#ISP wants to complain about me using residential Internet for "commercial purposes". Apparently hosting your own website is commercial now so they're redoing my Internet as business Internet. My #homelab network will be going offline from the 18th to the 23rd could possibly be offline longer If they have any issues. The good thing coming out of this is I'll have access to static IP addresses.

Scratch that I was able to reschedule it to today

Ordered the Asrock N100 board and a (hopefully) matching power supply for my new #NAS. Might keep the Pi4 running as a backup Pihole and use it for my low level items like Obsidian and Calibre-Web? #raspberrypi #homelab

Well I just done did a stupid.

I've been using the #proxmox root login since I set it up. I figured that's probably not a good idea, so I created a new user. I thought I set it up as an admin. I even added 2fA.

I checked and saw that the root login was in my password manager, so I deleted the autofill from Firefox.

Weeks go by. I decide to run updates. Turns out my user doesn't have the permissions for that and isn't a member of sudoers. I better fix that.

I try to login as root... and the password is wrong.

Oops. My server is headless so I need to find a small portable monitor so I can edit grub and reset the root password.

What in the heck

This Mikrotik switch doesn't care what sfp+ I shove in, but has rejected 4 different types of sfp/rj45 1gb modules?

The good news is that I don't really need those ports right now but it would certainly be nice to have?

What are some things you run on your home server?

Was looking for a #FOSS solution for managing/tracking the type of 'assets' I and my family own/have in multiple households - including laptops, chargers, cables, and so on.

This is most definitely overkill considering how this software is outright enterprise material, and not family/personal use - but what I ended up discovering and deploying in my
#homelab is #Snipe-IT and it's really good (and as mentioned, super powerful)!

Just published a simple
#Helm chart on my repo to get it up and running on your #Kubernetes cluster.

I just picked up and the installation was pure hell (since I didn't want to install Android Studio) but now that it's done, 2 hours later and my phone is communicating with my remote server!

I'm so proud of myself, I feel like a little kid all again 🧒

The first self-hosted service I installed on my #RaspberryPi #homelab was #Navidrome. Just updated it via `dietpi-software reinstall 204`. It's my most used #selfhosted app. I really need to write a post on it....

Alright, gonna do a quick test. I have the encode numbers for the `encoderXX` workers running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and they're not great. Gonna build a node using CachyOS and see if that changes things.

Today is a day when I canceled my #Fastmail subscription in favor of #Infomaniak email service.

I also started migrating domains from #cloudflare to #Infomaniak.

I'm planning to deploy #Pangolin on a VPS once I need to set up tunnels.

Hey, that could be a nice tag: #LessUSmoreEU

I made so much progress yesterday. I've completely restructured the #codebase, improved the #performance, added logging with loglevels, and worked a bit on the webui. I still have a lot of work to do, but the project is a lot of fun and i really want to realize this. Can't wait to release the first alpha version. Who knows, maybe this becomes a cool community project. It will be extensible and flexible, so that might be realistic.

When you wake up in the morning after a thunderstormy night and find the one electric fuse which cares for your homelab has triggered. The USV must have screamed as long as it could .. It's strange I didn't hear it.

After I switched power back on one of the proxmox nodes didn't come back. Dead.

Good morning everyone! It's monday!

PS: It's the AC adapter. Already ordered a replacement.

#CommunityHosting #Ops

A small group of us are working on community level hosting of 'self-hosted' FOSS tools (think #NextCloud and more) setup as a local service offering for local grassroots organisations. We're seeking advice/tips/guidance.

We're keen to do some orchastration but want to avoid the complexity of say Kubernetes.

As a start we were looking at Ansible with Docker Swarm but we're now exploring other alternatives.

Anyone have experience at this sort of hobbist just a bit bigger than #HomeLab Ops scale?

#Pyinfra is being considered as an Ansible, in the projects words "Think ansible but Python instead of YAML, and a lot faster." (pyinfra.com)

Anyone have experience at this homelab/small hosting level? Would love any tips/suggestions for tools/approaches.

One source of inspiration is the 12Factor app methodology: 12factor.net

Personally, as a rubyist I'm always keen to know what the ruby community is doing in this space also.

Haven't seen many others doing work at this scale, lets use the tag #CommunityHosting to keep connected :)

I've organized and consolidated my Homelab down to just 6 repos

* Cloud, with a directory for each cloud provider
* Terminal config, for syncing dotfiles
* blog, for the blog content
* hardware, for notes on switches and config backups (arguable should automate those)
* network-services, now mostly dnsmasq/ipxe configs
* kubernetes, a sprawling IaC repo that also covers the nodes themselves

Feels nice actually. Refreshing even, especially with how snappy Forgejo feels

As I rip things out I toss what I had in a big archive/dump repo that I keep off to the side in a different namespace

Achive is kinda a toxic waste dump since I don't trust past me to not have committed credentials by mistake... at least there are decent odds they'd be creds to a depreciated or rebuilt service at least

Hrmm, it seems like there aren't many sources on how to put a PiKVM onto a proper VLAN. It seems like it's using `systemd-network` for networking, might have to put together an article on how to do it properly assuming I can remember correctly.

So, went ahead and connected the HDMI cables to the PiKVM switch and at least got the video routed to the PiKVM v4. While these were pricey, the software and capabilities more than make up for it.

Lång men produktiv (i någon bemärkelse) dag, nu har jag även självsignerade certifikat för mitt eget TLD (som används i mitt wireguardnätverk) som genereras automatiskt i #Kubernetes-klustret. 😎
