It’s Sunday somewhere already so why wait?
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’ll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn’t want to forget the post again.
Installed grocy on a server and magic mirror on a pi. Now we can track all the daily tasks of life which makes my wife happy
I have setup a immich docker container and am slowly moving users and images from google photos.
Replacing Google Photos is still on my to-do list. How do you like Immich so far? Did you compare it to any alternatives?
Interested in this too - immich gets so much viral hype I’m a little suspicious of it
I set it up a couple weeks ago. It’s alright; facial recognition works pretty well, the files are easy to manage, and setup was pretty straightforward (using docker).
Searching for images works fairly well, as long as you’re searching for content and not text. Searching ‘horse’ for example does a pretty good job showing you your pictures of horses, but often misses images containing the word horse. Not always, but it’s noticeable to me.
The mobile apps work well too; syncing files in the background as they appear, optionally creating albums based on folders. Two things I find missing though are the ability to edit faces/people in an image (you’ve gotta do that from a browser), and the ability to see what albums an image is in and quickly navigate to one.
It’s a developing project that’s well on it’s way. A good choice imo.
I’ve been trying to learn K8s and more recently the Gateway API. The struggles are that most Helm charts don’t know Gateway (most are barely Ingressroute) and I’m trying to find a solution to one service affecting the other gateways.when a service cannot find a pod, the httproute fails and when one route fails, the ingress fails. It’s a weird cascading problem.
Right now, I’m considering adding a secondary service to each gateway that resolves to a static error page. I haven’t looked into it yet; it cane to me in the brief moment of clarity before I fell asleep last night.
Also, I may be doing everything wrong, but I am learning and learning is fun.
Today I’m experimenting with Ansible. Wanna try setting up a Docker hosted RSS reader with it. Hopefully will write up controls for my whole Docker server with Ansible once I’m more familiar.
Slowly building up my self hosted test env in a VM on my gaming PC.
Most recently playing with homepage so I don’t have to remember as many sub domains.
Eventually I will get the *arr stack going so my jellyseerr instance is more automated.
I’m an idiot so it took me about 3 frustrating years to get all the docker containers working. Worth it every day
My job let me buy a bunch of Pis to set up a cluster for a demo so I’m having a lot of fun
Pis
🤔
It’s for a streaming service.
Does this service provide the proper end point for the stream?
What kind of cluster, kubernetes?
Nothing so fancy. Just some postgres machines to show off different recovery modes
Cool enough!
I setup a VPN for my moms Synology so I can request and download media for her through my local qbit instance and using Radarr/Sonarr to move the files over.
I have a problem where both arrs don’t auto start when I power up the debian VM in Proxmox even though the daemon is running and restart policy is set to always…
She doesn’t make a lot of requests so I just go and start them manually but I would eventually like to get it fixed…
I’ve gotten a CalDAV server, audiobookshelf, and selfhosted obsidian live sync running on my laptop while I wait for movers to bring my shit to my house. Then gotta migrate it all across to my mini PC afterwards. Doing a modular NixOS setup to replace/complement what I used to have running on proxmox.
Once everything is on a dedicated machine I’m going to make a nice little homepage for it, inspired by a previous thread here.
I’m starting to see mastodon users on my tiny pixelfed server. It’s such a good feeling.
On the sad side, my Lemmy update went south and I had to remove it off my setup. Still looking for a good replacement for max two users. Something dirt simple like GoToSocial turned out to be.
I had a similar problem with Lemmy, UT’s not optimized for small instances.
I went with PieFed und am very happy with it.
What’s UT? Was about to run Lemmy myself
Auto correct changed “it’s” to UT’s.
You need kind of a beefy server which is not worth it for one or two people. That is why I installed PieFed instead which does the same but plays nicer on a small VPS with fewer resources.
Weird, I’ve heard exactly the opposite, some people are running Lemmy on a dual core. Just get a drive big enough if you plan to follow many communities. Guess I’ll try anyways
Pyfedi is what you want.
I tried getting it setup but it didn’t want to work on my system. The docker container didn’t work with some errors and the docs seem like they need a bit of work. I love piefed, but if it takes more than a weekend to setup then I personally don’t have enough time.
Great software though.
I got it to work then moved it to another server and couldn’t. So I get that.
If I can figure out how I setup lemmy would you want to know?
Sure! Truthfully, unless it’s dead simple I’m going to let others host.
I’ve been looking into airtable alternatives. Came across teable, which I liked, but it doesn’t seem production ready. 🤔
any you did like? nocodb?
Yeah, i did tbh. It’s just that the SSO feature is behind the paywall. If it wasnt, i’d easily go with it.
Teable is promissing sso for the community users.
k. thanks. i see automations are enterprise features. so i think this will end up the same mess as nocodb. their business models are outdated.
I finally set up Joplin server. It is a revelation after too long using Syncthing to sync databases. I wasn’t able to use Joplin on Android anymore- the sync to file system had gotten too slow. Now everything syncs pretty much instantly!
Currently trying to figure out how to create and maintain an internal CA in order to enable pod to pod TLS communication, while using letsencrypt for my public ingresses.
I’m still using Docker Rootless, which I want to change for Podman since Rootless is second-class for Docker, but I haven’t been able to read the documentation enough to understand Podman Quadlets to migrate my compose files, and there are some incompatible configurations so even if using
podlet
, I have to edit some things manually.I also want to migrate to MicroOS if possible in my server, but I’m still testing things in a VM to understand enough and the cost-benefit u.u
Half finished projects
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Scripting enlarging 2400 10x10 png files to 512x512 Stable Diffusion generated images that look like high resolution cityscapes in the style of Salvador Dali. I can’t get the API to spit out a single image.
