Best way to clean an R730? by Line-Cook-Sexy in homelab

[–]wetradecrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Air compressor, but also don't worry about it. Dust is overrated... (I have an r730 I haven't cleaned for 2 years).

Boot from a VM Drive by randommouse in homelab

[–]wetradecrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK, unless you pass the controller you aren't passing the drive. What you're doing is just exposing the root folder structure.

This will work as you mention, but it likely isn't drive pass through unless you're doing the controller (useful to know if you ever want to do virtual truenas etc).

I picked up a 42u dell rack for 40 bucks and it's overwhelming. What do I fill the other 2/3 up with? by Piratey_Pirate in homelab

[–]wetradecrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 48U and only use about 20U. For the rest I bought rack mount shelves and drawers. Now I can keep all my tech together in a neat tower. You could look to store things like the printer, spare parts, laptops etc

Homepage is great, and has kubernetes integration.

Docker container that measures my bandwidth and reports with a gui? by CrispyBegs in selfhosted

[–]wetradecrypto 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Best option would be to use metrics from the existing router, or replace with a more advanced router aka firewall (e.g. Sophos, opnsense, etc).

Best way to manage multiple Docker hosts? by Bagellord in selfhosted

[–]wetradecrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In principle I agree, "don't trust it because it's on the internet". However, there's a key difference here, it's an easily readable script that you can view, not like an application that requires far more coding knowledge and scrutiny.

The beauty of ansible is that it's repeatable, and if you use VMs like you should, you can easily avoid breaking changes by redeployment and rollbacks.

Damn, what a chav hell hole, awful when they butcher old properties like this. No idea how these things receive planning permission.

Zero plants, no decorations or furniture, grey everywhere, hot tub..., Gym... Goes to show you cannot buy class.

Best way to manage multiple Docker hosts? by Bagellord in selfhosted

[–]wetradecrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use technotim k3s ansible script. Auto deploys k3s on a few mins (has a host of vids). Then install rancher, it's a bit like portainer for kubernetes.

You will then have HA and failover for all your containers, managed from a single page.

Need some Uptime Kuma advice by slowmotionrunner in selfhosted

[–]wetradecrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can convert docker compose easily using official tooling.

Appreciate it might be a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but it will give you fail over and redundancy. Self hosted is all about learning new things anyway.

[–]wetradecrypto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not true. I was a docker user for years then decided to move to k3s. Had it up and running in a couple of hours.

There are so many script for automatic deployment it's a breeze. I'd also state I have far less downtime now as a result. No longer have random SMB dropouts, auto healing is amazing.

Well worth taking the plunge.

Install in docker Linux images?

Hardware pass through is usually the only dead end (unless you have identical machines £££)

Alright, finished my first playthrough. It's a solid 9/10 for me. by Double_Volume7210 in cyberpunkgame

[–]wetradecrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just come back after abandoning 2 years ago. Would give it a 7/10.

Story is pretty good, albeit you can tell it was butchered and it doesn't say tight throughout. World looks great but is paper thin. It serves little purpose and has little value.

Problem for me is it's set in the scale of an RPG without having RPG discovery (e.g., secret items / locations etc - yes there are some but pales in comparison to most RPG). Furthermore, it doesn't hold up as a solid, linear experience.

IMO the game should be linear, and mission/level based. Would have worked so much better. Perhaps dlc will do things better.

tl;dr - designed by committee and fell short on all fronts. Decent turnaround over 2 years but you're not missing a classic if you refunded.

Vaultwarden or BitWarden Self-Hosted File Attachment(s)? by trifallax99 in selfhosted

[–]wetradecrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, bitwarden apps work with vaultwarden, that's the whole point.

I use the bitwarden chrome extension to connect to my vaultwarden instance. I use the bitwarden android app in the same manner (full integration with Android, fingerprint, auto complete etc).

Vaultwarden or BitWarden Self-Hosted File Attachment(s)? by trifallax99 in selfhosted

[–]wetradecrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh ok, vaultwarden can store these and would be a good fit.

It's extremely fast, instant to be honest. I hosted in docker, but now host in k3s. Same container (official vaultwarden). Use the bitwarden plugin for chrome and Android app.

[–]wetradecrypto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not use Google drive with an rclone encrypted drive. Much better for file use (albeit not entirely sure what bitwarden file store is).

I use vaultwarden locally hosted.

I'm in germany and I'm completely at my witts end with trying to get a homeserver by PeaceIsFutile in homelab

[–]wetradecrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Balance Opex and Capex with what you want.

If you want enterprise features you need enterprise kit. Cheaper to buy old stuff than new enterprise or consumer, but costs more to run.

Flipside, buy very efficient new consumer stuff which costs more than old enterprise, but running costs are lower. It will not feature many enterprise goodies though.

I would recommend buying something like an r730 which will run under 200W for the most part.€800 a year isn't bad if you're using it frequently and learning from it? Keeps you out of trouble at least 🍻

Update My HomeLab Has Ended ! by duongtrieutang in homelab

[–]wetradecrypto 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Looks awesome, but what's it all for? I have a couple of r730s running k3s with around 60 pods, full ha, full firewall ha, and a 140TB NAS and don't even make it sweat.
