If you want an alternative a seafile server and the the seafile drive client that mounts a seafile folder into your file browser works well. it will also download the file as you need it rather than sync everything inf the folders

Yast2 Gui GTK just makes it easier because you can click on the games pattern to toggle delete, update, lock, etc

Seafile has a free open source edition, and even their paid enterprise license is free under 3 users

Gnome Disks Util. select mounted drive, go to top right and choose restore image

Instead of wifi printing, my printer is attached directly to my Pi, then Common Unix Print Server/System (later Rebranded Cupertino Print Server when apple took over the project many years later) acts as printer announcement, driver and spooler service.

https://github.com/jkbenaim/hs100 if you have tplink kasa hardware this cli tool lets you send direct commands via Wifi, no hub required. it is not that the tech actually needs a server, it is that the server handles IP address changes, records data, checks switch on/off status, scheduling, etc, to provide a better experience than hitting an on off command.

What is bad is when the supplying company goes out of business, you are left with junk. Self Hosting is the way.

Also if you buy Kasa TPlink plgus and switches there is a git HS100 repo that has scripts to run to preprogram your switches to use a localhost instead of baked in proprietary IP server, and scripts to associate your switches and plugs to your wifi without an app. https://github.com/jkbenaim/hs100

With this CLI tool you can also manipulate the plugs and switches direct by IP address rather than via homeassistant server.

You just need one Pi. get a pi5 for future proofing. Docker addition , so you can host more than just home assiatant

My homeassistant is running on a pi2 with 2GB RAM. it doesn't need much.

But yes, it is a central place for processing and recording data, either from phone, imstalled electrical hardware or other devices.

The bios isn't like a regular storage device presented to the kernel for mounting.

Just Web GUI
