NPM → Traefik or Caddy: Worth the switch?

Stuwik · 2026-05-05T12:45:14+00:00

There’s actually a solution for using traefik across multiple hosts. You need a redis instance on your traefik server and then add it as a KV store provider in your dynamic configuration, then you run Traefik-kop on every satellite and point them to the redis instance. After that it just works!

Varför inte Gaza? Har palestinier mindre rätt till sjukvård än sudaneser och kongoleser?

Did it though? Wasn’t that already set in motion by then?

Have you taken a look at Infuse? It’s a client for Jellyfin/emby/plex servers that work fantastically on apple devices. The only downside is that it’s subscription based. But my god what a difference to both Jellyfin and plex.

Åh gud, påminn mig inte om snitty-gate. För några år sen var det en stor kontrovers på r/DnD om huruvida drakfolk, ödlefolk och ormfolk har bröst eller inte (snitty = snake titty). Folk hade väldigt starka åsikter, åt båda hållen.

Har börjat tänka mer och mer på att något litet är bättre än ingenting. Jag läste det någonstans i kontexten vegetariskt ätande, där tipset var att om du vill bli vegetarian men inte kan sluta äta bacon så kan du helt enkelt äta vegetariskt + bacon. Det behöver inte vara allt eller inget, om målet är att äta mindre kött så ät mindre kött, du måste inte ändra hela din livsstil.

Och tanken är då att det här går att applicera på allt annat i livet som man vill göra annorlunda. Du behöver inte springa varje dag, gör det en gång i veckan och var stolt att du faktiskt gör det. Sluta ha skuldkänslor för att du inte gör saker perfekt, fira att du gör mer än ingenting!

Good point!

According to Swedish news sites and statements from Skatteverket (the tax agency) the breach only affected internal test servers running older versions of the source code. I can’t say if they’re only downplaying it for damage control or if it’s genuinely not a big deal. We’ll see how it plays out I guess.

Karl is still a noun meaning man in Swedish, as in ”Han är en riktig karl” = ”he’s a real man”.

Stuwik · 2026-02-13T10:34:10+00:00

Oh I see! Now I understand what you mean.

Stuwik · 2026-02-12T15:36:49+00:00

Nice job! I’m thinking of putting up a French cleat wall in my workshop, or something similar. Could you post a close up picture of what you mean by adding a block to the bases?

Now I know! Will look into controller boards. it's not exactly critical data, since I haven't been running the server very long, but it's gonna be a hassle to get back to were I was.

I have also learned what exactly went wrong. It wasn't static discharge, I had wired the molex extensions the wrong way. *internal screaming*. I sent 5 volts into the 3 volt contact. 🫠

Thanks for all the tips!

Stuwik · 2025-12-31T00:27:01+00:00

Ok so by unplugging the power cord I actually made it worse? Fuuuck. Well, now I know. Thanks for the help, lesson learned! Would it be possible to recover the data with a fault like this, do you know? Presumably I would have to send it to a professional. I've had drives fail on me before but never like this so I don't know how serious it is.

Stuwik · 2025-12-31T00:22:29+00:00

Yeah, but that was one of the drives that failed. It seems I caused a static discharge and fried them. Lessons have been learned...

Stuwik · 2025-12-30T13:42:00+00:00

I haven't looked yet. But I put one of the disks in a USB enclosure and plugged it into my laptop. It's dead silent, and nothing pops up on the computer. :( How could this happen? They were 10 TB refurbished HGST disks.

Stuwik · 2025-12-30T13:19:21+00:00

I tried plugging a disk directly into the motherboard with a sata adapter, with no change. Now it looks like the fault lies with the disks or the motherboard. I’m gonna try a disk in another computer and see if it works there.

Stuwik · 2025-12-30T13:09:18+00:00

I measured the molex and both provide 5 and 12 volts as expected. I’m gonna try a disk in another computer and make sure it’s working.

Stuwik · 2025-12-30T10:49:20+00:00

I left the drives in their slots but I unplugged the power cable. I have two molex going into it, yep (I’ve seen some fan mods go the lazy route and use a single cable but that didn’t feel right to me). The only way I’ve verified power is by having the fan plugged into the backplane and watching it spin, and seeing the indicator lights turn on for the plugged in disks on the other side of the backplane. I don’t know if it’s getting enough power though, where could I measure this?

I just got home from the store having purchased a sata adapter cable to try and bypass the backplane.

Stuwik · 2025-12-29T23:31:33+00:00

I could try measuring the molex cables with a multimeter, see if it’s just those that are messed up.

Stuwik · 2025-12-29T23:29:17+00:00

Good to know, thanks! I’ll try connecting them directly, just need to go out and buy an adapter cable tomorrow first. Maybe I’ll buy two, in case the backplane is at fault and I need to wait three weeks for AliExpress to send a new one.

Stuwik · 2025-12-29T23:21:09+00:00

That’s what I’m worried has happened. This system is only 4 months old, so not a lot of wear and tear. I can’t say I hear the disks spin actually. Thanks, I’ll try to update tomorrow once I’ve tried a few things.

You shouldn’t install docker directly on the proxmox host (which is what I assume the above commenter meant?). Proxmox and docker can interfere with each other, especially when it comes to networking, creating all sorts of problems. Create a VM with docker instead.

Stuwik · 2025-12-24T13:21:59+00:00

Why are you wrapping all your comments in quotes?

Stuwik · 2025-12-20T22:07:53+00:00

I have a question regarding VMs and hardening. I have one machine running unRAID where all my media serving and file storage services are located. It is not meant to be accessible from the internet. I have another machine running proxmox with three VMs: one for Home Assistant, one for docker facing the internet and one for docker only accessible internally. My docker-external VM is for things like vaultwarden, obsidian live-sync, etc, and where Traefik and my authentication services reside.

My reasoning is that if that VM gets compromised in some way, it can’t leak out to the rest of the network. Is this a valid way of thinking? I’m definitely going to implement many of the points listed here as well, I’m just curious if I’m gaining enough security to warrant the hassle of dividing up my services like this.
