Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

I'm not using any other integration. Isn't this a resource monster?
I just don't want to keep running an entire VM with their image. Something more simple that could be used on a LXC / systemd-nspawn container or directly on a base system would be nicer.
It's half a GB of ram and virtually no CPU usage. You could run it on a Pi 3 with a 16Gb SD card and have resources to spare.
This is just weird.
What is weird is having to waste almost 700MB of ram + 10GB of storage for a simple webui that charts sensor data and only keeps it for 10 days. As a comparison my NAS container runs Samba4, FileBrowser, Syncthing, Transmission, and a few others under 300MB of RAM with pontual spikes on operations.
There's a lot of difference between a container and a VM. You can install HA on a container, all you have to do is set it up according to the manual install instructions, and work around any hardware interfacing issues that come up. You'll save 200MB of RAM and will have to do any upgrades manually. Doesn't seem worth it to me, but to each their own.
What I'm going to do is setup HA Core on a container manually and run without addons / docker. That will be about installing python and should waste way less resources.
??
If you don't need the addons you don't need Docker. HA Core is a python script with a few dependencies that can run with pyenv and a simple systemd service unit at every boot.
yeah but that’s not setting up a container that’s just setting up python env
Yes, but I would rather do it inside a LXC container.
ah got it, thanks
You have found the smallest, tiniest, itty bittiest potatoe to get upset about here. You could run this on a toaster.
I'm not upset, just wondering / looking for way to keep the potato from growing further and/or alternatives.
If this is what you consider a resource monster you’re gonna have a really, really rough time
This isn't reasonable at all, 700MB of ram + 10GB of storage for a simple webui that charts sensor data and only keeps it for 10 days.
You need to edit your configuration.yaml file to exclude certain sensors or values. I excluded some of the more chatty sensors that I didn't need and my disk use went from around 40gb to 150mb
Interesting. I'll have to check what might be logging so much info.
In what world is this is a resource monster??
Do you have the entire hass-os image running in a VM?
Yes.
