This looks really awesome. While I manage my servers mostly through ssh, having the occasional file system mount just a click away would definitely be more convenient.

I’d use Terraform and Ansible from the start. I’m slowly migrating my current setup to these tools, but that’s obviously harder than starting from scratch. At least I did document everything in some way. That documentation plus state on the server is definitely enough to do this transition.

Well, most projects publish their dockerfiles so you could take ans rebuild them with the tags you want. And all the building can be built into a CI/CD pipeline so you just have to make a new push with the latest versions.

I should make something like that.

Just look at how well the steam version runs.

I did not know you could just source a PKGBUILD. I’m certain I’ll remember this instead of the correct makepkg flag to run this ot the other stage only.

I guess my favourite show is 2.5admins.
My other regular listens are Late Night Linux and all the other podcast in that family.

Newcomers are The Homelab Show and Linux Lads.

Honorable mention to Jupiter Broadcasting especially Selfhosted, I just had to stop listening for a while because the Boosts jingle they had for a bit started to annoy me.

I’m using crestic to make backups easier to configure.
It makes configuring different backup targets very easy with a simple ini-style config file.

No luck getting my Lemmy instance up and running, is this a good place to get some help?

I’m not exactly a linux beginner but I’m far from an expert and I could use some pointers. I have a domain and a VPS through Namecheap, I chose Ubuntu 20.04 LAMP and I’ve tried several guides to get this working but something always goes wrong sooner or later....

Can you edit the post title to say [Solved] or something so others know there’s a solution here?

Still running Gitea here, but if Forgejo can actually pull ahead I might rethink switching.
It started with the intention of a soft fork, so all this might also land in Gitea.

The danger with any backup not based on direct disk snapshots is that files will be captured at different times. You can’t know what changed and while that might be fixable or not relevant in some cases, it can lead to broken save games in other cases.

Classic testing in prod

Lemmy uses multiple different containers, you have to throw all of them into the same container network to get connections between them working.

AIO containers are generally not recommended.

Nextcloud News, if you already have Nextcloud set up. There’s also an Android app for it that connects to the server.

Would you guys be able to make use of an acronym helper bot?

Hi, I’m the maintainer of Decronym. You may have come across Decronym on the aliensite, especially in the spaceflight communities; it picks up on comments that contain acronyms (that are in its database), and drops a helpful top-level comment on the thread that it keeps up to date as more acronyms get used....

Sure, it could help keep the a11y hight in this community.

Maybe have a look at this ArchWiki page. This describes how you can check for all supported idle methods and provides further links to go more in-depth.

Even without the racist connotations in the US it’s a weird name.
Obviously not as bad though

exu ,

Do you have any good guides for doing that with containers?

Jellyfin is a fork from when Emby went closed source.

Isn’t it supposed to be from your device’s perspective?
An RX on your side would be TX on the other.

What happened? Source?

Meh, I think one’s way sunnier than the other.

If you want to have a single node hosting your storage, ZFS either directly or through TrueNAS is the way to go. ECC is not really necessary.

If you do want to have a higher availability and as you have 3 potential nodes already I can recommend Ceph. It’s pretty much THE open source network storage provider and has been battle tested a lot. With Ceph you can define how you want redundancy configured, but I haven’t gone into that enough to tell you what to do.
As long as 2/3 nodes are up you won’t have problems, but less nodes will lead to either a broken cluster or split brain scenario if you’re not careful.
Not sure how Ceph handles nodes with mismatched drives, I only tested using the same number and size of drives. Maybe you’d have to get two more drives for your other nodes.

Re RAID: At the moment RAID 6 does not offer any advantage over RAID 10, so you could go with that instead. RAID 10 would provide higher performance, but future upgrades need to be done in pairs of 2 disks.
RAID 5 is okish, but with 20TB you’re looking at very long restore times and the likelyhood of failure is very high during the restore and it’s very likely you’ll have a half finished restore when a second drive fails.
See this article for an explaination. (The same issue also applies to RAID 6, but the drives can be bigger as you have 2 redundant drives. Regardless, RAID 10 doesn’t have this problem due to being so simple)

The only thing Emacs lacks is a good editor.

Thankfully Evil-mode exists.

Modders shouldn’t have to fix Bethesda’s mess. And I don’t trust Bethesda.
