website-backend

Just a small Symfony application as API for the website-frontend repo. It provides API endpoints for:

• increment value of sensor.website_visitors (which is a Home Assistant entity)
• retrieve current value of sensor.website_visitors for the fancy visitor counter on my website
• retrieve current value of sensor.k8s_cluster_plug to display the current power consumption of my Kubernetes Raspberry cluster
• total number of Home Assistant entities and devices

The main reason this backend exists is to provide a realtime API of the above data on my website. Because my Home Assistant is not behind the public ingress, the website won't have access to the needed data.

Platform: ARM

As this Docker Image is primary used on my Raspberries, the base image is arm64v8/php:8.1-apache.

Docker

docker pull smhagit/website-backend

This image is built with GitHub Actions via self-hosted runner on an arm64 Raspberry Pi.
