Selfhosted

still learning truenas. i think I've figured out nextcloud which is basically a nightmare whenever I've had to install it

Trying to get headrest working in docker. But backups end up filling my host drives docker volume with cached chunks.

Tried setting and volume mounting the cache dir but it still fills up.

Duplicacy worked though so might just stick with that. Just gotta try restoring files now.

We finally got our music server set up after a lot of finagling with wireguard. It's really cool; we have slsk-dl set up to batch download our playlists from Soulseek, which we can then play in Jellyfin. Next I'm gonna set up Nextcloud for backing up photos, projects, the whole shebang.

Set up an instance of Supabase for an application I'm building that needs a REST backend. So far, so good, using it's Auth functions for OTP login and they work well.

I've been slowly, but steadily, migrating the services I run on my TrueNAS CORE (FreeBSD) from Jails to Debian VMs so I can migrate to TrueNAS 25 (no more SCALE it seems, and Linux) around April without many hurdles, hopefully.

Besides having to learn some systemd, it has been a smooth ride.

Now I'm down to the last 2 services, which I think are the most complicated setups I have and with no nice deb packages to ease installation: Paperless-ngx and Photoprism.

I'll probably look into playing with Containers (LXC/Incus) to have the same lightweight and efficiency as Jails once the migration to Linux is done. But honestly, if everything is running nicely, I won't be very motivated to do so, let's see.

I have yet again broke a Nextcloud server By trying to upgrade it (from 27 to 30) . Even after hours of debug i’ll have to remake it from scratch ….again

I've been looking into airtable alternatives. Came across teable, which I liked, but it doesn't seem production ready. 🤔

Finished setting up an email server and am now looking into a matrix nextcloud bridge. Doesn't seem to exist, so I guess I'm writing one.

I'm trying to figure out why truenas scale refuses to auto start virtual machines... Other than that everything's smooth atm :>

I finally set up Joplin server. It is a revelation after too long using Syncthing to sync databases. I wasn't able to use Joplin on Android anymore- the sync to file system had gotten too slow. Now everything syncs pretty much instantly!

Anyone know how to set up NPM on truenas scale? I've spent all day trying to get my SSL certs and it fails every damn time. Just says the donation is unknown or that it can't find my npm install 😮‍💨

I'm using a freedns domain tho so maybe I'm gonna need to try buying a domain.

Had Jellyseer break on me again on Truenas scale, something about a jellyfin API blah blah blah. Decided that Sonarr and Radarr are fine enough to interface with that I don't need it and deleted the image.

So I recently sandboxed a webapp I am getting ready to launch.

Basically Unifi switch > Vlan port > Server > Hosting Webapp instances, worker instance, cloudflared and DBs.

Pretty chuffed at the docker config actually. Just configuring my WAF and tunnel settings with Cloudflare to reduce the scanning from VPS providers. Anyone have a solution or will I need to configure some sort of nginx instance to do it as Cloudflare only allows a certain length for each WAF rule for free.

Side thought, does anyone know of a tutorial for CICD to auto build my containers and deploy? I've been reading github and codeberg docs and playing around to no avail. I'm temped to just write a go script to handle it on my server.

Adding a second vdev today to my primary pool running on Scale. New vdev will be 12TB by 4 wide, with existing at 10TB by 5 wide. Drives are all 7,200 RPM enterprise grade, CRM drives.

May also add a second pool with the drives from my previous build which would be 10TB by 4 wide. These drives are 5,400 RPM so I would not use them in my primary pool.

Also, Noctua sent me a bracket (at no charge) so I can correct the orientation of the CPU fan to be facing front to back (currently left to right). I also have a couple 80mm fans and a 120mm fan to add to the server case. Once all of that is in place I hope to start running Ldarr against my libraries without CPU temps hitting 95°C.

I just setup a local llm with open webui and lm studio using qwen 2.5 coder 7b as the model, gonna test it this week.

Set up pi-hole on my network and I’m realizing it clashes with my VPN on my desktop and private relay on my Apple devices lol. Progress everywhere else though?

This year has been my first foray into self hosting in general. I have been doing a lot of learning and have a long way to go but have got to the point where I have proxmox running with a few VMs running an arr stack, a jellyfin server and a Plex server.

I'm just super happy to get everything running and now need to fine tune stuff. Currently trying to figure out why the Plex server is down half the time externally.

I'm having a lot of fun!
