Selfhosted

Get a domain and set about moving over to HTTPS with Let's encrypt and Nginx.

Learn to write an Nginx config. NPM just works so good though.

Fix my permission issues. I have my media zpool on 777 so all the LXCs work and I have to run Libation in a VM as root. I've been banging my head against this on and off for a while.

Figure out why paperless isn't saving to the correct place. Also, figure out where Paperless is saving to.

Containerise Libation.

I give friends and family access to my server via a relay, just a raspberry pi 0 with Tailscale, pihole and nginx on it. I have reasons for going this route. Anyways, get a couple more of those into the wild. Also streamline the process somewhat.

Learn to and create an ACL config for tailscale so I can have services access nothing, users access services, and admins access everything.

Thinking about setting up a NixOS or Guix firewall/router. I like OpenWRT but upgrades are a bit annoying, although should improve with the new packaging system.

The idea of having a single config file I can deploy on new hardware almost immediately is very appealing, however.

Learn how to design an implement effective segmentation for my network, get better with OPNsense, and get my private website up and running

I just reached all my goals at the end of 2024. So stretch goal in my case.

40 gig network for private ceph traffic. Do aggregation on all the nodes for redundancy. Maybe expand to 5 nodes from 3.

Moving my servers to Arch (EOS) as my trial for one during 2024 was successful, rock solid. Swapping my router to a Unifi Express as I am switching to an ISP which finally allows me to do so.

Buying a 16 TB hard drive for... purposes.

1. don't break stuff
2. upgrade to microOS from Leap, without violating step 1
3. reduce the physical footprint of my server (currently in a massive case, would like to go to mini-ITX)

My city is also planning to roll out fiber, so upgrading my network may become a priority if that happens. My current ISP is limited to 100mbps, but I should be able to get 10gbit once they hook me up (though I'll probably stop well short of that).

I will be moving my entire homelab to a different country, which currently consist of two kubernetes nodes, a NAS and various home automation devices. I will be scaling down gradually, taking cold storage backups of everything and plan to resurrect everything on new hardware once I have moved.

Transition my main host to Linux, maybe Plex to Jellyfin, setup a switch (have an RS900 and access to acquire a free CS2960), a UPS or two. I may also wind up getting my hands on some PoE cameras and APs. Run some cable too.

Loving all these goals and ideas!

Lots to think about and put on the to do list!

Great question and I'm loving the action.

All I need to figure out is how to replicate one trunas pool to another trunas machine as a backup.

replication tasks are all failing, rsync is taking absolutely forever, and I need my backup, I feel naked!

Last year I wanted to set up a budget media PC and got enamored by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCDmHljsinY

I got a 600 G3 with the 4560 processor, installed Debian onto it and hooked it to my 4k TV mainly to run immich and stremio.

Immich runs just fine, though I have gotten too fast behind its upgrades and having less knowledge about Docker, I'm afraid to update immich. Need to figure that out.

But what disappointed me was that my good quality videos (even the downloaded ones) are choppy to run (unlike the fluid expectations from the video above) and I don't really know what I should look into to make it better.

I'm due a backup and other than that I hope nothing breaks

10gb network, a second proxmox host and outside backup

Thank you, I didn’t realize I needed goals

I want to replace my single drive Qnap NAS by a diy one. It still works, but I also want to redo my backup process, and it would be a good point to start.

Buy a NAS , sell my old gaming pc (acting as 1 node in my proxmox cluster of 2), buy a second mini pc, learn more about backups and fallbacks and all that fun stuff

Add an NVMe cache to my server and upgrade RAM if pricing permits.

From the software side there are a lot of open feature requests I keep adding to my backlog, like setting up a mail archive, reconfiguring my network (separate IoT devices into separate VLANs), maybe reconfigure some of my containers, …

• Setup my two offsite backups at work and family home.
• Decide if I want more storage or to start deleting some media.
• Setup a work server.
• Something fun?

Finalise my physical network to have at least one available port in every essential room & build a new home server/NAS.
