Yea well it was my first time using docker but I got it working. I need to use my EE degree for something so wasn’t intimidated but I did have trouble getting it working at first and it took time to tweak the docker run settings. However I have just felt that if my raspberry pi would break how will i get back on running quickly.

Eventually I do want to move to a mini PC with Linux to have the HA docker Tun faster. I have to restart it and it takes a min to get it restarted on the Pi
