I used pihole for years, but the recent updates made me look for alternatives. There was a major (v6?) update fuckup, but also some random freezes and block lists going missing…
Looking for alternatives, I tried out Technitium. Extremely easy to set up, rock solid, running steady for about 6 months (with frequent updates), and they recently introduced built in high-availability.
But… why? I mean, who’s targeting Arch? Sounds like the Arch team has some info that they won’t release (for now), but this is so confusing to me…
I have a similar setup, with a public domain hosted by cloudflare. Internally, I use caddy with the DNS feature pointing to the cloudflare using their API and letsencrypt certs.
Something like this: https://webenclave.com/2024/11/07/setting-up-a-secure-local-network-with-caddy-cloudflare-dns-and-lets-encrypt/
I can also share more details, maybe my compose files and caddy setup if you need them.
That’s true. I still do, for my entire *arr stack, but you don’t need to, except for the torrent client.
I’m using Gluetun to connect to my VPN, and only *arr services and qbit use it. Here’s a good example: https://github.com/automation-avenue/arr-gluetun/blob/main/docker-compose.yml
Yeah, I still use the latest readarr builds with both ebooks and audiobook, and with rreading-glasses they still work. I am also in the chaptarr discord and got access to the alpha build, which looks really promising. Still rough around the edges, though.
On the phone app you go to Library -> People -> “Add a name” at the top.
i for one can’t be bothered to remember, for example, the syntax to add a new gitlab project to the allowed list of a hashicorp vault policy :) - i use zsh with fzf and ag, so i ctrl+r to find the last time i used this, adjust, execute.
there are many use cases for checking out your shell’s command history…
Client availability is valid. I use an android tv, that’s been easy for me. There are mobile clients for every phone and tablet.
I’ve never used Plex. What are some of the features that you’re missing in Jellyfin? Genuinely curious.
My “servers” are headless, in the basement, so even if I’m home, it’s still remote :D
It’s always good to read the docs, but I often skip them myself :)
They have this nifty tool called pve8to9 that you could run before upgrading, to check if everything is healthy.
I have a 3 node cluster, so I usually migrate my VMs to a different node and do my maintenance then, with minimal risks.
This was my starting up machine. Of course, an nvme makes sense, especially running windows on it. I went for Proxmox, and now I have 4 different machines, a cluster of 3 similar sffs, and a chunkier boi with an i7, 64gb ram and a quadro gpu. This one was the most expensive, around 250€.
Beware, this is how it starts. From a single machine in my office, I went to a mini Datacenter in my cellar, with 4 “servers” (micro-pcs), two Nas devices, a raspberry pi cluster, a dell wyse cluster, new switches and access points, and so much more :))
you can get away with half that. i run my setup (similar to what you wrote) on a dell micro sff with an i5 6500t and 16gb ram that i paid 90€ for. not the snappiest, but works just fine.
I see what you mean, interesting. Didn’t really look at NixOS as a server os. I personally prefer using multiple compose files (in the process of migrating to k8s). I share resources too, like in your example, I just point to the existing DB instance, not create a new one for each new service.
May I ask what you mean by NixOS support? There’s a docker compose you could use in their repo…
I believe R-- stands for Readarr and G–R-- stands for GoodReads.
You can use DNS01 for services not accessible from the outside. I use a caddy reverse proxy, with a wildcard cert for *.mydomain.com. caddy handles that for me automagically. Needed? Maybe not, but it’s a whole lot prettier, and I learned new things about certs and caddy :)
