Introduction

This page describes my system setup. Here you can find software I rely on for running my smart home system.

Using Proxmox

Ubuntu LXC

I use Ubuntu as a primary OS for my Raspberry Pi. Ubuntu is a well-maintained Linux distribution with a huge community and large support forums.

It officially supports Raspberry Pi and can be easily installed via the official Raspberry Pi Imager.

Docker

I use Docker for managing all containers in my smart home.

Docker allows to encapsulate everything related to a single service within a container. This approach helps to maintain host system clean and manage (start, stop, update and delete) every container separately.

Enabling hardware acceleration

smart-home CLI

This is just a bash script I wrote for personal need. You can find it here.

This performs typical tasks I do in my smart home, like bootstraping, controlling server, updating, etc.
