#homelab — Public Fediverse posts

41 dead terabytes. Life of a data hoarder! Bytes lost = 0. RAID used = none (everything is fully mirrored 3 times). #selfhosted #selfhosting #homelab #harddrives

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?

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

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.

Do you run #IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) and/or #IDS (Intrusion Detection System) features on your home #Network?

Feel free to elaborate on why or why not, I like to hear what real users do and think vs just what tech news articles have to say about these things.

#HomeLab #Poll

Document that process, error, or whatever while it’s fresh. The longer you wait, the less likely you are to ever do it.

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.

Home Assistant auf podman läuft jetzt.

Wenn auch erstmal (für die Einrichtung) im privileged Mode mit sudo. Da flashen sich Geräte einfach leichter.

Irgendwann schreibe ich dafür noch ein Quadlet und führe es mit den minimalen Rechten aus.

Die Thermometer zu koppeln war kein Problem.

Die App um die Sonoff-Geräte zu koppeln (eweLink) ist ja mal richtiger Müll, aber hat funktioniert.

Richte gerade noch die Smartplugs für Zwift und die Steckerliste für Fernseher und Roku Soundbar ein, bevor ich gleich zwei Stunden trainiere.

Dann hab ich auch eine Ahnung, wieviel Strom das insgesamt ist.

Kleine Planänderung im Selfhosting-Keller. 😄

Eigentlich sollte meine Friendica-Instanz als Nächstes vom VPS auf einen Rootserver umziehen. Nach den aktuellen Preiserhöhungen habe ich das Projekt aber erstmal eingefroren.

Der VPS läuft stabil, Friendica macht was es soll – also gibt es gerade keinen guten Grund, nur fürs schönere Server-Regal unnötig mehr Geld zu verbrennen. 😅

Heißt im Umkehrschluss:
Ein Projekt weniger auf der Liste und wieder etwas mehr Zeit für anderen Nerdkram. :smile:

Mal schauen, was als Nächstes eskaliert.

🤔 Packe ich HomeAssistant als podman Container auf meinen allerliebsten SPOF ❤️ oder als Image auf einen Raspberry Pi 4?

Bisher hat jede Schreibaktivität auf dem Raspi immer früher oder später dafür gesorgt, dass die SD-Karte (egal welche) ausgelutscht war und ich alles wieder neuinstallieren durfte.

Trying out Dockhand today. Excited/curious to see how this compares to Komodo.

Hey Kiwis,
I have some computer hardware for sale. I’m helping a friend off-load what used to be a media server in a desktop tower format. I’ve wiped all the data for them and verified it works with an installation of Ubuntu 26. They don’t need it and just want it sold, either together or in parts.

- 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11500 x 12
- 16gb RAM (DDR5 I think?)
- Intel Graphics RKL GT1
- Roughly 80TB of storage across HDDs and SSDs (5 x 1TB SSDs, 2 of those M.2 style)

If there is more technical info you’d like let me know. They haven’t sorted a price yet, but make a reasonable offer that isn’t silly and I can pass it on. They’re just trying to do some tidying and cleaning.

(Fyi, I may buy one of the M.2SSDs myself, but that’s the best thing to run the OS off of so I won’t take both!)

Any good idea where to still find affordable larger HDDs (that aren't about to die)? Willing to go on an EU roadtrip for it. Perhaps someone knows someone, or something fell off a truck…

I refuse to sunset our idea of a capable family homeserver, especially now that streaming subscriptions get canceled left and right. Unfortunately we miss the worst parts… RAM and HDDs.

I'm aware the question is crazy…

Apparently you can get a 16U full-size rack for $120 now.

I just don’t know what I’d put in it, because I don’t want to buy “enterprise” hardware.

Alright, time to ruin a perfectly good long weekend with Kubernetes and networking.

@poVoq Yes!

Debian, in general, is the recurring most valuable player, in my self-hosting journey.

@dbtechyt I sort of lucked into learning Python. It has been increasingly helpful for self-hosting, over the years.

This is not a good resource for me.. there goes my weekend out of the window!
