Creating a Linux bridge device with a specific tagged VLAN
This guide outlines the steps to set up a Linux bridge device connected to a physical Ethernet interface with a specific VLAN tag. In this article the VLAN tag will be assumed as 170 but it can be any valid VLAN tag/id.
In the world of networking, a Linux bridge device is a powerful tool that acts as a virtual switch, connecting different network segments seamlessly. It operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, forwarding traffic between connected interfaces based on their MAC addresses.
Compile rtl_433 with SSL Support on macOS
The rtl_433 that comes bundled with Homebrew on macOS does not support SSL. Which means that we need to compile it from source. It is rather straight forward to do so.
Uninstall rtl_433 If you already have rtl_433 installed via Homebrew it should be removed first.
brew uninstall rtl_433 Dependencies brew install cmake pkg-config openssl@3 Compile from Source git clone https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433.git cd rtl_433 mkdir build cd build cmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=$(brew –prefix openssl@3) .
Use Let’s Encrypt certificates with Cockpit
After installing Cockpit you will likely end up with certificates that are self-signed and therefore untrusted by default.
There is a better way; Let’s Encrypt.
NOTE: Through out the article the fully-qualified domain name of the Cockpit server is treated as a variable (e.g., $FQDN). Make sure to either define a similar variable with an appropriate value or replace it when copying the commands.
Install certbot First thing is first, install certbot1.
Install Podman on Proxmox
Installing Podman on Proxmox is rather straight forward. The initial idea for how to do this came from a post on the Serve the Home (STH) blog: Create the Ultimate Virtualization and Container Setup (KVM, LXC, Docker) with Management GUIs. In that article STH uses Docker and provides a Portainer GUI. In this example the Portainer GUI is going to be omitted and use Podman instead of Docker.
The daemonless part of Podman is the real selling point.
Migrate Home Assistant to HassOS Running on Proxmox
Installing Home Assistant on Proxmox is relatively straightforward thanks to a script by Whiskerz007 on GitHub.
I will not detail the steps here as they are pretty well documented both in the README and on the Home Assitant message boards.
This topic is about migrating the data from an existing Home Assistant installation into HassOS.
The complication is that HassOS mostly has a read-only file system and for whatever reason SCP is not working correctly.
