Thanks for the write up.
Lemmy prefers markdown, so you can make code blocks on Lemmy with backticks, this is
inline codewith single backticks, and this is a code block, with three backticks at each end in their own lines:Block of code 2nd line 3rd line
- Comment on How to physically isolate a camera with OpenWRT, tagged VLANs and Docker 3 days ago:
I think you might be misunderstanding the role of a firewall.
Put your camera in another subnet, add rules at the convergence point (the router, in this case), done.
That is effectively what you’re doing with VLANs anyway.
- Comment on Issues with https certs locally 3 days ago:
or ones proxmox could make
In proxmox, ACME is a service for the root CA of the cluster. It does use letsencrypt, but it does not provide certs for clients.
Sounds like you are probably conflating DNS and PKI certificates.
- Comment on Any external NPU that can be hooked to a proxmox miniPC? 3 days ago:
Oops, you’re right. Still the QuickShnc GPU doing the detector work, though.
- Comment on Any external NPU that can be hooked to a proxmox miniPC? 3 days ago:
QuickSync is the GPU hardware used to infer from vino models.
- Comment on Any external NPU that can be hooked to a proxmox miniPC? 3 days ago:
Inference from GPU, even QuickSync, is better now than what TensorFlow was able to do on a Google Coral TPU.
Plus, the Coral drivers are untouched for the last 4 years.
- Comment on Would you use a privacy-first mobile app that watches your whole self-hosted stack — nothing phoning home? 1 week ago:
I use a local ntfy server and uptimekuma, which has built-in support for a ton of notification services, including ntfy.
You can also use the public ntfy server and create a topic there.
- Comment on How do people handle authoritative DNS redundancy for their self-hosted workloads? 1 week ago:
With multiple DNS servers and zone transfers.
- Comment on Moving db data (MariaDB) to NFS NAS Hello self-hosters! :) I’d like to tap in 1 week ago:
Already a bunch of really good answers here, but I’ll add that I’ve wrestled with getting DBs to work well over NFS, and it’s doable, but you really, really have to know the particulars of sync on NFS and block settings on the filesystems and the db client/server at each end.
- Comment on Self hosted trail mapping and GPS tracking with Wanderer @ selfhosted 1 week ago:
I collect GPS tracks (whenever I go somewhere I haven’t been, hiking included), and I also use wanderer for basic editing.
However, Wanderer has been trouble to upgrade and recently I’ve decided to just back up my Comaps tracks and export individual ones for editing on something like gpx.studio. What I really need is a local version of comaps for big-screen visualization and planning.
How is Wanderer helping you?
- Comment on Internet centralization and the original sin of NAT 1 week ago:
Classless interdomain routing is not the point of this post, but basically we started giving people more options for network sizes, and while complex in implementation, it was philosophically virtually uncontroversial.
You’re talking about 2 different things here. Bit masking part of what is now CIDR was implementable since the mid 90s on network segments, it’s the logic to route packets based on CIDR that was integrated into RIP, GRIP, and BGP.
Also, CIDR can’t alleviate multi-hop routing address exhaustion.
- Comment on Replacing Cloudflare Tunnel with a Selfhosted Towonel Tunnel 1 week ago:
They are saying wireguard alone, no reverse proxy. No exposing any services at all to the outside, just tunnel in with WG and access locally.

Radicale was easy enough for me. Davx5 on android to connect to it, and that’s it.

- Comment on Why is my home server using so much RAM for cache + buffer? 3 weeks ago:
when it clearly should not be doing it.
No, sorry. We don’t know enough to say this. What were the options when configuring ext4? What record size is grafana using? Mariadb or postgres? Is there contention with another db? Is there a mounted NFS path in the same ext4 partition with weird block settings? There are lots of legitimate config reasons for op’s problem, but there are so many parts of op’s setup we don’t know, we similarly can’t possibly know what the issue is.
Swappiness works as intended in most default scheduler configurations and seeing high swap is a symptom, not an issue. It is almost always more productive to find out why the swapping is happening.
- Comment on Why is my home server using so much RAM for cache + buffer? 3 weeks ago:
I agree that hitting swap is not ideal, but messing with swappiness sysctl is almost never the answer and very often leads to more problems than it solves.
If you want to tune for workload without needing fairly deep understanding of how Linux manages memory, use a sysctl that sets a whole system behaviour like CPU governor presets.
IMO, Linux is configured for “old” systems by default: slow HDDs, and constrained RAM pools, where disk IO really, really needs caching, and where idle background processes take a large fraction of RAM.
Not really a matter of opinion, and not true since kernel 5.1 when ssds became first class citizens.

This is a self-hosting community. Your promoted app is just an application, there is no self-hosted component.

Ooof, that domain name, tho…
- Comment on I measured the idle RAM of 19 self-hosted apps on identical hardware so you can size a VPS without guessing 4 weeks ago:
So, couple things here:
- Most VPS have elastic memory, meaning they can borrow burst ram from the host for short periods. This means you 1GB vps can probably run at 1.5GB or even two during some demanding jobs for a short time. And depends on the provider.
- You don’t document how you installed any of these.
- .net core doesn’t work that way, it’s not “running” underneath the arr stack. There is some init stuff that happens when you first start a .net app, setting up DLLs, paths in /opt and such, but there isn’t a resident “layer” involved.
- My arr stack executables never, ever exceed 700MB, 2GB is more than enough. I’ve watched these metrics since the days when radarr and sonarr were backed by mono. You do need some mem space to store temporary show/movie metadata, but it’s trivial.
- As others have said, peak demand ia what you want to know, not base requirement.
Generally, I like where you’re taking this, but I think some more experience with how processes and memory work will help you a lot.
- Comment on OPNsense on top of Proxmox - Part 2 4 weeks ago:
Opnsense is based on FreeBSD, not openbsd. They are different in handling jails, driver and fs support, so it does matter if you’re looking for info.

One thing I wish ai would teach vibe coders is how to use semantic versioning.
Trying to infer state of project from versions in ai-assisted software is an exercise in confusion.
- Comment on Is this a good first homeserver? 5 weeks ago:
Agree on the Jonsbo. I have an N1 and it is not great for cooling HDD either. Jonsbo seem to design their cases as ideas and never actually test them.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 5 weeks ago:
I have found that a combo of Terraform and ansible cover almost everything, if that’s of any use.
- Comment on Navidrome repost: Heads-up: the next release changes all internal IDs 5 weeks ago:
Will test, thx. Keep up the good work.
- Comment on Homelab discussion 1 month ago:
I initially set it up because bothbsonarr and radarr were making their own api calls to indexers and I would get some “daily max exceeded” for certain sites. The idea was that if one host made the calls instead of 2, I wouldn’t get rate limited as much.
Now I only have my nzb and pb indexers, the first has no such limits because I pay for it, and the second is only used as a second priority, so I don’t really hit limits anymore.
If you have a bunch of arr services, this is useful. But I only have the two, so I don’t think it’s much work to set indexers up individually.
- Comment on Homelab discussion 1 month ago:
To me, it’s a good stack. A lot of ppl have lower numbers than this, but then they set up a VM with docker and just run 12 extra things there. :P
- Comment on Homelab discussion 1 month ago:
Yeah. I have a dell r430 sitting unused and a supermicro xeon-d board, both have a BMC.
It’s really nice to have, but server stuff is expensive and power hungry.
Plus, I’ve shifted my way of looking at the setup where I’d rather it just default to starting back up properly. Even if I have a failed disk, if I’m away there’s nothing incan do about it until I’m physically back.
I’m almost 30yrs in it/devops/infosec and I’m no longer interested in owning an excavator just because I can.
- Comment on Homelab discussion 1 month ago:
Incus, all services running in lxc. Ansible and templates to run startup stuff for new containers (ssh keys, etc). My docker setup is primitive, I regressed down to individual containers for each with docker compose. It’s so trivial to restore last night’s lxc backup that k3s/k8s doesn’t really help me. Intact, i’ve been simplifying everything to suit my use, including hardware.

- wanderer for GPS track mgmt on “big screen”. I track my GPS trails and drives as a hobby. I’d love a self-hosted comaps web client, but I can’t really find one. :(
Plus lots of transient trials that come and go with interest. Rotating 7 day/4 week/3 months backups by NFS with pruning, includes snapshots, but I set expires on these.
This is running on 2x minipcs with 48GB ram each, but they are way overkill. I just received a mini itx i5 board, which will house all of the containers, save VPN and 1x DNS, which I will run on an SBC.
So I’m going down from 2x servers + 1 NFS nas to one 1u server for everything plus one SBC so I can reboot it.
Power consumption is king factor for me now.
