<ToDo>

ioBroker will be installed directly on top of the operating system (preferable linux) without additional logic layers.

  • Pro's

    • A quite easy setup if you already have the operating system running

    • Except the operating system and ioBroker, no additional knowledge needed to maintain the system

  • Con's

    • Not as flexible as visualisation

    • All processes and additional applications run on the same System

    • Security, all applications share the same host in case one is Vulnerable all services/applications are affected
