Tasks.org and logseq here, ended up being the simplest way after bouncing off grocy and other overly detailed systems.

Tip: before going through with hosting NextCloud, you could get /e/ accounts, they don’t give much space but since it’s just rebranded NextCloud, you can try it out and see if it works for you.

Currently we use several tasks boards so chores are separate by type (shopping list, maintenance, bills, chores) and logseq’s journal on the app makes it flexible to take notes or whatever you need (audio notes, pics, links, etc)

While I was researching I found out about Squeezebox, as there are people using it in combination with HomeAssistant. Both solutions you and @cfi provided seem pretty doable, and I’ve already been tinkering with Mopidy on armbian. Snapcast is something I’ve never heard of, and I’m definetly going to tinker around it, I’d love to be able to sync several speakers around the house, specially for parties and gatherings.

That being said I think they are a bit overkill for the usecase, and I’m looking for something even simpler, maybe repurposing the guts of a cheap BT speaker I have lying around, see if I can find somewhere on the PCB where I can tap line level audio output and solder it directly inside the amp/sub box, along with a small power supply to run without batteries. (I know there are ready-made BT modules for this, but where’s the fun in that!)

Holy crap thanks for the detailed walkthrough! Im going to set it up as soon as I can!!

Is Geometric Weather displaying info on thebdetail cards for your chosen service? I changed it to OoenWeatherMap and still shows me accuweather cards

Probably overkill, but NextCloud has a health app with a pretty big suite of features

With a gpu in the mix, it could be used as an htpc/console and also work as a nas/media server with transcoding.

It’s been over a year and a half since I built this setup, and to this day I kick myself for not building everything on top of proxmox. That being said, I’m on a rather limited hardware, so I don’t know how much better would be to migrate to it (R3 3200G, 6gb of ram)

setting up a graphical session with a non-root user and sandboxing Jellyfin media player would be relatively easily, for example using only flatpak, you could sandbox it so it only has access to your media path.

I really like Flame. I have it as my startpage on both desktop and mobile browsers. It’s light and pretty quick to set up

This looks kinda neat, I even tore down my whole servarr stack to give it a go, alas I can’t get bitmagnet to “talk” with prowlarr. I’m probably doing something really stupid, but I can’t figure out how to add the whole thing under a single docker network, I get errors like network somename was found but has incorrect label com.docker.compose.network set to ""

Been there, done that. Start with something frendlier. I personally love CasaOS (its just 1 command you need to copy-paste on a fresh ubuntu server install)
