Like 1 hour every two months or so, I just run an ansible playbook and check everything is working ok

Yes I use it a lot to read manga and some books. Works perfectly. On Android you can connect with CDisplayEX.

Great summary. How does work the provision with terraform? Do you have some guide? Is possible to provision LXC/VM on proxmox with ansible instead?

Syncthing, Gitea, jellyfin (with arr stack), audiobookshelf, Kavita.

Great starting point! I think option 1 will be better for this scenario. But later if you can, a cheap desktop build will be better for proxmox since you will have more room to expand and play with more things, add more storage even GPU for jellyfin.

Have fun!

Clean, looks great! I'm curious is this more lightweight than xfce mint (my prefered choice to bring back some life to old notebooks)? If it is why? I understand alpine is best choice to build light container images but I don't know how it behave as desktop

Could you share wp?

After 200hrs in my SEK2 run, I don't think there is a way to return to vanilla. I'm even thinking of doing another run after finishing this one.

At first I thought the progression takes too long and the logistics were complicate but after some planning and structure is really fun to solve the puzzles and see how everything works after putting the effort.

Has anyone played in multiplayer? I think it would be fun to plan production projects in group haha but none of my friends like factorio.

I perform a backup once a week from my main desktop to a HDD, then once a month I copy important data/files from all nodes (proxmox, rpi's and main desktop) to 2 "cold" unplugged HDD that's the only time I connect them. I do all of that using rsync with backup.sh and coldbackup.sh

I use syncthing for notes across mobile/desktop/notebook, for that and other important files the backup goes to Google Drive or MEGA (besides the offline backup).

I want to try S3 Glacier since is cheaper for cloud backup... has anyone tried?

Sure you can check https://trash-guides.info/

and here is my setup, I'm using podman containers for everything

Can we get a factorio server?

I'm using my RPi4 4gb to run a home media server, jellyfin and *arr stack all containerized and automated. Also syncthing for obsidian. Works perfectly

Wait for it to go up gain 🥲. But now I'm curious how people use 4G as second option maybe I will try juat for fun.

+1 for obsidian and syncthing, I like to avoid the use of many applications. So everything related to writing text/notes for personal use I do centralize in obsidian. You can even make some drawings or handwriting with excalidraw, hady for diagrams.

Nice rice! How does it feels void linux?

Goddady. It's cheap they have my local currency.

What a good timing, I was looking for a YT music replacement.

Navidrome seems like a good choice but is exactly what you're are saying "classic media player with a webUI". I like the convenience of YT music recommendations and all the music available even the music I don't usually listen to. I would need a much bigger music library or a way to facilitate the music discovery and automate the downloads.

I know there's is Lidarr to automatically download music but I read some people saying music naming scheme is a mess. So anybody has successfully replaced Spotify or YT music with Navidrome or similar? How is your setup?

How did you structure your library? Did you use lidarr?

could you share some tutorials? i'm thinking to rebuild to setup better storage for VMs and backups

Maybe it's hard at the beginning but as you keep doing it becomes easier. If you feel overwhelmed take a break for a few days and try again later. I think we all have been there and hit a wall. Self host, open source and Linux communities are friendly you can ask for help and find someone willing to help you, so don't be afraid to ask for help (as I was before). Just take small steps.

Don't give up. Have fun.

Those that are hosting their own mail server, did you stop using regular mail (gmail, outlook etc). Is possible to migrate to self hosted mail? I don't think I can't stop using gmail and other google services that's stopping me from trying to do this.
