zwave-js-ui VS Pi-hole

The software I want to compile is open source. On the GitHub page below the author provides a copy of the source code as well as the compiled exe file. https://github.com/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui/releases

It's a bit convoluted. That's the ZWave-JS-UI for HA addon release notes. The note indicates an update to ZWaveJS-UI to v8.8.6. Those release notes say ZWaveJS-Server updates to v1.26. Finally, the ZWaveJS-Server release notes indicate the actual ZWaveJS package is updated to 10.10.0.

If that doesn't work then I would try connecting it to another piece of software like the Z-WaveJSUI software. It's the same thing as the addon that you would find in home assistant but it is standalone self contained windows program that's about 50mb in size. Download the latest version from here then extract the files and run the exe file. Now just type in 127.0.0.1:8091 in your browser to pull up the management webpage. Then you can go to settings and try to connect your USB. I believe you can update the firmware in this software as well but I'm not 100% certain.

Once you have all the hardware you’ll want to setup home assistant. Configure your zwave devices. I used zwavejs2mqtt (but without mqtt) I know very confusing… https://github.com/zwave-js/zwavejs2mqtt

However, looking at the githubs for these packages: * sonarr: https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/ * pihole: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole * zwavejs2mqtt: https://github.com/zwave-js/zwavejs2mqtt

I recently deployed a small fleet of Dell thin clients around my house to run zwavejs2mqtt[1] via docker. I decided to use Alpine because the machines have 2GB of ram and 8GB of eMMC storage and I figured Alpine would minimize resource usage. They're working great so far!

/u/Warm_Command7954 is right. You need to map /usr/src/app/store to a folder outside of the container or you will lose your configs on every update. This might help.

This is an upcoming feature that is in development. https://github.com/zwave-js/zwavejs2mqtt/pull/2205

Si te preguntas, ¿por qué no usar Adguard o Pihole? 🤔

This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.

Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).

A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Pi-hole to block ads and tracking for my less technically savvy relatives

I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.

Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.

It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.

Adguard [1] is a decent free option.

I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Are you trying to build a DNS proxy (similar to Pi-hole) that intercepts DNS requests and checks for the ones that look harmful? If so, I would suggest trying to separately build a DNS client and a DNS server, before trying to integrate them together. Start with Beej's Guide to Network Programming if you need to learn the basics of sockets, and then take a look at the documents that define the DNS protocol itself (RFC1034 and RFC1035).

Setup a pi-hole.

It's definitely not as simple as installing an app on your phone, but I run a Pi-hole on my home network, and it does block ads in many games.
