What’s happening on your servers? Any interesting news things you tried?
I didn’t do anyone other than updating Mastodon (native deployment) lately due to a lack of time. Reading so much about Immich caused me to consider trying it in parallel to Nextcloud but I’m not sure if I want to have everything twice.
Not quite homelab, but I’m about to install Linux Mint on my mom’s laptop and that had me thinking about creating an off-site backup in her place again since she has a fiber connection. I’m still not sure about the potential design though, but currently my only backup is in the same rack as the live stuff.

I migrated iptimr-kuma to the new v2.0 release. The DB migration took a long time. I learned I probably should have run the vacuum command before the migration, but I never noticed the button in the settings before.
Also preparing Jellyfin for its new 10.11.0 which comes with another long running DB migration.
CLOUDFLARE IS NO MORE FOR MY NETWORK
Soon I’ll drop Cloudflare for my public services too
What are you moving to?
Anubis, though I always had it before I removed Cloudflare.
I did have troubles passing the Anubis check from time to time. It does not offer an alternative way to prove you’re not a bot and locks you out of the website completely.
Hooray!
I actually just wrote about today’s fun experience! https://gotosocial.michaeldileo.org/@mdileo/statuses/01K7YKQ9584YBY1QTYQ8RMW7SS
I installed gitlab on mine. Time to organize my projects!
Cool, have fun! Any particular reason for Gitlab over other forges?
…. I didn’t consider that there might be alternatives lol. :p but it is what we’re use at work, and I’m just a dumb cat with some servers! :3
I just heard it’s a bit more of a hassle to set up than like gutes/forgejo, but if you already got that, enjoy!
Similar, I just installed Forgejo and I’m digging having my dotfiles local rather on GitHub.
Yeah! I’m excited to be able to easily sync stuff over my several computers!
I threw a thinkcenter in my laundry room and did the bare minimum to securely SSH into it (fail2ban, nonstandard port, root login disabled, can’t login with password, etc), to be used as a testing platform for building my workplace a new website.
Just gotta relearn HTML/CSS and figure out what platform to use.
Also set up traefik/Authelia/maybe Anubis for the new domain and block any access outside of my home or workplace.
Self hosting wise, not much, just ran through updates (I prefer to do this manually) and set up a new box which will host another proxmost host and NAS.
The mobo/CPU that became the new server has been replaced with an Asus prime x370-pro and a spare 1700x to be used as a new endeavoros desktop (their defaults are close enough to what I want I dont bother with full manual install). Mostly need it for a KDE 6 box for dev/testing to go alongside the instances of Trixie/Sid, since I’m considering arch for some work stuff that Debian won’t fit the bill for.
Love the post haha! Nothing much here things run rather stable and with low maintance right now.
I’m super glad I arrived this state and don’t have to do anything mostly. Just when I want to change stuff :)
I mean I still do from time to time. Breaking changes require some attention and migrations. But overall its good and not a load of daily maintance.
At this point my whole setup is mostly in maintenance mode - I’ve got everything I need up and running, making some minor changes here and there (like swapping out StirlingPDF for Bento), and keeping things up to date. I only started this hobby about 6 months ago or so, and I’m really satisfied with where things are at. We’ll see when the next Big New Thing arrives.
I actually did something for quite a while. Finished long overdue wiring for outdoor access point and one more camera, replaced a main switch since the old one started to behave unreliably, installed frigate (which still needs some work), cleaned up some wiring while messing around, updated a bunch of firmwares, replaced switch in garage to managed one and made some changes on my workstation and some other minor stuff.
Next would be to move cameras into their own VLAN and harden that setup a bit. And I really should get around on better backups for my VPS. But it’s a new week coming up, if the work isn’t too busy I might get something more done.
I’ve had immich but went to homegalley instead. Mostly because I want to keep MY directory structure in case I’m abandoning the choosen platform. Have not regretted my choice (so far … 8 months)
I’ve been using Immich, but with my photos as external media. That lets me keep my directory structure too, but with the Immich features 🙂
You can adjust the directory structure in immich using templates
I’ve not been able to make it work reliably with photos backed up using immich on my android phone, is if working for you? I read somewhere storage templates are not very robust/reliable.
Seems to be working fine for me but i don’t do anything complex, just folders by year and month
I’ve learned a hard lesson this week. Jellyfin server OS partition run out of free space and corrupted the database. Nothing to do but reinstall. I guess this week I’ll be reviewing backups! 🤣🤣🤣
oh this recently happened to me. but nothing much was lost, users were managed with SSO, files were unaffected, barely an inconvenience.
I don’t like the sound of that. Sounds like bad programming? Who’s at fault? Jellyfin or the database implementation? Why would a nospace error corrupt everything. Sounds absolutely volatile. 😱
They just made a blog post about the next version fixing a long standing issue with their database management. Should probably improve in the near future.
Yikes. Well that’s good, at least. Progress is good.
FYI from the newest release notes for 10.11.0
Jellyfin now actively checks the available free space for its configuration and data directories. If you have less than 2GB of free space in each data directory, Jellyfin now refuses to start to prevent data corruption. Additionally, checks are implemented to prevent certain path misconfigurations that are known to cause issues.
Updated several Syncthing Server and one of them that comes as Yunohost Package got an new ID.
So that little thingy flooded all my other Syncthing Servers with Sharing requests… Its pretty anoying and surely its that one that serves the outside Backup…
I finally got my home services covered with my website’s wildcard ssl. Which is great, because now I can setup ELK Stack and setup an auth portal on my vps, and get Plex and gitlab out of the house securely.
Installed qbittorrent and downloaded a few seasons of Linux isos onto a vps. Discovered accessing those files over SSH to be too slow to play them without buffering so installed filebrowser to get them via http which worked well.
It’s been a long long time since I used bittorrent and wow it works so much better these days.
Gitlab and Nextcloud broke (cuz I ctrl+c’d the pacman hooks, oops), but some manual DB upgrades and rebooting fixed that. However, I can’t login into my synapse from anywhere, and can only use it with existing sessions for some reason.
Also, there’s searxng.30p87.de now :3
