Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #homelab, aggregated by home.social.

  1. LubeLog v1.6.6 is here with dependency updates and misc improvements. Keep your vehicle maintenance tracking sharp and self-hosted.

  2. I had a power outage and everything in my network and home lab survived just fine, except for Home Assistant, because it was was unable to reestablish communications with stuff that powered off. I don't remember the last time I had to restart HA that wasn't because of an upgrade.

    Also I found out that some automations that were supposed to run after the power is back, did not run properly.

  3. I was running nearly 20 extra containers just for management overhead. One switch fixed that. Why I replaced Portainer with Dockhand and what you need to know before you migrate.

  4. Ghost v6.42.0 brings pinned comments, threaded comments, and comment dislikes. Your self-hosted blog just got a serious community upgrade.

  5. Memos v0.29.0 brings rich link preview cards, SMTP email notifications, calendar-aware memo creation, a dedicated shortcuts page, and new instance statistics APIs. A solid quality of life upgrade.

  6. Mealie v3.19.1 patches the bug where recipe actions refused to load, plus a Nuxt security fix and 19 dependency updates. A solid maintenance release.

  7. So as of yesterday, 90 days have passed with my entire #homelab in a "single stack" all running atop an M1 mac mini. Under 30 watts total power consumption, 4 VMs and dozens of services in containers. Zero issues.

  8. Headscale is an open-source self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server built for privacy-focused users and homelabs.

    It lets you create your own WireGuard-based mesh VPN while keeping control of the coordination server instead of relying entirely on Tailscale’s infrastructure.

    A powerful option for selfhosters who want more control over their network.

  9. My three nines are about to go away, 😋 Power went out earlier and I've got to leave so I'm not leaving the generator unattended.

  10. Ok I really need to get a proper CI runner operational.

    Either Forgejo actions or Woodpecker-CI

  11. Wallos v4.9.2 is out with a build bug fix. If you track your subscriptions with this app, keep it updated for the smoothest experience.

  12. I'm continuing to develop my hardware KVM-over-IP project. The main feature is "SSH mode." The device doesn't just transmit an image; it converts the BIOS screen into text output in the terminal using deterministic pixel mapping. Error codes can now be copied directly from the terminal.
    I went further and added automation to the USBridge client. Scripts (for example, automatic BIOS entry) manage input delays and use OCR to search for the desired text on the screen. I find the line "Aptio Setup Utility"—wait, a pop-up appears—the script recognizes it and sends an Esc ($0x29$). In my opinion, OCR in automation scripts works surprisingly reliably here.
    What do you think?

  14. Tianji v1.31.26 brings a cleaner SecretInput component with a new clear button plus the project has officially moved to tianji.dev

  15. The only thing my #homelab lacks is a shared storage for #Proxmox cluster guest disks, and I still haven't figured out a simple solution for that. Maybe there are none.

    #Ceph is complex and sounds like an overhead.

    For #nfs / #cifs, my network is too slow.

    #HomeServer #Selfhosted #selfhosting #selfHost

  16. I'm back to a three-node #Proxmox cluster. With replications and high availability configured, this setup is my favorite because I can turn off my power-hungry #DIYNAS and my critical #homelab services will still be online, distributed among the rest of the nodes. Also, this cluster will survive a random single-node failure, so I'll be less worried about the #homelab while away.

    Price is an additional 10-15 watts of power consumption.

  17. Snipe-IT v8.6.1 is a big one: users can now belong to multiple companies with FMCS, bulk license seat and asset checkin via GUI, and major SCIM improvements. PHP 8.2+ required.

  18. It is REALLY nice to finally be able to pull out a server and not have to deal with unracking or even uncabling it, just to do maintenance!

  19. Today has been a day of updating all my personal projects to use python 3.14 and to update all the project dependencies. I probably should automate that updating process, but that's a project for another day. About a 1MB container image size increase is not too bad.

  20. Result of the evening: YaCy is a supremely frustrating piece of software.

    Where seemingly nothing does what the documentation says it does.

    I still haven't figured out how to tell YaCy to send port 443 to peers, not 8090. Even though I tried several options in several interfaces and config files.

    Going to dredge up some Java from my Uni days and see whether that leads to some enlightenment.

  21. PasswordPusher v2.7.0 locks down GDPR compliance by ensuring zero remote asset loading. No more sneaky external calls. Plus a pile of dependency and security updates.

  23. Bin nicht ganz unwissend was #server angeht, suche aber etwas das ein kleines #homelab wirklich easy macht (für Leute mit wirklich wenig zeit). Idealerweise auf einem Pi4 oder zur Not altem Laptop soll es laufen. V.a. Für smart home und storage (syncthing) and so Kleinigkeiten. Lokales Netzwerk reicht aus (Skalierung usw egal), SSO pre-Config wäre schön. #yunohost ist genial, ich würde mich mit etwas #docker / #podman -basierten und/oder immutable OS aber sicherer fühlen. #empfehlungen ? #diday

  27. Okay, interesting. At least for one of the env variables I've found the reason. It only gets taken into account on the server's second start due to an if -f in the entrypoint of the Docker container.

  28. Helped my brother-in-law tonight with installing his first NAS. He went for TrueNAS on a Beelink N150 (16 GB) with 2*256 Gb and 2*2TB SSDs. This should be plenty for his needs the coming years.

    As a newbie he was a bit overwhelmed with creating install USB, configure storage, creating users and groups, set a fix IP via DHCP, install Newt to connect to my Pangolin instance. After that I could logon myself (had to do it remotely) and show him some final stuff, before we called it a day. Next session will be creating shares and setting permissions, so he can transfer his files. I will prepare an old NAS as backup target.

    He did well and we had fun. Did not get all of it, but that was fully to be expected.

  31. Today's #WTF moment is brought to you by trying to figure out why 404 pages in my #homeLab coming via a reverse proxy were all mangled and weird. I've tried every combination of gzip on and off, headers, encoding on the #nginx proxy and backend.

    Then I check the actual 404.html page. I have no idea how that happened.

  41. Setup #headscale for fun today (it is an open source reimplementation of the #Tailscale Servers) was quite easy, just that at some point the docs stated to use FQDN but it was not just the domain name required but also https:// and the port it seems. Still got it working, was just mildly annoying.
    Running natively on #Debian was so easy to set up otherwise. Will set up some sort of UI later on maybe even with #SSO via my #Keycloak.

  43. Have been experimenting with #signoz in the #homelab as a possible replacement for #grafana #prometheus #loki #fluentbit. Early results across the #kubernetes cluster are positive - metrics, logs, dashboards and alerts tested. Before I start a more thorough test ahead of migration, does anyone have any experiences to share? Really like the idea of queries and logs with SQL, are there any other tools I should be considering?
