Selfhosted

Set up an instance of Supabase for an application I'm building that needs a REST backend. So far, so good, using it's Auth functions for OTP login and they work well.

I've been looking into airtable alternatives. Came across teable, which I liked, but it doesn't seem production ready. 🤔

I have yet again broke a Nextcloud server By trying to upgrade it (from 27 to 30) . Even after hours of debug i’ll have to remake it from scratch ….again

I've been slowly, but steadily, migrating the services I run on my TrueNAS CORE (FreeBSD) from Jails to Debian VMs so I can migrate to TrueNAS 25 (no more SCALE it seems, and Linux) around April without many hurdles, hopefully.

Besides having to learn some systemd, it has been a smooth ride.

Now I'm down to the last 2 services, which I think are the most complicated setups I have and with no nice deb packages to ease installation: Paperless-ngx and Photoprism.

I'll probably look into playing with Containers (LXC/Incus) to have the same lightweight and efficiency as Jails once the migration to Linux is done. But honestly, if everything is running nicely, I won't be very motivated to do so, let's see.

Recently set up OliveTin on a pi zero w for some automation scripts I wan to be able to trigger from my mobile. I'm loving it.

I don’t have a technical issue at the moment.. financial one 🤣

I store my data on an OLD my book Live 3TB HDD. Runs fine but it’s getting full now, and the day it decides to shut down I don’t have any backups.

So I want to buy at least a 2 bays RAID1 array.

I’ll plug it on my server directly, and that would become my NAS.

Maybe two 6TB drives, so I’ll double my existing storage?

I just setup a local llm with open webui and lm studio using qwen 2.5 coder 7b as the model, gonna test it this week.

Had Jellyseer break on me again on Truenas scale, something about a jellyfin API blah blah blah. Decided that Sonarr and Radarr are fine enough to interface with that I don't need it and deleted the image.

Adding a second vdev today to my primary pool running on Scale. New vdev will be 12TB by 4 wide, with existing at 10TB by 5 wide. Drives are all 7,200 RPM enterprise grade, CRM drives.

May also add a second pool with the drives from my previous build which would be 10TB by 4 wide. These drives are 5,400 RPM so I would not use them in my primary pool.

Also, Noctua sent me a bracket (at no charge) so I can correct the orientation of the CPU fan to be facing front to back (currently left to right). I also have a couple 80mm fans and a 120mm fan to add to the server case. Once all of that is in place I hope to start running Ldarr against my libraries without CPU temps hitting 95°C.

This year has been my first foray into self hosting in general. I have been doing a lot of learning and have a long way to go but have got to the point where I have proxmox running with a few VMs running an arr stack, a jellyfin server and a Plex server.

I'm just super happy to get everything running and now need to fine tune stuff. Currently trying to figure out why the Plex server is down half the time externally.

I'm having a lot of fun!

I bought a coral tpu and setup frigate. I've been tweaking the alerts and motions. Moving home assistant notifications from reolink to frigate. Was thinking of singing up for frigate+ for additional animal objects. Has anyone signed up for frigate+? Is it worth it?

Still haven't properly set up my backups ... Have my Nextcloud on a zfs (single disk sadly) and want to send it to a server at my parents place (also zfs) but both are behind NAT. While I've successfully set up wireguard between the two, but the connection won't stay up so there's still a ways to go till I got a happy off-site Backup.

Tried to setup custom domains using Nginx Proxy Manager and Let's Encrypt DNS-01 challenges so I wouldn't have to open any ports and it worked!... except not really?

Proxy Manager shows everything was successful but the domains don't go anywhere. It seems to be because the TP-Link router from my ISP does DNS Rebinding protection... with no option to turn it off apparently... why......

So now I don't know where to go. I'm not really fancying hosting DNS myself but if I can't fix this any other way then I guess I'll do it. Or maybe I should ditch the ISP TP-Link and get something I could flash OpenWRT on?
