Solarpunks can have a little downtime, as a treat

What’s up, what’s down and what are you not sure about?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I finally finished my first iteration of my Minilab including a very smooth migration from the old server yesterday so I can go to the service side of things again. I plan to get some kind of selfhosters VPN for external access to stuff that's not exposed to the internet, I'll have to investigate which one.

Finished my 10" rack (for now) (lemmy.nocturnal.garden)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.nocturnal.garden/post/74770

Been planning to migrate from my Supermicro monolith server for a while and finally finished the migration. Red thing is opnsense on an APU engine, Lenovos run a proxmox cluster, below is a mini PC with attached JBOD running TrueNAS.

Next step is to get another shelf for my Raspi and openDTU.

Wait, I thought those were called spaces. Have I been calling them wrong all the time?

[-] tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden 10 points 2 months ago

I'm not sure about that. Sometimes it's more about properly applying libraries. Thinking of database handling or cryptography

Make sure to not check in secrets in plaintext. git crypt is one way to encrypt secrets before checking them in.

Sorry, English is not my first language, bit I thought the post is somewhat clear?

I didn't forget a word, maybe a comma - in the given context, the meaning is "Would you keep your opinion for yourself if it's something you care about?" as the post I replied to suggested exactly that.

Would you if it's something you care about and want to be vocal about? I'd rather know that she's full of shit and now out of the whole thing than supporting someone who spews against trans people on a secret identity.

Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? (lemmy.nocturnal.garden)

Your CPU should be perfectly capable of that. I ran Proxmox with some VMs and containers on an i5-2400 with 16GB RAM just fine.

You could run on bare Debian as well but virtualization will give you more flexibility. If you get a Zigbee Dongle or the like, you can pass it through to the VM Home Assistant is running in.

I don't know MergeFS but usually the recommendation is ZFS.

I know for many of us every day is selfhosting day, but I liked the alliteration. Or do you have fixed dates for maintenance and tinkering?

This post is proudly sent from my very own Lemmy instance that runs at my homeserver since about ten days. So far, it's been a very nice endeavor.

Cool! Thought it's like alternative.to but it's actually finding free instances of Etherpad, Jitsu etc.

Denke, zwei drei Sätze zu jedem Eintrag wären relativ hilfreich. So ist es einfach eine lange Liste ohne Einblick was was ist.

That's cool! I've always had the idea of a small k3s cluster on old phones with postmarketOS. I guess it doesn't work with older phones which don't have the latest Android Version but given the homelab trend generally goes towards small, low power devices, this could continue the trend with super small and low power phones. Probably in 2 years when current gen phones rotate out of company leasing contracts?

I think there's several open source rss-to-lemmy bots already so I think there's not much need for another one. If you want to do it for experience go ahead but not sure it's necessary.

Also, be careful with how often the bot posts etc. Filling inactive communities with botposts usually does not help with actual user activity.

If you find one, keep up updated! It's one of the things where you really need a critical mass already for it to be useful so it's hard to kick off.
