Running Home Assistant and IoT stack on EndeavourOS server

General system Newbie
1

Running a home automation and energy monitoring stack on EndeavourOS. Chose it over Ubuntu Server for rolling release and AUR access.

Stack on Intel N100:

- Home Assistant in podman

- InfluxDB for time-series data

- Grafana dashboards

- Mosquitto MQTT broker

- Node-RED for automation flows

Manages temperature sensors in Phoenix AZ where summers exceed 115F. Automation pre-cools house before peak pricing, saves 15-18% on bills.

EndeavourOS notes:

- systemd-resolved conflicts with Mosquitto, fixed with DNSStubListener=no

- Podman rootless needs uid mapping for InfluxDB

- AUR has mosquitto-clients for debugging

Full server setup documented at arizonahometips.com. Anyone else running home server stacks on EndeavourOS?

I run my server stuff on debian, due to the fact that I need stability over new packages, and I need clear maintenance windows, especially for my homeserver stuff. Reliability is more important than bleeding edge imho.
I also seperate every service from each other (seperation of concerns), so I have an influx LXC, a Grafana LXC, and so on. I use proxmox as virtualizer.
What is your motivation to do it the other way round?
