Hi, I'm a HA and HK user personally, and it doesn't at all have to be an 'either-or' scenario.

First, and foremost, RatGDO works exceptionally well with HK with the native homekit firmware: https://github.com/ratgdo/homekit-ratgdo. It's rock solid and responsive, and I've been using the original RatGDO device since the whole API fiasco years ago.

Second, HA (or alternatively Homebridge), can both be used to connect non-homekit devices into the homekit ecosystem. That was my primary use-case of HA. For example, our hodge-podge collection of Govee light strips, Doorbell, Tuya switches, and Lifx bulbs are all in our Home apps. The kids + spouse don't know any different, it's all just in Home and responds to 'hey siri', including the garage.. There's various plugins for many devices, and with the homekit addon, you just pipe all your devices right into HK.

Then, with HA, you get the added bonus of your own Dashboard. For example, I use this to see what's playing on the various screens around the house. You can also do more complex automations, which can include services you don't hook into HK like your kids minecraft server, etc.

The point being, you don't have to choose one or the other, HA was incredibly useful for me to get stuff INTO homekit, and for the family that might be all they interact with. While you on the backend get more control tothen tinker with the automations, etc.

Took a look and looks great!

How do I view (and block) instances?

In Voyager I can long press on them from the post. I don’t see the instances in the Arctic posts and my instance blocks aren’t showing up in filters/account blocks for my account.

Thanks for this, I have a similar setup and looking to migrate from Kavita -> Komga + iPad reader. For Paperback, does syncing read progress actually work to/from Komga? In the Komga instructions for syncing it directs me to install a custom Paperback tracker that only works for v.0.7 (and Paperback is currently v.0.8).

Ha yes, once! I just used Balena Etcher and it worked exactly as expected.

Happy to help! There’s plenty of other options too (e.g., SSD) as folks mentioned, but this works well out of the box with no additional hardware. SD has been absolutely fine for my use (Pi-Hole), while still requiring maximum uptime so the family doesn’t riot if the internet is out.

Another option is to use Image File Utilities on the Pi to create an image backup. You can use cron + a bash script to create incremental backups using the tool (e.g., take a 'fresh' backup each month, with daily incremental backups in between). I mount a network 'backup' drive (a local NAS, but you could use anything) to save the image to so I can actually access it. Then, just use balena etcher to flash the backup iso in the event of a failure.

Check out Tranga as a direct replacement to Kaizoku. Works nicely with Komga and/or Kavita as a reader. Add Komf to the mix for metadata management, nice covers, etc.

On iOS Paperback works as a free reader that can sync with Komga/Kavita

As OP mentioned this setup kind if like Plex but for Manga
