I went with the virtual appliance when I installed Home Assistant several years ago, turned out to be a great decision looking at how it's architected. I only self-host the database separately, which i've found easier to manage.
There should be a setting to reduce how long Home Assistant retains data for - I removed the limit on mine, however its possible that on newer versions they've changed the default
Hope you find a solution though - I think node red (capable of doing dashboards on its own) with something else is going to get you part way there.
I've been doing this. I'm running HA under LXD (VM) and it works.
While it works great and it was very easy to get the VM running I would rather move to something lighter like a container. About the storage I just see it growing everyday and from what I read it should be keeping for 10 days however it keeps growing. Almost 10GB for a web interface and logs from a couple of sensors, wtf?
I would be very happy with HA, really no need to move other stuff as long as things were a bit less opaque than a ready to go VM that runs 32434 daemons and containers inside it.
Curious, you might want to look into what's generating your data first. It's easy to generate data, it's harder to only keep the data that's useful.
And how do I go about that?
One logs into the VM and starts checking the files of course. Go from there.
FYI the DB isn't even that big and the total space is growing at around 100MB every 2 days.
I just don't get it.
Curious, you might want to look into what is generating your data then first. It's very easy to generate data, it's a lot harder to only generate and keep useful data.
