If you're into SCP/FTP/Rsync/SMB check out Hetzner Storage Servers. About 3 € for 1 TB, including 10 snapshots

Using Pi's to run services in my homelab which I want to keep separate from my server (to have some sort of failover in case the server goes down). Status/Monitoring, VPN server and so on

Take care and watch out for yourself:)

Interesting... I used to use Jellyfin about a year ago until it suddenly stopped working. Now with new equipment and infrastructure I gave it another shot. I think I have to stick with Emby for now... Thanks for your view!

I tried Jellyfin for a few days now and have to say I was absolutely displeased by the stability of the clients (except browser) and sloweness.

Figured the bottleneck was somewhere else so decided to just try Emby with a 1-m pass. Emby works absolutely beautifully. No issues AT ALL regarding speed, transcoding, clients, or anything. I click the video a second later it’s up. Even through a VPN. Jellyfin frustrated me sometimes locally via LAN.

However I still want to give Jellyfin a shot. Have you experienced similar?

  • both installed in docker on the same host with recommended but where applicable same config.

Looks smooth, I am running Homer (different to Homerr or others). Super easy to configure in yml and looks clean. No fancy features as weather however… or maybe haven’t found it ^^

I do think I’ll give Homarr another try after looking at yours

Interesting project! I’ll spin it up in the next couple of days and check it out

The domain x.com, which Musk bought ages ago, also redirects to twitter

 

So I'm in the process of (re-) setting up my homelab and unsure about how to handle databases. Many images require a database, which the docker-compose usually provides inside the stack.

Now my question, shall I have 1 database container which is accessed by all containers? Or shall I have a separate container for each service?

For critical services, which shall have as few dependencies as possible I'm already using sqlite or a similar solution.

Also on a sidenote: I have two docker hosts, can I let the containers of 1 hypervisors use the same internal docker network?

TIA!

Unfortunately not at the moment, as all is kinda fiddled and setup manually, but I’m redoing my home lab in a couple of weeks. Send me a message and I’ll send you the docker image or script!

But basically I did the following:

  • enable ipv4 forwarding
  • configure and start VPN tunnel
  • set the default route to the tunnel
  • set the gw for reaching the remote vpn server to the local gw
  • sets routes for the local network to the local gw

If your vpn goes down, the default route shall still point to the remote gw, but as it isn’t there you also have a kill switch. Voila!

I am looking into gluetun but haven’t tried it yet.

Edit: this doesn’t protect you from someone snooping the traffic inside your local net, but protects it starting from the point where it leaves the local vpngw. The traffic is unencrypted between that and your client.

 

So everyone is talking about cloudflare tunnels and I decided to give it a shot.

However, I find the learning curve quite hard and would really appreciate a short introduction into how they work and how do I set them up…

In my current infrastructure I am running a reverse proxy with SSL and Authentik, but nothing is exposed outside. I access my network via a VPN but would like to try out and consider CF. Might be easier for the family.

How does authentication work? Is it really a secure way to expose internal services?

Thanks!

 

Did you ever wanna have a username but it was taken? Us early adopters to the fediverse can now freely choose nice, untaken usernames!

Let that sink in. We have the luxury and freedom to nearly choose any username we want. without having to add unnecessary underscores or numbers.

Thats nice.
