What do you use to manage operating system images for installation on new laptops and workstations?
I’m wanting to create a centralized repository to keep base images of operating systems to be installed on new laptops or workstations bought/used in my household with my local CA already installed, configured to authenticate with my local FreeIPA instance, network configurations already configured, etc....
Networking Help
I just installed a mesh WiFi network in addition to my ISP-provided router that could barely reach upstairs. I had some locally hosted services set up as per Mediabox. All containers were set up with my machine IP(?) 192.xxx.x.xx and were working great inside my network, which is all I wanted to do while I’m learning. I...
OMV5 issues, can I install something else for temporary server administration?
Hi all you smart lads and lasses, My home server is currently running openmediavault 5 and the admin panel will not load anymore. I’m unable to run omv-repair or any of their similar commands, so I’ve been keeping it up-to-date with ash and apt....
What's your preference for a text chat server (e.g. IRC/XMPP/Matrix/Zulip/etc.)?
There seem to be plentiful options for text chat servers, so I’m curious for those that self-host their own, what their preferences & experiences have been with them....
Lightweight paperless-ngx alternative?
As much as I adore paperless-ngx for its UX, I hate it for its tech-stack. Idling it already uses 300 MB RAM, when changing a few metadata fields on a document it easily spikes to 700 oder 800 MB. That’s insane for the work it actually does. Is there anything more lightweight? All I need is metadata management and a gallery...
Is RackNerd reliable?
I see some very good deals on RackNerd through LowEndbox. Is the company reliable? I.e. I’m hoping there’s not going to be a situation like NexusBytes. Could someone confirm?

Amount of RJ45 Ports on Home Server?
I’m in the process of designing a home server and am curious how many ethernet ports are required at minimum and how many people recommend. The single board computer (SBC) I plan to use has two built in and has a pcie slot to add four more if necessary. If I don’t need the four extra I’d like to use the pcie slot for a...
Auto import transactions to financial manager by parsing bank emails–– a sanity check
I’ve been after that golden goose of auto-imported transactions from my US banks into a selfhosted financial manager for some time now. Plaid doesn’t work with some of my banks, and comes with a slew of privacy compromises anyway. I’m looking to import transactions into firefly iii (or actualbudget) by scraping information...

IPv6 for home lab
Is anybody using only IPv6 in their home lab? I keep running into weird problems where some services use only IPv6 and are “invisible” to everyone (I’m looking at you, Java!) I end up disabling IPv6 to force everything to the same protocol, but I started wondering, “why not disable IPv4 instead?” I’d have half as...
TTRPG Players and DMs, what's in your self hosted toolbox?
Personally I’m running Foundry and have been meaning to spin up Owlbear 1.0 now that it’s self hostable - but I feel like there’s more i could be doing. Is anyone aware of a self hostable character sheet/character builder? I suppose i could go next cloud for storing folders and files but I don’t think anyone would use it...

Port 80 inexplicably working again
On August 21, my Yunohost server, which I keep in my house, started warning we that port 80 was inaccessible from the Internet. None of my sites use port 80, so everything kept working, but I was concerned because I knew that my Let’s Encrypt certificate would fail to automatically renew if I didn’t fix the problem....
