Smooth sailing for me too, shockingly. I've recently added my 26th service to Proxmox - LibreELEC (Kodi), with the very complex matter of monitor passthrough. It's such a versatile program and it has replaced my Chromecast with more features and side bonuses than I could've imagined. Another huge step towards degoogling.
Following the FUTO guide, but having problems with getting mailcow going... I'll hopefully figure it out by tomorrow.
Switching my main PC to nixos from fedora atomic sway. The sway config tripped me up last time, this time I'll succeed! (I hope)
I just bought aan IP KVM switch for a hundo, now heading to the store foir a case of frosty's and re-rack my servers to make room.
I dug out an old laptop and installed Yunohost on it. I was so excited until I discovered that my ISP uses CGNAT. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do next.
I am looking at using headscale or just paying the US$10/month for a static public IP from my ISP. If I go with headscale, then it appears that I wouldn't need Yunohost.
I'm a newb at this so there's a lot I don't know yet.
You can rent a cheap VServer as well and use its static IP to forward traffic. Easiest for it would be SSH reverse tunnel. Or you could VPN it with your homelab (connection established from within your homelab).
If you don't want to rely on an external service you could as well establish a VPN server within your homelab and use IPv6 to connect to it, although the disadvantage would be, that if you're trying to connect from IPv4 networks 'outside' that wouldn't work.
Just listing some options to research. Welcome to the hobby, have fun 🤗
My ISP uses CGNAT but I can ask for a dynamic IP address for free. I sent them an email and got a reply in less than a week. I can also pay extra like 2.50€ per month or something for a fixed IP. I found that quite reasonable.
One of my drives crippled itself a few days back, not sure what caused it. Wasn't able to be resolved without a host restart which was unfortunate. SMART isn't failing and has been working fine, so I'm chalking it down to a weird Proxmox bug or something.
For sure expected I was going to need to do a rollback on an entire drive after that restart though. Still may have to if it reoccurs.
Evening is going ok, but noticed the screen saver on jellyfin isn't showing up lately.. need to investigate...
Also, watched the latest "Explaining Computers" episode today.
docker-ce v29 update somehow messed up my homelab so badly that I had to downgrade to v28 to restore my system.
That was awful. Had to restore from backup.
Good to know 🫣
Changed my family dashboard from magic mirror to a home assistant dashboard. I'm missing some cute things, but the major functions work better, and I get some options that I didn't before.
Made some changes to my I2P router today, but otherwise all good.
Late to the party But I've been thinking about upgrading my proxmox and finally taking care of my backups in a more responsible manner. Just thinking about it, not actually doing anything yet :)
