I checked and there is basically no need to switch to fhem if you have a working environment as in HA the connection/use of a telegram bot is also possible.

I don’t use HA but FHEM and what I do to retrieve data from my homecontrol is using a telegram bot.

In telegram you can setup buttons when formatting messages, so my bot shows me the control menu with predefined actions. One action is to show my power consumption at home.

There is no need to open ports as the telegram bot polls the same way you cell phone does.

Also the bot only communicates to known clients that I predefined before, so nobody can see or control my home network.

Maybe something similar is possible in HA.

Ripping myself is what I did with Libation as suggested here. You log into your audible account when starting the software for the first time, your libary is shown and you can start to download.

When adjusting the auto tagging then audiibookshelf automatically sorts the stuff in the correct way with series etc.

Perfect combination and totally free.

Not for ripping but to serve your books and for the selfhosters among us use audiobookshelf.

Really great piece of software

Seems like the world couldn’t agree to a standard at all.

Debian 12, LXC on proxmox, x64 system.

As ITX was already mentioned I just built mine using Fractal Node 304 case, in black though. You could keep the ATX power supply.

Thats basically the way I do it.

pvesh get /cluster/resources --output-format json-pretty | jq --arg k "lxc/$container_id" -r 'map(select(.id == $k))[].name, map(select(.id == $k))[].mem, map(select(.id == $k))[].maxmem, map(select(.id == $k))[].cpu')

Example using pvesh in proxmox. The data is available, just have to use it. I also prefer barebone approach.

Nice, will take a look into it

Does zabbix use a database continuously polling and storing data or is live data used for indication and/or triggers?

I ran a NSLU2 with custom firmware and a mumble server on it. We used it to talk during online gaming without the need for teamspeak etc.
Played BF3 mostly.

Those where the days

Edit: clarification

My paranoid me has no concerns in regards to Linux but I am running pyload in an LXC under proxmox to download you know what for my Windows PC.

So before using the files I would like to have them checked.

Therefore I just finished my setup.

Debian 12 LXC unprivileged, running pyload through openvpn tunnel. clamav does daily checks in the download directory and sends me an email if anything is found.

Depends, in proxmox using ZFS mirror using two drives it goes degraded when missing one.

But would use it carefully tbh as it is all that’s left over in that case. If there is no external backup.

I just built a Server almost using the same parts. Its the ASRock J5040 board, 16gb ram (yes it works) a 500gb m.2 as system using a PCI adapter , 2x4tb ironwolf as ZFS mirror pool, 350 W power supply all in the node 304 fractal case for 550 euro.

Runs proxmox as hypervisor for VM or Container. As example LXC running container for motioneye, jellyfin, pyload with openvpn and syncthing.
