Removed.

Anybody have a strong opinion about which sub-heading this should go under in the index?

I’ve just updated my recroder wrangling guide, How to reduce your database size and extend the life of your SD card to include this very helpful addon fro HAOS users, Dbstats - Addon for database usage analytics but noticed my topic was not in the cookbook. This one is instead: How to keep your recorder database size under control
-
Should we consolidate the best bits from the various guides (there’s this one as well: Taming the Recorder) into one guide?
-
If not, why is the most comprehensive guide (IMH that’s mine
) not in the cookbook?

I’m good with you presenting it any way you want. There’s always room for more links. Just be sure to use the []() formatting BC we used up the automatic ones provided by Discourse.
As the author of the other guide… I haven’t been able to update it. Real life has been busy, and Home Assistant fell down in the priorities.
I’d be glad to have a combined (and updated) guide with all the best practices and solutions. I know most of my SQL queries are not valid anymore, and people have contributed with variations further down in that topic.

I’d be in favor of consolidating the guides and marking the other one as deprecated with a link to the one which is actively maintained.
You’re guide is not in the cookbook because someone hasn’t added it. Feel free to do so.
Anyone want to pass comment on this one or suggest a better one. Looking to add it or similar to the cookbook.
HTTPS access is missing I think from the cookbook, and the question comes up here and Discord. I’d like to have a good link in the cookbook to drop on people.
I’m thinking configuration - Integrations…
I use NC, so I cannot really comment.
True, although more topics on the subject might lead to a link explosion and it treads into networking territory, which is a tricky one to handle. Just my word of caution. Probably fine to try it and see how it goes.
I don’t want to deal with networking, but so many things require the https access, anything google, tts without NS and lots of others. When questions pop about nginx duckdns, etc.

I sent someone the link for how to keep your recorder under control noting that the posts in the cookbook should for the most part reflect the most current documentation. They questioned this note at the top of the post
Note: This guide was written for an earlier version of Home Assistant (around 2021). Since then, changes have happened, but this guide hasn’t been updated (yet). Please be aware your Home Assistant version can be slightly different, and thus you need to adapt yourself the instructions from this guide.
Looking over the post, it looks to be up to date. I see that note was added in 2022 and it was edited 8 or 9 times after that. If the post is up to date, that note should probably be removed.

It’s a Community Guide and therefore is editable.
Edit it if you feel it needs to be changed.
You appear to be up on that subject.
You can look at the past edits to ask the person that wrote that if that helps you decide.

I’m really not. I’m a data hoarder and I’m sitting on 5 years of history. I know I can edit the post but I’ve never used anything in there, in practice. I don’t want to say it’s up to date because I am unsure.
Maybe use that?
