Selfhosted

Most important: replace the raspi SD card with an SSD

General hardware: see if I find a better solution than my current Proxmox box (repurposed desktop which consumes 60w idling but is capped to 16GB Ram)

Incoming traffic: currently having a VM that runs nothing but nginx and certbot. Considering switching to another reverse proxy and, more important, get proper monitoring of the logs (e.g. IP detection, 403, etc)

Maybe add some iam like authentik

Finding a solution for selfhosting podcasts client with sync on Android and Linux.. gpodder never really seemed to work, considering audiobookshelf.

Probably setting up calibre web and gethomepage

Keeping what I have and maybe optimize a bit:

• Prometheus stack
• plenty exporters
• Nextcloud
• paperless
• home assistant, mosquitto
• pihole
• vaultwarden
• selfoss

On VPS:

• Mastodon
• Bookwyrm
• some WordPress (want to move this to my homeserver as well)

1. Install Comms box in office.
2. Get Unifi switch.
3. Run Cat6A to all rooms of house.
4. Consolidate NUC and N100's fewer devices.
5. Install 2x U6 Wall units. 6 Begin scoping Surveillance cameras. Torn between Synology and Unifi.

A ton.

1. Set up email and website hosting on a VPS to replace current setup
2. Get more solid state storage for my home server and finnish immich setup (import photos and all that)
3. Set up proper backups for the home server
4. Migrate current Unifi controller to home server
5. Local VPN server to access home assistant and other services even when travelling
6. Spend some time with my home assistant server, fine tune automations, add some more, add sensors and more controls, maybe add a wall mounted tablet for managing the thing and so on, it'll never end and need a visit or two from electrician too
7. Better isolation for IOT things on my network. I already have separate VLAN for them without internet access, but it's a bit incomplete project

And then "would be nice" stuff:

1. Switch Dahua NVR to something else. Current one works in a sense that it stores video, but movement tracking isn't really perfect and the whole individual NVR box is a bit lacking both in speed and in features
2. Replace the whole home server (currently running proxmox, which in itself is fine). It's a old server I got from work, and it does work, but it's not reundant and it's getting old. So something less power hungry and less noisy would be nice. It just asks some money and time, which I have neither in surplus, so we'll see.
3. Move home assistant from a raspberry pi to the home server. Maybe add zigbee capabilities next to z-wave and wifi.

And likely a ton more which I don't remember right now. Money and specially spare time to tinker are just lacking.

Be brave enough to test my backups

Considering my boot drive just died, backups. Also wanna get a fractal node 804 and cram tons of HDDs in it. Probably a new build with ecc as well. Perhaps transitioning current server to backup server. Also my directory structure for media is a jumbled mess of incomprehensible nonsense. I should fix that. Also I lost all my torrents that I was uploading but still have the media but can't keep seeding after the drive failure.

Might get around to tidying this 20-year-old mess up a bit - tho I'm not sure where to start lol.

I am not a proud man.

Goals: keep it running

Add some redundancy to it.

Find a way to copy my iCloud files to Nextcloud.

docker-ify everything, my nginx, nextcloud, pihole, jellyfin, and basically everything else is a nightmare and I can't even begin to understand how to modify the shit that ~~2023 me did~~ 2023 chatgpt spat out, so having everything in some neat docker composes is gonna help immensly

also making the Pi that everything's hosted on boot of an SSD instead of a cheap chinese SD card, but that requires money and I'm all out

Figure out why my new 10GbE NIC won’t read in my repurposed gaming rig (now server), get all my storage migrated over to Ceph, transition my services over to Proxmox hosted Talos k8s stack from my RPi-hosted k3s stack.

I want to make an sbc nas, as I dont need much. But finding the right sbc is hard, hoping the odroid h4+ will do the trick.

I just want jellyfin to organize media properly.

Permissions ok, it detects the fils in the software, then the folders are just empty. I know its my incompetence but been bashing my head against that wall a while.

Certain media categories fix 1 or two podcasts and then other categories break the ones that it fixed.

Naming conventions? Metadata? File types?

One day

Migrate from Unraid in a massive tower to a proper JBOD rig in a rack. Finally set up ARM SBC k8s cluster for most things alongside the old x86 hardware for a few services and running the NAS as I don't know how I'd hook that up to the SBCs.

Building a new, bigger, storage server using TrueNAS scale. I’ve been on CORE forever and it works well. Running out of space, though, and might as well upgrade the OS too.

Double Storage space (Done!)

Done for the year already!

Finally get a cheap mini PC so I can stop running my gaming rig 24/7 for jellyfin. Looking to start self hosting few other services if that goes well.

Actually have a decent backup system and data repetition

Harvester cluster my everything. I really want to play around with having my servers being stationary, a togo cluster (laptops, and UPS in a suit case), and PC all in the same cluster.

Right now they are all segmented rke2 clusters, but Harvester should make running vms way easier too.

Second NAS - I've filled up the first one.

• Deprecate the Raspberry Pi entry point for incoming traffic, move to NUC instead.
• Switch from PiHole to Adguard
• Move IoT equipment to separate VLAN

I need to get off ESXi and onto....Proxmox i guess. Xcp-ng is great except no virtual network switches.

Buy a home.
