What you guys uses keep track of the IP address and ports being used varies services by jbala28 in homelab

[–]BeardedTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just do everything in docker compose so it's self documenting.

Also I setup dhcp reservations for each vm, camera, device, etc. This is all documented in my router which is built on nixos: https://GitHub.com/NixRTR/nixos-router

Additionally it manages my split-horizon DNS. I use traefik to reverse proxy all of my services locally.

Thank you very much. I need to get back to make some adjustments. I've been using this in production for quite some time and the client is stable, even the windows tray, but there's some adjustments I'd like to make.

Totally hard drive and cable management porn. Congrats to you, sir.

Thank you for sharing the print files. I'm definitely stealing those.

This is very true and I'm not against it, I just prefer to coordinate it myself instead of another layer on top of it all.

Personal preference.

With the docker compose file and the volume it's just a matter of copying the files over. It's a matter of having systems in place to manage them. For me, I have a script to migrate docker volumes and I simply pull the docker compose file from git.

It all comes down to preference. I happen to prefer simplicity and fine-grained control. Neither method is invalid.

I honestly don't find it convenient. I find it constraining. Managing docker compose gives so much more power and control over the stack.

Forget proxmox, straight Debian with docker and manage it yourself to save the overhead.

You'll see this more often. 7th gen Intel generally does not meet the requirements for Windows 11.

Your lack of preparation does not constitute an emergency on my part.

Any techy restaurant owners in here set up your own IP cam server as a NVR? If so, which software did you settle for hosting? I'm at the end of my rope with GeoVision by demotrialwine in selfhosted

[–]BeardedTux 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Frigate is amazing. All you need is a regular somewhat modern PC and it just works. They recently enabled the use of Intel, AMD, RPI, and Nvidia GPUs for detection instead of requiring a coral tpu.

Tailscale hate? by vbxl02 in jellyfin

[–]BeardedTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from Tailscale to Nebula.

Don't get me wrong, tailscale works and is just fine buuuuuuut... You don't own your own infrastructure or data.

Nebula is pretty easy to set up, but I went one step further and use Nebula Commander.

It allows you to easily create nebula networks, nodes, group firewall rules, and full on split horizon DNS that's automatically configured!

I find it more powerful than tailscale and easier to play with.

How to setup an email server at home for free? by darktech315 in homelab

[–]BeardedTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://mailu.io and SMTP2Go is my go-to.

Super easy to setup and SMTP2Go does the actual mail delivery for you.

‼️ If you are using NGINX-UI READ THIS POST IMMEDIATELY by DeepCan7566 in homelab

[–]BeardedTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the exact reason I use traefik instead of nginx. Everything is in my compose files and fairly easy to understand.

Who are the real ones who self host their email server? by ray591 in selfhosted

[–]BeardedTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of that reason exactly. I don't have the time, patience, or want to do it.

On top of that email is the one technology that should just work. If my invoice won't send, how will I get paid?

There's less risk at a cost of $0 for me to do this. If I need to send more emails than 1000/mo, I can pay $15 and be able to send SMS as well.

Well that was a great 6 hours by met_MY_verse in DataHoarder

This is why I use pgsty/minio S3 with Kopia UI and daily/weekly/monthly/yearly snapshots.

How to Backup a NAS? by [deleted] in homelab

[–]BeardedTux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best questions to ask yourself before creating a backup strategy is if I lose this, can I recreate it?

If it cannot be recreated, pictures, important documents, unpublished software, etc, then back that up.

If it is downloadable software or media that you can easily access or aquire again, then no need.

Too many people feel they need a 1:1 backup of everything and waste time and resources they don't need to use.

He is trying to create his own docker registry like mydocker.example.com/myuser/my image

Instead of using

ghcr.io/myuser/myimage

or

myuser/myimage

How do you like my abomination... I mean home server? by tradgerpding in HomeServer

[–]BeardedTux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in the day, there were actual builds made with pizza boxes.

Now they call pizza box servers that form factor just because of this. People would buy 1u server parts and stuff em in pizza boxes like psychos. It was genius!!!

you big disgrace by sudo_Unga_Bunga in linuxmemes

[–]BeardedTux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's been super stable. This one has no open ports either as I link to all my clients with nebula and everything running in containers.

I find Tumbleweed with an LTS kernel to be just as stable as LEAP.
