docker-omada-controller VS scrypted

I use pfSense on top of KVM, with TP-Link Omada for wifi. Rock-solid.

You can install pfSense using the serial image[1] for a real text-only console you can access via SSH to the host machine. The Omada controller runs well in docker[2].

If you are Linux-savvy, you could do this even more cheaply by replacing the ER7212PC with a garden-variety PoE switch plus a Raspberry Pi 4 running Omada Controller in a Docker container, plus DHCP and DNS servers.

I have the Omada controller 4.x running on a PC. I want to move to Firewalla Purple using mbentley's Omada container, https://github.com/mbentley/docker-omada-controller

My setup: I'm using my server (HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini) to manage my two TP-Link Omada compatible devices (one managed switch and one Wi-Fi 6 AP) with the help of Docker - an Omada SDN wrapper image (by mbentley/docker-omada-controller). The server is running behind the managed switch (just for information), the Docker container running on this server, from docker-compose and there is no other problems just the issue below.

So if I look at his documentation, he includes a sample docker compose file here. Fantastic, I don't even have to guess or anything. I can just copy and paste his file and then tweak as necessary! Mine looks different than his because I copied his example a long time ago, and he's modified his code since then. Anyway, my service definition still works, so I'm not sweating the differences.

and don't overlook that user's other repos, as seems like there are quite a few fun things in there: https://github.com/koush?tab=repositories

I have taken a look at the page for debugging steps for Homekit recording and haven’t played with any setting mentioned there.

Unfortunately the options for HKSV doorbells is fairly limited. The Logitech circle view Doorbell looks like the best candidate but it has a spotty review history, with the biggest complaint being it breaking in direct sunlight.

I’m about to buy some cameras and I’m thinking of just buying Nest and using https://scrypted.app to bridge to HKSV.

In the demo video linked to from the Scrypted Github repo, the author has some kind of a delivery box (visible in the top camera), with a camera inside the box in night vision mode, able to report on whether there’s anything in the box. Does anyone know how this setup was achieved, or have done something similar to combine a camera with a closed delivery box?

You can migrate the scrypted setup with this: https://github.com/koush/scrypted/wiki/Scrypted-Backup-and-Restore

I see two options, both from brands that seem to be well-received on the brand report card.

You might want to try setting them up with Scrypted then use the plugin to get them into Homebridge.
