This is a small set of Add-ons for Home Assistant. These are ment to be as plain and simple as possible with no bells or whistles. There are no built-in VPN services or SMB mounting. They do not have SSL support built in. Some personal tips:
- Use the NGINX Proxy Manager Add-on by @frenck to handle all the external traffic as a reverse proxy, and just use HTTP traffic on the internal network. NGINX Proxy Manager will handle SSL certificates and renewal for you.
- Mount external drives using 80-mount-usb-to-media-by-label.rules by @eklex. This will autmatically mount your hard drives to
/media. You can easily modify that file to mount in/shareif you prefer, as I did. - Use the internal backup functions of the Add-ons to store the backups in a folder you backup. For instance in Sonarr, navigate to
Settings->Generaland click onShow Advanced. Scroll down toBackups->Folderand input something like/media/addon_backups/sonarr/. Now if you use something like the Home Assistant Google Drive Backup Add-on by @sabeechen, make sure you configure it to backup the/mediafolder, and ignore theSonarrAdd-on. This will save lots of space for your backups.
- Open your Home Assistant instance.
- Open
Settings->Add-onsand click onAdd-on Store. - Click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select
Repositories. - Paste https://github.com/hulkhaugen/hassio-addons and click
Add.
EmulatorJS - In browser web based emulation portable to nearly any device for many retro consoles. A mix of emulators is used between Libretro and EmulatorJS. The frontend application has been initially optimized around being used with a standard gamepad. The navigation revolves around the up/down/left/right keys to browse the menus and launch games. Mobile browsers will function, just keep in mind compatibility will be reduced especially for CD based games.
Jellyfin is a Free Software Media System that puts you in control of managing and streaming your media. It is an alternative to the proprietary Emby and Plex, to provide media from a dedicated server to end-user devices via multiple apps. Jellyfin is descended from Emby's 3.5.2 release and ported to the .NET Core framework to enable full cross-platform support. There are no strings attached, no premium licenses or features, and no hidden agendas: just a team who want to build something better and work together to achieve it.
NGINX is based on the official NGINX Alpine Slim image from Docker Hub, and has a footprint of only 5 MB. It installs the NGINX image, and sets up a folder structure where you can configure a server, configure crontab, add Alpine APK packages and PyPI packages, add and modify start-up scripts. Initially very light, but flexible in that you can add pretty much anything you need.

Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, if it is shared with some third party and how it's transmitted over the Internet.
Tautulli is a 3rd party application that you can run alongside your Plex Media Server to monitor activity and track various statistics. Most importantly, these statistics include what has been watched, who watched it, when and where they watched it, and how it was watched. The only thing missing is "why they watched it", but who am I to question your 42 plays of Frozen. All statistics are presented in a nice and clean interface with many tables and graphs, which makes it easy to brag about your server to everyone else.
