Introducing an open-source, auto-configured home automation system based on Home Assistant. The system sets up a robust, secure infrastructure in minutes, ensuring top-notch security and privacy.

It’s user-friendly, cost-effective (around $50), and offers out-of-the-box support for a broad range of IoT devices including ZigBee, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

The project is available on GitHub: https://github.com/lucadibello/zerotrust-your-home

    Is it a hard requirement that it run it on a device that’s running armbian? If so, could it run on a device like the innovato Quadra rather than a raspberry pi like device? If not, could it just be run on any device that’s running a Debian based OS?

    Does it have to use bind9? What if I prefer to use freeipa as my dns server?

    It mentions that I don’t have to use aws s3 for the storage solution for backups, but I don’t see instructions on how to swap in a different solution in its place in the instructions.

    What if I already have a fully running home assistant with zigbee and zwave devices with my own mqtt broker? Do I have switch to using the home assistant services that this device is running?

      My project has been specifically developed and tested on Armbian, a community-maintained open-source Debian-based distro. Originally, I planned to include Raspbian, but due to time constraints from my Master’s studies, this has not yet been possible. The configuration script is designed for Debian-based systems and, while untested, should work on others.

      For the DNS setup, you’re free to choose any system you’re comfortable with. If you opt for an alternative to my default setup, consider the following to maintain a high security level:

      •	Implement DNSSEC.
•	Utilize virtualization, like Docker, for isolation.
•	Ensure a robust configuration of iptables for firewall security.
•	Connect your container to the required Docker networks.

      As for backups, my system primarily uses cloud storage, but local storage options are viable too. You’ll need to adjust the docker-compose file accordingly. I’ve included a link to the relevant official documentation in the README for guidance.
