I've had an old laptop running Home Assistant for quite a while. I've recently started getting into docker. I'm part way through setting up a NAS and want to check if I'm doing anything really stupid.

My ideas so far:

  • Samba sharing a host folder on the local network
  • Rsync for regular backups to a separate host folder
  • WireGuard to connect directly to an offsite laptop with the same setup
  • Syncthing for realtime synchronisation and temporary file versioning
  • Home Assistant for rsync backup monitoring

Are there any issues with this setup, and is there anything else I should consider?
