lemme know if you need some tshooting remotely, if schedules permit, we can do screenshares

apigban , to selfhosted in Proxmox VM's hanging when one has issues

I had this issue when I used kubernetes, sata SSDs cant keep up, not sure what Evo 980 is and what it is rated for but I would suggest shutting down all container IO and do a benchmark using fio.

my current setup is using proxmox, rusts configured in raid5 on a NAS, jellyfin container.

all jf container transcoding and cache is dumped on a wd750 nvme, while all media are store on the NAS (max. BW is 150MBps)

you can monitor the IO using IOstat once you’ve done a benchmark.

I’d check high I/O wait, specially if your all of the vms are on HDDs.

one of the solution I had for this issue was to have multiple DNS servers. solved it by buying a raspberry pi zero w and running a 2nd small instance of pihole there. I made sure that the piZeroW is plugged on a separate circuit in my home.

apigban , to selfhosted in Amount of RJ45 Ports on Home Server?

i didnt have a problem with network ports (I use a switch) what I shouldve considered during purchasing was the number of drives (sata ports), pcie features (bifurcation, version, number of nvme slots)

I need to do high IOPs for my research now and I am stuck with raid0 commodity SSDs in 3 ports.

apigban , to technology in How does school management work on a personal Chromebook?

ex-IT? what do you do now?

I heard so many stories about school IT, I’ve never been on one though. the most baffling thing I heard from coworkers that came from usual office IT and moved to school IT was that there was no respect for the profession and the amount of entitlement from users are really un imaginable.

apigban , to selfhosted in Keep Oracle from deleteing free tier account/vps?

I’m running a PBS instance (plus networking containers) for 4years now, cc on file for the first 2 years, now on file, but my usecase is operating within the free-forever tier.

My instance has not been deleted by them, though I’ve rebuilt the multiple times since.

The region you are on might be struggling with capacity issues, I use middle east region and never encountered account/vm deletions (yet). For my case, latency isnt an issue so i dont mind having it ona far away region.

The job security.

Fiber. Yum.

Hello! I’m a hobbyist in this space (scripting/coding), does anyone here have a:

  • gold standard of what commit messages should look like?
  • common practice/etiquette for commit message?

I never had a team or guide or mentor and when I saw this i felt that my commits are like smoke signals describing that there’s a fire. which isnt really helpful.

I tried to contribute to a python module that I use daily, my PR was so over engineered (iirc i added just 3 lines, but with tests, screenshots, CI/CD) i think to compensate for my lack of experience that I got called out (“wow this is pretty extreme just for that feature”).

apigban , to selfhosted in How do you deal with malicious requests to your servers?

Depends on what kind of service the malicious requests are hitting.

Fail2ban can be used for a wide range of services.

I don’t have a public facing service (except for a honeypot), but I’ve used fail2ban before on public ssh/webauth/openvpn endpoint.

For a blog, you might be well served by a WAF, I’ve used modsec before, not sure if there’s anything that’s newer.

apigban , to selfhosted in If you had to redo your self hosting setup, what would you do differently this time around?

I’d make my own nas.

apigban , to pics in Here's a picture of the Orion nebulae I took [OC]

It seems to be an expensive hobby based on my initial searches in amazon. high barrier to entry but I think I can make it work in 2 years.

I do self hosting/de-googling/homelab but my daughter is too young to be involved in it, I think astrophotography would be a good thing for us.

I fell in love with the thought of seeing things beyond, my daughter loves learning about satellites and space trash (I’m not sure why exactly).

Thank you!

apigban , to selfhosted in In over my head

I agree with this, what I suggested is not a best practice, I should preface my post with that.

And I feel your pain! I get calls that are extremes, like people putting too much security where the ticket is “P1 everything is down, fly every engineer here” for an nACL/SG they created.

The other extreme is that deliberate exposure of services to the public internet (other service providers send us an email and ask us to do something about it, but not our monkeys, shared responsibility, etc).
