ha-addons VS google.cloud

I've been running scrypted for a few month as an Add-On to Home Assistant running on RPi 4 Model B (4 GB RAM). It ran well, but crashed RPi once every 2 days due to high memory usage (used oved 60% of poor Pi's memory).

Just leaving this comment por posterity in case anyone is looking for a way to set this up, didn't want to set up Homebridge on Homeassistant since it's a deprecated add-on, installed Scrypted (throught this repository: https://github.com/aegjoyce/ha-addons) and managed to get Homekit Secure Video working, including the iCloud backups, works pretty great and cameras load instantly.

There's no official HA add-on.The unofficial one I think most people use is this. https://github.com/aegjoyce/ha-addons

It provides a flexible and scalable infrastructure that can be tailored to each user's unique requirements, and it is widely regarded as one of the leading cloud platforms available today.

1) Create your Google account. If you're using a CC/VCC with a name set, I'd recommend you fill the Name and Surname fields with the ones on the CC. 2) Proceed to https://cloud.google.com and sign up for the 365 day trial. 3) Use your CC/VCC to set up the trial. No charges to your CC/VCC will be made. 4) Create a new VPS in Compute Engine => VM Instances. 5) Done! You now have a free VPS. You can set any configuration and location you'd like.
