It’s Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I’ll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn’t want to forget the post again.

    OpenWRT on a new router. The wifi works better, ethernet works up to 980Mbit/s and I don’t have all my traffic routed trough a Huawei device.

    And it allows you to configure everything.

    Slowly building up my self hosted test env in a VM on my gaming PC.

    Most recently playing with homepage so I don’t have to remember as many sub domains.

    Eventually I will get the *arr stack going so my jellyseerr instance is more automated.

    Helle there ! It’s still Saturday here :p !

    I recently setup weechat (IRC) and learned about bouncers. From what I understand it’s similar to a proxy but with backlogging IRC conversation. I’m still new to it and have a lot a new things to learn.

    I’m thinking to self-host my personal bouncer on some cheap VPS.

    Other than that was busy with encoding with av1an and encode my bluray library to AV1 codec :).

    I also recently self-hosted metube (yt-dlp web frontend) to download some music from RiMusic. Still need to work on a shortcut with HTTPS shortcut on Android !

    I have recently setup my paperless-ngx instance and have uploaded all my scanned documents. Now I have to tag all that stuff which seems like a lot of work. So I’m looking into paperless-ai… 🧞

    A couple of days ago, after testing it myself for a few months to make sure I understood how everything works, I made the switch to NextCloud Calendar, and will no longer use Google Calendar.

    This is the best part though… I somehow convinced my wife to do the same. She let me install the NextCloud app(optional for Calendar stuff but makes the setup easier) and DAVx5 on her phone (both from F-Droid, so DAVx5 was free). I exported and imported her calendar, and made sure the notifications were set up to her preferred default.

    It’s multiple days later, and she hasn’t complained!

    I’ve also moved all of my contacts over to NextCloud, but have yet to coerce my spouse to do the same.

      Which calendar client did you use?

      I thought the switch to nextcloud calendar was going to be simple, but davx is … Not a clean-cut app.

      • Did you find a way to sync from device to NC?
      • Were you able to merge Google’s dumb export of 3 calendars?

        In a web browser I use the NextCloud one. It’s functionally very similar to Google and I like it a lot.

        For our Android phones, my wife uses the Google Calendar app, and I like Business Calendar Pro.

        Both apps you just have to go into the settings once DAVx5 has done the initial sync and uncheck all of the Google calendars so they aren’t shown, and check the boxes next to the new Calendars.

        Exporting and Importing I could only really easily do via the web browser for both.

          Sorry to pester you, but I’m confused: my google calendar app does not allow removing the original google calendar. How were you able to do so?

          And both of your installs can sync from device to NC? I have not been able to get around this… Only one-way sync from NC to davx to 3rd party android calendar.

            The Google account is still there, I’ve just hidden each of those calendars. New events seem to default to whichever calendar you used last (citation needed) so once you’ve created an event under the NextCloud account, it should default to that. The app I use (Business Calendar Pro) doesn’t even give the option if a particular calendar is disabled.

            As far as DAVx5, the default is to only sync every 4 hours. Phone to NC is instant (once DAVx sees the change), but NC to Phone has a delay. However!..

            I just set up the ntfy app to create instant two way sync both ways. It’s pretty slick. Dig around in the DAVx5 documentation about how that works. You install the DAV Push app on the NC server, ntfy on your phone, enable UnifiedPush in the DAVx settings, do a little dance, and then NC notifies DAVx every time there’s a change.

            Edit: you can also delete calendars from Google Calendar settings on the web, but this is obviously permanent. I think you can also totally remove Calendar from your account.

            Edit2: You can’t remove calendar from your account, only delete individual calendars.

      This sounds good, the partner acceptance factor is always one of the biggest struggles. Technology is easy :D

    I lost all my inpsiration after my last install. I’ve literally just got immich and a raid array. I want to add a few things:

    • Public facing website
    • Jellyfin
    • VPN server
    • Individuous
    • XMPP

    I. Build a PC for video editing because it was becoming impossible to do on the laptop. I realized that I can use the GPU also to run large language models myself.

    So this week I’ve been setting up ollama and Open WebUI to be able to move some of my queries I ask ChatGPT and ask them on my computer, even if I’m away.

    This way I don’t need to send sensitive data to the USA and China. It works quite well but I only can use smaller models up to 14B because of the 12 GB VRAM my graphics card only has.

    I’m currently half way thru building a ZFS array using (5) 8tb Ironwolf Pro drives. I’m modelling and 3d printing a custom drive cage with brackets to hold them all inside the shitty Dell tower case I have dedicated to it. Hoping I can get it done sometime Sunday, I’m on V2 of the drive cage print and it takes like 8 hours to do lol.

    I’m starting to see mastodon users on my tiny pixelfed server. It’s such a good feeling.

    On the sad side, my Lemmy update went south and I had to remove it off my setup. Still looking for a good replacement for max two users. Something dirt simple like GoToSocial turned out to be.

      I had a similar problem with Lemmy, UT’s not optimized for small instances.

      I went with PieFed und am very happy with it.

        I tried getting it setup but it didn’t want to work on my system. The docker container didn’t work with some errors and the docs seem like they need a bit of work. I love piefed, but if it takes more than a weekend to setup then I personally don’t have enough time.

        Great software though.

          I got it to work then moved it to another server and couldn’t. So I get that.

          If I can figure out how I setup lemmy would you want to know?

    I changed my proxmox server from zfs raid pool to software raid with mdadm. Saved me a ton of ram and cheap ssd’s don’t really like zfs, so it’s a win win. And while messing around with drive setups I also changed the system around a bit. Previously it had only single ssd with LVM and 7x4TB drives with zfs but as I don’t really need that much storage it’s now running 3x1TB SSD + 4x4TB HDD, both with software raid5 so 2TB of fast(ish, they’re still sata drives) storage and 12TB (or 10,6 in the real wold, TB vs TiB) of spinning rust storage.

    Well enough for my needs and I finally have enough fast storage for my immich server to maintain all the photos and videos over 20+ years. Took “a while” to copy ~5TB over 1gig lan to other system and back, but it’s now done and the copying didn’t need babysitting in the first place, so not too big of a deal. Biggest unexpected issue was that my 3,5" hdd hotswap cradles didn’t have option to mount 2,5" drives so I had to shut down the server and open the case to mount the drives.

    And while doing that my piHole was down, so the whole network didn’t have DNS server around. I’d need to either set up another pihole server or just set up some scripts to the router to change DNS offerings to dhcp clients while pihole is down and shorten the lease time to few minutes.

    Managed to set up immich remote machine learning (old 7th gen Optiplex to gaming PC). If only I bought an nvidia card… I wasn’t able to get it my AMD 7800 XT to work with immich ML… Next up is setting up microservices because immich is crippling my unraid server 🤦🏼😭

    My 8GB soquartz CM4 has a broken memory chip and I can’t return it, so I am contemplating whether I should throw it in the oven and hope for the best or whether somebody wants to buy a half broken one unbaked …
