  • I have an HP DL380 Gen8 and then a PC I bought from the local university and use as a server.

    My DL380 runs ESXi. My PC runs Ubuntu on bare metal.

    All of my apps are either fully VM-based (Home Assistant OS) or run in containers. Containers are far easier to build, upgrade, and migrate, and also make file management a lot easier.

    I use Docker Compose. No Swarm or Kubernetes at this point.

    Hopefully this is at least a good start! Let me know if you have any questions.








  • No special addon. I use a Node-RED flow to query the Paperless-NGx API to find the number of documents with the “intake” tag. Here’s a template.

    Instructions:

    1. Create an API token for Paperless-NGx by going to http://<PAPERLESS_URL_WITH_PORT>/admin/authtoken/tokenproxy/ and clicking Add Token
    2. Import the flow into Node-RED
    3. Take the token you’ve created in step 1 and paste it over the <PAPERLESS_TOKEN> placeholder in the “Headers” function node
    4. Change the URL in the “Make API Request” HTTP node to point towards your Paperless-NGx installation
    5. Replace the debug node at the end with whatever you want. I personally use a Sensor node to import the value into Home Assistant.
