selfhosted

Previously using 2 synology devices - one at my home location for NAS duties and another at a remote location for an off-site backup destination. I had a small army of nucs doing various hosting things. This worked well. But as many who self host can appreciate - just because it works doesn’t mean you can’t burn it all down...

I’m planning to buy Smart TVs for my house and I wanted to know which TV OS has better support for homelab media apps....

I’ve been interested in building a DIY NAS out of an SBC for a while now. Not as my main NAS but as a backup I can store offsite at a friend or relative’s house. I know any old x86 box will probably do better, this project is just for the fun of it....

I just installed apt cacher ng for catching my apt upgrade packages and saw a huge time improvement even though I have a good internet connection. It act as a proxy and caches the response packages....

Hi Everyone,...

I have my home network behind a wireguard VPN connection. The wireguard “server” is run on a debian computer and the home network is handled by an opnsense computer....

TLDR:...

This Topton-brand mini-ITX motherboard on AliExpress seems like a pretty decent choice for an Opnsense/Pfsense-based home router setup. It has four Intel 2.5gbe ports, an integrated 10W TDP CPU, and way more storage options than necessary for my use case....

TL;DR: I want to keep my containers up to date, currently Portainer based compose files updated by renovate. How do you do it?...

Faulty peripheral power supply killed my server a little over a day ago....

I know that I can use 3rd party services to set up a tunnel, like Cloudflare, but I’d like to implement this myself....

Hi!...

I’m looking to try something new. I’m bored with Jellyfin. Anyone have any good alternatives I can have a good play with over the weekend?

I’d asked about using a VPS to get better routing to my homelab in this post: lemmy.world/post/1424540...

Are there instances that run modified versions of the base Lemmy software? For example, that use their own sorting algorithms, or provide users ways to block instances or specific users, etc?...

Does anyone know a good RTSP stream viewer app for iOS? I’m looking For something to view my IP cameras. Everything I’m finding is free for a limited amount of cameras, or has a yearly subscription. Figured I’d ask you other self hosted to see if anyone else has any good recommendations.

What is everyone using for their logging solution? So far I’ve not really done anything and just tail the container log when something is going wrong but a more long term, robust log aggregator would be great....

I currently use Grafana to view how all sorts of stuff changes over time. It gets the job done, but is far from ideal:...

I currently have a server running Arch Linux and Jellyfin, one Raspberry Pi 4 running NextCloudPi and one Raspi running Pi-hole. Eventually I want to host all and more services on one maschine....

Hey y’all! First time trying to self-host something, I started with a local Nextcloud instance for me and my family to use. I just wanted to make sure that no outsiders can enter the instance (access it or its files) through a browser on another connection....

I’m having a play about with Yacy today. I have had the thoughts that it would be great to have the possibility to search through my paperless-ngx documents. Is it doable?? Has anyone got it working??

Hi there, I’m trying to set up AdGuard home and it doesn’t seem to work properly. Maybe I’m getting it wrong on how it’s supposed to work, but I’m kinda confused right now and it seems to me than Win11 is lying to me about my DNS entries …...

Hi, I figured out how to get docker containers to join an existing network with putting “networks” into the respective sections of the docker-compose.yml...

All guides to deploy using docker mention typing your keys/credentials/secrets into the docker compose file, or use a .env or similar file, I’m wondering how secure is this and if there’s a better option....

I'm trying to figure out how to stop having to unblock the pihole, in order to bypass cookie consent alerts. I think this is a devious new attempt by the advertising brigade to ensure that adverts are played, but more and more cookie consent blockers are not working properly if you've got an adblocker, and as I've got one at the...
