Goals

When first starting off with any always-on device in my home, I didn’t have any plans or goals in mind. As the possibilities and inspiration started to take hold of me, some goals started to appear.

Principles I try to live by:

  • It should be fun and not take up a whole day when something is not working perfectly
  • I don’t want to be scared to upgrade my host machine
  • Services should be contained and decoupled
  • Everything needs to be on SSL

Goals I have:

  • I want to have insights in my energy/gas and solar panel statistics
  • I want to have my services on a dedicated hostname
  • I want to be able to run my dad’s website at home
    • I want to have daily backups on a separate machine
  • I want to be able to play and mess things up
  • I want to have an energy efficient climate system
