HHhhmm… Do container/docker install option. This is why it’s probably stagnated in adoption from the selfhosted community.

It needs a container based install, no one likes installing dependencies and crud onto their pristine environments any longer.

OOhhh I didn’t know about this!!! Thanks so much, I’ll be playing with that later…

Hahaha yes… I agree… I was very hesitant to include this as my header pic but I was like, eehhh, it’s realistic at least! The key is it shows certain ‘apps’ running on that Google TV. 😆

Yes sadly there’s a bit of a stranglehold on the market regarding sports. It’s the one thing that is held very close to the chest by the large Corps & broadcasters.

Thanks for taking a read through! Lots more to come ;)

I’ve been using Unifi APs since 2017 and they are fantastic. I control them with the Unifi Network Application via docker compose. Incredibly well priced APs that fit right into the ‘prosumer’ market for sure and still powerful enough to do SMB no problem.

As for FOSS Networking options - OPNsense FTW !!! It’s an open source firewall/router based on FreeBSD and extremely performant, feature rich, stable and secure… Absolutely love it, it’s the core of my network.

In regards to ZFS, I’ve been running a ZFS system of one type or another at home since 2013/2014… Totally valid & usable for home networks, many many do use ZFS storage systems. I’m very preferential to OpenMediaVault which is a NAS OS, but based directly on Debian! Debian is basically the Linux OS you want for reliability but paired with OMV’s gui - makes having a custom NAS easy.
