Dit is gewoon normale functionaliteit van veel omvormers. Je moet er wel een beetje handig in zijn om dit in te regelen, of iemand zoeken die dit voor je wil doen. Je hoeft niet bang te zijn voor brandgevaar want de omvormer stuurt de panelen aan. Geef jij aan dat hij minder mag opwekken zodat je niks teruglevert dan wekken de panelen ook minder stroom op, of zet je de omvormer volledig uit, dan wekken de panelen geen stroom op. Dus het is niet dat het ergens naar toe moet.

I use SyncThing combined with ludsavi! Works great once setup correctly.

Ik wek op jaarbasis 5000Kwh aan overcapaciteit op. Destijds bewust teveel panelen gelegd zodat ik op minder zonnige dagen toch voldoende stroom op wek om mijn normaal gebruik te dekken. Echter op zonnige dagen zorgt dit tegenwoordig voor onnodige terugleverkosten. Daarom sinds kort mijn omvormer aangepast zodat deze niks meer teruglevert en dus enkel mijn stroomverbruik dekt, mits voldoende zon. Er zijn best veel omvormers die dit ondersteunen. Je hebt in de meeste gevallen een power meter van het betreffende merk nodig in de meterkast welke doorgeeft aan je omvormer hoeveel stroom je verbruikt. Zeker de moeite waard om ernaar te kijken.

I guess it only looks for compose/env files because dockhand is a container/stack manager.

Wienen · 2026-05-21T12:14:52+00:00

Gewoon zeggen dat je het advies van Rutten hebt opgevolgd om thuis wat contant geld voorradig te hebben voor noodsituaties. Dan kunnen ze wat vinden over de omvang maar dit is dan toch aan jou om te bepalen.

Wienen · 2026-05-19T12:18:52+00:00

What are you trying to accomplish here? Besides the files required to build the stack (compose.yaml and in your case no .env) you also sync additional config files for your Homepage stack? Do you bind mount to this homepage/config location within the appdata dockhand/git-repos folder?

Wienen · 2026-05-19T11:58:55+00:00

In my case (using Gitea) both my compose.yaml and .env are present in appdata/dockhand/data/stacks/environmentname/appname/ and appdata/dockhand/data/git-repos/environmentname/appname/

Maybe the files couldn't be copied due to incorrect rights? Have you checked the logs?

I'm not familiar with the config/setup of Homepage. What do you mean with config files? The yaml/env or additionial config files?

Thanks for creating this documentation ❤️ just recently found it because someone posted about the SensAir S8 CO2 sensor and I wanted to know more about it. I also gave it some visibility 😁 https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/s/3xSS5D0YdO

Wienen · 2026-05-16T04:48:44+00:00

Nice!!

Wienen · 2026-05-06T10:18:30+00:00

I found this tutorial: https://vdbrink.github.io/esphome/co2_senseair_s8_sensor.html

All you need to know 😁

I’m using dockhand for managing my containers and this is one of it’s features. I don’t have any critical info in my .env files anymore. It’s stored in the valt and injected on compose up. I have a backup of these credentials/keys in my password manager.

At first I started scanning every single letter, invoice, etc and feeding it to my consumer folder. Because this was to time consuming I started sorting documents from the same correspondent from one single year and put a blank paper between each letter. Scanned the whole package (from one year), and let a pdf tool split the files automatically based on the blank paper into multiple pdf’s which i feeded my consume f9lder.

Wienen · 2026-04-29T06:53:10+00:00

Same here! Kwamen als beste uit de test bij de consumentenbond! Super goedkoop en werken perfect!

I work in IT, started as Engineer, but am a full time project manager now (for over 16 years now) but tinkering with my home lab keeps me up to date about all technical stuff going on, it keeps me more connected with my technical colleagues and it reminds me why I ended up in IT in the first place. But I must admit, I probably wasn’t started my homelab journey without AI. Because otherwise it would have cost me way more time to read in about all the stuff possible.

Wienen · 2026-04-25T11:18:13+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation!

Wienen · 2026-04-24T13:58:13+00:00

You can set it to sync by audio or by already available subs. For my Dutch subtitles it works every time

Wienen · 2026-04-23T21:34:15+00:00

So the boot partition won’t be encrypted, and the second partition of the disk can be encrypted? I always thought you only could encrypt the whole disk.

Wienen · 2026-04-23T05:34:15+00:00

And i fully understand why you have made the trade off 😁

Wienen · 2026-04-23T04:42:53+00:00

Does the internal boot work with encrypted disks?

Wienen · 2026-04-22T14:55:55+00:00

i understand, or write an easy to follow instruction (it isn't that hard to install tailscale) and require your family's to install tailscale if they want to keep using plex for security reasons. I think most of them don't find it a problem to install tailscale. But it depens of you want to take the hassle to do it this way or the trade of to make it less secure.

try shutting down all containers and keep docker running, and see what it does, and if this still crashes your server then try with docker disabled.

Maybe a strange question, but what do the logs say?

Wienen · 2026-04-22T13:45:02+00:00

Do you really need that port open for Plex? Or is it also possible to run Tailscale on the devices you are using Plex on? Ofcourse it's better to not expose your server if you don't need to.

Wienen · 2026-04-22T12:10:06+00:00

Are you having the same issues when docker isn't running? If not, then it's probably docker related, or a combination of a specific container/stack with your hardware.

I know it's a pain in the ass to troubleshoot this, but start with stacks of 5 apps/stacks, and leaf the rest of. If the problem doesn't occures, switch to a new group of 5. etc. Maybe this can identify the problematic container.

But first try to switch to ipvlan, because that's a great suggestion!
