A while ago, I set out to package the NetHomeServer in a Docker container.
The result of that is available here.

NetHomeServer
If you haven’t already, head over to my friend Stefan’s pet project NetHomeServer. It’s a clever little server that runs on several hardware as long as there is Java on the device. So, for example, if you have a Raspberry Pi laying around, you could quite easily set up your own home automation system to control your appliances.
I’ve contributed to this project and plan to do so even more.
If you are in the Java world and like to tinker with toys and code, this might be something for you too.
