Its true all i have are cat pictures and grafana dashboards
Me after mailing tape backups to a vault in every country so my cat pics and ps2 iso's can survive ww3
Edit: perfect nerd bait this site is all nerds
That sub has useful information, but it has so many gearheads buying $500 routers and building $5k server racks that sound like jet engines for backing up their photos and watching a few hours of TV every day.
it was a good post, and we can't have that, so the subreddit's mods had to remove it smh
Fuck I'm tagged
I live this thread, I'm a gamedev and it makes me feel normal for once
You can pry my YAML from my cold dead hands
No please take yaml away, it sucks ass
I had an old Arch laptop as my server for the longest time, and just set up a fresh Debian server with the *arr stack, qbittorrent, airsonic-advanced, calibre-web, and jellyfin - almost everything from LinuxServer.io. I used Cloudflare tunnels for the web-facing services and have the torrents running through AirVPN via gluetun. Everything is in docker containers run in separate users.
I feel like I learned a shit-ton doing this so if anyone has a computer sitting around and wants to try dipping their toes into self-hosting, hit me up. I have a bit of free time and am willing to walk you through it and answer questions at any pain points. I should maybe make a post in piracy offering the same.
I really appreciate the repetition of the central thesis ("you are all a bunch of sick freaks"). That's solid writing.
I have a 42TB raidz2-0 array, 1TB NVMe boot disk running nixos... its excessive but super reliable! I just wish I had a server rack chassis to put it in.
How much power does such a setup pull
Like 52W (8.8W * 6) peak for the disks. I use a mix of drives so I could be off by a few watts. I would like to measure the total draw, I tried to pick energy efficient parts and settings, but I don't really know what the end result actually is. One perk of my parts selection is that the loudest part of the whole machine is the disk array! Idk if that translates at all to power draw, but its a nice quality of life thing.
God, I wish. I can't get my Optiplex to stay on so I can remote to it consistently. Even then, I struggle to get Docker working, even when I add my users to the docker group
I feel like something about our society means that there is a lot of anxiety about relatively minor choices in our lives which means we feel like we have to justify them, which results in nerds believing that their hobby is something important enough to spiral over
yeah honestly, all power to the home-self-hosters but I'm so burnt out I'm not dealing with any more of that shit unless I'm paid. Last thing I want to do after spending my whole week trying to unfuck the heap of infrastructure you end up with after 15 years of "move fast and break things" is pour over my own kernel logs so I can figure out why I can't watch TV today
After a few years I've ended up with Kodi and a bare minimum setup that keeps things as easy for me as possible. The biggest problem I have rn is that my usb HDD enclosures default to off after power loss.
Ain't nothing wrong with Kodi and some network share. It's what I started with and gave me the least frustration, Kodi is pretty solid at playing just about any old crap
Just using Jellyfin + 2 sata HDDs + an always on computer, for my selfhost
that's how we all begun i fear
Raid is for cowards. I have a singular 12tb used hard drive for everything. It literally can't break
No RAID! Only backups!
RAID fucks up often enough and adds enough complexity that I’m honestly considering this approach. Maybe I’m just going crazy.
WD external from 2008, its always made that noise thats just how things were made
Mines been telling me failure imminent spin retry count too high for years now and do i believe it? No! Get back to work!
I will never stop self hosting. I have converted some of my friends to self hosting their own stuff. We have automated encrypted offsite backups of eachothers critical/cherished data.
I will continue to spread this and no one can stop me.
You will learn docker (from compose files, including minimum shared networking), you will learn the *arr stack, you will use Audiobookshelf, you will learn about and deploy a reverse proxy, rclone usage is not optional, and I'll eventually turn you into a hobbyist programmer.
I just pray their children can stand on my shoulders and convert it all to kubernetes some day because I refuse to learn enough to make arguably employable as a Jr. devops engineer.
We have automated encrypted offsite backups of eachothers critical/cherished data
That is sooo cool.

And another one falls into the pit of the home lab.
Oh no. I had already fallen into it. I'm about to setup nixos on a raspberry pi to run jellyfin. Hopefully also moving over my pihole+unbound setup and decommissioning my Debian rasp.pi
I have a PC running OpenMediaVault (NAS) with about 8 terabytes of movies and TV shows, and a separate PC running Jellyfin and Plex accessing the video files through a samba share.
I'm sure r/selfhosted would give me all sorts of shit for not running those services in VMs on a single machine. Maybe when I can find a more powerful computer to do that on...
Oh no I just installed proxmox and some stuff on an old laptop last sunday. Is this my future?
Yes.
Welcome to the group.
picturing a couple having dinner
"check it out sweetie, i made a plex server for all our dvds! :)"
"YOU ARE SICK! you need help!"
Man goes to aquarium and is like “wtf are all these fish doing here?!”
This seems like pretty obvious satire. It's kinda like a love letter to the community commending them for their dedication and niche hobbiest interests without actually being sappy. Just a bunch of "you guys are so cool for X" without seeming like a suck up.
I don’t doubt it, I still think it’s a goofy post regardless
running Pi-hole with Unbound is superior to forwarding to Cloudflare.
NO FUCK YOU, IT IS.
Unix grognards running every service uncontainerized on one server keep winning.
docker-compose has made it too easy to take all the random shit I had running on my home server and make it reproducible-ish.
Me :3
I simply install my OS's packages and use the inbuilt privsep without needing to install like 20 different versions of Linux on my machine for every different service cuz no one can figure out dynamic linking (we should send ld.so to /dev/null imo)
"Yeah, I use containers. They're called user accounts 
Cgroups? You mean rlimits?"
Legit who has the free time for anything else? Admittedly, I hate IoT stuff, so I don't have to run my entire house from my phone/computer, but when I need something for personal projects it's the most minimal garbage setup imaginable. Been working so far so I don't touch it.
Haha one of the few times a super text meme is actually a worthwhile read. Self hosting really is a weird sort of drug spiral…
Yeah but I don't want Google to have all my cat photos 
They already have it anyway
As do I
What are you doing with my cat photos?!
Repossessing private property for the good of the country. Here you may have one of mine as compensation
I actually work with....
Yeah after dealing with my annoying corporate job I also don't want to deal with computers, but it's not a reason to complain that people have found durable elegant solutions to running their own services on their free time.
This just smacks of jealousy. Someone has to write the yaml, if it's not you it's gonna be the people you're paying $X/mo to also steal your data/call the cops on you after they find IP finger prints/etc.
