How’s your stuff doing? Unplanned interruptions or achieving uptime records?
I’m currently sailing rather smooth. Most of my stuff is migrated to Komodo, there will stay some exceptions and I only have to migrate Lemmy itself I think. Of course that’s when I found a potential replacement but I’ll let it sit for a while before touching it again. Enjoying the occasional Merge Request notification from the Renovate Bot and knowing my stuff is mostly up to date.
I’m thinking about setting up some kind of Wiki for my other niche hobby (Netrunner LCG) lore as there’s a fandom one that most people avoid touching and updating but since I likely won’t have time to start writing some articles on my own as a kickoff I’m hesitant. Also not sure which wiki I’d choose as well.

Late to the party But I’ve been thinking about upgrading my proxmox and finally taking care of my backups in a more responsible manner. Just thinking about it, not actually doing anything yet :)
Certainly not my homelab as my server isn’t booting since a few weeks ago and I didn’t fix it yet…
Oh no!
I have been experimenting with a btrfs raid array and am getting some new hard drives in the mail today, hoping it goes smoothly and they work 😬 All part of a larger goal of migrating my synology NAS to a purpose built machine.
Also got my first contribution and donation on my OIDC SSO project, which is really exciting!
Ey! congrats for the donation. I hope your personal project succeeds!
Bought my first raspberry pi 5, 8 gb ram version. Gonna be using it to run a jellyfin server and maybe a foundry server if it can handle both concurrently. Anyone familiar enough to know if running multiple things on one of these is wise?
Running multiple things in one host is perfectly fine. The more you have, the more complicated dependencies will become. Tool A needing PHP < 8 and tool B needing PHP 9 can be handled but is a headache.
That’s why many people are using containers, specifically Docker. Each tool brings their own dependencies that are running isolated. Not sharing dependencies is more resource intensive but easier to handle.
I’m not running the tools you mentioned but probably they list their resources requirements. I suggest you to check containers/Docker and consider using them instead of installing the tools natively.
Ah, docker is a name I’d heard hanging around the lemmy space. I looked into it a little and couldn’t figure out what its usecase was, but that makes a fair bit of sense, thanks
Purchased 5 1tb drives to expand my study server. Going from 600GB to 4TB is going to make more complex labs possible.
I’ve finally setup Netbird instead of Tailscale to VPN to my network. Took some time since I wanted it to work with pocket-id and had some issues configuring everything properly. Runs like a charm now.
I’ve just finished to configure my homelab with wg-easy yesterday to do exactly that. Took me weeks because podman. And now I learn that there was a better way? Oh well…
Burning the midnight oil on my self hosted journal app: https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app
Oh hey I just thought about setting up a journal! Maybe I’ll check it out
Definitely!
Made some changes to my I2P router today, but otherwise all good.
Chose yesterday late evening as the time to migrate my containers from docker to podman (still rootful). By luck most things work again, except wireguard/qbittorrent
What made you want to switch from docker to podman?
Aiming to go daemonless and then rootless for as many containers as possible to minimize attack surface
Nice. I’m aiming to go from bare metal to rootless podman managed via quadlets. Networking seems like the difficult part.
Everything here is smooth sailing. I have been trying to track down a bothersome Suricata entry.
202.136.163.11 PROTOCOL-ICMP destination unreachable port unreachable packet detected 202.136.163.11 PROTOCOL-ICMP destination unreachable port unreachable packet detected 202.136.163.11 PROTOCOL-ICMP destination unreachable port unreachable packet detected 202.136.163.11 PROTOCOL-ICMP destination unreachable port unreachable packet detectedad nauseum. There are three individual ips. One from Singapore, one from China and one from Romania. They are being blocked, so that’s good. Thing is, these are from realitvly ‘clean’ sources:
120.132.37.195 was not found in our database202.136.163.11 was found in our database! This IP was reported 5 times. Confidence of Abuse is 0%:On the server side, I have nothing calling out to these ip. That’s what was really bugging me. Nothing server side, just these three bothersome ip hammering Suricata. Generally, I would dismiss as benign and part of normal UDP behavior. However, it’s the constant hammering that makes me suspicious. Could be high volume port scanning. However, it could also be known attack campaigns like UDP amplification attempts.
Other than that, I might find something to get into today.
Working on automating tasks so I don’t have to block out hours of time a week managing everything. Just got watchtower running and going to see how it does before trying out some other automations.

If you find that watchtower (original) screws up the updates frequently there is a watchtower fork that runs so much smoother. I don’t have any issues with it at all. The original watchtower app hasn’t had an update in 2 years, so it might be something to keep in mind.
I’m actually using this one which seems to be more actively maintained than the one you linked.
Bookmarked! Thanks for that. Learning all kinds of stuff today.
In fact you must use the fork. The old one no longer works with recent Docker, due to API versioning. I found that out last night when I brought up my compose stack and traefik wouldn’t start, because it too needed an update.

I had that issue with Portainer recently. I had to drop back to the previous docker version, and held it until Portainer works through the snag. I didn’t think about original watchtower being affected. I just got tired of having to fix broken updates, and went looking for something better. When original watchtower worked tho, it worked well.
Mostly everything is running smoothly. Been fighting with some zigbee integrations randomly dropping connection from Home assistant but it’s nothing too important.
Biggest issue I’ve been facing is how to make sure all my media is properly encoded so jellyfin doesn’t pin my cpu transcoding when I’m streaming to the onn boxes around my house. Debating if I need to dump the onn’s and try to spin up raspberries for each TV instead
Following the FUTO guide, but having problems with getting mailcow going… I’ll hopefully figure it out by tomorrow.
I installed Jellyfin on my server and threw kodi on a minipc I dug out of dumpster pile at work. Works pretty well, but my server needs more RAM and the minipc needs either a wireless keyboard or a USB-HID remote controller to finalize the setup. Also ran some wiring in the house and added two network sockets to a room where the whole kodi-tv-gamingpc-whatever-pile is going to live.
On the server RAM I found some on ebay, but if anyone is interested on 64G DDR4 ECC DIMMs I have a few. I thought they were supported on my server motherboard when I took them out from a old server at work but it supports only up to 32G ECC dimms.
Hi! I installed LibreELEC in a RPi4, and connected to the hdmi of my TV I can control it with the atV remote, I don’t know if it will usefull…
I’d rather have a physical remote which acts as a keyboard so it’ll support waking the system up from suspend. Plus I prefer a dedicated device for that instead of a phone as I’m not a only user for the thing. There’s plenty of those around, only problem is to find one that works reliably and local stores don’t seem to have a lot of options so I might need to dig one up on ebay even if it’s a bit of a PITA to order from China to EU today with customs.
I’m pretty sure they’re referring to hdmi-cec, nothing to do with a phone.
I didn’t know raspberry supports that. Searching for ‘atv remote’ just brings up androind apps, so maybe I misunderstood. Neat thing, but the hardware I have doesn’t support it and seems like usb-cec adapters are more expensive than usb-hid remotes.
Trying to work up the courage to troubleshoot a very worrying disk error on the new NAS I’ve been building, which if solved will leave me the problem of working up the courage to try and migrate to the new server without losing my Plex library settings and progress.
Basically I’m frozen in fear.
