I have an UPS with two 12v 7ah lead batteries. If I want to change the batteries I would typically go with lead batteries but here's my question, can I use some portable mobile power banks to use it?

Because I have a 20000mah "INUI" lithium power bank that is rated for 12v at 1.5A, is it a good practice to buy several of these (since they are about 20 bucks) disassemble them and use them as ups batteries?

EDIT : clarifications

I've got a used riello ups recently and it was not working since the beginning. The UPS was switching to batteries most of the time, but sometimes it just don't switch to batteries and makes a continuous beep (riello manual tells that it's a UPS fault anything except an overload).

I left it 2 weeks without using it. But know it won't start at all. Don't have the materials to test components for now but what are your ideas? (Even when plugged in the wall it wouldn't start)

Maybe batteries or faulty ups

Thx

Since the recent Proton events I need to change providers and I found RiseUP.

I would like to know how good is this service and if I should consider it.

Moreover as I know that it is no open to sign up how to get a RiseUP account? THX for all

Hey I need your help.

Recently I bought a Riello NPW 2000 that output a "pseudo-sinusoidal" wave when running on battery the fact is that I read on the web that modern servers could have problems with it.
Mostly right, as I found that my server (poweredge t430) is not running good with it. When unplugging the power to test the UPS sometimes it make the server just power off and reboot (as said in the bios, turn on when power goes on again) or it put the ups in safety mode (continuous beep).
Tried disabling the PFC in IDRAC settings, as far I haven't noticed power off issues but only safety mode issues with the UPS... (So in fact the server power off, but will never go on battery)

In both cases the server is running fine on battery the issues are just happening when switching.

If anyone has an idea.. Thank you

After research I found that the server never turns off when disabling PFC but will eventually make the UPS goes into fault, I fought it was the fault of the PC that was putting the UPS in protection mode, but it was not the case as I tried to power a TV and it did the same thing.... So I'm good to buy another one...

EDIT : some clarifications & partly resolving the issues

Hello! 😀
I want to share my thoughts on docker and maybe discuss about it!
Since some months I started my homelab and as any good "homelabing guy" I absolutely loved using docker. Simple to deploy and everything. Sadly these days my mind is changing... I recently switch to lxc containers to make easier backup and the xperience is pretty great, the only downside is that not every software is available natively outside of docker 🙃
But I switch to have more control too as docker can be difficult to set up some stuff that the devs don't really planned to.
So here's my thoughts and slowly I'm going to leave docker for more old-school way of hosting services. Don't get me wrong docker is awesome in some use cases, the main are that is really portable and simple to deploy no hundreds dependencies, etc. And by this I think I really found how docker could be useful, not for every single homelabing setup, and it's not my case.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I let you talk about it in the comments, thx.

Hello, have setup my proxmox server since some weeks recently I found that LXC containers could be useful as it really separate all my services in differents containers. Since then I figured out to move my docker's services from a vm into several LXC containers. I ran into some issues, the first one is that a lot of projects run smoother in docker and doesn't really have a "normal" way of being package... The second thing is related to the first one, since they are not really well implemented into the OS how can I make the updates?
So I wonder how people are deploying their stuffs on LXC proxmox's containers?
Thanks for your help!

EDIT : Tried to install docker upon debian LXC but the performances were absolutely terrible...

In extend to my previous post :https://lemmy.ml/post/22320175

I cannot install drupal 11 on a fresh Debian install, in fact I tried everything and it's no more the fault of proxmox, but the PHP installation.

Drupal 11 needs php 8.3 to work, but Debian official repos go only to php 8.2, so I used the sury.org Debian repo to install the latest PHP version. And this is the start of the problem, this install gives me the error shown in the other post, exhausted memory.

I search in the info.php, memory related stuff, and the only difference between the "official" PHP (8.2) and sury one is that in the mysqldn section it shows statistics to yes. But I don't know how to disable it...

Any ideas? Thanks 😉

I just install a complete new Drupal install in a Debian VM inside proxmox, everything works as intended, but I cannot add content to it(it gives me a 500 error).

Apache logs show me that the memory is exhausted, search online, no real answer, tried a lot of thing in PHP.ini, .htaccess… At first the VM had 1 vcpu and 1GB of RAM, not working, I’ve put the PHP memory limit to 1GB, give 8GB to the vm, and 4vcpu. Not working, just “loading” the 500 longer.

Error got into /var/log/apache2/error.log : PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes)) in Unknown on line 0. This is why I give the vm 8GB and change php memory_limit to 1GB but it did nothing…

Have no solutions, as now. If you have one please let me know! thanks 🙂

EDIT: this is not the problem of drupal 11, tried to install it with drupal 10, same result, I think it has something to do with proxmox

I just start using my homelab to host some new good services, and I want to know what is the approach of a docker setup, what is the best distro for? How to deploy them correctly? Basically I'm a real noob in this subject. Thank you

As the title what is the best file sharing service than can be self-hostable? Need encryption

EDIT : To be more precise I want something as an alternative to Wetransfer not Google Drive, something to get a link to dl files

Hey, I've setup a promox server and running some stuffs in it, and basically I want to know how to have alerts notifications that goes from one service to another, for example : I'm running NUT on proxmox shell, and I want to have an alert in Truenas (and in NextCloud running in Truenas) to say that the server will shutdown soon to the users that are actually using my cloud. Thank you 😄
