Off topic, warning: this comment section is making me want to learn things
It’s been 2 days off reddit and my brain has opinions other than “aaaargh” or “meh”.

I test in my Homeproduction
greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Yeah, my home server was being a little too stable and I wasn’t really learning anything. So I switched from fedora to proxmox, now I’ve got a nixos vm I’m going to try to get all my services running in.

Yes that does seem to describe modern computing, indeed, consumer electronics in general.
It’s no longer about solving actual problems, it IS the problem.

No upstream bugs to fix?

How is the kubernetes (k3s/rke2) migration coming along?
irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 month ago
OP, totally understand, but this is a level of success with your homelab. Nothing needs fiddling with. Now, there is a whole Awesome Self Hosted list you could deploy on a non-production server and run that through the paces.

If logging is down and there’s no one around to log it, is it really down?
Agent641@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Who will log the loggers?

One word: chaos engineering

That’s not a homelab, that’s a home server.

I haven’t messed with my raspberry pi in maybe a month… And I think one of my backups got corrupted because I receive an email saying that it failed along with tons of errors every night. Hmm, maybe I should get to that soon…

I had a automatic reboot of all VMs and the hypervisor because of a kernel update at night. Nextcloud decided to start in maintenance mode and Jellyfin refused to start because the cache folder didn’t have enough space left. Authentik also complained about outdated provider configuration…
Need to investigate the Nextcloud and Authentic issue during weekend 🤗

Do your backups work?
notabot@piefed.social 1 month ago
Have you tested your backups recently? Having them complete is one thing, having the data you need for recovery is another. Have you backed up your vm configurations and build scripts?
Go test your latest backup!

Restore is future me’s problem. Fuck that guy :D

Started running unmanic on my plex library to save hard drive space since apparently the powers that be don’t want us to even own hard drives anymore. So far it’s going great, it’ll probably take weeks since I don’t have a gpu hooked up to it

Gotta be honest, my home lab chugs along quite happily.
Atomic fedora makes it hard to break, and then all the services are containerized and managed by configuration and just files only.
When there’s an update to a service:
just pull service. Firewall needs configuring:just firewall-reset && just firewall-enable.The only flaky thing is a vpn that I run through glutan and I’m thinking of dumping that provider.

I havent messed much with my servers in 2 years. I think that means I’ll hit my RIO in another 5 :)

Man I always get sad when I see this meme format because the story behind it is so fucking tragic… :(
Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
What story?
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It makes me start looking for the next thing. Got my jellyfin, got my pi hole, my retro console and just recently home assistant set up. (Just a few more buts to add to that). Next i think i am going to look into self hosting a cloud storage solution. Like google drive/photos etc. Would be nice to make my own backups and have them offline

You need monitoring
wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
I’m remembering a very not fun discussion my team had about “the monitoring system not sending any alerts doesn’t inherently mean everything is ok” after an outage that was missed by our monitoring system.
You need to make sure you’re monitoring connectivity as well as specific problem states. No data is a problem state often overlooked, and it’s not always considered for every resource type in these systems out of the box.
And you probably want a heartbeat notification. Yes, it’s noise, but if you don’t see anything from monitoring you need to question if monitoring is the thing that broke. It sending out a notification every so often going “yes I am online” is useful.

One alert daily reporting that there are no alerts is probably good for a home lab…

Kubernetes?
neidu3@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Barring any hardware issues or external factors, will it run for 10000 years? Any logs not properly rotated? And other outputs accumulating and eventually filling up a filesystem?
