Years ago I had a registrar go tits up without warning, taking about 70-80 active domains for an MSP’s customers with it. I managed their email servers and DNS, which was with the registar, of course. It was a bloody nightmare to recover that situation. Because we couldn’t supply them a DNS change to prove our control of the DNS, hence ownership of the domain, we had to individually affadavit each domain. Took weeks.

I get you don’t think it’s important, but there’s plenty of sysadmins that do, with experience backing that up.

Moved to Porkbun, saving about the same. The price creep pisses me off.

I don’t agree and it’s no extra work to do it the other way. And when one or the other goes fucky, you can recover immediately.

This is the way. Never use the NS of your registrar.

If you click the HA header, there’s 5 different scripts there, each install HAOS in a different way. As a container in an LXC, as a “baremetal” LXC, as a VM, as a Pimox VM, or as a Podman container.

Blue Iris and any ONVIF compatible camera. BI has a phone app for Android and iphone that you can integrate via ngrok if you have CGNAT internet and can’t open a port directly.

It’s a little bit of money (license is cheaper via Amcrest website) and you have to run it on Windows. I use Dockurr/Windows and run it in a KVM-based docker container on a couple sites.

Very easy to set up, has motion/shape detection built in, bulletproof, features until hell won’t have it, and works with a plethora of cameras.

So there’s 5 methods in there of installing HA, not to mention having to take apart the scripts to figure out what they do in order to help you troubleshoot this.

Not sure what you expect of asking a question like this with no useful info about what you actually have in front of you.
