Selfhosted

Finally managed to set up tvheadend with rebreoadcasted IPTV from a private group with functioning and automated import into jellyfin.
Works very well (if the IP stream doesnt crash)

Edit: Spelling mistake.
Additional info: Took me 3 weekends to figure out how it all works together, finding out that firefox browser neither on desktop nor android can play live tv on jellyfin (even with transcode) and that EPG is a bitch to get right with obscure tv stations.
And webgrabplus has asinine documentation. Meaning: non existant. Go figure it out yourself what each parameter means, lol)

Half finished projects

My job let me buy a bunch of Pis to set up a cluster for a demo so I’m having a lot of fun

I changed my proxmox server from zfs raid pool to software raid with mdadm. Saved me a ton of ram and cheap ssd's don't really like zfs, so it's a win win. And while messing around with drive setups I also changed the system around a bit. Previously it had only single ssd with LVM and 7x4TB drives with zfs but as I don't really need that much storage it's now running 3x1TB SSD + 4x4TB HDD, both with software raid5 so 2TB of fast(ish, they're still sata drives) storage and 12TB (or 10,6 in the real wold, TB vs TiB) of spinning rust storage.

Well enough for my needs and I finally have enough fast storage for my immich server to maintain all the photos and videos over 20+ years. Took "a while" to copy ~5TB over 1gig lan to other system and back, but it's now done and the copying didn't need babysitting in the first place, so not too big of a deal. Biggest unexpected issue was that my 3,5" hdd hotswap cradles didn't have option to mount 2,5" drives so I had to shut down the server and open the case to mount the drives.

And while doing that my piHole was down, so the whole network didn't have DNS server around. I'd need to either set up another pihole server or just set up some scripts to the router to change DNS offerings to dhcp clients while pihole is down and shorten the lease time to few minutes.

I lost all my inpsiration after my last install. I've literally just got immich and a raid array. I want to add a few things:

• Public facing website
• Jellyfin
• VPN server
• Individuous
• XMPP

I'm iterating again on my lab setup and moving a few apps that I expose externally to their own VM so I can lock that sucker down even further. Right now I have a few different servers with podman/docker containers grouped by application type. e.g. critical apps: foregjo, nextcloud, vaultwarden. My arr stack. Media consumption. Knowledge & tracking apps, and general apps.

I eventually intend to throw the external apps into a DMZ VM but my network isn't setup to do that right now, so instead I'm getting them set up on their own host and will lock down the firewall to only allow it to communicate with my reverse proxy and nothing else.

It's been fun reworking my Ansible playbooks to do all my server provisioning (still need to figure out Terraform) along with running app installs and updates automatically at the press a button. Working with firewall rules via Ansible was a bit of a headache at first but now I'm in a really good spot.

I'm also testing out linkwarden and hoarder to finally replace what I lost with Omnivore a while ago.

I had my VPS go down due to a PSU issue. Os there any legal recourse for getting my 0.14% of the monthly cost back?

Recently set up OliveTin on a pi zero w for some automation scripts I wan to be able to trigger from my mobile. I'm loving it.

I. Build a PC for video editing because it was becoming impossible to do on the laptop. I realized that I can use the GPU also to run large language models myself.

So this week I've been setting up ollama and Open WebUI to be able to move some of my queries I ask ChatGPT and ask them on my computer, even if I'm away.

This way I don't need to send sensitive data to the USA and China. It works quite well but I only can use smaller models up to 14B because of the 12 GB VRAM my graphics card only has.

A couple of days ago, after testing it myself for a few months to make sure I understood how everything works, I made the switch to NextCloud Calendar, and will no longer use Google Calendar.

This is the best part though... I somehow convinced my wife to do the same. She let me install the NextCloud app(optional for Calendar stuff but makes the setup easier) and DAVx^5^ on her phone (both from F-Droid, so DAVx^5^ was free). I exported and imported her calendar, and made sure the notifications were set up to her preferred default.

It's multiple days later, and she hasn't complained!

I've also moved all of my contacts over to NextCloud, but have yet to coerce my spouse to do the same.

My 8GB soquartz CM4 has a broken memory chip and I can't return it, so I am contemplating whether I should throw it in the oven and hope for the best or whether somebody wants to buy a half broken one unbaked ...

I'm starting to see mastodon users on my tiny pixelfed server. It's such a good feeling.

On the sad side, my Lemmy update went south and I had to remove it off my setup. Still looking for a good replacement for max two users. Something dirt simple like GoToSocial turned out to be.

Working on testing stalwart... And will need to organize and document properly my various nft rules and routing tables, because its slightly getting out of hand...

Slowly building up my self hosted test env in a VM on my gaming PC.

Most recently playing with homepage so I don't have to remember as many sub domains.

Eventually I will get the *arr stack going so my jellyseerr instance is more automated.

I'm currently half way thru building a ZFS array using (5) 8tb Ironwolf Pro drives. I'm modelling and 3d printing a custom drive cage with brackets to hold them all inside the shitty Dell tower case I have dedicated to it. Hoping I can get it done sometime Sunday, I'm on V2 of the drive cage print and it takes like 8 hours to do lol.

OpenWRT on a new router. The wifi works better, ethernet works up to 980Mbit/s and I don't have all my traffic routed trough a Huawei device.

And it allows you to configure everything.

Helle there ! It's still Saturday here :p !

I recently setup weechat (IRC) and learned about bouncers. From what I understand it's similar to a proxy but with backlogging IRC conversation. I'm still new to it and have a lot a new things to learn.

I'm thinking to self-host my personal bouncer on some cheap VPS.

Other than that was busy with encoding with av1an and encode my bluray library to AV1 codec :).

I also recently self-hosted metube (yt-dlp web frontend) to download some music from RiMusic. Still need to work on a shortcut with HTTPS shortcut on Android !
