Lemmings, what's your self hosted server power usage?
  • yah, my house is wired with copper and 10 gig copper uses a lot of power. It doesn't really help that the new slightly less power hungry 48 port 10 gig switches are thousands of dollars. I'm using 100 to 150ish watts per 10 gig switch to be able to buy the switch for under 500 bucks instead of using 60-100 watts and paying 2-5k per switch...

  • A question on hosting a Matrix server on a cheap VPS
  • Just came here to say this, it workson a 10 dollar a year racknerd vps for me no problem. Matrix chugs on my much bigger vps, although it is sharing that with a bunch of other things, overall it should have mich more resources.

  • I want to set up a selfhosted RSS reader but feel a bit lost
  • I use rss-bridge for the popular stuff but I've found rss-funnel to be nicer for creating my own scrapes (mostly taking rss feeds that link to the website instead of the article and adding a link to the article mentioned on the website (https://github.com/shouya/rss-funnel)

  • Script (for watchtower?) removing all but the last old docker image
  • Pretty much this. I don't even bother with watchtower anymore. I just run this script from cron pointed at the directory I keep my directories of active docker containers and their compose files:

    #/bin/sh for d in /home/USERNAME/stacks/*/ do (cd "$d" && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d --force-recreate) done; for e in /home/USERNAME/dockge/ do (cd "$e" && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d --force-recreate) done;

    docker image prune -a -f

  • Why docker
  • Because if you use relative bind mounts you can move a whole docker compose set of contaibera to a new host with docker compose stop then rsync it over then docker compose up -d.

    Portability and backup are dead simple.

  • Should I move to Docker?
  • you need to create a docker-compose.yml file. I tend to put everything in one dir per container so I just have to move the dir around somewhere else if I want to move that container to a different machine. Here's an example I use for picard with examples of nfs mounts and local bind mounts with relative paths to the directory the docker-compose.yml is in. you basically just put this in a directory, create the local bind mount dirs in that same directory and adjust YOURPASS and the mounts/nfs shares and it will keep working everywhere you move the directory as long as it has docker and an available package in the architecture of the system.

    `version: '3' services: picard: image: mikenye/picard:latest container_name: picard environment: KEEP_APP_RUNNING: 1 VNC_PASSWORD: YOURPASS GROUP_ID: 100 USER_ID: 1000 TZ: "UTC" ports: - "5810:5800" volumes: - ./picard:/config:rw - dlbooks:/downloads:rw - cleanedaudiobooks:/cleaned:rw restart: always volumes: dlbooks: driver_opts: type: "nfs" o: "addr=NFSSERVERIP,nolock,soft" device: ":NFSPATH"

    cleanedaudiobooks: driver_opts: type: "nfs" o: "addr=NFSSERVERIP,nolock,soft" device: ":OTHER NFSPATH" `

  • Should I move to Docker?
  • dockge is amazing for people that see the value in a gui but want it to stay the hell out of the way. https://github.com/louislam/dockge lets you use compose without trapping your stuff in stacks like portainer does. You decide you don't like dockge, you just go back to cli and do your docker compose up -d --force-recreate .

  • recommendations for 2.5 gig 48 port managed switch

    Anybody see a 48 port managed 2.5 Gig ethernet switch for reasonable pricing yet? it seems like these are still either thousands of dollars or sold for chinese market without appropriate certificatiosn to be plugged into the north american electric grid. Any help would be appreciated (even better if it has 2-4 SFP+ 10 gig ports on it)
