Selfhosting Sunday - What's up?

Damn ok that sucks it doesn't seem available on the client for apple tv.
Yeah I dont know why any Dev wouldn't choose a cross platform framework
-
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.
Finished my migration from Plex to Jellyfin

I've never done dev for apple stuff, but I think it's probably just not that friendly with more open/cross platform frameworks

Was using realvnc to vnc from remote, it was easy and cloud driven.
Fully swapped to tailscale and normal VNC sever now.
Performance is good and works great for the troubleshooting and small GUI stuff I need to do.

Debatting with myself and to a lesser degree what to do in terms of our homeserver situation.
While the proxmox node has more than enough CPU and RAM capacity left, the NAS, an older Synology, is full to the brim, EOL and needs replacement.And sadly being a mini PC the proxmox node is unable to get the HDs connected.So something new is needed and I would rather have my setup streamlined and combine the two.
But that is... More difficult than anticipated.
I really would like something power saving with ECC ram that can take at least two PCI-e (SFP+ and a potential graphic card for AI later on). That can take 4,better 6 HDs. And at least one,better two NVMe.
...that basically means self building which I am happy with, but all current builds I calculate come out somewhere south of 2000€ (including two new HDs, as two old ones need to go).
And that's sadly out of the financial possibility at the moment.If only the fucking Ugreen (DXP6800)would support ECC. While not ideal in terms of PCI-e it would be enough to do the trick.
I use a little mini PC with a DAS connected via USB. So you don't need to go full server to expand the storage.

That's a bit below the level of reliability I need,sadly - before doing that I could also go for a non ECC solution.

I've been fending off AI bots the last week or so; wrote about it here:

Interesting writeup, thanks! I thought maybe dropping connections with those user agents would be the best but idk. My sites have not been targeted yet fortunately.

There's nothing wrong with making a reverse proxy only for use inside your homelab. It's one way to resolve internal DNS queries and give addresses to your services. It's perhaps the best, because it's the only way I know that doesn't necessitate remembering port numbers.
E.g. You are hosting something at 192.168.1.20 on port 3310. Even if you set a local DNS record for pihole.itjust.donn to resolve to 192.168.1.20, you'll still have to type pihole.itjust.donn:3310 to access it. The same isn't true with a reverse proxy.
This is good to know because I'm learning about nginx currently, so I'm glad it has practical use without opening up my network

Call me careless, but I personally don't think exposing services publicly is that big of a deal. I've been publicly exposing Home Assistant, Jellyfin, Immich, Joplin and a few others for at least 3 years now with no repercussions. Everyone's risk tolerance is different, but I wouldn't write of publicly available services. Precautions like a reverse proxy, Crowdsec, Fail2ban, and Authelia all lower the risk profile.

So far I haven't seen any attempts to change their user agents. I've seen one or two other bots poking around, but nothing to write home about so I've left them alone.
I have heard however that changing user agents is a tactic they do indeed employ, especially Claude, so it may be that I'll eventually have to adapt my defenses.

What ratio are you at with your Linux ISOs *wink.
Just under two right now but it is throwing out 55-60GB a day at the moment. Gotta keep those Linux ISOs seeded!

Ive been using Zola for a bit now and love it. Very simplistic. Could be worth a look but simple pages can be html or markdown. Couldnt be much simpler. Super fast to build
Zola really is great, I have started to work with it and it is so much easier to grasp and to get results with.
Thanks a lot for pointing me to Zola! -
