selfhosted

Hello, today I would like to announce the creation of a mattermost group “Casual Selfhosters”....

I’ve got 3 HDDs connected to my Proxmox machine via usb3. They worked fine until this week. I have them mounted and passed through to OMV....

I’ve been trying to get hardware acceleration working on rootless containers of Plex and Jellyfin and I can’t get it to work the proper way....

I will be located in a country where the Internet is EXTREMELY controlled and filtered. Not sure if I can even bring my current router with me(seems forbidden), so turning my RPi4 seems a good idea… Don’t you think?

I’ve just discovered OmniGPT that seems to be a chat where you can interact with different LLM (Claude, GPT-4, Llama, Gemini, etc.) and costs $16/month (it was $7/month until a week ago 🤦‍♂️). I’ve read on a Reddit post that it uses the APIs of all the provider that is a thing that can be done for free using a...

I’m currently using the blocklists included with unbound in opnsense on a mini PC and I have used pihole on a pi which now operates my 3d printers instead. I haven’t tried any of the other network wide options. Has anyone made any blog posts or similar detailing performance testing of different options?...

Back when I was even less experienced in self-hosting I setup my media/backup server using a RAIDZ1 array and 3 x 8TB disks. It’s been running well for a while and I haven’t had any problems and no disk errors....

Weekly share. As usual, not my blog, just a good community share. Authors are on Mastodon at [email protected].

I thought I’d share my experience doing this, as it was quite a pain, and maybe this will help someone else. It contains the process I took to set it all up, and the workarounds, and solutions that I found along the way....

Hands down, I’m way too late to the party with my backup-strategy, and I have no good explanation....

So, i have a NextCloud instance running, with the data directory binded to a folder on my storage. Now, when ik want to list or edit the contents of this folder directly from Nautilus or the terminal, I get a permission denied message. Obviously i do not have sufficent rights. How do i give myself permissions to at least view...

I have an aging gaming desktop with a GTX 970 that I’ve previously used to let friends/family stream games. My area has a lot of fiber so it’s surprisingly usable, even got VR working. Problem is, I’d prefer to use it as a NAS most the time as it has plenty of drive bays and I need somewhere better to run jellyfin than my...

There does not seem to exist like a single, complete solution for this that everyone agrees is the way to go… or maybe I did not look hard enough....

I am having issues with Jellyfin not finding ffmpeg on FreeBSD. Is there any solution to this?

I have a client with locally hosted security cameras. There is a DVR box that has a port open and a 3rd party app you can view the cameras from. Traditionally we have been forwarding the port to the WAN via the router there. Its a restaraunt btw....

Hi, my current setup is the following...

I am a bit befuddled over what the best practices are for an internet connected or local server running the *arr stack....

Ok so the solution was this. Thank you @mouse...

Installed a new debian server, installed docker, but then now i have a problem with permissions on passed directories....

Hi friends. I’m new to the whole homeserver. I managed to make a ton of progress very quickly using CasaOS but I’ve been hung up on this for a couple of days now....

I only download 1080p unless it’s something like LOTR that I’ll splurge on space for. A comedy doesn’t need spectacular visual fidelity....

I work in tech and am constantly finding solutions to problems, often on other people’s tech blogs, that I think “I should write that down somewhere” and, well, I want to actually start doing that, but I don’t want to pay someone else to host it....

Hey folks,...

I followed this guide: notthebe.ee/blog/easy-ssl-in-homelab-dns01/...

Hello, Im trying to monitor & control my dns in my network. I like the idea & features of nextdns but all your traffic goes trough them right? I wanna host something simular. I currently have pi-hole installed but i feel like its not as advanced as something like nextdns. What service could i use for this? Thanks for your time!
