I'm late to the party but here's my list - cadvisor - simple graphs of resource consumption, insights per docker stack - cyberchef - a LOT of handy operations packed into one small app. Encode/decode any secrets you need and don't bother about privacy - dozzle - logs browser from all docker stacks - gogs - git mirror - heimdall - all apps main panel - minio - private S3 for my side projects - nextcloud - private goog…

Any reason why you chose photoprism instead of Synology offers (Synology Photo)?

Brownie - lets you branch the head off any EVM blockchain so that you have the current state of all smart contracts and accounts locally, and so you can manipulate the states for free, and if you find a state you like then you switch back to the mainnet blockchain and only pay for that transaction to get the desired outcome you want. also the offline version can just be for educational purposes to understand how and…

I use hardhat without brownie now

Actually not bad. I’m Not sure of the actual power draw but it can’t be too bad. Has just a single Corsair 650 watt psu. But the server also has two xeons so I’m probably at least 400 watts.

Oowhee that’s a lot of power. My “server” idles at 50W and it’s already costing me about 10$/month in electricity.

What's your 'server' setup? I like hacky solutions

I really really loved Plex, then suddenly my networks internet connection went down, no biggie I thought, I have my collection on Plex. Plex no longer worked offline at all. Not sure if that’s fixed, but I always saw it as a file server with a UI and webplayer. Plex also doesn’t let me pay for one premium subscription for the server so my family can watch old family guy episodes longer than 30 seconds on a phone. The…

Plex free + Tailscale is a surprisingly good solid solution.

I have tails ale with jellyfin only problem I have is I can't cast to Chromecast caus of no https (no domain other then name resolving by tailscale) tailscale recently came out with auto https on reverse proxy with caddy but haven't been able to get it running

My main "user-facing" applications are: * Blue Iris - for video surveillance * Home Assistant * Jellyfin My main backend things are: * Node-RED - for more complicated home automation than can be reasonably built in Home Assistant * deCONZ - for my Zigbee lights and sensors * PostgreSQL * StrongSwan and Wireguard VPNs - I'm still evaluating Wireguard. I like the simplicity, but there are some things that I can do with…

Curious what you need the split DNS for? I've got a wireguard setup and things seem to work fine as is including resolution on services and pihole filtering

Photostructure, Actual, Tandoor Recipes, and a load of media stuff. If anyone is interested in home hosting, but not sure where to start, we’re trying to make it easy with custom hardware https://pibox.io ! I maintain a ton of Kubernetes templates for various self hosted apps as well!

I ordered a pibox in February. When are they shipping?

We just packed the first one hundred ourselves and will ship them on Monday! The vast majority of orders ship in July due to Raspberry pi shortages. We’re trying to get as many orders as we can so we can place additional orders - it’s a bit of a chicken and the egg issue. Send us an email at support@kubesail.com and we can get your order number for a better estimate :)

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.

What are the issues you have?

The UI looks great but the UX is terrible

45 Drives is a brand ;). Modern servers are reasonably power efficient, and solar helps a lot. I've got a high density 42RU rack at home, it's a fun hobby.

Could you share some details on your solar setup?

It's not set up yet, but I've been planning it with a sparkie mate.

My rack - despite being high density - is relatively low draw. I'm currently pulling around 500w/h and expect to only burst to about 800w/h.

As such, I'm looking at a 25-30kwh system, depending on what I can efficiantly squeeze in. I'd also like to chain together 2-3 Powerwalls or similar battery systems for a storage capacity of 2 days or so of total draw. I also have an electric car and a family, so 2 days is probably about 40kwh.

The expectation is it'll save around $300-350 a month, so it'll take a few years for ROI, but that's ok - as long as it allows me to feed my hobby!
