Rob McBryde :redhat:I just posted Part 4 of my homelab journey! This update describes how I pivoted my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LenovoThinkStation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LenovoThinkStation</a> to a daily driver running <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Pop_OS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pop_OS</a> plus some more hardware modifications. I also list the essential apps to keep my workflows flowing. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://robmcbryde.com/headless-server-to-daily-driver" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://robmcbryde.com/headless-server-to-daily-driver</a>

Pete KeenProject "Talos Most of the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a> Things" has taken another step closer to fruition. The new NAS head machine arrived yesterday so I put in an HBA and a 10Gbit card and installed <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TrueNAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrueNAS</a>. This morning I swapped the ZFS array from its old home (nibbler) to the new NAS head (morbo), imported the pools and set up NFSv4 exports. After mounting those shares on nibbler my <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a> LXC booted right up.The next step is to convert Jellyfin into a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Kubernetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kubernetes</a> workload with an NFS-backed PVC. After I've got that working for everything but transcodes I'll be able to pave nibbler with Talos and get transcodes back, then work on the rest of the media stack.Future steps are to pave hypnotoad and lrrr with Talos, put TrueNAS on the backup machine (crushinator) and maybe put control plane nodes into TrueNAS VMs.

MichaelI think if we could manage to bottle the post-"Oh god, I think I just nuked my storage cluster" feeling of elation when it works again, we might have a really potent new drug on our hands.<a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a>

Antonio J. DelgadoCositas en mi homelab: - HomeAssitant (automatización del hogar) - Jellyfin (media player) - Nextcloud (fotos, calendario, contactos, RSS, documentos, Kanban, ...) - Searxng (buscador agregador de otros) - LibreTranslate (traductor LLM local) - Forgejo (gestor de repositorios) - Motion (detector de movimiento para cámaras IP) - Prosody y Synapse (XMPP para video llamadas, chat, etc.) - Y más cositas para gestionar lo anterior (Gatus, Nagios, Grafana, Prometheus, Graphite, Puppet, ...) <a href="https://eu.mastodon.green/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a>

MichaelThis represents today's Homelab hijinx all too well:<a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a> <a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/Ceph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ceph</a>

MichaelThe cluster is back now. No data loss occurred. Everything surprisingly kept running or came back very fast.Also, I now know how to do manual surgery on a Ceph monmap.On the positive side: My MONs are now all located on the right host.And if I wasn't such an impatient git sometimes, this could have certainly been accomplished without shaving off 5 years from my life expectancy.Now excuse me while I return right back to my fainting couch.2/2<a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a> <a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/Ceph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ceph</a>

MichaelOkay people. Listen to me: When Ceph Rook says it's not safe do switch off the MON you want removed, at least check the Ceph quorum. Make sure that that MON is not the last survivor. Only then do whatever you think is necessary to get the MON deleted.Because otherwise, you will end up with a Ceph cluster without a quorum, and you will experience things like "not being able to get any output from ceph -s".1/x<a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a> <a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/Ceph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ceph</a>

stfn :raspberrypi: :python:New blog post!In which I talk in detail how I deployed Nextcloud locally in my homelab using LXD and NextcloudPi.I go through the whole process of setting up LXD, importing the NCP image, installing, configuring, and scheduling backups for my own personal cloud.<a href="https://stfn.pl/blog/67-deploying-nextcloud-locally-with-lxd/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://stfn.pl/blog/67-deploying-nextcloud-locally-with-lxd/</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blog</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/lxd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lxd</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nextcloud</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/virtualization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#virtualization</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Degoogle</a>

TechnoTimI rebuilt my home server from the ground up: CPU, GPU, RAM, fans, SSDs, and power supply… even some "accessory lighting". This thing is now quieter, faster, and built to handle just about anything I throw at it in 2025 and hopefully beyond.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOaLlOAIWUU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOaLlOAIWUU</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homeserver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeserver</a>

Merlin (UpCloud cust. 125497)Okay dumb idea. Since colocation in Germany is expensive and I live moderately close to the Netherlands. Is the situation any better over there? <a href="https://toot.kif.rocks/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a>

Yehor 🇺🇦Realized I’m not really interested in <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> anymore. I’m tired of maintaining it and trying to make a new “perfect” dashboard once in several months just to realize I can do better with other set of custom cards and scripts… Looks like it’s not my hobby anymore. I want something rock solid like <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/SynologyNAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SynologyNAS</a>, for example. I’m happy with <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/PhilipsHue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhilipsHue</a> lights because it doesn’t require to carefully read release notes of every update. It just works. I’m planning to try <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AppleHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AppleHome</a> and <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HomeBridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeBridge</a>.Thanks <a href="https://mastodon.social/@pax0707" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pax0707</a>!<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/smarthome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smarthome</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/hobby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hobby</a>

BB :verified_cool:How do y'all deal with <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> machines that occasionally fail to boot? I have no SSH (it didn't boot). I have no remote management (it is an Intel NUC...).So I have to grab a monitor to debug, but it lives on the opposite end of my house from any monitor, and its a pain...

MichaelAlright, enough time on the fainting couch, time for a new attempt. This time first increasing the number of MONs and then waiting for the cluster to settle before going down again.<a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a>

MichaelWooooooh. Ceph is a good piece of software. And so is Rook. Because if they just bluntly did what I just told them to do, i would be so royally screwed. I would probably be questioning my choice of hobbies right now.Pro tip: The wrong way to migrate MONs is to just change the node selector to remove two of the old MONs and add the two new ones. That is the absolute wrong way of doing it.Now excuse me while I get acquainted with my fainting couch.<a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a> <a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/Ceph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ceph</a>

Yehor 🇺🇦I finally have a separate guest WiFi network with a QR code on a fridge. And a separate IoT network. Even made the printer work across VLANs. And <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> to stream locally. Because the app is on the <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Samsung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Samsung</a> TV, and I don’t trust it, so it is also on the IoT network. The only thing left to be fixed is <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AirPlay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AirPlay</a> on the TV. <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/network" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#network</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/vlan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vlan</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#networking</a>

Julien RiouSkype will shut down soon. I wanted an open source alternative so I tried Galene (<a href="https://galene.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://galene.org/</a>) multiple times to call my dad and it works very well.For now, I spawn a disposable instance on OVHcloud using OpenTofu and the OpenStack provider. Then I configure the software using Ansible. The code is available here <a href="https://git.riou.xyz/jriou/galene-cloud" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://git.riou.xyz/jriou/galene-cloud</a>.Tomorrow, I would like to only host a TURN server on my VPS and self-host galene on my homelab.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/galene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#galene</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/opentofu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opentofu</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/openstack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openstack</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ansible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ansible</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ovhcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ovhcloud</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a>

MikaI know that "ReBAR" is a setting that you should almost always turn on when it comes to gaming PCs to make full use of your GPUs - I'm wondering if this is something you should enable for your <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/homelab" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> servers too with discrete GPUs?

GNU/Matt :fedora: :kde:The hype I am seeing for "refurbished" or "renewed" hard drives for NAS usage seems like false economy to me. These drives need to be a heaps cheaper than they are to be the bargain that youtubers and tech blogs are saying they are. Some of these drives have in excess of 10,000 power on hours. It's been spinning for over a year and you're paying 80% of the original price?!No thanks<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/secondhanddrives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#secondhanddrives</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ewaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ewaste</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/falseeconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#falseeconomy</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#server</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/refurbished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#refurbished</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/refurb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#refurb</a>

MichaelSuccess. It turns out that when you actually install all of the dependencies of your CNI plugin, control plane nodes on a Raspberry Pi 4 come up without any issue at all. 🤦 What was missing was installing "linux-modules-extra-raspi", which is something specifically shouted out by Cilium's docs. I initially wasn't sure what the problem was, because my Pi 4 worker nodes worked just fine. But they netboot and need the package for Ceph support. But my CP nodes have local storage.<a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a>
