Like 1 hour every two months or so, I just run an ansible playbook and check everything is working ok

I worked in the nightshitf for almost 2 years and can confirm this is so true.

Syncthing, Gitea, jellyfin (with arr stack), audiobookshelf, Kavita.

After 200hrs in my SEK2 run, I don't think there is a way to return to vanilla. I'm even thinking of doing another run after finishing this one.

At first I thought the progression takes too long and the logistics were complicate but after some planning and structure is really fun to solve the puzzles and see how everything works after putting the effort.

Has anyone played in multiplayer? I think it would be fun to plan production projects in group haha but none of my friends like factorio.

I perform a backup once a week from my main desktop to a HDD, then once a month I copy important data/files from all nodes (proxmox, rpi's and main desktop) to 2 "cold" unplugged HDD that's the only time I connect them. I do all of that using rsync with backup.sh and coldbackup.sh

I use syncthing for notes across mobile/desktop/notebook, for that and other important files the backup goes to Google Drive or MEGA (besides the offline backup).

I want to try S3 Glacier since is cheaper for cloud backup... has anyone tried?

Can we get a factorio server?

I'm using my RPi4 4gb to run a home media server, jellyfin and *arr stack all containerized and automated. Also syncthing for obsidian. Works perfectly

Nice rice! How does it feels void linux?

What a good timing, I was looking for a YT music replacement.

Navidrome seems like a good choice but is exactly what you're are saying "classic media player with a webUI". I like the convenience of YT music recommendations and all the music available even the music I don't usually listen to. I would need a much bigger music library or a way to facilitate the music discovery and automate the downloads.

I know there's is Lidarr to automatically download music but I read some people saying music naming scheme is a mess. So anybody has successfully replaced Spotify or YT music with Navidrome or similar? How is your setup?

Maybe it's hard at the beginning but as you keep doing it becomes easier. If you feel overwhelmed take a break for a few days and try again later. I think we all have been there and hit a wall. Self host, open source and Linux communities are friendly you can ask for help and find someone willing to help you, so don't be afraid to ask for help (as I was before). Just take small steps.

Don't give up. Have fun.

Make sure my proxmox desktop build can do GPU passthrough.

I use podman auto-update command.

I'd also like to see what others use
