My servers are up
Nothing broke
The truest answer :)
I cannot claim the same.
this is a great thread! this should be a recurring one
I managed, without ever trying, to convert a friend to swap to Linux about a month ago.
Today I’m driving over to give him my old old server so he can start self hosting. He’s super keen on getting started.
So not my success, but ours? One more person joins the community today!
I finally got around to installing Jellyfin. Still trying to get hardware transcoding working. I think I have it set up, but it still wants to use the CPU. I’m thinking permissions but I ran out of time.
Fun project.
I’ll go first: I got XMPP (Prosody) setup for the family.
Also, less this week (cheating a little), but I’ve setup all my services with SSL (self-hosted root CA), domain names, and (finally) a dashboard (Heimdall.)Edit: I can’t sepll.
Decided to buy a raspberry pi, it arrived, I installed pihole on it and put it into my dad’s house, all in a few days. Biggest win: I just took action and did it, instead of researching, brainstorming and writing down stuff for weeks and then never execute.
I deployed ntfy and traefik, and adapted a few composes to use it.
I plugged in an NVIDIA gpu in my server and enabled ollama to use it, diligently updated my public wiki about it and now enjoying real time gpt: OSS model responses!
I was amazed, time cut from 3-8 minutes down to seconds. I have a Intel Core7 with 48gb ram, but even an oldish gpu beats the crap out of it.
In that same vein I got an AMD Pro V620 32GB off ebay and have been struggling to get it to POST on my x570 motherboard, but I finally tried it on my old ASUS b450-i with a Ryzen 5 2400GE and with a few BIOS setting changes it fired right up.
Now I need to figure out what I’m doing wrong on the x570 board so I can run the V620 combined with my 9060XT for bigger models
What GPU and model you use?
NVIDIA Corporation GA104GL [RTX A4000] (rev a1)
From lspci
It has 16gb of VRAM, not too much but enough to run gpt:OSS 20b and a few other models pretty nice.
I noticed that it’s better to stick to a single model, I imagine that unload and reload the model in VRAM takes time.
All of my apps are running without issue. First time in months
It may not really be selfhosting but, managed to get a live USB with persistence so that i don’t need to carry a laptop around
Managed to get stoat working over I2P.
I solved my no display issue on my server. I couldn’t even get the BIOS on output. After taking the entire thing apart and testing all the components it turns out my Tv broke itself with a firmware update and couldn’t receive input on any of the HDMI ports…
Name and shame the brand?
LG OLED ~2019. Nintendo Switch video wouldn’t even come through, which is how I figured it out
I had enough time to install sort of pihole.
I’m curious what alternative to Pi-hole you set up. (I’m planning on installing Pi-hole soon but wanna hear all my options)
