How’s your stuff doing? Unplanned interruptions or achieving uptime records?
I’m currently sailing rather smooth. Most of my stuff is migrated to Komodo, there will stay some exceptions and I only have to migrate Lemmy itself I think. Of course that’s when I found a potential replacement but I’ll let it sit for a while before touching it again. Enjoying the occasional Merge Request notification from the Renovate Bot and knowing my stuff is mostly up to date.
I’m thinking about setting up some kind of Wiki for my other niche hobby (Netrunner LCG) lore as there’s a fandom one that most people avoid touching and updating but since I likely won’t have time to start writing some articles on my own as a kickoff I’m hesitant. Also not sure which wiki I’d choose as well.
Late to the party But I’ve been thinking about upgrading my proxmox and finally taking care of my backups in a more responsible manner. Just thinking about it, not actually doing anything yet :)
Pretty smooth sailing at the moment. I’ve got:
- sonarr
- radarr
- jackett
- bazarr
- transmission
- kuma uptime
- grafana
- promethius
- blackbox
- mastodon
- traefik
- authelia
- forgejo
- immich
- syncthing
All running on a 4 node raspberry pi kubernetes cluster.
Trying to smoothly orchestrate prowlarr, radarr, jellyfin, and transmission (via Proton vpn), using a big beautiful docker compose file. It’s been working OK but not without roadbumbs and tough learnings. Keep messing up directory permissions one way or another.
Next step is setting up fail2ban on my public facing jellyfin to control things a little better. Everything is hosted at home, and I don’t want to use cloud flare tunnels, are streaming video is technically not allowed in them.
If you have more good tips on securing a home server, let me know!
Also, this is all running on an ancient 2012 mac mini running Ubuntu. Slow as molasses and sometimes the fans make a noise. I should start looking into back-up solutions, at least for the configs.
Bad week for me. Tandoor had become the home of quite a lot of recipes, and well, I’m never gonna just pull a docker container again without a backup, cause I did a pull and the bastard stopped working.
So I setup Django and got started doing my own recipe server cause I was never very enthused about Tandoor, too much netflix-like Presentation bullshit and did not allow for the very simple thing I wanted, which was, a compact list of my recipes by alphabet that I can swiftly click on the one I want.
I also need to get my Python chops back cause I think there will be jobs again, soon enough.
Meanwhile, anyone got any suggestions of a better recipe app? Needs to run as a Linux server, that’s about it. I can go Tailscale if it has no security. If I get mine to something usable I’ll make it available.
Mealie is far superior to Tandoor,imho.
Bought my first raspberry pi 5, 8 gb ram version. Gonna be using it to run a jellyfin server and maybe a foundry server if it can handle both concurrently. Anyone familiar enough to know if running multiple things on one of these is wise?
Running multiple things in one host is perfectly fine. The more you have, the more complicated dependencies will become. Tool A needing PHP < 8 and tool B needing PHP 9 can be handled but is a headache.
That’s why many people are using containers, specifically Docker. Each tool brings their own dependencies that are running isolated. Not sharing dependencies is more resource intensive but easier to handle.
I’m not running the tools you mentioned but probably they list their resources requirements. I suggest you to check containers/Docker and consider using them instead of installing the tools natively.
Ah, docker is a name I’d heard hanging around the lemmy space. I looked into it a little and couldn’t figure out what its usecase was, but that makes a fair bit of sense, thanks
Burning the midnight oil on my self hosted journal app: https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app
Oh hey I just thought about setting up a journal! Maybe I’ll check it out
Definitely!
Had a productive session this weekend migrating my promtail config to grafana Alloy and setting up a syslog receiver to capture output from my cron jobs. Next up I’ll be messing with some scripts to sync my dashboard config across several instances which should be pretty neat if it works
Made some changes to my I2P router today, but otherwise all good.
Changed my family dashboard from magic mirror to a home assistant dashboard. I’m missing some cute things, but the major functions work better, and I get some options that I didn’t before.
my server has been down for one week because I’m migrating to OpenBSD but I got a weird error while installing, but yeah, everything’s fine!
Mostly everything is running smoothly. Been fighting with some zigbee integrations randomly dropping connection from Home assistant but it’s nothing too important.
Biggest issue I’ve been facing is how to make sure all my media is properly encoded so jellyfin doesn’t pin my cpu transcoding when I’m streaming to the onn boxes around my house. Debating if I need to dump the onn’s and try to spin up raspberries for each TV instead
Finally got around to dns-01 and acme containers today. Hooray LE signed wildcard lab cert.
Tried to setup a personal matrix server last night, got it to federate, next step is Matrix’s Element Call, spent too many hours trying to block the
/_synapseendpoint with Traefik because it is recommended by Matrix, no luck unfortunately.All this in hopes I can add a Music Bot to my instance or something similar.
Following the FUTO guide, but having problems with getting mailcow going… I’ll hopefully figure it out by tomorrow.
docker-ce v29 update somehow messed up my homelab so badly that I had to downgrade to v28 to restore my system.
Good to know 🫣
That was awful. Had to restore from backup.
