I will set up home assistant with docker on your home server remotely
Self Hosting Automation and Private AI, Docker, n8n and more
About this Gig
Get a clean, reliable Home Assistant setup on your own hardware fully remote, wherever you are.
WHAT YOU NEED (check before ordering)
A device to run it on: mini PC, NAS, Raspberry Pi or home server. Plus either temporary SSH access, or 30 minutes with me in chat if you prefer to click along. No hardware yet? Message me first.
WHAT YOU GET
- Home Assistant installed, updated and running (Docker or HAOS)
- Your devices actually paired and working: lights, plugs, sensors, climate, cameras
- A dashboard your family can use, not a raw list of entities
- Standard: secure remote access with SSL, automated backups, automations, written docs
- Premium: Zigbee2MQTT/MQTT broker, custom dashboards, energy monitoring, 14 days support
WHY PICK ME WITH NO REVIEWS YET
Because of what I am: Home Assistant runs in my own home on the same stack I set up for you, and I am a trained electrician, so I understand your devices, wiring and protocols better than most IT people. Everything documented, nothing left as a black box. Basic is priced as a small first job on purpose.

FAQ
Which hardware do you recommend?
A used mini PC (from ~$100) beats a Raspberry Pi for smooth performance. Tell me your budget and devices and I'll recommend something realistic before you order.
Can you set up Zigbee/Z-Wave remotely?
Yes - you plug the stick in, I configure everything (Zigbee2MQTT/ZHA) and guide you through pairing your devices in chat.
My existing Home Assistant is broken. Can you fix it?
Yes - check my server debugging gig for fixes, or order Standard here and I'll rebuild it cleanly with your config migrated.
Is remote access safe?
I set it up properly: valid SSL, strong auth, no open ports beyond what's needed. Optionally via Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale.
Do you offer ongoing care?
Yes - message me about monthly maintenance: updates, backups checked, monitoring.
You have no reviews yet. Why should I risk it?
Fair question. Basic is small on purpose, Fiverr holds your payment until you accept, and a revision is included. Send me your device list before you order: within a few replies you will see whether I know your gear. That is a better test than a star count.
Do I have to open my home network to the internet?
No. Basic stays purely local, inside your own network. If you want access from outside later, Standard adds it properly: valid SSL, strong authentication, no ports opened beyond what is needed, optionally via Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale. Your call, not a default.
