Hi everyone
I have (probably a stupid) question about monitoring Inverters with RPi. I am following the install from https://community.home-assistant.io/t/programmatically-read-data-from-your-solar-inverter-voltronic-axpert-mppsolar-pip-voltacon-effekta-etc-and-interface-with-home-assistant-via-mqtt-works-with-rs232-usb/119053/17. My issue is, I don't have a serial port on my inverter (Axper 3kVa). I only have a USB that looks like the printer cables.
Is there a way to determine what the port is I need to be able to monitor my inverter? I need to put that in config.yaml for the docker containers.

oh, this is for linux hosts
I'm wondering if it will apply to ESXi hosts, as well
Currently, if you want to pass a GeForce GPU to a VM on ESXi, you have to set some flags on the VM to hide the fact that it's a VM from the guest OS
Otherwise, Nvidia's drivers will balk when you try to install them in the guest OS
dusky plank

subtle pasture
No... Nvidia things...
Nvidia is intentionally nerfing GeForce cards in specific scenarios
Just like you only get 2 transcode streams on GeForce cards, or (until recently) had fixed PCIe BAR space on GeForce cards
Where as Quadro cards have always fully supported pass-through to any VM, let you transcode as many streams as the hardware can handle, and have had flexible PCIe BAR space support since 2006 (Tesla architecture)

I cba spending a fortune on a good NAS.
Freenas in a suitable sized box
You can get a nice little box fairly cheap

The software isn't the problem. I was going to go with TrueNAS SCALE, at atx's recommendation. It's putting together the hardware and multiple disks that's gonna cost me.

If you know any raccoons, thry can normaally get stuff at discount prices

Ideally, I want something capable of transcoding video too (preferably 4k for future-proofing) but still low power usage.

You would need a modern igpu then, skylake or newer
Or like a nV card
Quadro 2000 for example, none of them are cheap though
deft pewter
Yeah, that's the problem ๐

Trancoding 4K is almost better to have 2 copies tbh. 4k and non 4k to save transcoding 4k
deft pewter
Makes sense
We usually stream to the Fire 4K anyway, so I don't think I have to transcode. Just figured it'd be sensible to be able to.

Sounds like a solid plan
What can your nuc do?
You could run dockers on that and share its igpu
And just have a basic nas
deft pewter
It's only got a Celeron, so it won't handle much ๐

my nas celeron still sits comfortable with ha
deft pewter
Yes, HA works fine. I don't want to try media transcoding on it ๐
winter wren
for what media transcode?
deft pewter
Plex stuff
winter wren
uh...sounds nice
never tried that
i see what i download...either 1080 or uhd
maybe i can try to transcode m.a.s.h. to uhd :))
deft pewter
But why? You transcode down, not up...
This isn't CSI, you can't just enhance to add missing quality.
deft pewter
If you have a 4k video but you want to view it on something that can't handle 4k, you transcode it down to something like 1080p or 720p.
Or maybe the video type isn't compatible, so you transcode to a different video type that your device can understand.
winter wren
did only once to view a movie on nokia 5800 express music :)))
everything should be compatible...else flies out of window
my tv understands 4k..although not the fastest and brightest model....and nas has a 5m hdmi cable to deliver 4k to tv

im looking for a server, with home assistant and a plex server. Should i buy a NUC or a dell precision 3430 i7-8700
