  • How to propperly Ansible and selfhost without burning out?

    Jump

  • I would echo that, I've been a generalist computer whatnot for over 10 years. I have had to learn to network, virtual network with VMware. Manage Linux servers, then virtual servers. Switch from VMware to aws and understand basic terraform, with ansible learning as well.

    Where I work we are on ansible repo 3 I think, as we have matured in how we use it and what works and what doesn't.

    When homelabing, you get to be all the things a big company would have job roles for.

  • Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos

    Jump

  • Some issues are like that, you fix the issue presented and find more issues to fix.

    I do it for a day job and have had issues that I can't explain as anything more than restart a service and now it works, I also run my own kit and have had the same type of issue.

  • you need to use deb822 as the repo module, like this

     
        
- name: Setup deb822 formatted repositorie
  ansible.builtin.deb822_repository:
    name: php
    types: deb
    uris: https://download.docker.com/linux/debian
    components: stable
    suites: "{{ ansible_distribution_release }}"
    signed_by: https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg
    state: present
    enabled: true
  when: (ansible_distribution == 'Debian' and ansible_distribution_major_version >= '13')

  • I do, but need my laptop. The bit you need to fix is adding a new deb repo, will try and post tomorrow now

  • Why does a community called no stupid questions allow comments that say the question is stupid?

    Jump

  • thats not cricket, you cant replay to a No Stupid Questions with thats stupid.

    Flag it with the mods!

  • Bad experience on selfhosting nextcloud

    Jump

  • Your issue could be a missing index, check the admin settings page and see if it has any advice.

    I also found that my files_cache table was missing an index from way back, I had to empty the table and create the index. But the speed boost was insane, it went from painfully slow to almost instant.

  • Self hosted Onedrive alternative

    Jump

  • I run nextcloud, but I do use other apps. Like contacts and calendar, the news app and even the whiteboard.

    But I run it like the work servers I manage, I still don't understand how so many find running nextcloud so difficult.

  • Should I get a ZBT-2?

    Jump

  • I was thinking the same thing, I have a ConBee2 and it works fine, but an update to zigbee3 may be what I want it for.

    In your case, some mains powered devices would solve your issue. zigbee is a meshing network, so a mains powered device between where your ZBT-1 and the new devices should help

  • Bracing for impact

    Jump

  • You could have a look at OVH and see if they have an image, whats your budget?

  • Self hosted DNS

    Jump

  • if your after alternative to CLoudflare DNS, I can recommend OVH for both domain name and zone, they have API so you can get certs for both internet facing stuff and internal domains

  • Cloudflare is down this morning

    Jump

  • I dont use cloudflare at all, so I didnt notice. I do see a lot of recommendation's to host behind Cloudflare, so if they have a problem you do too

  • I made a project that can install/configure/orchestrate 115+ applications on your homelab using Ansible!

    Jump

  • For large server estates it makes things a breeze to manage, that and semaphore.

    Is a budget 3-2-1 home-server backup (one NAS + one cloud + weekly clones) actually enough, or am I kidding myself?

    Jump

  • I can say that is more than some companies do, yes you need 2 copies of import data in 2 locations. And test the backups work at least monthly.

    Where I work we do the same sort of thing, incremental database backups hourly and then shipped to off site s3. A full database backup everyday day and shipped to off site s3, test restores every month to check it works - a full plus incremental.

    This gets gets us past all the audits for ISO and cyber essentials and the NHS thing.

    Stop cramming everything onto one Pi: treat your home lab like a tiny ISP - hardware, stack, backups and an update plan

    Jump

  • Just a reminder that you can host on a group of pis and still have all that good stuff, it won't be as fast as x86 stuff. But spread the load and things can be quick.

    Yes you do need backups of import data, but you don't need to have data backups and images backups. If you can rebuild the host the data was on thats fine.
