I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

I wish Home assistant was more conducive to running on Kubernetes. I tried it but so much of the local discovery doesn't work without being in the same LAN as all your IoT devices.

There's an easy answer to that...don't use IoT devices. I recently rebuilt my HA setup into a VM running on Proxmox, added a Zoos USB to ZWave dongle and then replaced every device that needed a network connection with a Z-Wave device. I have nothing left that needs, or can even connect to, the Internet and all of my routines / automations are fully local. I can turn my Router off and the only thing it will impact is remote access and voice control.

True. I kind of consider IoT a category of device nomenclature but that's not true.

I run my instance via docker-compose, and it's just a matter of setting network_mode: host on the container (in the YAML).

I'll have to take another crack at it sometime. You can do all kinds of container privilege modification in Kubernetes and maybe I just missed the one I need to set. I'll try to find the analog for the one you shared here. Thanks!

Looks like it's not all that hard, jsut have to give home assistant some additional permissions to networking at a lower level of the stack
