It's been a while, let's go! Any major fuckups lately or smooth sailing?

I had to change the local DNS setup yesterday. I finally installed my wife Linux Mint and wanted to set her up for Vaultwarden real quick which became an hour long debug session since apparently CNAME entries for hostnames don't work as I thought. Never came up the recent year as all my machines took it, but resolved refused to and so I eventually deleted the entries in the Pihole and created them as A records pointing to the VM with the reverse proxy, hoping I won't need to change the IP anytime soon. It's always DNS!

In other news I think I moved all my local dockered services to forgejo+komodo now and applying updates by merging renovate MRs still feels super smooth. I just updated my calibre web automated with a single click. Only exception is home assistant where I have yet to find a good split in what to throw in a docker volume and what to check in git and bindmount.

It's been fairly smooth lately, knock on wood!

My Valheim server that is set up for friends and family had some issues, but nothing in the logs so I assume it was a weird network issue that solved itself.

I also battled some problems with the Jellyfin temp/transcode folder ballooning in size, causing the whole server to crash as I hadn't dedicated enough space to the container. Considered making a script to clear the folder at even intervals, but it would cock up streaming if the missus was watching while the purge happened.
Ended up just giving it 100 GB and let the daily clear be enough.
It ended up being the missus' tablet suddenly requesting transcode of everything but H264, so I'm quietly hinting that she is due an upgrade anyways...

Next project planned: Caddy (I've been saying that for 6 months.....)

Isnt there a schedules task to clean the transcode dir?
If I remember correctly that it exists, might be worth to increase the frequency insted

[–] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

You are right, there is a checkbox, but no way to adjust the interval AFAIK.
It seems to be a daily occurrence, which is fine when I just adjusted the container size.

I'm going to be more weary of buying devices without H265/AV1 in the future, which is what I grab mostly. That should remove the need for transcoding completely anyways.

Have you tried clicking on the task?

Just checked my server and I could adjust the frequency as I please

[–] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I obviously need to have another look when I get home!
The issue started on 10.10, but I haven't looked into it after upgrading.

Thanks for taking the time, Freund!

Seems to be missing in 10.11.3, so I might just be a few patches behind.
I'll read the patch notes and see if it's been added recently.

Just posting as it's good to know for others searching, I guess.

Dunno where you are looking at. But you need to look in the scheduled tasks (left menu almost the last option.
There are several maintenance tasks of which one is the one you might be looking for.
