Got my jetKVM in the mail yesterday. Really sleek build and software. Liking it a lot so far.
Migrated my network to a router running openwrt this past week as well. Having issues with avahi-daemon crash looping, so I haven't been able to get mdns working in between networks 🤷
I set up my own Lemmy server, mastodon, and matrix. Finally making the move off centralized social media and communication platforms
Nice! Hosting your own Fedi stuff feels great.
I had to reboot my Proxmox server after applying powertop --auto-tune. All was fine with every advised tweak but touching the Lan interfaces was not a great idea
Did autotune touch the interfaces?
Yes, it applies some power-saving settings to both my interfaces, then I lose the connection in the following 10 seconds. I should screencap the commands for all the other settings and prepare a custom script that wouldn't touch my network
I've just set up Wireguard, so I can access my home network from everywhere, but the old laptop that I wanted to use as a server has just quit. So now I have to find a different machine
I fixed DNS
(My DNS queries were blocked by my ISP's modem, I flashed OpenWRT on an old WiFi Repeater, and set up a DoH proxy)
Finally got around to trying what @[email protected] recommended me to troubleshoot my scanner sending to FTP. And I got it working! Thanks chaospatterns!
Found out that docker volumes are important after restarting my server 🙃
Am I mistaken that docker creates temporary volumes with a nondescript name and you can potentially dig up the volumes that were being used in /var/lib/docker/volumes?
That’s a mistake you only make once!
Meh, made it a few times.
Some images treat volumes differently .
Looking at you, nextcloud.
I’m trying to figure out a basic CRM for my local sports club. I use docker to self host a voting platform called RALLLY that we use a lot and enjoy. If people can recommend a CRM I’d give it a go today. I tried a platform called twenty yesterday but couldn’t get it off the ground
Consider reviewing odoo, I last looked at them when they were known as openERP, I know one guy that runs it and is happy. It might be a bit much if you just want a CRM...
Last week got my new epyc server with GPU running ollama and all the trimmings.
This week linked my 2 home bases with wire guard, all the subnets mesh and the wifi isolation is solid. Performance is surprisingly good considering they're 9 time zones apart on different hemispheres.
Migrating plex to jellyfin to get hw accel working.
Also trying to get my second base multiple statics and 10gb if possible, rural fiber in Europe is unbelievably aweome, hope to drop Comcast business back home if it works.
Got someone to work with on a new company, so that's part of this, though my day job relies on this too.
Recently been working on setting up forgejo to migrate away from GitHub. My open source stuff I’ve actually put onto codeberg and I’ve set up a handful of pull mirrors on my local instance for redundancy. This weekend I’ve been testing out woodpecker-ci for automating pushing files to s3 for some static websites for repos on codeberg as well as my forgejo instance. Today will tell if that is successful!
