What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread
-
Cool! Which installation method did you use?

I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.
What does biweekly mean to you? Twice a week, or once every two weeks? If it's the latter, I prefer to use fortnightly, since it's not ambiguous.
I mean every other week. I wasn't aware of the other interpretation, but I think in combination with "The Sunday thread" it's unambiguous?
I have never heard fortnightly, but then I'm not a native speaker. Is that commonly used?

I did manual docker. I host some other things as well, so running it through nginx proxy manager that I already had set up.
I also planned to do the same (bare nginx instead of NPM but otherwise the same). Did you just remove the nginx container from docker compose and use the same arguments in NPM or do you double-reverseproxy or something else?

Yeah, nobody other than Brits use fortnightly anymore.

Pihole 6 broke my DNS (dnsmasq), and since I had a fw rule in opnsense to only use pihole's DNS, and deny public DNS access, it was an early rise for me
Unbound broke on both of mine day one of v6 and I’ve still not gone and fixed it. Sigh.

How exactly does stuff get broken?
Never rly had a problem bumping up the version in docker. The only issue has been the playstore version taking longer to push updates sometimes for the mobile apps.A few versions ago I upgraded it and some default port configs changed rendering it unusable. Since my upgrades are a docker command, I had to go hunt down the error message. It didn't take long, but it def broke the setup.

Almost forgot before going to bed but I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.
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.
ITT: lots of busted pihole v6 updates
Finally got started with Grafana, Prometheus and Meshtastic.

Short answer, yes I removed the nginx container from the lemmy compose file. I followed this guide if it helps: https://www.reddit.com/r/nginxproxymanager/comments/1485y0d/getting_lemmy_running_with_a_separate_nginx_proxy/

Immich. Wanted to exclusively use the external libraries features in read only.
Set it up once in its own Proxmox LXC under Docker. Set it up all properly started scanning my entire library. And when I woke up again it had crashed and I couldn't recover it.
Started over the following morning and only gave it access to 2024 instead of everything. And it filled up to 30gb/40gb I gave it with thumbnails and files and such. Guess it crashed the other day because it took up too much room.
Guess I'll start over again, and ensure all the config files and thumbnails are stored on my NAS so they can take up the space they need to without overloading the main (small SSD) on my server.

For no 2, in k8s, you can use MetalLB. Then the service will be of type LoadBalancer and you won’t have to create an ingress.
Good suggestion actually, i’ll head back to MetalLB docs. Thanks !

Did you check Mint recently? If it's been a while, it could also be dust buildup at the fan.
Its only been a few weeks, but I should give it a good blowout regardless.

I upgraded immich without breaking everything. That's always reason to celebrate.
I’m running the Immich Flatpak specifically for this reason. It’s always one version out of date but always self updates without issues

I just got cactus comments working on my writefreely blog. Cactus comments needs matrix, so I got matrix with element set up. It was an incredibly frustrating journey of learning, but it turns out the final bit wasn't too complicated. I'm running on TruNas, which I hear you shouldn't do, but it's too late haha.
I also got the whatsapp bridge set up, but it doesn't look like matrix supports disappearing messages, so I left some rooms it created b/c one of the larger groups easily took up a gig of storage before disappearing messages was turned on.
Anyway, writefreely has federated cactus comments that you can currently only sign in with a matrix account lol. I can try and change that later. I host the photos with picsur.
I think that I need to collect my notes and memories and put it into a blog post, but I don't really want to turn my blog (if I even keep up with it) into a blog about how to self host a blog.
In hindsight, I don't think the comments were worth it, but whatever.

I've had two failed harddrives in the last month. Not sure if bad batch or what. Thankfully the order these were on only were the two drives so may not see more. They are under warranty but it's still a pain!
Otherwise I'm enjoying Mealie lately for my recipes. Kinda nice having them all in one place but accessible by anyone in the house.
I found Mealie to be a bit bloated and not fitting my needs too well. I moved to KitchenOwl. Small project but I love it.

Had a hard drive fail my main zfs array. First time I have experienced a disk failure so it was a bit worrying. Thankfully I had added an additional drive to expand the array so I was able to quickly rebuild to that drive. Currently shopping for a replacement. From now on I think I will keep a cold spare just in case this happens again. I just wish hard drives would stop increasing in price.
You save some money by buying recertified drives from Serverpartdeals.

I plan on setting up the *arr suite and getting rid of Netflix, Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime and Disney+

I'm currently looking to connect an NVMe SSD to a Pi 4 I have in a differences location to finally have proper 3-2-1 backups. I'm trying to find a NVMe to USB adapter that will work though.

flatpak
You mean as a client or a server?
