What’s not working? I just set up TrueNAS for the first time, went with 25.04 and figured I could just update my way out of potential bugs, but the updater is broken :D

Mostly local activist groups, some software sites to see what’s in updates, few political blogs.

I get that, I plan to add another pihole ad some point so I can enter 2 nameservers at my router. There are solutions to sync all config between the piholes.

Cool, thanks!

I also planned to do the same (bare nginx instead of NPM but otherwise the same). Did you just remove the nginx container from docker compose and use the same arguments in NPM or do you double-reverseproxy or something else?

I mean every other week. I wasn’t aware of the other interpretation, but I think in combination with “The Sunday thread” it’s unambiguous?
I have never heard fortnightly, but then I’m not a native speaker. Is that commonly used?

I would run Debian from a stick and install Proxmox with the installer and not on top of Debian unless you have to. While the latter works, I found some settings around network interfaces to differ between the installation methods which caused me problems here and there.

Did you check Mint recently? If it’s been a while, it could also be dust buildup at the fan.

If you want to have domains assigned to local IP addresses, you can also use Pihole as a local DNS! It’s a very nice tool for adblocking on network level anyways, can only recommend it.

Cool! Which installation method did you use?

I hadn’t heard of Talos Linux, sounds cool! We are using haproxy as ingress controller with stepca for local certificates at work.

I didn’t know that, cool! Though I should probably talk to the mods before setting up such a thing.

Personally I’m mostly involved with my homelab migration so there’s not too much on the selfhosting page except os updates. I set up meshmini earlier to access my thin clients via vPro/AMT but I need to configure the clients before being able to actually using meshmini. Once I’m done with that I’ll finally be able to set up Lemmy and Pine pods.
My selfhosted stuff currently works fine without me doing much which feels good and lets me focus on hardware stuff currently.

- Comment on Proxmox setup - help needed 1 month ago:
Not answering every single point but generally: I’d set up proxmox, test everything, make notes, reach a state/config that you like, and then start over doing it “properly” from start.
Personally: ZFS yes, quemu/lxc depends on use case
I shy away from running all services as Docker on the same machine for backup/restore purposes and rather have VMs per service. Is there anything wrong with this approach?
No, but you’ll have much more overhead. I have a VM that hosts all Docker deployments which don’t need much disk space (most of them)

In Mastodon you need to mention the person you reply to or they won’t get mentioned. Clients usually set them automatically.
- Comment on Self-hosted home server project - call for competent advisory opinions 1 month ago:
Use whatever you have and test different setups. I would start by installing Proxmox and setup ZFS on some drive that not the boot partition. For just checking it out with some lightweight VMs and containers any CPU that’s not 20 years old will suffice, the more RAM the better. Play with VMs, backups etc in small scale. You can use your old external USB HDD, etc, just to figure out things like ZFS.
Don’t buy anything before getting some experience and having some kind of plan.

Hm, I never really liked Conversations and decided to end xmpp for good. Maybe I need to give it another try but I really like some Matrix features.

Better mobile clients? Have things changed this much in the least three years?
- Comment on Can I move my nextcloud account from a provider to my own server? 1 month ago:
If you don’t have server access to the old installation, no. You can probably transfer everything, but you have to check for every app how to export and import data via webgui. I know it works for calendar, contacs and probably more but I don’t know about the rest. So it’ll likely work but it’s not exactly straightforward.
- Comment on Docker Hub limiting unauthenticated users to 10 pulls per hour 2 months ago:
It’s easy to oversee because of the generic name, but this is pretty much that: hub.docker.com/_/registry
- Comment on Docker in LXC vs VM 2 months ago:
I can’t say much to docker in LXC as I’m not using it, I vaguely remember some limitation I’ve read of but if it works fine for you those don’t seem to apply.
A VM has more overhead than an LXC, but with several LXCs maybe a single VM wins on overhead.
I currently have most Docker containers in one VM and am thinking about splitting it, the main reason is that 2 deployments have way larger volumes than the rest. This leads to the snapshots of the VM being very large as well and if I would need to restore from snapshots for a “small” application, it would take super long because of the large ones.
A single VM may be a bit easier on maintenance than several LXCs.
If you don’t have a specific reason to switch, I would not.

Moodle can also use collabora.
- Comment on Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend? 2 months ago:
I was thinking about putting it from its dedicated VM to opnsense as well. I just don’t know yet what the security implications are and also my firewall hardware isn’t too beefy so I have to play around with it for a bit.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Intel CPU RAM limits often are wrong for some reason. If a Mainboard coming with that CPU supports more, it’ll probably work. I usually try to search forums to see if someone uses the same configuration and how much RAM they got to work.

Great to hear the yunohost migration worked. What’s 35C?

I haven’t tried that but good luck!

I’m personally using Prometheus Stack and like it, but I just check Grafana in my Android browser. I think Zabbix has an Android app but I don’t know if it has as many possibilities as Prometheus.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread 2 months ago:
Mostly the stuff in /etc/pve, plus whatever you installed in additional software

Oh, I wasn’t aware of that. Not sure if there’s a way to achieve that
