#home-lab — Public Fediverse posts

Spent tonight moving everything off my MikroTik access point and onto a new rack mount 10G router, also from MikroTik. It took a while, but now everything is defined as code in Terraform, and seems to be routing much faster than before.

I still need to move my second Proxmox node over, but I’m looking forward to those getting 2.5 Gbit speeds. This upgrade has been a long time coming.

¿Mereció la pena? Sin duda. Ahora tengo un sistema antiX-26 estable, moderno y con soporte hasta ~2031. Mi i5-6500 y mi nuevo SSD de 1 TB están listos para seguir dándolo todo.
El secreto: un buen backup y paciencia. 🧠

The fun side of self-hosting my GitHub Actions runners for private projects (and thus on private repos) is that I now have nearly 60+ pending pods after doing some Renovate fixes and upgrades

I am installing Pangolin as replacement to Cloudflare tunnels. I'm having some trouble configuring Traefik middlewares, and decided to ask advise from new Qwen3.8. It answered pretty quickly, did some net searches, and gave helpful answer. What's amazing is that it runs locally in an AMD Strix Halo mini-pc. I don't need any AI sub because the Ai is just another service in a mini-pc I am using anyway.

I got forward with Pangolin, and gave now e.g. Crowdsec completely integrated via Traefik plugin.

Now I'm stuck with Traefik Middleware Manager. It should allow me to pick a service (a web server) and hook in required Middleware. But it has hardly any documentation. I have installed a set of plugins, but I'm puzzled how to add and configure them into middlewares for a service. I guess I need to read the truth from sources😅.

Esta es la casita que albergará mi nuevo home server en proceso de construcción. Es un Jonsbo N6. Soporta placas micro-ATX y tiene bahías hot-swappable para 9 discos de 3.5 o 2.5''.

Starting my #docker migration process onto new #synology gear. While still waiting for some parts, I have succesfully migrated #matomo and its #mysql DB from one host to another.

Will do it once again, onto new gear as well but more as a docker stack migration as a whole. This time it was an actual mysql db migration from one host and DB version to another.

Zero issues for all sites. Really like that platform!

Na razie pełni u mnie jedną rolę, ale powinny dojść kolejne. Jest to kolejne #Zabbix Proxy w mojej Zabbix Proxy Group. Co w przypadku faila innego komputera na którym hostuje Proxy (3xVM z #fedoracoreos) nadal będę miał dostępny monitoring.
Znając jednak ograniczenia dyskowe i RAM odrzuciłem kontenery i VM na rzecz natywnych pakietów -- tutaj mam najnowszego Debiana 13.

Nowy nabytek w #homelab.
Tym razem jest to #Dell #Wyse3040 czyli terminal z procesorem Intel Atom oraz systemem ThinOS. Aktualnie można go kupić za równowartość obiadu dla dwóch osób w taniej restauracji/barze (w moim przypadku 65 złotych, ale bez zasilacza).
Tak mi się spodobał, że dokupiłem takich kolejnych 5🤐

What the heck is an NPU actually for?

Every device here has a static IP I assigned so I'd always know what's where.

I do not know what's where.

Something at .43 answers pings, port 8080 open, and I have no memory of setting it up or what it does. The spreadsheet I swore I'd keep current has one row, dated 2021.

Most of running a homelab is detective work on choices I made and forgot.

How do you keep track of what's actually on your network?

@cora I started with Grafana but felt it was to complex for my needs. Nowadays I used Beszel for node monitoring and Gatus for service uptime monitoring. Quite happy with that #homelab #monitoring

Question for the #homelab nerds out there.

I have a running family of projects (well more like a breakfast club of misfits) that I've been deploying to my "lab" (by which I mean, currently, a mediocre #raspberrypi), currently stitched together with docker-compose.

An important underlying theme to this effort, and a reason why I'm sticking with the pi, is a focus upon resource-constrained, high-efficiency, self-contained, open-source computing. Kinda the opposite of the vibe of the times, I know, but I think it's important.

I suspect I'm far from alone in this, and I'm curious: what are other folks working on projects like this use for observability? So far, I'm cobbling my own together with shell scripts and instrumentation in the code (using #tokio tracing if it matters).

I don't really want to go down the "standard" bobsled run that ends with an army of proxmox vms and various free-tier accounts on cloud-based services... again, resource-constrained and self-contained. It feels like we used to have tools like this, when every server was a pet; surely those haven't gone away?

Search results, unfortunately, are twenty pages of "The N best homelab observability stacks in 2026! (Number N-M will suprise you)" AI-generated marketing blogslop, all of which I've sampled launch an aforementioned sled.

So, asking here. Tips solicited. Retoots welcome.

I Finally Started a Homelab — on My MacBook

Mission erfüllt! #ceph #cluster läuft mit 6 OSDs und der backbone schnurrt wie ein Kätzchen. Stromverbrauch ist mir zu hoch, werde mir aber bissel Zeit lassen und rum experimentieren. Gibt noch viel zu tun!

This morning I tested my backup recovery in my #homelab @homelab

I restored FreshRSS into a separate namespace to avoid conflicting with the live deployment.

* Velero restored the k8s resources and the app volumes (extensions)
* Barman (CNPG) rebuilt the database from its own backup
* I logged into FreshRSS, checked my data, and everything worked as expected

Restoring is the only way to know a backup works!
