Why I moved this blog from a WordPress container to a static Zola site, how the posts got converted straight out of the database, and what broke along the way.

A new version of the mbsync and Dovecot Docker images, now with Solr full-text search for fast IMAP searches.

Running the php-fpm Nextcloud Docker image directly behind Nginx Proxy Manager, without a second nginx container.

Replacing a discontinued Logitech Harmony with a cheap Bluetooth remote, a Python event listener, and Home Assistant automations, with no cloud involved.

Using an always-free Oracle Cloud VM and a WireGuard tunnel to OPNsense to expose self-hosted services publicly without opening ports at home.

Repackaging the mbsync and Dovecot setup from Parts 1 and 2 into a pair of Docker images, configured entirely through environment variables.

Running XMCOSY+ outdoor string lights fully locally with Local Tuya, template lights and Node-RED, keeping colors, scenes and brightness.

Designing and 3D printing a wall mount for a 2015 Amazon Fire tablet as a Home Assistant dashboard, with the cord hidden in the wall. STL included.

Pairing Zigbee devices caused the ZB-GW03 to reboot under Zigbee2Tasmota. The unofficial tasmota32-zigbeebridge firmware fixes it.
