#home-lab — Public Fediverse posts

We get into some homelab updates. Sean has been consolidating hardware, Gary has been implementing high availability with Proxmox, and Shane has been working hard to get Home Assistant working with Kubernetes, as well as downloading YouTube videos.

Komodo v2.2.0 brings TOML schema auto-complete for resource configs, OIDC auto redirect on login, customizable security headers for iframe support, and smarter Resource Sync ordering. Swarm deployments also get solid fixes. #selfhosted #homelab

I integrated the Claude agent with my server via USBridge-KVM and the MCP protocol. No OS is required—the AI analyzes the terminal output using OCR and controls the BIOS independently.

✅ Standalone hardware testing
✅ CMOS battery discharge diagnostics
✅ Full keyboard/mouse control via HID emulation
✅ Mounting virtual media (ISO) for remote OS installation

As an engineer, it’s a pleasure to see the AI “getting its hands dirty” in the BIOS.

What a morning 😓. My Hetzner server crashed due to full storage 💾. I tracked down the issue and fixed a bunch of things before work, and I’m already wiped out 😩. The biggest downside to running your own stuff is definitely all the maintenance and repairs. #TechLife #SelfHosting #Homelab

NetBird v0.71.0 brings full IPv6 dual-stack overlay networking, MFA for local users without an external IdP, and backend support for bring-your-own reverse proxy. #selfhosted #homelab

Self-Host Weekly (15 May 2026)

More #Linux vulnerabilities, software updates and launches, a spotlight on #SnapOtter -- a browser #photo editing tool, and more in this week's #selfhosted recap!

Updated my Red Hat Satellite to Version 6.19 and patched all my home-lab RHEL VMs to the latest state via Ansible.

Fixed also the Copy.Fail and Dirty Frag CVE's, so I can safely remove the mitigations again.

Wochenend-Projekt: **Zerobyte** 💾 #shipit

Ein modernes Backup-Frontend für Restic. Unterstützt S3, SMB, NFS & rclone. Macht Backups endlich wieder schön & einfach! 🚀

Je continue ma désormais tradition "café en terrasse, recueil de @ploum ".

Celle du jour, c'est "la nuit où la transparence se fit". Et je crois que je vais m'arreter dessus pour aujourd'hui.

Et bien 1/ je suis content de m'être lancé dans l'aventure #homelab récemment, et 2/ faut vraiment que j'accélère 😂 (bon allez, searX, ok :) )

Je crois que je vais la relire à chaque fois que j'ai un doute sur la décentralisation.
Avec la phrase "tu confondais numérisation et googlisation totale".

Merci pour ces moments :)

While I'm posting obscure hardware woes in a time when buying hardware sucks, I need to get a server rack for my homelab. In general I know folks tend to hate wall mounted because it can hinder back access, but I don't have many options as space is limited.

Looking at https://tripplite.eaton.com/smartrack-12u-low-profile-switch-depth-wall-mount-rack-enclosure-cabinet~SRW12U. I'm hoping to buy once, cry once and get a rack that'll last a while. Currently running 12 disks in a tower and looking to move to a netapp ds4246.

#homelab #ServerRack

Set up my two Debian-based container nodes...

With nothing on them, they use 302MiB each. Comparatively, Ubuntu is at 610MiB.

#SelfHosting #HomeLab

such a relief getting that freedom after hosting:

vaultwarden
nextcloud
mastodon
immich
ollama
navidrome
forgejo
adguard dns
dawarich
kopia
authelia
supabase full stack
seaweedfs
obsidian livesync
simplex server
strfry
only office
ntfy
uptime kuma

my free time is completely gone (u know the struggle haha) but my data is fully mine.

Two blog posts in one day! Public holidays are great for documenting what you have learned when you #selfhost and run a #homelab. @homelab

This one is the beginnings of a series on observability using tools like Prometheus, Perses, VictoriaLogs, fluent-bit, and others!

I’m fine-tuning the cooling system for the USBridge-KVM 2.0 (which transmits BIOS data in text format via SSH). Under heavy load (2K video streaming), the temperature rose to 70 °C, which wasn’t acceptable to me.

I replaced the axial fan with a turbine fan for side-exhaust cooling.
I soldered a 2-millimeter copper spacer directly to the heatsink to reduce the gap to the chip.

Stable temperature of 50°C under load. It’s incredibly satisfying to see the improvement thanks to the hardware modification.

Uptime Kuma 2.3.2 reverts back to a single SQLite connection by default, fixing stability issues some users were hitting with the multi-connection approach. Small but important patch if you run Kuma. #selfhosted #homelab

Added QR codes for tunnel configs in wgxdp to make smartphone onboarding more convenient https://github.com/andreek/wgxdp/commit/cf28499e9596dd8ec435381cf344bbc67e1da4ba #wireguard #homelab

Debian 13 installed. SSH is working. The base configuration has been deployed with Ansible. The host is now in my basement under a table, ready to be forgotten. Next step for when I have time will be to configure encrypted ZFS and Jellyfin.

Ich glaube ich brauch mal das geballte Wissen der #Homelab Nerds ... 😉

Ich habe hier zuhause schon einige Server, Tools & Co zum Laufen gebracht. Mal zum Testen und oft auch im Produktivbetrieb.

Aber seit Monaten und mit mittlerweile locker 5-10 Anläufen schaffe ich es partout nicht, mit #StepCA meine lokalen #SSL Zertifikate zu realisieren.
Ich renne von Fehler in Fehler - trotz PVE CommunityScripts ...

Wie war das bei euch? Hat es gut geklappt? Wo waren Knackpunkte?

Heute Spaß mit Proxmox, dem Datacenter Manager und dem Backup Server.

Demnächst steht eine Installation eines Clusters in der Firma an. Mal damit beschäftigen.

Ich habe hier noch 5 arbeitslose Nipogi AMD Ryzen Mini-PCs aus der Ära herumstehen, in der Storage und RAM noch preiswert waren.

Ursprünglich war das mal ein Red Hat Openshift Cluster.

Jetzt könnte es ein 3-Node Proxmox-Cluster + separatem Backup-Server + .... werden.

Die PCs haben zwei Ethernet-Interfaces mit bis zu 2,5Gbit/s.

Könnte einen Ceph-Cluster mit niedrigem Replikationstraffic aushalten.

#homelab #proxmox #virtualisierung #minipc

Replaced the motherboard including new CPU and RAM, the host boots correctly now and the keyboard works! It's time to install Debian 13.

#selfhosting #homelab

Kurz nach neun, eine Tasse Kaffee getrunken und schon zwei #Immich Instanzen, zwei #Nextcloud Instanzen, eine #Vaultwarden Instanz und #eOS auf meinem #Fairphone aktualisiert.

Kann mich wieder hinlegen 😁

#homelab #selfhost

I've self-hosted my own #Forgejo server for a while now and it's been such a freaking delight to work with, and gives me some relief that my code/#Git repos have a place outside of #GitHub. When I started this however, I couldn't fully migrate everything I had to Forgejo - as some were still tied to GitHub's actions and their hosted runners. Before I could migrate them, I'd need to set up runners of my own on the Forgejo server.

Seeing GitHub's rapid deterioration lately, I resumed my search on setting up runners on Forgejo the right way, and was initially under the impression that it's gonna be complicated... but as it turns out, it really isn't. I set up a simple runner on a remote #RaspberryPi I had using #Docker (Compose) and it was ready to go. Porting my actions/workflows files were super easy too, unlike doing the same for something like #GitLab. Now all of my repos that were on GitHub and had some CI/CD set up have been migrated to my Forgejo server, using my own runners.

I've updated my #Homelab Wiki topic on Forgejo to include the optional step to set up a Forgejo runner. If you're now only considering deploying Forgejo, feel free to check out the rest of the topic which covers the complete setup, some basic recommended configurations, and even how to migrate your repos to Forgejo and set up push mirroring so they still exist on GitHub (if you choose to).
