  Help I’m destitute, what should I do? Step one: buy Bitcoin.

  I honestly just did it to try to get cleaner logs having the container only be responsible for the proxying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with authentik and traefik random drops⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll try that, but since I haven’t been able to find any related issues I’m pretty sure it’s a configuration error on my part. Hehe the regretfully long post. Next step will probably be to open an issue on authentik’s GitHub but since I think it’s a pebkac I would prefer not to waste their time.

  If you want to do this, what you probably want is to pump your logs into a log drain, something like betterstack is good. They theN allow you to set up discrepancy thresholds and can send you emails when something seems to be out of the ordinary. There’s probably a self hosted thing that works the same way but I’ve never found a simple setup. You can do the whole Prometheus, influxdb, grafana setup but imo it’s too much work, and then you still have to set up email smtp separate from that.

  That… seems to be a bit of a leap. You’ve got to assume that challenged women are representative of the whole population. To issue a challenge you probably have some reason to suspect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Homelab Organization⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Came to write basically this. I would try caddy but my compose file is 600 lines long now and half of that is traefik labels, I can’t be arsed with the migration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with deployment⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do have nightly off-site backups, that’s true. Still, having the git repo be on the same machine doesn’t seem right to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with deployment⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would fill the same role as watchtower I guess? I’ve previously tried to have a look at having portainer manage the docker compose stack that it’s running inside but at least back then it seemed to be a dead end and not really what portainer is meant to do. I’m not interested in moving away from docker compose at this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with deployment⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be a bit concerned with having the git repo also be hosted on the machine itself. If the drives break it’s all gone. I could of course have two remotes but then pushing changes still becomes a multi step procedure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What tool do you use to display your self-hosting infrastructure⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh for sure for sure. I just know that a lot of people use their homelab to learn skills that they can put on their resume when looking for a job. It’s totally fair to over engineer your self hosting setup if that’s your goal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What tool do you use to display your self-hosting infrastructure⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You should definitely figure out some infra as code system now while it’s manageable. Normally I’d recommend docker-compose as it’s very easy to learn and has a huge ecosystem, but since you’re using proxmox you might need to look at ansible like the other commenter said. Having IaC with git makes it so much easier to test new stuff, roll changes back, and all that good stuff, in addition to solving your original problem of forgetting what is running where.

  Just find the simplest IaC solution possible. Unless you are gunning for a job in infrastructure you don’t need to go into kubernetes or terraform or anything like that, you just need something reproducible that you can easily understand and modify.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I know you didn’t mean it like this, but the result from this line of thinking is that we only try to put women on equal footing with men in tech when it’s convenient for men because times are good. Which in turn means we never put women on equal footing because the needs of men always come first.

  Put differently women have to deal with being women in tech on top of times being desperate, men only have to deal with times being desperate. Things like this are why spaces like these are necessary in the first place, and if you break them down at the first discomfort you’re not a working class hero fighting the capital, you’re tearing down women and setting everyone back.
