That aside, I'm currently contemplating whether running TrueNAS Scale for web apps is really necessary. I like the fact that I only need to click a few buttons or fill in a few fields, but on the otherhand my setup can be kept inside a docker-compose.yml
We'll never know, since I like the safety of running my apps through something like TrueNAS Scale. It feels professional

It's time for me to re-read the man page for bash. I was not aware of BASH_REMATCH, wow. It's in the first snippet on the linked page, and would save the hassle of using multiple var expansions of the %% and ## et al sort.

Oh yeah! I was unaware too! Nowadays I quickly jump to python instead of using Bash even for the simplest of scripts , but this could help creating tiny and easy to understand scripts for some integrations...

You don't seem to respect the old, venerable, well-tested adage: "once your shell script becomes too complex, switch to a real programming language like python".
Or, the zen version (formally equivalent, but with quite a different tone): "once your program becomes sufficiently simple, turn it into a beautiful shell script".

The true power of shell script is to coordinate programs. Once you find yourself altering data with the shell constructs, that's the sign to use $LISP instead.

For more complex regular expressions, you can use `sed`.

It's all a matter of context. Sometimes simple ## and %% param substitutions are the best tool for the job.
I think bash is a fantastic interactive shell and a lousy script runner.

The hate for the HomeAssistant OS is misplaced. It's just an appliance that manages its own software packages. Like for example the author could have set up Zigbee2MQTT entirely through the web GUI.

MQTT is a fantastic protocol.
I basically do the same as the author but use nutshell and its powerful pattern matching [0] as the router
For those using termux, termux widgets are exposed to Android device control so you don't need the MqttDroid app

Interesting... I didn't know about this, although I was pretty satisfied with the simplicity of MqttDroid (after I fixed a bug: https://github.com/LightJockey/MqttDroid/pull/3). Will investigate to compare.
