HA is an absurdly heavyweight pile of Python and Docker. Get it a real computer — a used “thin client” with 8 GB of RAM is probably less expensive than an RPi4

HA is an absurdly heavyweight pile of Python and Docker. Get it a real computer — a used “thin client” with 8 GB of RAM is probably less expensive than an RPi4 plus case and power supply.
- baq 7mo agoan intel n100/150 minipc is perfect, if you get an old enough build (don't ask) you can install proxmox on it and set up hass as a vm as God intended. if you have to ask, mine was too new and had to settle for a non-LTS Ubuntu Server. it works, but I can't wait for LTS in a few months.
- amluto 7mo agoWhat’s the issue with new ones? Proxmox should work just fine on new hardware. I’m rocking a Dell Wyse “thin client” that cost rather less than any comparable N150. It’s fanless, still gets firmware updates (via LVFS!), and takes about 5W at the wall plug.
- baq 7mo agoproxmox itself should work, but the installer has a much older kernel and didn't have the network interface driver.
