What’s up, what’s down and what are you not sure about?

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 finally finished my first iteration of my Minilab including a very smooth migration from the old server yesterday so I can go to the service side of things again. I plan to get some kind of selfhosters VPN for external access to stuff that’s not exposed to the internet, I’ll have to investigate which one.

    Having electric stability issues this week in Bangkok - several 2-3 hour outages, which are too long for a UPS to cover the gap. I have several mid range but older PCs running docker, virtualbox, etc for various things including a postfix server for the family email, immich, QBittorrent, pihole, paperless, huly, postiz, a Minecraft bedrock server, a flightradar24 ads-b collector, and a variety of other homegrown projects.

    Thinking about getting some or most of this over to a service like hetzner, perhaps even splurging on a baremetal dedicated system.

    Recently I’ve been reading about/trying to learn qemu and proxmox, but don’t understand them yet. Is that where it’s at for managing a bunch of your own VMs? Or kubernetes/k8s?

    I’ve been a little out of the loop for a few years and of course coming back up to speed IT wise judge take weeks. Looking for recommendations on offloading my home stuff to a cloud that I control.

      If I may, I find LUXVPS to be quite capable and responsive hosts.

      Black Luxury Deal #1

         4 vCores (Xeon Gold 6150)
    26 GB DDR4 RAM
    150 GB Raid 1 NVMe
    1 Gbit internet speed | 40 TB Traffic
    1x IPv4
    1x /64 IPv6
    3.2Tbit Premium DDoS Protection
    24/7 Ticket Support
    4 Backups
    For ONLY 10€/Mo (recurring)

      I’ve never used Hetzner, and I don’t know what you are hosting, but I’m sold on LuxVPS. I also use Contabo, and Ethernet Services. The latter would indeed be bare-bare-metal as there are no frills. However, for a test server and for $35 a year, it works.
