And then I noticed that it could do VMs. Great! I thought.

Unless I misunderstand, I literally cannot do any of these things:</p><ul><li>backup a VM</li><li>restore a VM</li><li>export a VM</li><li>import a VM</li><li>snapshot a VM</li></ul><p>If I treat each VM like a full <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> host, I can back it up using something else (e.g., <code>rsync</code>). But if this was <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/xcp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xcp</span></a> with Xen Orchestra, I'd have this whole thing solved in seconds.</p><p>I'm thinking about creating a big VM, running a nested hypervisor (XCP) and then running my VMs there. But that sounds like a huge faff. And even then, while I could snapshot the child VMs, that parent VM running the hypervisor would be hard to backup/restore.</p><p>I have plenty of RAM and spare CPU cycles on my NAS. But I've only recently understood how bad this VM support is. If I lost my HomeAssistant VM I'd cry.</p><p>Anybody have thoughts on this?<br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosted</span></a></p>

Nice little trick to improve the WiFi on your #ESP32 boards with PCB antenna. The improvement is clearly visible

This Week in Self-Hosted (4 April 2025)
#AprilShowers bring new projects, software updates and launches, a spotlight on #BookLore -- an ebook management and reading platform, and more in this week's #selfhosted recap!
In-fucking credible. The #HomeAssistant companion app doesnt support socks5 for tor access. Instead, they want you to forward ports and get a dynamic DNS and an SSL certificate because its so much easier. /s
How incredibly disappointing and short-sighted.

@balkonsolar ich hab einen Deye-Wechselrichter und 2 Panele und die zugehörige Solarman- App im Einsatz. Jetzt will ich wissen, wieviel Strom ich nutze und wieviel einspeise. Dafür brauche ich einen Zähler, also ein Smart meter, dass ich mit der App verwenden kann. Habt ihr da einen Tipp, für was 3-phasiges, mit WiFi oder Ethernet, man auch später mit einer größeren Installation, z.B. MQTT, #Homeassistant etc verwenden kann?
I see some new attention to dashboards in the latest #HomeAssistant which is great.
I need to spend some time learning how to do more with dashboards and cards, as I'm not wild about the information density and organization I've been able to achieve so far (which has been rudimentary)

my #HomeAssistant pi keeps falling over and I have no idea where to start diagnosing and fixing the issue. I think it's a problem with the external SSD, as unplugging it and plugging it back into a different USB port fixes it?
#homeassistant Can anyone help me? I've installed HA on my Synology drive, and the client on my Android tablet. I have several Govee bulbs and light strips, but HA has only found one strip. And now I'm stuck. How can I get it to recognize the others? Thanks for any help.
Continued thread
Replaced old 1950s receptacle w new one. Added clamp-on current sensors out to a #Zigbee unit in a separate (plastic) box to contact #HomeAssistant.
Broke the tab off to split the receptacle and applied sensors to track dehumidifier and sump pump separately.
Needed a sensor flip to fix current dir, but it works nicely now. I get an email if the pump comes on!
Only in the house 6mo or so, and don't think the sump pump has run yet. We'll see how spring goes – probably the riskiest period.
