Almost forgot before going to bed but I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.
Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I upgraded immich without breaking everything. That’s always reason to celebrate.
I’m currently looking to connect an NVMe SSD to a Pi 4 I have in a differences location to finally have proper 3-2-1 backups. I’m trying to find a NVMe to USB adapter that will work though.
Had a hard drive fail my main zfs array. First time I have experienced a disk failure so it was a bit worrying. Thankfully I had added an additional drive to expand the array so I was able to quickly rebuild to that drive. Currently shopping for a replacement. From now on I think I will keep a cold spare just in case this happens again. I just wish hard drives would stop increasing in price.
You save some money by buying recertified drives from Serverpartdeals.
I finally moved from reddit to Lemmy. maybe a 3-4 hour set up time to get it all working lol.
Cool! Which installation method did you use?
I did manual docker. I host some other things as well, so running it through nginx proxy manager that I already had set up.
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?
Short answer, yes I removed the nginx container from the lemmy compose file. I followed this guide if it helps: https://www.reddit.com/r/nginxproxymanager/comments/1485y0d/getting_lemmy_running_with_a_separate_nginx_proxy/
Immich. Wanted to exclusively use the external libraries features in read only.
Set it up once in its own Proxmox LXC under Docker. Set it up all properly started scanning my entire library. And when I woke up again it had crashed and I couldn’t recover it.
Started over the following morning and only gave it access to 2024 instead of everything. And it filled up to 30gb/40gb I gave it with thumbnails and files and such. Guess it crashed the other day because it took up too much room.
Guess I’ll start over again, and ensure all the config files and thumbnails are stored on my NAS so they can take up the space they need to without overloading the main (small SSD) on my server.
Just swapped VPS hosts from ssdnodes to MassiveGRID. Got a pretty sweet deal, so I’m pretty excited.
Got my services transferred over this week and it’s been fun as hell. It’s interesting because I was discussing Portainer with my buddy and he has Portainer on his local PC to connect to his remote instances and with hindsight it sounds obvious of course, but it’s such a nice little setup. Just finished setting up my Jellyfin reverse proxy so I’m gonna watch a movie and chill.
I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.
What does biweekly mean to you? Twice a week, or once every two weeks? If it’s the latter, I prefer to use fortnightly, since it’s not ambiguous.
Yeah, nobody other than Brits use fortnightly anymore.
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 have always heard bi-weekly be every other week, and semi-weekly be twice a week
Pushed Wireguard back onto my network. I’ve been a Tailscale user for a couple of years, but never really saw the need for it for me as I’m the only user of the service. :)
I will freely admit though, there’s nothing wrong with the service and honestly is great if you are behind a CGNAT router or don’t want to use Cloudflare for your tunneling.
I’ve been working on some bash scripts to help manage my media files. I’ve been slowly working on learning more bash and I’m pretty pleased with my progress. After I finish this bash book I’m reading (can’t remember the title atm), I think I’m gonna jump into awk.
Since it’s winter and I mostly don’t want to leave my house, I busted out an unused Raspberry Pi 4b a couple weeks ago. Started with CasaOS and AdGuard. Have now added a few other services including Navidrome to serve up a lot of local-area music for myself and friends. Got a Cloudflare tunnel set up, then some authentication through CF as well. And finally secured a static IP from my ISP. This is the farthest along I’ve ever gotten with any of this and it’s been going great. Nearly every hurdle I’ve encountered I’ve been able to work through.
Two things causing me grief today though:
-
I also have Nextcloud hosted on a VPS and I cannot get to the point of running occ commands. First it wasn’t found, then no php cli, then just errors. I gave up.
-
I’m using Homer because it’s just so simple, but the theming and CSS is driving me nuts. Sure, I can change colors, but will this little bar in the neon theme change from 4em to 100% for me? NOPE. Override fonts? Nosir. All good though.
-
I plan on setting up the *arr suite and getting rid of Netflix, Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime and Disney+
Many issues this week:
- Broke external-dns on my kube cluster because I updated my Pihole to v6
- Thinking of a way to expose a game server externally (usually used CF tunnels for specific services, but couldn’t get it to work cause it’s TCP/UDP and not HTTP traffic)
But at least i got my Velero backups working on an private S3
I’m setting up Seafile and trying to swap everything from docker to podman. The longer term goal is that once everything is on podman, I’ll get a new NVME drive and install MicroOS so I can retire my old SATA SSD (I’ve had it for 10 years or so, across 3 PCs).
I’m also considering setting up Forgejo and getting a worker to build my Rust projects.
I’ve had two failed harddrives in the last month. Not sure if bad batch or what. Thankfully the order these were on only were the two drives so may not see more. They are under warranty but it’s still a pain!
Otherwise I’m enjoying Mealie lately for my recipes. Kinda nice having them all in one place but accessible by anyone in the house.
A third, and hopefully final attempt at getting an iredmail setup going. SPF, DKIM & DMARC all checking out fine. It’s actually working this time. Need to get the ISP to change our PTR record though, last bit of the puzzle.
Also picked up a used negate device, so we now have pfsense fronting everything. That’s allowed me to move the original router to a better location and put it in AP mode.
Emby media server moved off a Synology and into a proxmox container. Finally, we can stream high def with the hardware acceleration we weren’t getting before.
