Great job!

@cowboysdude thank you. It is quite a ride .
-
@cornusandu It is a fun ride though :)
-
@cowboysdude Ohhh yeahhh :) a lot of head scratching and a bit of swearing. I reinstalled about 20 times . But finally got it working smoothly.

@cowboysdude Super cool community. Any advice on raspberry power? Should I cut electricity 12 hours a night with a smart plug? Or run it 24/7? Which is better for longer life?

In my opinion, I would leave it running. As long as you keep the temp of the Pi somewhere in the neighborhood of 40°C. Personally, I prefer that to 365 unnecessary boots a year.

@cornusandu I leave mine running all the time… have had no issues after a year so far :)
-
@cornusandu if you just turn off the electricity is not that good for the hardware in terms durability, but if you create a shut down routine e.g. 5min before, than it should be fine.

@Mykle1 He is running at a stable 65 Celsius

I mounted back the fan. Now is down to 38.5 Celsius
