For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?
RP4 running Home Assistant. Running HA in a docker container is harder than running it as the OS on a Pi4. Running HA is how I get into this, i kept trying to put more crap into HA as addons before realizing i should set up a proper server.
I assembled a handful of temp/humidity sensors (that are actually running on Wemos D1 minis).
Maybe it isnt as bad as i remember, or maybe i tried doing HA Core on the debian server or something… maybe it got better or maybe im a fool? (I definitely am a fool).
I guess it just as much came down to that I already had the pi, so just running it on that like i had for a year was less hassle than starting it via docker on the other machine?
The only use for RPI is kodi and Mainsail for the printer. All of them boot from NFS, so no storage issues. Everything else is x86-64 or docker containers on those Intel/amd machines.

What makes it harder in the container?

No HACS support out of the box. (HA as docker)
