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

I've been learning bash and working on scripts to automate stuff in my homelab. It's been a lot of fun. I'm currently working on a script that will rename the movies and TV shows I rip from my DVD collection.
The script queries the tmdb api, presents me with a mwnu of matches if there's multiple matches, renames the media files according to jellyfin spec, and then places them in the proper folders to be indexed by Jellyfin and Kodi.

I've finally powered on a 15 year old machine to run a bot I've been writing. The thing is slow as dirt and stuck behind a flakey power line network, but it's working. I got to write my first systemd service definition, which is kind of cool.

I've just moved and I'm setting up my machines. NIC died in my DIY router just before the move so I'm upgrading to 2.5/10 Gbps at the same time.

More incus:
- mounting persistent storage into containers (cheating by exporting NFS from my proxmox zfs into the incus host.
- wrote a pruning backup script for containers, runs daily
- passed through hardware (quicksync) into jellyfin container (it works!)
- launched an OCI container (docker home assistant) natively in incus (this is a game-changer!)
Next:
- build 2nd incus node
- move all containers from proxmox to incus
- decom proxmox
- setup Debian with NFS export

Bash variables are really, really fun.

This week I finally managed to route torrent traffic through a VPS that was sitting around gathering dust. I am behind CGNAT so was taking me 6 weeks to do the kind of traffic I do in a day now. I couldn't be more chuffed.

What ratio are you at with your Linux ISOs *wink.

Finally switched from plex to jellyfin, seems to be ok so far. Needed to make some small scripts for metadata management but it's running smoothly. Finally decided I'm hosting enough software with user accounts that I've made an authentik instance for SSO with each (ofc jellyfin first)

Oh, I've just been tinkering around with LangFlow specifically as a news aggregator.
The flow: https://i.imgur.com/5HqznQm.png
Then asking AI to go get me some news: https://i.imgur.com/ltZPBwC.png
Still needs a little tinkering, but I really have a blast with automation platforms like N8N, Flowise, Gotify, DopplerTask, & Kestra.
Afterwards, I smoked a small bowl and worked on a couple songs I have in the works.
HBU?

The computer I'm using currently, I set the BIOS in 2012. WHen I built it, I stuffed every last piece of cutting edge tech of the time into it. Dual CPU, SLI, started with 64gb ram then later on maxed the board out at 128gb. It's still a workhorse tho. It's one of the three I use all the time for music production, selfhosting etc.

My radarr instances won't download anything. It will search and find compatible torrents, but then it just spins and spins, nothing ever moves to the queue. If I refresh its like nothing happened at all.
I recently reorganized the root files to separate HD/UHD content so that I can run 2 instances for Overseerr requests, then this issue started. I had to reset the root folders and now there's also a root folder error about collections that I can't resolve either... got me thinking about doing a full reinstall.

Scrubbing a little demo project I made featuring a web app behind oauth2-proxy leveraging keycloak as local idp with social login. It also uses a devcontainer config for development. The demo app uses the Litestar framework (fka starlite, in Python) because I was interested, but it's hardly the focus. Still gotta put caddy in front of it all for easy SSL. Oh, and clean up all the default secrets I've strewn about with appropriate secret management.
All of it is via rootless podman and declarative configuration.
Think I might have to create my own Litestar RBAC plugin that leverages the oauth headers provided by the proxy.
It has been a minute since I worked daily in this space, so it has been good to dust off the cobwebs.

I've been testing out immutable distros, in this case openSUSE Aeon (laptop) and openSUSE MicroOS (server).
I set up Forgejo and runners are working, all in podman. I'm about to take the plunge and convert everything on my NAS to podman, which is in preparation for installing MicroOS on it (upgrade from Leap).
I also installed MicroOS on a VPS, which was a pain because my VPS provider doesn't have images for it, and I'd have to go through support to get it added. Instead, I found a workaround, which is pretty amazing that it works:
- Install Alpine Linux (in my case I needed to provision something else first and mount an ISO to install Alpine, which was annoying)
- Download MicroOS image on VPS (not ISO, qcow image)
- Write image to the disk, overwriting the current OS (qemu-img command IIRC)
- Reboot (first boot takes longer since it's expanding the disk and whatnot)
The nice thing is that cloud-init works, so my keys set up in step 1 still work with the new OS. It's not the most convenient way to set things up, but it's about the same amount of time as asking them for an ISO.
Anyway, now it's the relatively time consuming task of moving everything from my other VPS over, but I'll do it properly this time with podman containers. I had an ulterior motive here as well, I'm moving from x86 to ARM, which reduces cost somewhat and it can also function as a test bed of sorts for ARM versions of things I'm working on.
So far I'm liking it, especially since it forces me to use containers for everything. We'll see in a month or two how I like maintaining it. It's supposed to be super low effort, since updates are installed in the background and applied on reboot.

Firing up my NAS and Arrs. My Aoostar WTR Pro and all the components arrived, it’s all setup, and I swapped out the fan for a larger one to get more airflow into the nvme drive area since I live in a hot climate.
Spending the day configuring a vpn, sab, and qbit. Already learning a lot!

I really need to figure out how to get Jellyfin to use SSL certs and assigning a domain to the instance.

Ann reason you choose authenik? There are a nmber of options and I'm not sure why to choose one over the other.

The root folder error for collections. I think I know this one. You need to go into every movie and update the filepath to the use the new root folder. Radarr isn't smart enough to do that automatically for you. Though you'd think they'd have $rootfolder as a var, but no.

Do you have a revese proxy setup?

Email...
My wife really wants to further de-google, this means moving custom domains off gsute.Do I move to proton/tuta or go back to self hosting email again like I did for years until about 2010?
If I self host, do I do it at home or on the server that runs my lemmy instance?
