Currently installing Ubuntu 26.04 on node 1.
After that I'll clone this so I'll have 6 nodes

#kubernetes #homelab

Wait is it still called a homelab, if the server I run this on, is in a datacenter in Finland? Hmm..

Considering new #Synology hosts are about to be setup, and #Portainer 3.0 announced changes that do not favor #Docker that much, it is time to slowly migrate to a new orchestration platform.

authentik 2026.5.7 patches endpoint agent issues, fixes SCIM case sensitivity, bumps Django, and resolves Secure Enclave key drops on Platform SSO registration #selfhosted #homelab

I auto-patch my hypervisor nodes in my #homelab nightly (they do reboots if necessary). No warning occurs, they simply patch, gracefully shutdown all VMs, then reboot. The only indicators that I have that patching has been done are through #observability : uptime resets, KSM dropping, and minor blips in traffic to my website. Has this patch strategy burned me? Not yet 🤞. Crazy? Nah, this is how I pursue perfection.

Six of my 194 backups came back failed. Retry did nothing.

I had just published an article about pulling 2 TB out of Glacier Deep Archive for 15 dollars flat rate, so I assumed flat rate has limits after all.

It does. Just not that one.

CloudFront refuses to serve a file over 50 GB in one GET. Mine were 250 to 350 GB, because years ago I decided one big archive is easier to move around than many small ones, and I did not think one step further.

The way around it is in the AWS docs. One curl per 40 GB chunk with a Range header, then cat the parts back together. Worked first time, 250 GB in about an hour.

AWS is still not switched off, by the way. Not because of AWS. The disks in my NAS have ten years of runtime on them and HDD prices right now are out of control.

Wrote it up with the script:

FreshRSS 1.30.0 is a critical security release. Local network access blocked by default, multiple attack vectors patched, plus new filtering for global view and smarter feed refresh. Update now. #selfhosted #homelab

Alright, looks like I've talked myself into a new project: Writing an analyser for Prometheus TSDB blocks, with a focus on storage space usage. Potentially with an ultimate goal of creating a thanos-tsdb-block-stats-exporter to get the metrics over time instead of making it a manual, one-time affair.

Sonarr v4.0.20 is here with another incremental update to keep your TV library automation running smooth. Time to update your instances. #selfhosted #homelab

I was all excited to upgrade to Jellyfin 12 tonight...only to find the upgrade fails catastrophically with fatal database errors.

Apparently a fix is in progress, so I guess it's back to 10.11.11 for me.

Maybe hold off upgrading to 12 for now unless you adventurous, and make sure to back up your data!

#Docker patching and updates in the car while waiting for kids...

Got sick of Ansible yet again and writing myself a set of shellscripts yet again for doing the (relatively simple) configuration I need for my handful of machines.

At least it's not Yaml.

I'm looking for some self-hosted, opensource, service help. I need to monitor a bunch of the services I'm running around the house and the only dashboard I've come across is kuma. It looks like what I need, but I like to shop around before choosing.

Does any self-hosters here have suggestions?
