Just got my new NAS drives, so about to make the transition.

It’s actually new drives, and a new host. I’ve been running my old Synology NAS for years. But decided I ought to switch to a “real” NAS through Proxmox.

Just set up a simple samba container with Cockpit as a web manager, so far working really well. But I want to validate backups before I start moving all the irreplaceable data.

Something I’m excited about is using my old Synology NAS as an automatic, off-site backup once I transition. Heard about Duplicati from a friend, sounds like a great syncing solution.

Other than that I’ve been looking into using Apple HomeKit features with my Home Assistant devices. And also planning to move my hardware from the cheap Amazon floor shelf to a real 19” rack.

Been curious about deploying HA with docker. As I understand the only limitation is you can’t use add-ons?

I spun up a MQTT/Aedes/MongoDB stack on my network recently for some ESP32 sensors.

Fantastic protocol and super easy to work with!
