DEPRECATED
I have moved my configuration to blakeblackshear/blakeshome-k8s and run on k3os now that CoreOS is no longer supported. Also, in response to the move to UI-based configuration of HomeAssistant, I no longer manage my HomeAssistant config via github.
Overview
This is the my configuration for my home server. It serves the following functions:
- nginx proxy
- oauth2_proxy for authentication across all applications
- homeassistant
- appdaemon
- mqtt (mosquitto)
- ffmpeg based ip camera recording
- motion detection for ip cameras
- (future) tensorflow based object detection for cameras
- pihole for adblocking and dhcp server
- unifi controller for network gear
- postgres (db for homeassistant)
HomeAssistant
My config isn't very organized. Still trying to decide what works best for me.
