#102Self hosting Kubernetes on 4 cheapish office PCs (hp 6300), ceph/rook for storage, orchestrated by canonical Maas/juju
- nextcloud with bulk of data going to ceph s3.
- Unifi controller
- openhab
- blog
- nat gateway, dns server
- tvheadend (so that's basically self hosting IPTV)

#103Maybe not what you expect for an answer, but I'm self-hosting a telegram bot that does a bit of scrapping of a certain site I'm interested in, and serving those messages to a couple of subscribers (around ~10 people). I know, it is a very low user count, the interesting bit is, I wrote this bot in Rust using async with Tokio, and it's running on a Raspberry Pi 2011.12 with 256 megs of ram and a single ARMv6 core. I w…
Sounds like an interesting blogpost in and of itself. Have a blog somewhere?
I do have a blog but haven't updated it for a while, but it is also in heavily localized Spanish, so it won't be as useful to most people here :(
I might think on writing a blog post of this now that some of you found it interesting, though!

#104Nextcloud (files, contacts, calendar, GPodder sync), Home Assistant (and Node Red for automations, Mosquitto MQTT server, ZWave JS), Joplin Server (notes sync), Plex, Vaultwarden, Miniflux (RSS server), Pihole, Syncthing, Linkding (minimal bookmarks with tags, description, etc), wireguard server, Valheim game server, ntfy (push notifications for server alerts and makes a nice websocket/SSE backend for some simple sel…
I am currently using Obsidian and thinking of moving back to Joplin. Is Joplin now able to sync changes when detected? or is it still limited to periodic sync?
It has always synced changes when detected actually. It does an automatic sync after a note is changed

#105I self‐host mostly because local copies of things give me some privacy (sites won’t know what my IP is searching for), and it also lets me work easily when Comcast is down… which is annoyingly frequent in my neighborhood. All of these machines are running OpenBSD, except the gaming machines and the HTPC. • Outgoing Email: OpenSMTPD, with mandatory TLS. Since I’m the only one sending email from my domain, the outgoing…

#107I used to run a lot at home. But i realized that "support" stops when i would die. My family, who is a- technical, would have not even have a clue on where would be what (since they freak already out if an icon on their phone is move 1 millimeter). So from that nonfunctional requirement for my own home solutions, I decided that self-hosting would not be the best choice, since it would be too dependent on me. My famil…
I only recently had this same thought. It's making me think hard about how to reorganize all of these services I have set up for my family.

#108Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can also configure PiHole as a DHCP server that sets itself as the DNS server. This way you only have to configure it once and devices should accept it as the default DNS. Had to do that to sidestep my locked down ISP router config…
Ahhh, from the alternate universe where I need to get a stable IP for my server without using Tailscale. So you just run a 2nd DHCP server, all clients broadcast to every device to find an IP address. In order for the client to choose your server instead of the router, the server has to be faster to respond with an IP address, correct? At first thought this seems fragile, but then again dhcpcd is the longest segment…
Not exactly. I disabled my router‘s built in DHCP server so that they don’t conflict with each other. Luckily it didn’t have _that_ option locked down :)

#109- Jellyfin (like having a personal Netflix, comes with a built-in web interface and has clients on Roku, AndroidTV, and AppleTV, among others—I spent north of a decade fucking around with XBMC/Kodi before settling on this, way more watching stuff, way less fiddling with the system, vastly better than Kodi for my purposes, anyway, far more usable by the non-geeks in my house) - A Minecraft server for the kids. [EDIT]…
What is your take on Plex vs Jellyfin? I am considering the move, but haven't really had a lot of problems with Plex other than it not being open-source
Plex just works on LG TVs (i.e. has a native app), Jellyfin doesn't have a native app. Plex is also "good enough" for most purposes and actually relatively painless to set up. It gets shit on a lot here but I'm grateful it exists.

I tried to use Jellyfin twice, and my problem every time was that in comparison to Kodi it produced very broken results when scanning my library. E.g. wrong show names, almost arbitrary movie names, etc. Have you faced that?
