What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday!

Currently trying to step up my game bv setting up kubernetes.
Cluster is running, but I am really struggling getting the combination domain name, let's encrypt and traefik, but without a cloud load balancer, to work.
I feel like I went through most tutorials available, but it seems each one is missing a crucial part.
Gonna invest some more hours today...Without supported loadbalancer Kubernetes is no fun / not doable in my opinion.
For Hetzner for example, there are some recipes to be found to use an LB and also volumes.
I've stepped back to docker compose with a traefik proxy which takes labels from the containers to decide where to route what.
Highly recommended!

I know for many of us every day is selfhosting day, but I liked the alliteration. Or do you have fixed dates for maintenance and tinkering?
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.
This post is proudly sent from my very own Lemmy instance that runs at my homeserver since about ten days. So far, it's been a very nice endeavor.

Had the intention of making a hidden TOR website version for all my websites but I'm sick

Pinepods 0.7.4 is out! So as the Dev I'm going through new issues and knocking them out. Smart playlists, oidc logins and notifications on release are all a thing now on the self hosted podcast platform! We're nearing a v1 release with features on par with some of the big time podcast apps.
Hell yeah! Still got Pinepods on my to-host list.

Oh, sounds pretty cool, I have never looked into that.

I'm working on my first kubernetes cluster. I'm trying to set the systems up with NixOS. I can get a kublet and a control plane running. But I'm getting permission errors when trying to use kubectl rootless on the system running the control plane. I think I figured out which file i need to change, now I just want to record that change in my configuration.nix.

I just set up wanderer and workout-tracker. Along with installing gadgetbridge on my phone, I now have a completely self hosted fitness/workout stack with routes, equipment tracking, heatmaps, general health metrics like HRV, heart rate, etc through my Garmin watch, without having Garmin Connect installed. Awesome!

I got a Matrix server set up with conduwuit but the problem is that none of my friends are on there so I don't use it. The one friend I made the damn thing for so we could chat just started going through a bunch of personal stuff so now it won't be used for a while. FML.

I'm curious how this goes for you. I run all my machines on NixOS except my k8s cluster which is Talos for now. I have been thinking of switching to Nix for that too.

I need to migrate off Docker Desktop for Windows and Storage Spaces but I fear the process will be difficult due to my data volume and the stupidity of Windows. I should never have gone Windows, but I wanted to use Steam Big Picture off the media PC and didn't want to deal with getting that functional on Linux.
But Docker Desktop for Windows keeps crashing WSL and bricking the network devices randomly, and also continuously grows memory consumption until the machine reboots. Piece of shit.

After just about a month of hosting some things on a Raspberry Pi 4, I think it's about time to work on repurposing this mini PC that hasn't been doing much the last few years and keep growing my services.
To that end, can anyone point me to a good, thorough guide to getting going with Sonarr? I installed it, but then realized I needed to add a client and Prowlarr and I feel like I just started in the middle.
Search for trash guides and servarr. Both have websites that are detailed in how to set up all of the arrs apps in what ever fashion you want. I think both have Discord servers too.

Here's a list of self-host/foss/Linux YouTubers. Check them out. I've learned SO much from them:
- Veronica Explains
- Network Chuck
- Jim's Garage
- Andrea Borman
- Awesome Open Source
- Techno Tim
I can add links to each but searching should find them easily

Windows Docker is so bad, I don't even know why it's a thing.
Some good planning might make the migration less painful. I would recommend a ZFS or other COW storage solution under the docker host so you can do snapshot backups and not have to worry about quiesing databases, etc.

nixos doesn't play well with rootless containers in my experience

how is your experience with it? I'm considering setting up audiobook shelf as well.

Cool to have it ready anyways! Does it federate? You can use all sorts of dev-support groups etc.

That sounds so cool! Not using any tracking/nav devices other than my phone but currently my routes just stay local without having any kind of management for them.

I’m building services out for my family as things enshittify. Moved the family over to an immich instance, run a family blog on Wordpress (working on rolling my own since it’s over complicated and with all the Wordpress shenanigans…), plex (lifetime account, works for now). I have a number of self-built projects as well, a “momboard” like system that is integrated with my Wordpress blog for access and control, a pi based backup server that lives at my friends house and nails a VPN connection to my router and I’m playing with Meshtastic as an offline communication system for my kids scout troop when we’re camping without cell signal. Lots of home automation with home assistant as well.
I host it all on Debian servers, raspberry pi’s and esp32 devices (Meshtastic and home automation). I used to run kubernoodles but it was more complicated than needed and for my use case, docker, ansible and bash scripts manage it all just fine.

I got a new job, and the group chat is on WhatsApp, so I'm looking into running a Synapse server with a bridge to it. I really don't want to have to use Meta's apps on my phone.
From what I've read so far, it seems like it's going to be the most convoluted install process I'll have encountered in my self-hosting journey. I'm excited to tackle it, but also a bit overwhelmed. Which is why I've been putting it off
It was a huge pita to get it running, but I have it.
One thing about the WA bridge is that element won't let me give display names or look up the contact number, so the people in chatting with don't have names, just "their number (WA)"

Been messing around w/ podman, and after hours of slamming my head against the wall, I decided Seafile isn't worth it.
It launches a bunch of stuff inside one container, and I just couldn't figure out how to get that to work w/ quadlet (worked fine w/ podman kube playthough).I got forgejo set up and now I'm looking into setting up runners so I can finally migrate off hosted gitlab onto my own forgejo instance.
Some other things I'm planning on doing this week:
- migrate existing services to podman quadlet from docker compose - will make each existing service into a pod and play w/ pod networking
- set up technitium - tested it locally and it worked well, so just need to move it and configure it; hope to use it as the primary DNS for my house
- set up owncloud ocis - there's a new POSIX FS option, which was my main hangup when I last looked into a nextcloud alternative (I only need storage + collabora)
- probably some kind of dashboard, because the number of services I host is getting a bit long
If I get time, I want to install openSUSE MicroOS onto my NAS and start migrating everything to it (from openSUSE Leap). I really like the idea of an immutable base OS, and my NAS is already 90% containers (pretty much just Samba left). I need to fix some permission issues anyway (keep having to
chownmy videos so samba and jellyfin can work together), and this should make things a bit more obvious.I'll probably also start a blog about my self-hosting journey, because the info around podman is kinda sparse, especially when it comes to quadlet.
Edit: got OCIS working, but it was a bit of a pain. Starting that blog really sounds like a good idea...
