Quick downer context: I was just recently diagnosed with cancer that is pretty aggressive. I don’t have a prognosis yet but I’m thinking ahead. My wife doesn’t want me to undo everything yet, but something to update reliability is in order.
Right right now my set up is hosted virtual machine (VMware) on a Mac mini. Every time the power flashes I need to get in there and start things up manually (sudo). The time between me doing that and me starting Hass up, more than a couple of things don’t run quite right.
Is there a piece of hardware or some set up environment that does not require the complexity? I know I can put it on a raspberry pi, but I found that ran out of resources fast when I first started.
I’ve seen a couple of those dedicated boxes for Home Assistant so maybe that’s a good route, but I’m open to suggestions.
