How’s your stuff doing? Unplanned interruptions or achieving uptime records?
I’m currently sailing rather smooth. Most of my stuff is migrated to Komodo, there will stay some exceptions and I only have to migrate Lemmy itself I think. Of course that’s when I found a potential replacement but I’ll let it sit for a while before touching it again. Enjoying the occasional Merge Request notification from the Renovate Bot and knowing my stuff is mostly up to date.
I’m thinking about setting up some kind of Wiki for my other niche hobby (Netrunner LCG) lore as there’s a fandom one that most people avoid touching and updating but since I likely won’t have time to start writing some articles on my own as a kickoff I’m hesitant. Also not sure which wiki I’d choose as well.

Trying to smoothly orchestrate prowlarr, radarr, jellyfin, and transmission (via Proton vpn), using a big beautiful docker compose file. It’s been working OK but not without roadbumbs and tough learnings. Keep messing up directory permissions one way or another.
Next step is setting up fail2ban on my public facing jellyfin to control things a little better. Everything is hosted at home, and I don’t want to use cloud flare tunnels, are streaming video is technically not allowed in them.
If you have more good tips on securing a home server, let me know!
Also, this is all running on an ancient 2012 mac mini running Ubuntu. Slow as molasses and sometimes the fans make a noise. I should start looking into back-up solutions, at least for the configs.
Bought my first raspberry pi 5, 8 gb ram version. Gonna be using it to run a jellyfin server and maybe a foundry server if it can handle both concurrently. Anyone familiar enough to know if running multiple things on one of these is wise?
Running multiple things in one host is perfectly fine. The more you have, the more complicated dependencies will become. Tool A needing PHP < 8 and tool B needing PHP 9 can be handled but is a headache.
That’s why many people are using containers, specifically Docker. Each tool brings their own dependencies that are running isolated. Not sharing dependencies is more resource intensive but easier to handle.
I’m not running the tools you mentioned but probably they list their resources requirements. I suggest you to check containers/Docker and consider using them instead of installing the tools natively.
Ah, docker is a name I’d heard hanging around the lemmy space. I looked into it a little and couldn’t figure out what its usecase was, but that makes a fair bit of sense, thanks
Bad week for me. Tandoor had become the home of quite a lot of recipes, and well, I’m never gonna just pull a docker container again without a backup, cause I did a pull and the bastard stopped working.
So I setup Django and got started doing my own recipe server cause I was never very enthused about Tandoor, too much netflix-like Presentation bullshit and did not allow for the very simple thing I wanted, which was, a compact list of my recipes by alphabet that I can swiftly click on the one I want.
I also need to get my Python chops back cause I think there will be jobs again, soon enough.
Meanwhile, anyone got any suggestions of a better recipe app? Needs to run as a Linux server, that’s about it. I can go Tailscale if it has no security. If I get mine to something usable I’ll make it available.
Mealie is far superior to Tandoor,imho.
Made some changes to my I2P router today, but otherwise all good.
Pretty smooth sailing at the moment. I’ve got:
- sonarr
- radarr
- jackett
- bazarr
- transmission
- kuma uptime
- grafana
- promethius
- blackbox
- mastodon
- traefik
- authelia
- forgejo
- immich
- syncthing
All running on a 4 node raspberry pi kubernetes cluster.
Changed my family dashboard from magic mirror to a home assistant dashboard. I’m missing some cute things, but the major functions work better, and I get some options that I didn’t before.
Burning the midnight oil on my self hosted journal app: https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app
Oh hey I just thought about setting up a journal! Maybe I’ll check it out
Definitely!
Certainly not my homelab as my server isn’t booting since a few weeks ago and I didn’t fix it yet…
Oh no!
I have been experimenting with a btrfs raid array and am getting some new hard drives in the mail today, hoping it goes smoothly and they work 😬 All part of a larger goal of migrating my synology NAS to a purpose built machine.
Also got my first contribution and donation on my OIDC SSO project, which is really exciting!
Ey! congrats for the donation. I hope your personal project succeeds!
Purchased 5 1tb drives to expand my study server. Going from 600GB to 4TB is going to make more complex labs possible.
docker-ce v29 update somehow messed up my homelab so badly that I had to downgrade to v28 to restore my system.
Good to know 🫣
That was awful. Had to restore from backup.
I’ve finally setup Netbird instead of Tailscale to VPN to my network. Took some time since I wanted it to work with pocket-id and had some issues configuring everything properly. Runs like a charm now.
I’ve just finished to configure my homelab with wg-easy yesterday to do exactly that. Took me weeks because podman. And now I learn that there was a better way? Oh well…
Evening is going ok, but noticed the screen saver on jellyfin isn’t showing up lately… need to investigate…
Also, watched the latest “Explaining Computers” episode today.
Had a productive session this weekend migrating my promtail config to grafana Alloy and setting up a syslog receiver to capture output from my cron jobs. Next up I’ll be messing with some scripts to sync my dashboard config across several instances which should be pretty neat if it works
I recently switched my phone from Android to GrapheneOS and now rely even more on my selfhosted services. Immich is such a great project. Still gotta figure out my music collection though, since switching from YT Music to Jellyfin. Most of it is sorted by date of purchase, because that worked best with my DJ workflow. Now I gotta bring it over to a folder structure that works for jellyfin. It seems like the answer is musicbrainz Picard, but I gotta figure out how to configure it.
Also been thinking about some AI ideas I’d like to try, but I have zero intention getting involved with openai, meta, google or whoever the fuck. So self hosting it is. But on what hardware? Option 1 seems to be to get some professional server board, CPU, ram and start with one RTX3090 and go from there with the option to hook up more GPUs. But a setup like that sounds like it would cost some serious money in electricity. Option 2 seems to be a Rzyen AI Max+ 395, configured with a fuckton of ram, available to the whole apu and as suchs usable for memory hungry models. This seems to be much much more power efficient. But its all integrated and I couldn’t swap out components or upgrade in the future. Leaning towara option 2 atm, but maybe I’ll just wait a bit longer and see what else comes up in the coming months.
I ended up using navidrome for my music to take advantage of the subsonic API, which has been phenomenal 🙂
I’ve just finished ripping about 1300 CDs. I used Jellyfin for a bit since I already had it set up for my video library, but I wasn’t happy with the Android options and it was pretty basic.
Navidrome is a fucking TREAT. Paired with Symfonium, I’m finally enjoying my personal music collection regularly again.
As for tagging, OP, while I get why people like Picard, it doesn’t always work with how I like to do things. I put everything into a music folder on my desktop, use Mp3Tag to retrieve metadata, edit what I need, and make sure the artwork is decent and sized where I want it. Then I use the tag > filename to organize and move them to my NAS.
Navidrome
I’ve found Navidrome to be quite capable of handling large music collections. I was worried in the beginning. It sips resources. When I fire it up and listen remotely, I watch the CPU and RAM. It barely moves the needle. Very happy with it.
Nice… I use ytdl-sub for downloading music, highly recommend it. You can write tag metadata but if you want embedded stuff I’d recommend trying beets. Running both as a user whose primary group matches Jellyfin is a must if you want stuff saved next to the video files… The dev is also very active.
I just installed Ollama and use gemma3 for now. I wanted to use dolphin-mixtral but holy crap it wants more RAM than my entire setup

This is basically what I’ve found with self hosted AI. I just don’t have the equipment for it. Would love to be able to host a selfcontained LLM, but alas, as you say, it eats up resources. FEED ME MAURICE!
