Esp-home also works with the older esp-01 - it was released as a wifi module so there are only two gpio’s, but thats enough for a lot of home automation stuff.
Here’s one i have connected to HA, where HA uses rest-api to capture some data from a game called tacticus, and it shows my available tokens for guild raid and arena
Heres the top google link i found: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/how-to-flash-a-custom-firmware-to-sonoff/
Esp-home is available as a HA addin, docs here: https://esphome.io/
Too much fanfare and too little real info shared to be of any value. Sounds more like an ad than infosec
You can already reflash a lot of devices for this purpose. And you could use esp-home to customise once reflashed
I dont get it - are you trying to mimic vm’s with you docker containers? docker works great using the normal way of exposing ports from the internal docker net through the host. Making technology work in ways it wasnt designed for usually gives you a hard to maintain setup
You have a mighty big hand if you reach l and a with the same one
I must have been doing websites wrong for decades by not forwarding through a reverse proxy. I admit a good one like caddy makes tls easy, but unless you have several backends for one site theres no need. The reverse proxy part of load balancer is very similar to a port forward, but on layer 7 instead of 3 or 4
There are other things to consider as well. Nfsv3 is good for large sequential reads/writes. There are no multichannel in nfs3 and no caching , and you should adapt technology to the use-case. For vm storage nfs sucks while for movie storage it works great.
For general file storage I would pick smbv3 for speed and ease of user/security
Multicast DNS uses multicasting (surprise!) so keep your devices on the same network and it just works. Docker is not very multicast friendly but lxc or a vm should have no issues.
