I know for many of us every day is selfhosting day, but I liked the alliteration. Or do you have fixed dates for maintenance and tinkering?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

This post is proudly sent from my very own Lemmy instance that runs at my homeserver since about ten days. So far, it's been a very nice endeavor.

I need to migrate off Docker Desktop for Windows and Storage Spaces but I fear the process will be difficult due to my data volume and the stupidity of Windows. I should never have gone Windows, but I wanted to use Steam Big Picture off the media PC and didn't want to deal with getting that functional on Linux.

But Docker Desktop for Windows keeps crashing WSL and bricking the network devices randomly, and also continuously grows memory consumption until the machine reboots. Piece of shit.

Try Podman Desktop if you want a GUI to manage your container , and docker desktop is the source of the the crashes. You can run docker images / container / kube through it as well as podman one.

Windows Docker is so bad, I don't even know why it's a thing.

Some good planning might make the migration less painful. I would recommend a ZFS or other COW storage solution under the docker host so you can do snapshot backups and not have to worry about quiesing databases, etc.

Yea I'm gonna do zfs or something when I get set up properly again. I've got 2 16TB HDDs and Storage Spaces won't let me pull a drive out :v

I think I'm gonna have to make a new Storage Space and slowly grow that one and shrink the other as I basically shift the extra storage budget between the two until the data is on just one of my drives without redundancy, and then I'll pull that drive, dual boot Ubuntu or something, format, get everything prepared, and then mount, copy, start services, and then go back and kill the old storage spaces and then never run Windows for anything meaningful again.

Check the returns policy, but if you could buy a large external drive at something like BestBuy, do your copy then return it, that might be a lot safer than what you're talking about. Just a thought.
