Du wolltest schon immer mal deinen eigenen #Podcatcher bauen?
Nicht abhängig sein von Spotify, Apple #Podcasts oder sonstigen Plattformen, sondern deinen Podcatcher selbst hosten und verwalten?
Genau das hab ich jetzt mal ausprobiert – und zwar mit #Audiobookshelf
Spoiler: Funktioniert richtig gut.
⚠️ All I wanted was to message Slack...
Ended up deep in env vars, tokens & chaos 😵💫
Now? One-click containers, zero config. Just vibes 💅☁️
Built for AI infra, loved by DevOps girls 💻✨
🚨 DevOps used to be:
⚙️ Manual servers
🧪 Conflicting stacks
🔐 API keys in plain JSON
💀 YAML-induced suffering
Now? GPT actually acts — thanks to Docker + MCP 🧠🤖🛠️
Just gave my Home Assistant setup a proper revamp, and it's finally running the way I always wanted.
Some of the bigger changes:
*Dropped vendor gateways in favor of a Zigbee dongle (way more flexible, no lock-in)
*Moved everything into Docker containers to keep it clean and modular
*Let Zigbee2MQTT handle the simple automations (faster and more reliable)
*Started tracking config in Git, with pre-commit hooks for YAML linting and validation (huge time-saver)
One thing that really stuck with me: the best smart home experience is one you barely notice. If you’re tapping buttons, something’s probably off.
Wrote up the whole setup, lessons learned, and shared my docker-compose.yml here: https://vpetersson.com/2025/06/07/home-assistant-revamp.html
Always keen to learn how others are solving for smart home stability, would love to hear what’s worked for you.
