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

what's maintenance? is that when an auto-update breaks everything and you spend an entire weeknight looking up tutorials because you forgot what you did to get this mess working in the first place?

Heya! I’m looking to get into self hosting. Any recommendations on good beginner tutorials or resources?

Just found Redirecterr and set that up, but that’s just for me since no one else seems to use Overseerr.
Purchased a new to me EOL enterprise switch that will enable me to expand my network while replacing existing hardware that is limited. It also enables me to move to 10G networking woot!

Don't have a good guide, but in addition on the thing you plan to selfhost yourself you need to decide where it's supposed to run. In a rented VM from a hoster? There are several ones where you can get a decent VM for a few bucks each month.
Nowadays, Docker (or containers in general) are very popular, as an alternative to directly installing services on the vm. They make many things easier, but it's another thing to learn about when you're just starting - fortunately, there's plenty of guides etc!

Find something that interests you, and look at the docs of how to get started. It literally is the easiest way to learn and get involved in self hosting
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

Maintenance day is when I log into my server once every 3 month because I forgot it (as everything is working fine).
But I just discovered OpenSuse microOS, while looking at the docs for my laptop Thumbleweed, and now I want to try it with no real reasons. Maybe it is just an excuse to buy a new Raspberry pi.

I want to host a personal dashboard with weather forecast and upcoming appointments. I couldn’t find anything that fits my needs so now I‘m building my own.
Cool! Home Assistant has it and I can imagine Nextcloud as well but those are overkill just for that.

Pick something you want to self host first. Do you want a media library? Then look into Jellyfin guides, or komga, or whatever. Do you want a centralized blocking dns server for all your devices? Look into adguard/pihole/etc. do you want to fuck around with llms? That’s a whole thing but you totally can and look into guides on doing it
Just as advice you’ll find people that become borderline evangelical on what you use. It doesn’t really matter. Debian vs unraid vs truenas, ecc ram or not, etc. I mean it does, somewhat, and you should read about it, but don’t get hung up on small details. For home use basically anything is fine. Get an old ewaste pc from 2012 and run whatever os you want (just not windows though)

I know you're half joking. But nevertheless, I'm not missing this opportunity to share a little selfhosting wisdom.
Never use auto update. Always schedule to do it manually.
Virtualize as many services as possible and take a snapshot or backup before updating.
And last, documentation, documentation, documentation!
Happy 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... -

I've started to setup Authentik this weekend. My goal is to learn more about SSO and have one account for most of my selfhosted services.

Did that as well a while ago and generally it's working pretty good, some services had the possibility to migrate existing accounts to authentik even. But even though it's been pretty reliable so far I'm hesitant to migrate my more critical services behind another runtime dependency.

I run everything off my gaming rig, so maintenance is kinda already a part of it.
I just don't really look forward to the day I need to reinstall

I think auto update is perfectly fine, just check out what kind of versioning the devs are using and pin the part of the version that will introduce breaking changes.
