@frenck I just installed Spook, and it immediately found 6 automation that were half-broken, because of changes in devices that I did not realize. Thank you!
@fox@mhamzahkhan@mmeier My constraint is also RAM, and I mostly run on Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB. The CPU is very lightly used, and their energy usar is very low (they're all PoE powered).
@balloob This is a very interesting use of AI. "Here are the rules, make sure these objects comply". Makes sense to automate a repetitive task. I hope it works in the long run!
@pj IMHO: as much as the infra to build the binaries is free, you should not be required/expected to provide them if you don't have the bandwidth, knowledge and infrastructure to support and maintain them. Otherwise it's just "checking a box", which doesn't do anybody any good (even the users of such architecture).
@mmeier Sorry: what's the point? You need a PXE-like environment when you regularly need to build bare metal. Is that what you really plan to do in your home lab? If not, sounds like a lot of work for hosts that would need to be rebuilt maybe once a year, or even longer than that.
@guysoft It's opinionated in the sense that some configuration options are very "strict" and require some workaround to change. I do intend to provide some feedback once I'm done testing it.
You're doing a great job, for sure, and that's what made me interested! Thank you!
Okay, it seems like FullPageOS kind of nearly fixed my issues with setting up a Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 in kiosk mode. It's very opinionated, and need a few tweaks, but it's "less bad" than setting up from scratch. Still need to play around with it more to have a final opinion.
Now, here's the biggest advantage of that option: it's built buy @guysoft, the same person who builds OctoPi. So, even though right now it seems to be in a bad/broken development cycle, it's still an interesting project to keep an eye on.
Yesterday, on an impulse, I bought a Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2, so today I'm trying to make it work on kiosk mode, with a Home Assistant control dashboard.
It's a mess. I really wish there was an easy way to make this work, but there isn't one I could find. Too much manual configuration, trial and error, and frustration.
I don't even know if I'm gonna publish everything I'm doing because it's UGLY, and makes it a very niche thing only for uber nerds. Totally not user friendly.
@shollyethan wow! I did not know about that Tailscale situation, and I think that was a bad design decision. If they have to be told/learn about every single shared email provider in the world, they're gonna go crazy. Why not just make private tailnets the default? ๐คท
