Thanks. I also have Blue Iris running, but on a dedicated dell optiplex (a small form factor pc, 12 cams, 950 MP/s).
I only want Home Assistant on this pc, and nothing else. Coming from an old HP Proliant with ESXi, I want something easier to rebuild. Our exchange and voip servers are moved to the cloud, and planning to migrate to windows virtual desktops.
I think I will try the following guide: Installing Home Assistant Supervised on Debian 10
