I spent some time learning and configuring my firewall, then displayed it in form of SVG graph on Glance. I’m pretty happy about the result so I wanted to share it :)

Basically title. I’m in the process of setting up a proper backup for my configured containers on Unraid and I’m wondering how often I should run my backup script. Right now, I have a cron job set to run on Monday and Friday nights, is this too frequent? Whats your schedule and do you strictly backup your appdata (container configs), or is there other data you include in your backups?

We techies really are nerds living in our own little bubble. Every time I talk to friends outside of IT, they just laugh at the things we take for granted. In our world, it’s completely normal to assume that everyone has their own domain, self-hosts everything, avoids anything proprietary like it’s the plague, and probably has a dozen side projects running on some self-built server in their closet.

But then there’s my friend, a mechanic, who finds this absolutely hilarious. To him, it’s like expecting every car mechanic to not only have their own repair garage at home but also to manufacture their own tools and, while they’re at it, maybe even start their own car brand. It sounds ridiculous when you put it that way - but to us, that’s just how things should be!

Hi all!

This is my first post from my self-hosted Lemmy instance!

Thanks all you guys who gave me suggestions and help!

Hope you can see it, BTW :)

Hi there good folks!

I am going to be upgrading my server within the next couple of months and am trying to do some prior planning. My current setup is as follows:

• Case: Fractal Define R5
• Mothberboard: Gigabyte Z170X-Designare-CF
• CPU: i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
• Memory: 32 GiB DDR4
• Storage: 15TB spread across 4 HDDs (10x2x2x1) + 1HDD at 10TB for Parity.
• OS: Unraid 🧡

While this setup as served me well, I am completely hooked on these mini-racks(Rackmate T1) and am thinking of getting one eventually. Fortunately I’ll be getting my hands on my first mini-pc soon, an ASUS ExpertCenter PN52. This little badboy has the following specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HX
• Memory: 32 GiB DDR4
• Storage: Comes with one NVMe SSD 1TB

From my little cpu knowledege this one is superior in almost all ways, so it feels like an easy choice to swith out the old one. I need an enclosing for my 5 HDDs that connects to this minipc. This leads me to my questions:

1. What are your suggestions for enclosings?
2. Whats the best way to connect an enclosing like this to the mini-pc?

Any pinpointers, opinions and suggestions appriciated!

edit: im getting the mini-pc for free actually, so feel like its a no brainer to upgrade.

Pictures of the mini-pc for those interested:

Happy selfhosting in 2025 everyone ✨

Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi…

What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?

JetKVM is much like nanoKVM but a slightly polised version.

What is JetKVM?

JetKVM is a high-performance, open-source KVM over IP (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) solution designed for efficient remote management of computers, servers, and workstations. Whether you’re dealing with boot failures, installing a new operating system, adjusting BIOS settings, or simply taking control of a machine from afar, JetKVM provides the tools to get it done effectively.

As far as I know, these Jets are not available for retail yet, but can be bought via their kickstarter.

I've been having way too much fun adding custom emojis to my #GoToSocial #selfhosted instance.

And @cybertailor deserves a trophy for answering my question from earlier today, namely: how do you credit custom emoji creators?

The Pleroma custom repo has attributions for hundreds (maybe thousands) of custom emojis. Wow! On this page you can find the artist/creator behind so many of them (organized by topic):

Yo,

Wandering what the limit is when it comes to how many containers I can run. Currently I’m running around 15 containers. What happens if this is increased to say, 40? Also, can docker containers go “idle” when not being used - to save system resources?

I’m running a i7-6700k Intel cpu. Doesn’t seem to be struggling at all with my current setup at least, maybe only when transcoding for Jellyfin.

Why ll you use #gitlab
- pages/project/group/subgroup
- free runners
Why ll you pay #gitlab and hosting server
- speed
- faster ci/cd
- more contributors

#Sourcehut builds re already for paid accounts only
Idk about #github but can't hope for any better
Ain't it most rational to just invest in #selfhosted

Hi there, been working on my selfhosted setup a bit lately and just noticed that if I browse to my own WAN-IP it will show to the public the interfance of my oc200 omada hardware controller. While it does have a login form with username password, id be much more confident if this wasnt public at all. I’ve looked online and in my settings but struggle to find anything related to this. Is it common that this is on be default?

Any pointers greatly appriciated.

Edit: Solved - I panicked without thinking I was on my own lan when checking this…

(SOLVED) Is it normal that browsing to my own WAN-IP shows my Omada controller interface?
