I've had BookStack running publicly for 5 years, the longest of any app I self-host. Time for a fresh look: a tour, an intro from developer Dan Brown, and a Docker Compose install with SMTP. #selfhosting #homelab #wiki

I was looking to add a new node to my #Proxmox cluster, but memory is crazy expensive.
I checked how much I paid for 64 GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM two and a half years ago: 183 CAD, or 114 €! Now, it costs almost six times as much. I should have ordered more…
By the way, it’s less expensive in Canada than in Europe…
So I’ve put off adding my new node… 😢
Maybe that’s better for the environment 🌍 😉
#IPv6 confusion: can a router advertise that there's a #network on the other side? Without handing out any addresses?
I want to join 2 ULAs on 2 separate links: A/64 and B/64. The host routes between links and has A:1/64 and B:1/64.
This host is *not* the default router, so I can't set up the routes there and call it a day.
Is there a way?

Finally turned attention to getting Immich up and running tonight. I like it, seems snappy enough with tens of thousands of photos imported.
The Immich website has a handy form driven page for generating a docker compose file so it took like 30 seconds to get it running once mutated to follow my way of doing things on my server (persistent storage, naming, cert proxy, etc).
I struggled a bit with using the Immich command line tool to import my photo collection and in the process of trying to figure out why --recursive didn't work, stumbled upon the immich-go project on github. It's also a command line tool and works very well; immediately was able to recursively import photos, etc. Compiles cleanly on Alpine Linux (ofc, it's just golang).
Immich-go has a migrate function that allows you to connect to one Immich server and copy the files to another Immich server (but no 'delete source' as far as I could tell).
I set up a second Immich instance on a different port and started to use the migrate function to finally start moving all the photos of my computer electronics and vehicle technical projects out of the whole household's photo collection. My wife will appreciate that. Ha. Managed to split out 2026-2025, only ~25 more years to go. Ugh.
Anyway, Immich (the server) and Immich-go (the CLI tool) are cool. Recommended.
Fun!

Tonight, I started looking at automated deployment of services within my homelab.
I've been using ansible already, so I figured I would just start by going through my current virtual machines, harvest the config files, create ansible roles and templates, then go from there.
But then I wondered about my containerized services.
I've just migrated from Portainer to Arcane, and I realized all of my precious compose files weren't stored or tracked anywhere.
So, I did what any normal person would do, and set up a new Gitea organisation to handle my compose files and went ahead and set up each compose file (with example .env files) in new repositories. Now, a change in a compose.yml file in gitea causes the appropriate container stack to redeploy.
This is great, but how would I get these container hosts to point at arcane and get their relevant projects?
Easy! Ansible.
I can use a module to run a compose file, which links my machine to Arcane for management.
But now, I'll need to manually create an entry in Arcane for each new host before I deploy the agent. Can I automate that?
I can. Using Arcane's API, I can programmatically register a new environment, thus allowing my new device to have new gitea projects deployed to it.
So much to do!
My DIY OPNSENSE router, built on an old-arse AMD dual core handles 10 gigabit just fine. https://lydie.cc/opnsense-router.html #homelab
It runs hot though! But it was free.
Ach und ich teste so nebenbei #Mailflow als Email Webclient. Macht bisher ein guten Eindruck.
Wenn ihr im #Homelab Monitoring eingerichtet habt, über welches Medium werdet ihr über Fehler informiert?
Three days of downtime after one NIC died. Built a bulletproof ZimaBoard lab: VLANs, dual-WAN failover, Kasm desktops, Tailscale VPN.

das teil hat mir jetzt innerhalb von einem tag das wiki aufgesetzt und meine gesamte netzwerk topologie "entschlüsselt" und festgehalten
ich muss es nochmal betonen: LOKAL!
ich versuche das jetzt seit irgend 5 jahren zu machen aber ich bin schon beim aufsetzen und konzipieren gescheitert
das #LLM hat jetzt einfach mal gemacht 😎

#KI #homelab
Local models on my own hardware are getting better, and I want to use them before sending everything to a frontier model. NVIDIA Switchyard and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning are helping me do this.
Am looking for an EU-based alternative for dynamic DNS that I'm currently using from dyn.com. It should offer the ability to create 15-20 hosts. Happy to pay for a good service. Any ideas?
EDIT: mind blown. 🤯 Am using joker.com for my domains (for years already) and only just found they offer DDNS as well 🤦♂️.
Your cyber lab can encrypt 4TB of family photos if malware crosses a flat VLAN. Build a disposable Kasm lab on ZimaBoard 2 with Debian 12 and nftables isolation: https://www.valtersit.com/guides/zima/zimaboard-2-kasm/ #homelab #kasm #zimaboard
ist das geil!
ich lass mein lokales qwen3.8 gerade mein netzwerk scannen und ne "karte" in openwiki erstellen
dann muss ich das zeugs nicht jedes mal erklären wenn ich irgend ein verbindungsproblem habe, sondern die infos sind im wiki

Four TESLA P100 16GB HBM2 GPUs have been ordered for the Solar Powered LLM Server V2.0.
Total spend was around $700 for the components on eBay. I think I'll stripe 5 HDDs I find in a box to store models.
The idea is highest quality model and fastest tokens per second so when I ask my smart speakers to do automation things, it's faster. Not that the current server is bad in any way.

Hallo Fediverse! 👋 Ich bin Tim aus #Berlin
Im Job leite ich ein Platform-Team. Nebenbei hab ich bemodi mitgegründet. Wir beraten herstellerunabhängig zu IT-Betrieb und KI-Automatisierung, meistens dort, wo es streng reguliert ist: Krankenhäuser, Labore, KRITIS. Wenn keine Daten das Netz verlassen dürfen, läuft alles on-prem, sonst gern auch in der Cloud.
Viel dreht sich gerade um Agenten mit Gedächtnis, MCP und die Frage, wie man NIS2 und den AI Act im Alltag hinkriegt.
Ich habe ein Talos-Cluster mit Prometheus, Grafana und mehr Self-Hosting-Projekten, als vernünftig ist. 🫣
Zocken tu ich auch unter Linux.
Ansonsten will ich irgendwann einen #Marathon unter 4 Stunden laufen und schaue dafür vermutlich zu oft auf meine HRV. In #Hattrick leide ich jede Woche mit dem FC HomeBaze 2020 mit.
Über all das schreibe ich hier, mal mehr, mal weniger.
Wem aus diesen Ecken sollte ich folgen?

ZimaBoard 2 review: x86 SBC with PCIe and dual SATA, benched against Raspberry Pi 5 and Orange Pi 5 Plus. Thermals, throttling, and where the hype dies. https://www.valtersit.com/guides/zima/zimaboard-2-review/ #homelab #sbc #proxmox
das ökosystem rund um die #KI harness ist schon fantastisch
openwiki auch so ein kleines geniales dingens
damit kann man seinem agenten quasi ein "gedächtnis" geben und auch für einen selbst ein nachschlagewerk erstellen
nach all dem geteste und getweake komm ich einem produktiven workflow immer näher 😎

If you had to rebuild your homelab from scratch with the same budget, what would you do differently? #selfhosting #homelab
Viikonloppuprojekti melkein valmis: harrastusprojektien staging- ja GitHub-runner-kone sai tehokkaamman prosessorin. AI:n kanssa setupia läpikäydessä löytyi myös kaksi hajonnutta tai hajoamassa olevaa M.2-levyä. Toivottavasti isompi 2 Tt:n levy menee takuuseen.
Löysin myös kolme ylimääräistä SSD-levyä. Tämä alkaa kuulostaa jo ihan raakatimanttimeemiltä.
Hey duckduckfedi, do you have any blog recommendations for in-depth homelab / self-hosting topics?
I am not looking for entry level "how to install xy" posts, but for thought out setups and ideas to steal from get inspired by for my own setup. :neocat:
On my current search about mostly hands-free NixOS deployment, update and monitoring strategies I've mostly come across slop and cookie cutter guides, which have been rather worthless, but I am sure there are blogs out there with great content that are just drowned out by the slop :dinoburn:

AdGuard Home finally reached 1.0, at least as a beta, and I could not wait. Switched the Docker tag from latest to beta, backed up the config first, and it came up without complaints.
Everything in the UI is rebuilt. The dashboard is cleaner, the settings finally make sense, and the query log got proper sorting and filtering. They also say the new frontend is much lighter, which matches what I see.
Over the last 7 days my network made almost 220 thousand DNS queries, and 30% of them were ads that never reached my devices. One single device is responsible for more than half of all the queries, and now I really want to know which one.
One thing to keep in mind is that they switched to flexible versioning, so even minor releases can break things. Back up before you update!
I could not resist grabbing this sucker for $400 bucks. I feel like I stole it. So I guess with 80 PCIe 3 lanes (4 full length slots) and I can stuff 512GB of DDR3 in (16 DIMM slots!), I could load 4x GPUs in there.
So, which ones? Me thinks 4x Tesla P100 16GB GPUs are being bidded on now.
-2x Intel Xeon E5-2620 V2 Processor
-64 GB DDR3 (I will make it 128 methinks)
-ASUS Motherboard: Z9PE-D16
-1100w Power Supply
-ASUS Blu-Ray MDISC Burner
Might end up selling my 2080 ti LLM server if this can crank out serious tokens per second with a big arse LLM

Hey all! No livestream today. I've picked up a stomach bug and am just not going to be able to do it this weekend. New video coming Tuesday and we'll get back to livestreaming next weekend! #homelab #selfhosting
Anyone out there running Fluxer and find it a suitable replacement for small communities?
I'm not looking for a drop in replacement for Discord or anything, mostly just hopeful to hear folks have found it stable enough to self host st this point.
Normally I'd just experiment but I'm in the process of a rebuild of my lab and wanted to know what to prioritize after its physically in place and serviceable.
What made you want to build your homelab?
I’ll go 1st.
When I started my current role about two years ago, I was thrown straight into managing Kubernetes clusters. I quickly realized how much I DIDN’T know. Within a week of starting, I bought a Beelink mini PC, learned how to build a cluster with kubeadm, and started my homelab journey so I could learn by building, breaking, and fixing things myself.

Refreshed 12-bay all-in-one enterprise solution for central data management, backup, and surveillance. Here is the new #Synology RS3626xs
Migrated my homelab server from Debian to NixOS, with an AI agent doing most of the heavy lifting. 🧵
The agent first built an inventory of everything that needed to be installed, migrated and backed up. Once the plan was in place, it took a btrfs snapshot onto my external RAID, then installed NixOS remotely over SSH using kexec + nixos-anywhere.
