    Pebble Time 2.

    I use it primarily for notifications and secondarily for step / sleep tracking. I also currently use it for media control, home assistant, and various other generic watch things (timer, clock,stopwatch, etc)

    Still getting used to it. Perviously had (in order) a CMF Watch, PineTime, Garmin Venu, PineTime, and some nameless Amazon watch (ticwatch maybe?)

    As far as advice, personally I load a ton of stuff on every watch I’ve had thus far, and then remove stuff slowly as I realize that I don’t need it. I usually get rid of around half of the stuff I initially added. Honestly, just try new stuff, go through whatever app store your watch uses and find new cool stuff. There’s cool stuff hidden all over the place.

    I like the fact that there isn’t a distinction between the community edition and the business edition. Its all the same thing for Komodo, whereas I felt like Portainer had a bunc hof random things locked away behind the “Business Edition” and that just rubbed me the wrong way. If I’m self hosting something, I feel like I should be able to access all portions of it.

    The GUI is a little different but once you’re used to it, I feel like it makes more sense for the most part. It has a nice way to connect other machines, so I can monitor all of the different machines in my network that are hosting things. I also wanted to mess around with some of the automation features, but I haven’t had as much time to dick around with that as I would like. I also wanted to start doing stuff from a personal Forgejo, and it was super easy to integrate. (No idea how easy it is on Portainer, as I had already jumped ship at that point)

    Honestly, not entirely certain I did it right, but it was super easy. I literally spun up Komodo, spun down Portainer without shutting any of the other containers/stacks down, then added the same stacks back through the GUI option into Komodo with the same exact compose/title/env options. It literally just recognized that the containers that were already running on my server were the correct ones and “added” them back to the stack in Komodo. I vaguely remember reading that there is a more “correct” way to do it, but I only read about it after the fact.

    I use a nvidia shield with lineageos installed. It works perfectly for me with no tracking. I have Jellyfin, SmartTube, Dropout and Nebula installed (from F-droid, obtanium, and Aurora respectively) I think your TV has to be HDMI CEC but our shield remote can turn on/off the TV (I’m 90% certain HDMI CEC is the name of the standard) Outside of that, it is technically a smart TV but it is not connected to our network and will never be connected.

    I might be stupid, but I didn’t want to run the install script because I try and run everything via compose files in Komodo.

    I don’t know if this helps, but this is what my compose looks like:
    (Side note, I just put the ENV values directly into the compose. I know this is not recommended, so I put the values to use if you actually mount the env_file like you’re supposed to. )

    services:  
# ------- Ideon-App ------- 
  ideon-app:  
    image: ghcr.io/3xpyth0n/ideon:latest  
    container_name: ideon-app  

# If you want to do it correctly, mount the ENV_FILE  
#    env_file:  
#      - ${ENV_FILE:-.env}  
# If you want to do it janky, follow me  
    environment: #If you mount a ENV_File, only PUID and PGID are needed below.  
      PUID: 1000 # Optional: User ID for file ownership (default: 1001)  
      PGID: 1000 # Optional: Group ID for file ownership (default: 1001)  

# From the ENV_FILE:  
      APP_PORT: 3001 # Host port to expose the app (container listens on 3000) # I had Homepage on port 3000 so I moved Ideon to 3001  
      APP_URL: http://mymachinesip:3001/ # Public base URL of the app (used for invitations and SSO auth)  
      TIMEZONE: UTC # Canonical timezone for server logs ONLY  
      ### Database  
      #SQLITE_PATH=./storage/dev.db # Override SQLite path (optional) # Note: PostgreSQL variables are not required in "development" mode, SQLite is used automatically (storage/dev.db).  
      DB_HOST: ideon-db # PostgreSQL host or service name (Docker Compose: ideon-db)  
      DB_PORT: 5432 # PostgreSQL port (default 5432)  
      DB_NAME: ideon # PostgreSQL database name  
      DB_USER: ideon # PostgreSQL username  
      DB_PASS: # I ran "openssl rand -base64 15" in the terminal to get PW # PostgreSQL password  
      SECRET_KEY: # I ran "openssl rand -hex 32" in the terminal to get PW  

    depends_on:  
      ideon-db:  
        condition: service_healthy  
    restart: unless-stopped  
    ports:  
      - 3001:3001 #"${APP_PORT:-3000}:${APP_PORT:-3000}" 
    volumes:  
      - /mnt/app/containers/ideon/app:/app/storage  
    healthcheck:  
      test:  
        ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:3001/api/health"] #["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost/:${APP_PORT:-3000}/api/health"]  
      interval: 5s  
      timeout: 5s  
      retries: 5  
      start_period: 10s  

# ------- Ideon-DB ------- 
  ideon-db:  
    image: postgres:16-alpine  
    container_name: ideon-db  
    restart: unless-stopped  
    environment:  
      POSTGRES_USER: ideon # ${DB_USER}  
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD:  #same as DB_PASS   #${DB_PASS}  
      POSTGRES_DB: ideon # ${DB_NAME} 
    volumes:  
      - /mnt/app/containers/ideon/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data #I just hardmount everything  
    healthcheck:  
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U ideon -d ideon"] #["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U ${DB_USER} -d ${DB_NAME}"]  
      interval: 2s  
      timeout: 5s  
      retries: 5

    So far I love it. I wanted to use it locally for some low level importance notes before I try to move more over and set it up with an actual mounted env file on a VPS.

    My only thought so far is that its not the greatest on mobile, but I’m really not certain what that would even look like. (Edit: I’m dumb. I didn’t close the sidebar. It actually looks pretty good on mobile. Ignore me.)
