Selfhosted

I finally set up Joplin server. It is a revelation after too long using Syncthing to sync databases. I wasn't able to use Joplin on Android anymore- the sync to file system had gotten too slow. Now everything syncs pretty much instantly!

Anyone know how to set up NPM on truenas scale? I've spent all day trying to get my SSL certs and it fails every damn time. Just says the donation is unknown or that it can't find my npm install 😮‍💨

I'm using a freedns domain tho so maybe I'm gonna need to try buying a domain.

I've got a project to look forward to. Have my Proxmox server with a UPS, running NUT to watch the battery percentage and power down gracefully if the % gets too low. I have Home Assistant watching that so it's supposed to notify me before that happens. It's not notifying me though, so I gotta look into that. I know it's not working this morning because the power went out, so now I'm just sitting here theorizing instead of actually looking at it. 🙃

I'm trying to figure out why truenas scale refuses to auto start virtual machines... Other than that everything's smooth atm :>

Finished setting up an email server and am now looking into a matrix nextcloud bridge. Doesn't seem to exist, so I guess I'm writing one.

I've been looking into airtable alternatives. Came across teable, which I liked, but it doesn't seem production ready. 🤔

I have yet again broke a Nextcloud server By trying to upgrade it (from 27 to 30) . Even after hours of debug i’ll have to remake it from scratch ….again

So I recently sandboxed a webapp I am getting ready to launch.

Basically Unifi switch > Vlan port > Server > Hosting Webapp instances, worker instance, cloudflared and DBs.

Pretty chuffed at the docker config actually. Just configuring my WAF and tunnel settings with Cloudflare to reduce the scanning from VPS providers. Anyone have a solution or will I need to configure some sort of nginx instance to do it as Cloudflare only allows a certain length for each WAF rule for free.

Side thought, does anyone know of a tutorial for CICD to auto build my containers and deploy? I've been reading github and codeberg docs and playing around to no avail. I'm temped to just write a go script to handle it on my server.

Set up pi-hole on my network and I’m realizing it clashes with my VPN on my desktop and private relay on my Apple devices lol. Progress everywhere else though?

I just setup a local llm with open webui and lm studio using qwen 2.5 coder 7b as the model, gonna test it this week.

Adding a second vdev today to my primary pool running on Scale. New vdev will be 12TB by 4 wide, with existing at 10TB by 5 wide. Drives are all 7,200 RPM enterprise grade, CRM drives.

May also add a second pool with the drives from my previous build which would be 10TB by 4 wide. These drives are 5,400 RPM so I would not use them in my primary pool.

Also, Noctua sent me a bracket (at no charge) so I can correct the orientation of the CPU fan to be facing front to back (currently left to right). I also have a couple 80mm fans and a 120mm fan to add to the server case. Once all of that is in place I hope to start running Ldarr against my libraries without CPU temps hitting 95°C.

This year has been my first foray into self hosting in general. I have been doing a lot of learning and have a long way to go but have got to the point where I have proxmox running with a few VMs running an arr stack, a jellyfin server and a Plex server.

I'm just super happy to get everything running and now need to fine tune stuff. Currently trying to figure out why the Plex server is down half the time externally.

I'm having a lot of fun!

I don’t have a technical issue at the moment.. financial one 🤣

I store my data on an OLD my book Live 3TB HDD. Runs fine but it’s getting full now, and the day it decides to shut down I don’t have any backups.

So I want to buy at least a 2 bays RAID1 array.

I’ll plug it on my server directly, and that would become my NAS.

Maybe two 6TB drives, so I’ll double my existing storage?
