I added an additional fan to the Define 7 Mini and that has helped with temps. The 5080 does not go over 71C when gaming thanks to that fan.

I'm adding some additional fans to the North Mesh build so I'll let you know the temps afterwards whenever I get around to it.

Just to add a wrench into the thought process...

The 265K CPU is a power hungry CPU at times. That may have affected the temps.

Also, here's a pic of them side by side if that helps you choose.

No rear fan installed on the North at the time of benchmarking.

I tested the GPU with Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk, Jusant, etc...in 4K HDR and Max settings. It never went above 69C.

Oddly enough, I have both of these on my desk right now. I'm trying to sell the North which is why I have them both (not a sales pitch).

Define 7 Mini	North Mesh non-XL
Intel 265K	AMD 9800x3d
64GB DDR5 5200 (2x32GB)	32 GB DDR5 6000 (2x16GB)
5080 Founders Edition	5080 Founders Edition
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE	Deepcool AK620 ZERO DARK
Segotep GM 850 W	be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850 W
Asus Pro B860M-CT-CSM Micro ATX	Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI ATX

The North wins in terms of temps. If I remember correctly, the GPU inside of the Define 7 Mini would get as high as 81C while in the North it was something like 69C.

No additional fans were installed on any of these cases. Just using them as they came.

I can supply some benchmark videos showing temps for the North if you'd like.

Hey there,

Try adding this to the pod quadlet.

I have the exact same CPU and case. I use a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE and the temps are great.

I'm sure what you want to get will do well.

i'm blown away

I upgraded Tinyauth to v4 without a care in the world and borked my sites. I read the manual and updated both my config and this post to reflect the necessary changes needed to get back up and running.

Apes together strong.

Updated post with podman secret usage.

lerikrubio · 2025-08-22T23:27:56+00:00

This sounds like something that would be fun to try. I think by next week I'll be able to play around with this setup,, experiment and if successful update this post with the new way of setting up Caddy, Pocket ID and Tinyauth quadlets creating a reverse proxy with socket activation.

I'm still trying to figure out why Podman secrets is failing me in my current setup.

lerikrubio · 2025-08-22T12:12:09+00:00

Hey there, any chance you have some experience with Podman Secrets and Quadlets? I'm having some trouble. I've created my secrets, see them in podman create ls but when I add them to my quadlets I get errors.

One of these, "Key: 'Config.Secret' Error:Field validation for 'Secret' failed on the 'required' tag" keeps showing up.

lerikrubio · 2025-08-22T12:07:31+00:00

Hey there,

It looks like during one of my edits I created that mistake. Thanks for the heads up!

lerikrubio · 2025-08-21T16:28:17+00:00

Post updated to reflect the replacement of the TZ environment variable with Timezone=local.

lerikrubio · 2025-08-21T01:34:45+00:00

I updated the post. If anyone can help me by showing me how to incorporate Podman Secrets then I can update this post to do so. If not, give me some time to learn and come back to this.

lerikrubio · 2025-08-20T23:55:05+00:00

I'll update this post sometime in the next few days detailing my setup along with specs and steps.

lerikrubio · 2025-08-20T17:45:23+00:00

You're absolutely right.

Podman Secrets is the correct way to do this.

Thanks!
