I have a small client on the side that I am looking to get more durable off-site backups done. I personally use restic and resticprofile in my homelab without issue. The issue is that I would like to give them some kind of GUI and from what I see, none of the restic ones will do it....

I recently stated out loud that my homelab was stable, and now my UPS is posting less than 30 minutes of estimated normal load. What's everyone using as a UPS?...

Hi!...

So I was recently gifted some Mellanox 40gig network cards that I installed in my NAS and my desktop and connected with AOC fiber. I gave them both static IP addresses on their own dedicated subnet that's not used anywhere else in my network. I was able to run iperf3 between both computers, and that worked exactly as expected....

I'm just going to be vulnerable for a minute here. I met the first person in real life who had similar server-y linux-y obsessions to me and we'd send eBay links of systems to drool over to eachother. They ended up being a terrible person but hid it from me pretty well until they couldn't anymore and now I no longer have someone...

For those of you who know of PiAlert or similar projects/forks like NetAlertX, do you know of any that can run without WAN access?...

I've been overhauling my homelab for the past 3 months. Initially the goal was to move my servers into a proper rack and out of the garage. This turned into a whole lot more than that, essentially replacing almost all my servers and equipment with updated hardware....

Two friends and I would like to build a PC as a server in my house. The idea would be to have a headless server with 3 VMs. I was wondering what would be the best thing to do so that everyone could have their own private space, while optimizing disk space as much as possible (1TB M.2 SSD + 8TB HDD via RAID1)....

For the last 6 months or so I've been working on Pinepods. I have never been able to find the perfect self-hosted podcast app that I wanted to use. podgrab's player is rather lackluster and misses a lot of features that I would like....

I previously (and sort of still do) ran my homelab on a Raspberry Pi 4B with 4GB of RAM. That lab still exists but I recently picked up an Orange Pi 5B with 8GB of RAM and have been building out my services from scratch....

Basically, I'm building a home and getting it wired with Ethernet cabling. I didn't want to get too much into the technical details, so I just provided the builders with locations where I want RJ45 ports, along with one spot where I just said "24-port patch panel" (the number of ports located elsewhere being 22....
