How do people feel about Prom/Grafana? I can figure out most things, but I've had nothing but problems with these tools for years. I assume I'm the problem, because I never hear anything but high praise from anyone else. But for me it's pure friction every time I touch them and I can't figure out why.

How is your minio setup working for you? I'd heard some bad reviews early on and stayed away from it. Do you run it in any high-availability mode? Have you tested backups/restores? Would like to hear anything you'd like to share about it.

#275Do you run your docker containers, inside proxmox containers? if so, is that two layers of containerisation on top of each other? Debian > LXC > Docker > Service

Why self host cyberchef? It runs completely in the browser, and you can load it from github pages.

#277I'm late to the party, but I do have a question.
For me, reliability and data backups/recovery play an important role in setting up systems like this. I find that if I think about setting up a self-host solution, my mind goes to, "But what if it fails and you lose all your effort in a theft, fire, flood, or just hardware/data failure?"
And that side of my brain would be right: what if that happened?
So I guess I'd ask the author: how do you handle this niggling feeling in your brain, if you get it like I do.

What are the issues you have?
Re: What are your most used self-hosted applications?
#279Earlier quoted context omitted.
Just make sure your host workstation has automatic security updates turned on, but otherwise yeah letting docker manage all the services is totally fine.
docker is very bad for security due to its large attack surface.
Using container features to limit access of a program to the broader machine (disk, network, other processes) seems like it would tend to be more secure than... not doing that. Right? It's not as if I'm exposing any docker remote-control-related stuff to the network.

#280Unlike others here, my goal isn't to be "google free" or "apple free" but instead to have backups so that I'm not reliant on a cloud platform going away.
To that end, my main server (self built around an Asrock Rack mITX motherboard with a low power Core i3 9100T which supports ECC RAM and 6 4TB IronWolf NAS drives in ZRaid2) has:
- Urbackup - backup client and server for all desktops and laptops in the house
- Seafile - much more performant than NextCloud as it's just file sync for the mobile devices
- Portainer to manage Docker
- Plex
- Wireguard for tunneling into the network
- Minecraft server for the kids
- Homeassistant
- InfluxDB for recording a heap of metrics
All of this is then backed up with Restic to JottaCloud (Norwegian cloud hosting provider)
