home-setup

My home server setup for home monitoring and non-cloud apps.

• Temperature and humidity monitoring
• Bitwarden password manager

Hardware

• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 4 GB RAM
• 3 x ESP8266 NodeMCU
• Sensors
  • 1 x DHT21 (Humidity Temperature Sensor)
  • 3 x BME280 (Barometric Sensor)

Setup

Raspberry

1. Write a Raspbian image to the sd-card

• Enable SSH on a headless Raspberry Pi
• Add WIFI configuration
  Mount sd-card and put wpa_supplicant.conf into boot folder

  ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
  update_config=1
  country=US
  
  network={
    ssid="<wifi_ssid>"
    psk="<wifi_password>"
  }
  

• Add pre-config for dhcp within rootfs (On macOS you can mount it with ext4fuse; https://piratefache.ch/mount-raspberry-pi-sd-card-on-mac-os/)
  /etc/dhcpcd.conf

  interface eth0 # or 'wlan0' or any other interface
  static ip_address=192.168.1.2/24
  # static ip6_address=:::::/64
  static routers=192.168.1.1
  static domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1 192.168.1.1
  

2. Install Docker

   curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
   sudo sh get-docker.sh
   sudo usermod -aG docker Pi
   
   sudo apt-get -y install libffi-dev libssl-dev python3-dev python3 python3-pip
   sudo pip3 -v install docker-compose
   

3. Insert the sd-card and boot up
4. Login via ssh

home-assistant

1. copy the config to the raspberry pi
2. Create config folders (if config folders are changed, update docker-compose.yaml)

   mkdir /opt/homeassistant/config
   mkdir /opt/homeassistant/config
   mkdir /opt/mosquitto/config
   mkdir /opt/mosquitto/data
   mkdir /opt/mosquitto/log
   mkdir /opt/bitwarden/data
   mkdir /opt/certs
   

3. Run docker-compose up -d in folder home-assistant
4. Add mosquitto password file mosquitto_passwd (TODO add detailed description)
5. Run the python script for raspberry sensors every 5 minutes.

• TODO; detailed pip install/dependency instructions
• Add script to crontab

  crontab -e

ESP8266 + Sensor

Setup inspired by home-assistant sample.

The 3 ESP8266 have each a BME280 sensor connected and are configured for MQTT auto-detection with home-assistant.

1. Install Arduino IDE
2. Adapt esp8366.ino
3. Write esp8366.ino to the controller
4. Plugin the controller

Bitwarden

1. Go to bitwarden folder
2. Run docker-compose up -d
