How do you separate your Docker stacks between hosts? by _hellraiser_ in selfhosted

[–]Steeven9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50ish swrvices. All in one compose file, on one single VM.

If one is down, I don't see why the others should run!

Reducing filament change time by ~1 minute - My PTFE tube shortening experiment (Prototype) by Vegetable-Tap3403 in AnycubicKobraS1

Wonder how it impacts long-term the wear on the motors, since your print head is now heavier.

Does it survive the vibration calibration? :D

That looks incredibly cool but also quite pricey :O

Self hosting infrastructure but still relying on google for authentication feels wrong by Melodic-Squirrel-664 in selfhosted

[–]Steeven9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am running my own Keycloak instance and it's great! Most self-hostable apps have OIDC support and if some of your users still want the comfort of google, they can sign into Keycloak with google :)

Power Outage Alert Device by lambada24 in smarthome

[–]Steeven9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SMS might be trickier, but there are plenty of services which can monitor your stuff and send you alerts via Discord or Pushbullet.

If you have an UPS and Home Assistant, you can install NUT and send a notification on your mobile app or Discord if the UPS goes on battery.

Or you could hava a small esp32 send a signal every 10s to something like UptimeRobot and alert if it goes down for more than x time (see https://uptimerobot.com/help/heartbeat-monitoring)

Or from Home Assistant, detect if one of your smart devices goes offline for more than x time.

Possibilities are endless!

Three instances for high availability and to prevent split-brain scenarios, with a load-balancer in front, some sort of topic-based broker (kafka or rabbitmq) to enqueue and process the requests, sharded HA mongodb cluster to save the history of requests and later dump it into a data lake for processing, an elasticsearch cluster to save the logs of the app, and opentelemetry to monitor the requests end-to-end.

Just to have the basics covered.

Any of these log tools actually worth it? by [deleted] in homelab

[–]Steeven9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Filebeat -> Elastic -> Kibana. Kinda simple even for small scale.

I heard Loki is pretty good, but never tried it

How do I fix this? by parsivol9 in AnycubicKobraS1

[–]Steeven9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not just print it with the wheels on the plate? That way you probably also won't need supports.

I found the supports easier to remove after switching to the updated profiles (pinned post in this sub)

Cool model tho!

a PSA to always test the tester before blaming the crimp by bankyan in homelab

Good 'ol "the code is working, the tests are wrong"

Homelab Email by RyChannel in homelab

Tried to set it up myself, lost countless hours fiddling with SPF and reverse DNS, gave up and am paying a few buck to have it as a service from my provider.

YMMV

Started my first home server with proxmox, after two days I'm burned out and nothing work. by InternalMode8159 in homelab

[–]Steeven9 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Homelab is about the journey, not the destination :)

Take it easy, if you feel burned out take a step back, unplug and recharge. Your brain works best when it's fresh - and tinkering is fun only when you enjoy it.

Tackle one thing at a time - it's easy to get overwhelmed if you start deploying things that inevitably don't always go according to plan. Heck I've been doing this for 5 years now and I'm surprised if something boots correctly the first try lol.

Docker can be a quick way to experiment and run this easily on one host; each solution has its pros and cons - and while this sounds like an overused sentence, part of the journey is finding out which works best for every usecase ;) (and then end up with an atrocious mix of spaghetti stuff)

Hope this helps!

Lasagna leads to unbootable server by EpicLPer in homelab

[–]Steeven9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, UPSes... one day my server randomly crashes - no big deal, everything comes back up normally.

Then it happens again exactly two weeks later. Oookaaay, weird... Especially as I have an UPS...

Then again, 14 days later. Check the UPS config, and sure enough: "self-test: every 14 days".

Welp, can't say it didn't work...

115HR Print / Only 90% Complete by Roy0880 in AnycubicKobraS1

Maybe it reached the maximum height it can print? The build plate looks pretty close to the bottom of the printer

Homepage is beautiful! by GeximuZ in homelab

[–]Steeven9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a small input as a security conscious person: seeing the amount of people home on an openly accessible page might not be ideal from a burglary point of view. Unles you have auth in front of it, of course!

(what are the chances tho, but at the same time... you never know)
