Home Assistant iOS app adds local push notification support

I run it on my Synology NAS inside a docker container, managed via the command line rather than the web GUI. I know this is not the best solution but since my NAS is on 24/7 anyway and has heaps of spare RAM and CPU, it's the best solution for me.

If you want to buy hardware, get the ODROID N2. It's the closest thing to an officially supported hardware platform in the HA universe. (The ODROID N2 was bundled and sold as "Home Assistant Blue" for a period.)

I do this too. What are the downsides to this solution?

Probably none. But Synology software updates could brick anything at any time.

This doesn’t seem like a likely problem. However moving my install off a Synology and into a vm on a nuc (keeping it in docker) made a massive difference to response times and performance. It’s hard to beat the combo of more ram, more cpu and nvme.

I'm running two instances, one on Synology+Docker, other on Odroid (N2+, config like the HA-edition, minus the nice case).

I don't really see any performance issue with Synology (Avoton with 16 GB RAM), just the `docker-compose up` takes a few seconds. Response time-wise, it is fine. Plus, I'm using the Synology reverse proxy, so that one takes care of a few things too.

Of course, Core-i5/i7 will beat Atom-based NAS; but HA doesn't really need that.

Getting it into docker-compose is incredible. I wish you could handle the config files better but it’s very satisfying having it all up in seconds.

Which Synology model did you move it off

918+. It’s a good unit but I’ve moved to a 1819+ to get more bays, 10gbe and lots of ECC.
