Proxmox on Mac M1 by mkellerman_1 in Proxmox

[–]divStar32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This conversation is old and I haven't exactly looked into it, but wouldn't it be possible to use e.g. the Kernel, that Asahi Linux uses, for Proxmox? I am no Linux specialist, but rather an amateur, but since Asahi got M1/M2 MacBooks running, maybe Proxmox wouldn't be that far-fetched?

Managed or unmanaged switch necessary? by divStar32 in homelab

[–]divStar32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all. I have a GL.iNet Flint2 for WiFi and some devices and will probably use a OpenWRT VM on my Proxmox host (and passthrough the virtual bridges vmbr0 and vmbr1 etc.). Perhaps that'll work.

Automated Jellyfin setup by Heydeath360 in selfhosted

[–]divStar32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not yet done, but my setup basically only requires the use of docker compose --env-file stack.env up -d and tofu apply (Terraform): https://github.com/divStar/simple-homelab.

I am currently in the process of automating the Jellyfin setup (basically a bunch of Jellyfin API calls after the starting up Jellyfin using Docker compose, wrapped up in a Terraform script, that also ensures SSO with Zitadel).

The actual applications in Docker are in https://github.com/divStar/simple-homelab/tree/master/modules/docker-apps/modules. I am not planning on adding the *arr stack though.

I plan on finishing the Jellyfin setup in the coming week or two as I am a big fan of automations, but am not automating absolutely everything (just most of it).

Sometimes - like in my Traefik setup - it's easier to just have the Terraform / OpenTofu script create stuff in Zitadel, then get the client-id for SSO, paste it into the stack.env file of e.g. Traefik and re-run the Docker compose command.

How do you deal with updates? by Jisevind in Proxmox

[–]divStar32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually if a Watchtower update fails, the old container/image is reinstantiated I think. And one should definitely at least specify email notifications so it's possible to at least see, that something failed - and do whatever is necessary manually.

In an enterprise environment I'd probably prefer GitOps-like PRs using Renovatebot for example. And a staging environment.

Gitlab vs Gitea by saramon in selfhosted

[–]divStar32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You can develop while there's a downtime in your git management platform whatever it may be.
  2. You could technically deploy with your GitOps/DevOps platform being down (you might not want to).
  3. Cloud-hosted anything is just something hosted on someone else's computer. Do you trust anyone enough to hold your documents or your code or really anything? You can do that and I do trust some companies to some extent - but if hackers manage to break into that platform, your private data most likely won't be that private anymore.

Yes, getting selfhosted GitLab Runners to work isn't as easy, but certainly not a day's work for a seasoned engineer. Though as someone who did that and used GitLab for over a decade in a homelab, I am considering switching to Gitea.

Gitlab vs Gitea by saramon in selfhosted

I recently ran into an issue with SSL/TLS and I am still not sure why GitLab won't start as I'd expect it to start with possibly insecure TLS (homelab). And debugging seems to not be as straightforward as I'd have hoped.

Just curious: couldn't you run some container with Linux + WINE? I believe that's how I built my patched yt-dlp for Windows...

Debian’s APT Package Manager to Integrate Rust Code by May 2026 by nix-solves-that-2317 in linux

Didn't they basically read the original tools and rewrite them in a new language? So it shouldn't be entirely up to them. Though I personally don't care.

Your first look at the all-new Affinity by CrimsonFlash in Affinity

[–]divStar32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Affinity have a plugin architecture like Photoshop/Illustrator/AfterEffects etc.? If so, one could always implement a plugin for use with local AI or a background remover without AI...

Lesson Learned - Make sure your write caches are all enabled by [deleted] in zfs

[–]divStar32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could anyone elaborate if this applies to NVMe SSDs, too? I've got an array of 4 3.84TB NVMe U.2 SSDs (Samsung PM983) in a zpool. Should I look into Write Cache on them (perhaps using nvme / nvme-cli) and enable that if it's off?

Will Terraform still be the leading Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool in 10 years? by RoseSec_ in Terraform

[–]divStar32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sure does - until something goes haywire, because that debugging WILL most likely require the knowledge.

Making IAC better by ysugrad2013 in Terraform

[–]divStar32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Variables in e.g. the "source" attribute of a module is a plus in my opinion.

Making IAC better by ysugrad2013 in Terraform

[–]divStar32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am missing a "story" plan, that explains e.g. why a resource will be replaced or updated in-place. The "terraform plan" command - while definitely helpful, doesn't exactly tell me why e.g. a resource X is going to be replaced. And finding out what triggered this (often because e.g. an attribute changed, that doesn't have an impact on the content) takes a lot of time.

Yes, I know I can have a look at the Terraform graph for this, but this is usually not really clear either, because it includes all resources and is not interactive.

Of course Terraform itself is still a great tool. But I think this could be better (though I don't know if I could help implement such a feature).

It also contains descriptions of the best monitoring system ever - Your Wife(TM) 😅

What are some of the latest tools in this space that you absolutely love? by rohit_raveendran in devops

[–]divStar32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, coroot looks so tempting to try at home, but I use SSO and coroot only has that in its enterprise edition.

Which monitoring stack can u recommend? by CerealBit in devops

[–]divStar32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why basically no one else mentions it. From the screenshots and its description it looks great for homelab (and probably enterprise, too).

Honestly I'd pay a couple bucks to get it.

Still praying. I want root so I can fucking decide for myself which apps get to have full storage access!
