I have had success with a monthly reminder in my google calendar. Sometimes I skip it, but I have been updating and keeping everything nice and tidy much more frequent than I used to!
I got a Matrix server set up with conduwuit but the problem is that none of my friends are on there so I don't use it. The one friend I made the damn thing for so we could chat just started going through a bunch of personal stuff so now it won't be used for a while. FML.
I'm integrating my Mac mini (running Asahi Linux) into my server setup. It's slow going as I also have to move some data around so I can repurpose some hard drives.
Had the intention of making a hidden TOR website version for all my websites but I'm sick
Oh, sounds pretty cool, I have never looked into that.
After just about a month of hosting some things on a Raspberry Pi 4, I think it's about time to work on repurposing this mini PC that hasn't been doing much the last few years and keep growing my services.
To that end, can anyone point me to a good, thorough guide to getting going with Sonarr? I installed it, but then realized I needed to add a client and Prowlarr and I feel like I just started in the middle.
Search for trash guides and servarr. Both have websites that are detailed in how to set up all of the arrs apps in what ever fashion you want. I think both have Discord servers too.
I agree, these helped me a ton. I’m still a noob but message me if you can’t find links with what u/lemmyingly said
switched my server from i7-870 (my ex-workstation) to Pentium G6405 (got it free). switch went without a hitch, debian with a ton of docker services (jellyfin, servarr, pihole, radicale, etc.), 8 GB RAM only. although it's a quadcore to dualcore switch, no performance issues. I know there are better options out there, but I don't spend money unless I really have to.
That G6405 is actually about 25% faster overall and 50% faster per thread, so performance should be better now. Not to mention much faster RAM and IO.
Core count doesn't mean much when the CPUs are 12 years apart!
I've started to setup Authentik this weekend. My goal is to learn more about SSO and have one account for most of my selfhosted services.
Did that as well a while ago and generally it's working pretty good, some services had the possibility to migrate existing accounts to authentik even. But even though it's been pretty reliable so far I'm hesitant to migrate my more critical services behind another runtime dependency.
Currently trying to step up my game bv setting up kubernetes. Cluster is running, but I am really struggling getting the combination domain name, let's encrypt and traefik, but without a cloud load balancer, to work. I feel like I went through most tutorials available, but it seems each one is missing a crucial part. Gonna invest some more hours today...
Check out MetalLB for a local Loadbalancer
Without supported loadbalancer Kubernetes is no fun / not doable in my opinion.
For Hetzner for example, there are some recipes to be found to use an LB and also volumes.
I've stepped back to docker compose with a traefik proxy which takes labels from the containers to decide where to route what.
Highly recommended!
Spring break so nothing this weekend. I need to figure out backups and then common passwords/logins for my family.
I want to host a personal dashboard with weather forecast and upcoming appointments. I couldn’t find anything that fits my needs so now I‘m building my own.
Cool! Home Assistant has it and I can imagine Nextcloud as well but those are overkill just for that.
hosting everything as usual sir
I run everything off my gaming rig, so maintenance is kinda already a part of it.
I just don't really look forward to the day I need to reinstall :p
I've been hosting Emby forever (and the requisite software to acquire content 😉).
Recently I added Nextcloud to facilitate cutting several Google products out of my life. Combined with a few FOSS apps, it's currently doing the job of Drive (storage) and Keep (notes), and I'm planning to move my contacts and calendar this week.
I'm doing that as well (mostly done except some tinkering and optimizations). It's my third time setting up nextcloud, but this time it's for real.
Added extra disks to TrueNAS, got Seafile up and running in a Proxmox VM. Now I'm about to start fiddling with SAS to 4x Sata to get the front drive bays working. Keepin' busy!
a Plex server.
Just found Redirecterr and set that up, but that’s just for me since no one else seems to use Overseerr.
Purchased a new to me EOL enterprise switch that will enable me to expand my network while replacing existing hardware that is limited. It also enables me to move to 10G networking woot!
