Your favourite piece of selfhosting - Part 1 - Operating System in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] theorangeninja@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can you please elaborate on this? I am currently using MicroOS and think about NixOS because of quick setup. But also about Proxmox and NixOS on top. Where would libvirt fit in in this scenario?

This sounds very interesting! I came from DietPi to MicroOS and am now thinking about NixOS, also because of the portability aspect.

I skipped Ansible for now but maybe I have to try that out together with NixOS.

Are you using a VM manager of some sort? I saw libvirtd mentioned in this thread a couple of times.

I tried MicroOS for a while now and I don't know if it was my fault but I did not work so smoothly all the time. Maybe because the machine was turned off for a few days in a row. But a couple of times I just couldn't ssh into the machine or it would not start up at all. Luckily ,ou can roll back and I used that to copy my docker volumes and compose files over. I think about trying NixOS next.

I also started with DietPi an every device, works like a charm. But I personally want to try something else to learn a bit more.

Edit:

I think about trying NixOS in the near future.

Your favourite piece of selfhosting - Part 1 - Operating System (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hello everyone,

I am about to renovate my selfhosting setup (software wise). And then thought about how I could help my favourite lemmy community become more active. Since I am still learning many things and am far away from being a sysadmin I don't (just) want tell my point of view but thought about a series of posts:

Your favourite piece of selfhosting

I thought about asking everyone of you for your favourite piece of software for a specific use case. But we have to start at the bottom:

Operating systems and/or type 1 hypervisors

You don't have to be an expert or a professional. You don't even have to be using it. Tell us about your thoughts about one piece of software. Why would you want to try it out? Did you try it out already? What worked great? What didn't? Where are you stuck right now? What are your next steps? Why do you think it is the best tool for this job? Is it aimed at beginners or veterans?

I am eager to hear about your thoughts and stories in the comments!

And please also give me feedback to this idea in general.

Can you point me to a tutorial how to setup that up properly for websites? I tried it a while ago and could not get it to work...

introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] theorangeninja@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I played around with copyparty and I have to say it is just awesome! The config is just fun to mess around with and everything feels snappy.

But I ran into an issue with FTP (probably just something I configured incorrectly) and could not find a discussion for that. I should probably start an issue on Github but as a non-developer I'm not sure how to do that in the correct way.

Edit: I managed to "solve" the problem. Apparently the user uploading to a subfolder over FTP needs the move permission for the folder above said subfolder.

Slowly I am getting confused with all these technologies. What is quadlets if I may ask?

Do you have a recommendation on how to start migrating from docker compose to podman pod or podman kube? And do you know about a web ui for podman (similar to dockge or komodo)?

Has anyone tested yunohost? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] theorangeninja@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 months ago

+1 for dockge. But that's something for later. Yunohost is a great way to get a feeling for selfhosting.

[Help] Trouble shutting down a linux machine (sopuli.xyz)
 

I am having issues with my linux machine running openSUSE MicroOS. It runs fine but I can't power it off via SSH. I tried shutdown, poweroff and halt but no command turned the machine off. I then have to physically push the power button but I don't feel comfortable doing that too often because I might interrupt some processes which are still running? Is there something I could still try or something I did wrong?

What is your favourite way to transfer files in your homelab? (sopuli.xyz)

Hello selfhosted! Sometimes I have to transfer big files or a large amounts of small files in my homelab. I used rsync but specifying the IP address and the folders and everything is bit fiddly. I thought about writing a bash script but before I do that I wanted to ask you about your favourite way to achieve this. Maybe I am missing out on an awesome tool I wasn't even thinking about.

Edit: I settled for SFTP in my GUI filemanager for now. When I have some spare time I will try to look into the other options too. Thank you for the helpful information.

Trouble with Bluetooth headphones and Fedora 41 KDE (sopuli.xyz)
 

I don't know if this is the correct community to ask this but I have a problem with my Jabra Elite 4 Active Bluetooth headphones. I can't connect them with my Fedora 41 KDE laptop. Is this a KDE issue? Or a general Linux issue? Every other Bluetooth device I tried so far worked without a problem (speaker, mouse, keyboard, etc.)

Looking for a Bookmark Manager (sopuli.xyz)
 

I'm looking for a bookmark manager with offline capabilities. I want to host it at home and don't want to expose any ports so I should cache the links when it can't reach the server and also keep newly added links in cache and upload them when the server is reachable again (i.e., I am at home).

Is anyone aware if Linkwarden, Hoarder, Linkding (or something else) has this feature?
