Heads up for the #homelab / #selfhosting community: #minio has gone source-only and will no longer build new docker images, and the latest version of the image contains an 8.1/10 privilege escalati…

Docker release? · Issue #21647 · minio/minio
Hello, I did not find a new image for the security release Security/CVE RELEASE.2025-10-15T17-29-55Z, on quay.io nor DockerHub. Is it expected? If it isn’t, can you please push a new release for th...

Since I'm shutting down lanecloud, there's a few tiny things I need to re-home.
Did you know that the ultimate homelab challenge is to not deploy clustered and HA services, when you know how to do it?
#selfhosted #homelab

Finished cleaning up the cabling and getting the Beelink properly installed in the minirack. Overall, I miss the Pis because they looked pretty cool, but I'm not gonna complain: this looks pretty good as well.
The doggo wasn't quite as impressed.

Leveling Up My #Homelab
https://cweagans.net/2025/09/leveling-up-my-homelab/

Lost a rook ceph node this week, most likely power supply related. Moved the drives to another shell, boot and back in business 😃
Now to work out what has failed and why……
#homelab

With this being the first Raspberry Pi 5 of the cluster, and since those are notorious for running hotter than the Pi 4. Which I did extensive testing on last year: https://blog.wyrihaximus.net/2024/12/building-a-kubernetes-homelab-w…

Did anyone notice the AWS outage first hand here?
I only noticed around 7 hours after the news site articles were published, and that was from someone asking me what AWS was haha.

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeLab
There is a @… bot that replaces the old gup.pe homelab bot.
Mention it in your homelab posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the homelab posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.

I went cold-turkey with caffeine 10 days ago.
After a few days of severe headaches and generally not feeling great - I started actually to sleep better, and thanks to that - I have more energy during the days, generally in a better mood, and I am finally feeling inspired to do fun stuff again.
Just finished my next meshtastic solar node, and currently fixing up my homelab that has been neglected for 7 month or so.

Fellow homelabbers, especially those of you with mini PC clusters…:
Do you run a UPS?
How does one go about sizing?
#homelab #kubernetes

[root@localhost:~] df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
VMFS-6 225.2G 192.9G 32.3G 86% /vmfs/volumes/samsung970evoplus
VMFS-6 1.8T 1.4G 1.8T 0% /vmfs/volumes/wdblacksn7100-2tb
Finally added some storage to the homelab.

Hi @… !
It happened: my raspberry pi is too small for my homelab. What would you recommend I upgrade to?
I heard mini PCs are all the rage, but where to start? Any good guides available?
#selfHosting

Ran into a weird issue with macOS and iTerm 2 while experimenting with #talos over the weekend.
Short version: I had to quit iTerm, reset the local network security permission for it and restart it before I could run talosctl from my a session in iTerm. Maddeningly it was working from a session in Terminal.app
The long version is at #homelab #iterm2

I'm in Australia right now. I can boot my home PC via Wake On LAN to access my files if I have to. I placed a webcam in front of it so that I can verify that it actually does so.
It's weird seeing my computer 16.500 km away from me. It feels like my own little Mars mission. Especially with how SSH feels at 300-400 ms latency.
And yes, that's a drinking glass I forgot on my desk.
#HomeLab

I'm still on #Proxmox 8, I fear that upgrading might break something when I really don't have too much time to fix it.
Am I missing out? How easy is the upgrade and is it likely to break something?
Cheers!

Anyone know of a good email sender/smtp server that I can use for my homelab?
Maybe something free who will send 1,000 emails or less per month?

DNS. It's always DNS. Nextcloud server down? No... It's just DNS. *sigh*
#homelab

Nothing like hanging out with the family for Thanksgiving. My social battery ran out early with 20 people in the house, but all of my homelab work prepared me for this moment: Tailscale and `mpv` while I chill and watch some videos.

If you can't accomplish most of what you want to do in a homelab with VMs on a laptop or docker containers on a 16GB Raspberry Pi, and RAM prices are what's keeping you down, consider buying some old-ass server or Dell workstation instead. You'll pay more in power, and performance won't be cutting-edge, but REG ECC DDR3 is under $1/GB on AliExpress, and you can still slap a 5090 into into the box if you insist (with some degree of PCIe throttling that shouldn't bother you…

Where do homelab and self hosting stuff fall exactly?

Decided to give Postgresus a go for managing my DB backups and monitoring. Connected Vaultwarden and Immich's DBs to it, have them backing up to Backblaze B2 for offsite backups, and connected email and Discord notifications just in case the DBs eat themselves somehow. The backups work pretty well, gonna see how things go with it.

got to spend some time tinkering with my router today...
added Podman, bpftune and a Podman rustnet wrapper to clammy-ng.
rustnet is pretty cool. It's a nice blend between iftop, tshark, and something decent to look at. I hope they can add some more robust filtering. They recently added some eBPF support, but its hard for me to tell what its being used for.

I'm setting up a talos cluster to tinker with at home and want to use my Synology for persistent volume storage.
I set up the NFS nfs-subdir-external-provisioner on my talos cluster and documented how at #talos #kubernetes #k8s #homelab #nfs @…

Decided to actually start migrating stuff off of Github seriously. While I did move a few repos to Codeberg, I decided to just go with the whole self-hosted route and put the homelab to work by standing up my own Forgejo instance. Wasn't too bad, went with a Postgres database and the migration tool worked pretty well. So far so good...

New work laptop. I don't want to sign it into my #Apple account for obvious reasons.
Connect my Apple trackpad to the new work machine and it works fine.
Try to reconnect the trackpad to my personal Mac so I can do some homelab stuff over the weekend, not so fine. It shows up in the BT menu, but won't actually connect until I have the laptop forget the device.
Ok, I think, I'll just connect it wired since I only use the trackpad at my desk at home anyway.
That doesn't work because why would you want to be able to plug in a device with a wire and have it Just Work when instead you could get to fuck around with Bluetooth.
And of course I get to do the forget device bullshit again in order to use it with my work laptop today
