What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread

I wonder why so many people had issues with the v6 pihole update.
I pulled the new docker container and it ran overtop the previous version just fine. The only issue I had was I had the admin password set to empty via an env variable and that variable name changed. Took like 10 min to find and fix. The rest migrated perfectly.
Now I'm just waiting on orbital-sync to add v6 support, but that's just around the corner and not that critical.
I had a pair of v5 with unbound setup, and ran the pihole -up and it went down lol. Dunno what happened, but i reinstalled and it’s all good.
I only run the basic block list, so I am thinking more and more to setup docker on my main server and move my pihole, pyvpn and grafana there and free up my raspi.

Hmm, I wonder if the failed updates are only direct installs vs docker.
I run two piholes, a primary on a rpi 3b running pios, and a secondary on my main server. Both are installed via docker and both updated without issue (besides the password thing).
I like having the primary DNS on a separate machine; it's kind of important and I like to mess with the main server a lot...

I also like to mess around so more and more docker seems like at least an ok idea if not a good idea.

I definitely recommend it, particularly using docker compose. It's made it incredibly easy to add, remove, and modify software installs; keeping everything independent and isolated from each other.
This also makes backups and rolling back updates to individual projects much easier when you do run into problems.

I appreciate the motivation. Thanks!

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.
Just set up Lemmy! I wonder if this gets through

I'm reading it so I'd say it works!

Hell yeah, you just sent the first notification to my instance

That's actually so cool and the more I think about it the more it's making me really want to host my own Lemmy instance. Can I ask what sort of hardware resources you're running it on?

Yeah, nobody other than Brits use fortnightly anymore.
And Aussies. We use it here a LOT

Sure! It's a Lenovo m910q tiny. Mine has an i7-6700 and 32GB RAM but Lemmy runs in a VM with 4 cores and 8 GB RAM which should be plenty, it's not even using half that RAM. Disk Space seems to be the limiting factor after a while since it keeps copies of all remote threads and comments but that can be cleaned up too.
Found some threads online on resource usage beforehand like this: https://lemmy.ml/post/440678

I'm going through hell, trying to update from truenas scale 24.04 to 24.10

Replaced the fan with a bad bearing on one of my proxmox hosts today. For a short while I figured I was going crazy because it seemed to stop making noise when I actually got close to the server, but it finally fully gave today and I was able to identify and swap it.
