I dunno if it’s just because it’s new but it has the feel of a 2000s forum to me, but in a better format to read

No guest network, I have a really simple setup at home in general, the 3 Ubiquiti APs are the only ones broadcasting, firmware is up to date and everything

I’m using 3 Ubiquiti APs and running my own management instance on my server in a docker container.

I still haven’t been able to figure out why, except for maybe crappy Ubiquiti firmware, but if that container goes down or loses connectivity then the APs flood my router with traffic and my whole network goes down.

Even wired connections don’t work since the router is locked up, and when my server comes back up it won’t be able to reestablish connection because the router is still dead.

The only way I’ve found to fix it is to power cycle the APs which is obviously a huge pain.

Can’t get any support from Ubiquiti on it since I’m not using one of their controllers even though it’s obviously a firmware issue. Definitely do not recommend.

What a liar, he’s got some js to block right-clicking in…Netscape…👀

Yeah, I haven’t missed the HASS add-ons but that’s a good point

Just get started somewhere. I ran traditional VMs for most things before and I would never go back unless it was necessary for something.

Easiest way is just to start using Docker for some service you’re hosting that has a public image available and go from there. If you want a more visual approach there’s stuff like Portainer you can use too.

Also get started early on with docker compose, it makes it much easier to organize your container configs.

What is your system backup solution like? Having it separated seems convenient for that since you can just back up the vm storage somewhere I’m guessing?

Fwiw I’ve been running home assistant in a docker container for a couple years without any issues
