Nothing like a quiet Saturday abusing the homelab with video encoding.

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.

The #homelab is noodling all our >5000 documents for the initial #paperless import. Kinda stupid that paperless bluntly requeues everything *in addition again* when you restart it (e.g. to fine tune import settings).

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

Best note taking app for selfhosting? #docker #homelab #notes #app

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!

The server is only a few months old and already has its first 4TB disk full.

Shout out to Uptime Kuma. Just lovely. If you use BetterStack or UptimeRobot but want ot self-host your uptime monitor, check out Uptime Kuma

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?

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.

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...

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

FYI all, portainer is giving away 3 node business licenses. #kubernetes support since the last time I visited their site, so I'm interested in checking how well that interacts with #talos.
Some of my #homelab machines currently just run a few containers in #docker_compose stacks for services my #homeassistant server is using like node red and I've been using #portainer for simple things like checking status or restarting things without having to ssh into those workers. Most of those containers are going to get migrated into my #k8s cluster, so it'll be interesting to see how well it works as a quick web interface.

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.
#aws #homelab

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.

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

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.
