Slightly off-topic perhaps. For my use case (both short-term and long-term storage of sensors and metrics of a small Home Assistant instance) it probably doesn't matter, but what could someone recommend? ClickHouse looks kind of neat and it doesn't appear to be difficult to admin.
At the company I work at we manage a lot of historical data with Timescale, but we have also had good results with vanilla PostgreSQL for smaller time-series-data-sets. If you are already comfortable with Postgres this might be worth a look.
If you like standard SQL-y type queries, timescaledv itself is a good option. Influx is another option but it has a steeper learning curve and imo it doesn't pay off
