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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Evening is going ok, but noticed the screen saver on jellyfin isn’t showing up lately… need to investigate…
Also, watched the latest “Explaining Computers” episode today.
One of my drives crippled itself a few days back, not sure what caused it. Wasn’t able to be resolved without a host restart which was unfortunate. SMART isn’t failing and has been working fine, so I’m chalking it down to a weird Proxmox bug or something.
For sure expected I was going to need to do a rollback on an entire drive after that restart though. Still may have to if it reoccurs.
I dug out an old laptop and installed Yunohost on it. I was so excited until I discovered that my ISP uses CGNAT. I’m trying to figure out what I want to do next.
I am looking at using headscale or just paying the US$10/month for a static public IP from my ISP. If I go with headscale, then it appears that I wouldn’t need Yunohost.
I’m a newb at this so there’s a lot I don’t know yet.
My ISP uses CGNAT but I can ask for a dynamic IP address for free. I sent them an email and got a reply in less than a week. I can also pay extra like 2.50€ per month or something for a fixed IP. I found that quite reasonable.
I’m thinking getting a static public IP might just be the easiest way to go. I have a pretty good ISP. Aside from sticking all the customers behind CGNAT.
Namecheap, and I guess other registrars too, has an API that you can call from your server to update your IP address in their DNS. It’s super easy. No need to pay for a static IP address. At least in my case ei already use my domain for other things.
And since when is the easiest way the funnest way? :P
I don’t understand how that’d work but I’ll look into it. Thanks for the info!
Basically it’s a URL that you call with curl. You can set up a crown job to call every day or as often as you need. The URL contains the domain name or subdomain, you dynamic public IP (not CNAT), and the API token. This way you Domain always points to your dynamic IP.
I think I get it. I’ll look into after I get home from work today.
You can rent a cheap VServer as well and use its static IP to forward traffic. Easiest for it would be SSH reverse tunnel. Or you could VPN it with your homelab (connection established from within your homelab).
If you don’t want to rely on an external service you could as well establish a VPN server within your homelab and use IPv6 to connect to it, although the disadvantage would be, that if you’re trying to connect from IPv4 networks ‘outside’ that wouldn’t work.
Just listing some options to research. Welcome to the hobby, have fun 🤗
I’d rather not rely on an external service if possible. I’m just starting to read up on doing the whole VPN thing.
I appreciate your response and will keep your suggestions in mind as I move forward.
Certainly not my homelab as my server isn’t booting since a few weeks ago and I didn’t fix it yet…
Oh no!
