How do you guys run home assistant?
I tried out home assistant using virtual box on my main pc and I enjoyed what I could do with it so far. So, I ordered a mini pc (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C89TQ1YF/) with the intention of running home assistant’s OS so that it’s always running regardless of Windows doing what it wants with my PC.
I run other things all the time on my main pc too, plex, isponsorblocktv, tartube, things like that. Is running just home assistant on that mini pc going to be overkill? Should I just put Linux on it and run home assistant on there some other way so that I can also run some of these other things there? Will home assistant take a noticeable performance hit?
As I’m thinking of getting HA to look after my IP cameras with Frigate, I’m thinking of a mini PC wiht a PCIe Coral device installed. Would this make sense and are there others doing this i.e. have HA on a miniPC with Cora PCIe installed and Frigate on top?
