Home lab & self-hosting
Run your media, home automation, storage and self-hosted apps on a Mac you own.
The Self-hosting and Home Automation presets bring media servers, downloads, Home Assistant, Zigbee, cameras, IoT, storage / NAS and dozens of self-hosted apps into one sidebar; with backups, the macOS firewall, the Malware Audit and monitoring so your home lab is actually safe to expose.
Home Assistant works with FrontierStack, not beside it (beta). Connect it with a long-lived token and any HA entity becomes a monitored, alerting sensor; the rack temperature, a leak sensor under the floor, a door contact, a UPS load, a Modbus energy meter. Those are exactly the devices that have no IP address to ping, so HA speaks their Zigbee, Z-Wave and Bluetooth protocols and FrontierStack watches the readings. It is read-only by design: it can see your home, never switch it. You can also import the network devices HA already tracks straight into Device Discovery, keeping the names you gave them there.
Services we install or monitor for this
This preset shows 410 services in 25 categories. FrontierStack can install, connect or monitor them for this job.
