I know for many of us every day is selfhosting day, but I liked the alliteration. Or do you have fixed dates for maintenance and tinkering?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

This post is proudly sent from my very own Lemmy instance that runs at my homeserver since about ten days. So far, it’s been a very nice endeavor.

    Been messing around w/ podman, and after hours of slamming my head against the wall, I decided Seafile isn’t worth it. :) It launches a bunch of stuff inside one container, and I just couldn’t figure out how to get that to work w/ quadlet (worked fine w/ podman kube play though).

    I got forgejo set up and now I’m looking into setting up runners so I can finally migrate off hosted gitlab onto my own forgejo instance.

    Some other things I’m planning on doing this week:

    • migrate existing services to podman quadlet from docker compose - will make each existing service into a pod and play w/ pod networking
    • set up technitium - tested it locally and it worked well, so just need to move it and configure it; hope to use it as the primary DNS for my house
    • set up owncloud ocis - there’s a new POSIX FS option, which was my main hangup when I last looked into a nextcloud alternative (I only need storage + collabora)
    • probably some kind of dashboard, because the number of services I host is getting a bit long

    If I get time, I want to install openSUSE MicroOS onto my NAS and start migrating everything to it (from openSUSE Leap). I really like the idea of an immutable base OS, and my NAS is already 90% containers (pretty much just Samba left). I need to fix some permission issues anyway (keep having to chown my videos so samba and jellyfin can work together), and this should make things a bit more obvious.

    I’ll probably also start a blog about my self-hosting journey, because the info around podman is kinda sparse, especially when it comes to quadlet.

    Edit: got OCIS working, but it was a bit of a pain. Starting that blog really sounds like a good idea…
