This sounds amazing!

You have any good resources to recommend for learning ansible?

crony OP , 1 month ago

Fun fact: I actually run nixos on my main pc.

crony OP , 1 month ago

Luckilly no, just self interest.

crony OP , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

I tend to grow my fleet of servers every couple months, and that requires me to once again setup everything from the beginning, settings, sshd, update debian if old version, new user for ssh, docker/podman, ...

Quite literally added new vps to my fleet yesterday and spent 4 hourson setting all that up, when it could have been a simple ansible script.

Sed comes into play there, or :%s in vim, whichever you prefer ;)

I feel like matrix is an overkill for something like this personally, because I wan't to be motly only used for quick help with peple around the globe and matrix is more generally used to communicate with a huge amount of people around the globe.

Main reason also why I didn't go with matrix is because in my eyes it's still inmature and requires a good amount of maintenance, for what I think of as a simply a quick and dirty server to quickly help people in a more real time setting.

I don't mind people not liking the fact that it's a mattermost server and not wanting to sing up only for this community, it's their choice after all.

crony OP , 1 month ago

That's also where your argument from before comes in, as I don't use matrix. Never had an use for it, that's where the conflict for me comes in not wanting to create an account on a platform I don't personally use.

Mattermost I will have an use for personally and with friends, while matrix for me is unnedded and overkill for my needs, that's why I didn't go with matrix, neither on an already established server, or self host it.

crony OP , 1 month ago

I agree with you, they serve different needs.

crony OP , 1 month ago

It's discord like interface and I plan on only having selfhosted related content on it, mostly just for people to help one another in a more "well known" way of discord and real time chatting.

crony , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

Minimal, I have to force myself to check the servers for updates atleast once a week.

Main problem for me is I automated podman and docker updates with their respective autoupdate mechanisms and use ntfy for push notifications so I know if a service stops working and I had an update recently on it that it's an update issue.

Also have uptime monitor wih uptime kuma to monitor state of my services to catch them not working before I do, also ntfy for push notifications.

Also have grafana+prometheus seted up on my biggest server for monitoring and alerting with alertmanager+mail to get notifications on even more errors.

So in general I only have to worry about occasional once every few months error and updates of the host system (debian).

crony OP , 1 month ago

That's a fine but, as long as the server was hosted at my personal devices, which it isn't but on a hetzner dedicated box. Which is still better than on shared pc's.

Don't really need it, it's just nice to have.

crony OP , 1 month ago

That's why I said E2EE is nice to have, but not required.

crony OP , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

Update: Ended up setting up a mattermost server.

Main reason cause it's the easiest to setup as it only need 2 containers.

Edit: Might create a specific team just for selfhosters where people from this lemmy community can talk about posts there, or generally about selfhosting

Edit 2: I have created "Casual selfhosters" team on my mattermost instance, will create a post either later today or tommorow promoting it, but for now will leave an invite link here so feel free to join in and talk about selfhosting!

crony OP , 1 month ago

Yea, matrix is too much for that I need, an dhave seted up a mattermost server for my needs.

Planning to create a selfhosted team on it for the people of this communitty to talk real time about selfhosting and help each other fix issues in a more timelly and easier manner.

Podcasts, currently listening to lets go to court.

crony OP , 2 months ago

Is calibre able to tag the comics, rename and move everything into a structured file structure?

It also can't be inside a database since I have a kavita server running that I need the files to be accessible to.

crony , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

I agree with you, recently moved to hetzner one of my vps's, ended up costing me almost 2 euro cheaper than vultr + higher specs.

Also have another auction dedicated server with them, which is really amazing for the price it costs me (hosting my lemmy instance/sharkey/... in total about 20 diff services plus a minecraft the 1.12.2 pack server ) the server barelly sees around 20% cpu usage on my grafana dashboard.

So from the point of price/performance hetzner is amazing.

There was an eclipse? Didn't even know since there weren't any news of it being on my part of the world.

Guess it first need to be worlwide to create an apocalypse,

I'm not even on that side of the earth.

crony , 2 months ago

Earth is spherical yes, but we as humans divided it into side to be able to differentiate it easilly where we are relatively to one another.

So relatively, america is on the another side of earth compared to me, or 180 degrees far on the sphere

Yea this seems like the most easy solution for mumble specifically.

crony OP , 2 months ago

I am using it in a cron script, but the mumble server doesn't support automatic reload of the ssl certs, so I need to restart tge mumblr server to load the new certs. That's where my problem comes cause I run it inside docker.

I selfhost an instance of ntfy and changedetecttion.

Ntfy is for simple push notifications from absolutely anything, even just curl.

Changedetection is for detecting changes on websites, prices, is something in stock, ... It supports ntfy for push notifications so I just add the releases page from github to changedetection and then I get a push notification on my phone when anything gets an update.

crony , 2 months ago

For podcasts I recommend audiobookshelf. It has a very nice podcasts category with ability to backup the podcastst yourself, also syncs progress over multiple devices.

For rss I use miniflux.

crony , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

Yea, gotta send my maintainer some money.

crony , 2 months ago

I think that some people like me know who their maintainer is all too well.

crony , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

Sure as hell did, I took a 20 euro bill went to atm and put it to my bank account.

Got the donation completely safe.

crony , 2 months ago

My maintainer can't really ask anyone to donate, mostly cause he only has one user and thats him.

crony , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

Docker and podman in general work the same, commands are the same, ...

Only biggest difference is that now that I'm trying to migrate from docker to podman is figting over volume binds permissions for databases and such.

Finished migration of 3 containers, 50+ left.

I personally do a restic backup on my server (I have a dedicated hetzner server), and keep a backup on the server itself, and do a backup to a backblaze bucket for an offsite backup.

I also have a restic check job run every week, that reads 10% of the random data making sure everything is fine and working correctly.

For my local machine I do the same but additionally backup also to an usb drive for a 3-2-1 backup solution.

crony , 3 months ago

I would just use rsync on the whole folder.

Rsync is smart enough to be able to only send files you didnt' have previously like a regular mv command.

Or you can sync the whole directory and have it also delete removed files.

Edit: If you wan't something to automatically "sync/backup" the data, why don't you try and use syncthing? P2P syncing solution that might be exactly what you need in your hse case.

crony , 3 months ago

When it comes to media like my music library and comics for example I just use rsync to move new ones to the server every time I collect some new (I have about 60gb of it)

crony , 3 months ago

No, I only have new files on my local machine, and as I collect new stuff I move them to my server with rsync and just remove it onthe local machine.

Rsync is more than smart enough to, if you keep same folder structure to easilly move the files to the server without you having to manually copy other each file.

crony , 3 months ago

Don't really have some rn. Will make a page on my wiki and link it to you later with some basic examples.

crony , 3 months ago

Here is the link to the wiki page I created: rsync

The most important part for you is the last one, but I would recomend to read it whole to understand how rsync works a bit.
