Strit

I was considering doing something similar to OP, but I also think it's better to do it the other way around, having the backup server connect to the network when it's time to do a backup. Then you can just use the trusty ssh/rsync combo for backup.

I work at a microsoft based company and I am running Linux on my machine after getting approval from my IT security people.

I do need to set a couple of things up, for my machine to still be compliant with the company policies.

So far that is:

• Enrolled in Intune (via microsoft's intune portal app)
• Full Disk Encryption (pretty standard these days)
• Microsoft Defender Endpoint (a requirement many companies have)
• Strong passwords that's changed pretty often

But whether you are allowed to or not, really depends on your IT department and the company policies.

Sure, if you call that average. ;)

I wouldn't call compiling from source the average experience these days.

Most software is gonna be in the distro repositories or as a flatpak/snap/appimage.

Is your audio server running? I assume it's pipewire on Fedora 40.

I didn't know about Yale. It's bluetooth only?

The Schlage HA integration states that it relies on the cloud (cloud polling), so they go against your fourth point.

I am also interested in something like this for later down the line.

I have basic video editing needs, so I just use Kdenlive, which can do a lot of stuff.

But that requires a broker, right?

Seems DaVinci Resolve does not have support for the latest Ubuntu's yet.

What guide did you follow to install Davinci?

It probably contained something that removes a lot of stuff. Like replacing a dependency with a davinvi specific one, which uninstalled most of the system.

I don't have mqtt in my home, so I assume this would not work for me, even though the computer is connected to the same network as the HA instance is?
