If you have a NUT server configured then you can depending on UPS vendor. My APC can and that’s how I pull it into HA.

A lot of UPSs will have power metering as well if you’re not already on one.

My rack server uses 150W idle. Granted that’s 2 processors and 48 cores, 256GB ram, and 8 case fans that you can’t cycle less than 35% even though they don’t need to be anywhere near that high.

Yeah, email is one of the more annoying things to self host. Google rejects mine because my ISP has all their non static IPs on block lists (even though my IP hasn’t changed once since I’ve been with them it’s still not “static”, can’t change the reverse DNS) and I’m not paying 150% more a month for a business account to get a static IP. I ended up just using a free email relay. Still had to setup SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and all that jazz still.

Uptime Kuma for outages, Prometheus for metrics, rsyslog to Loki backend for logs. Grafana for ingesting Prometheus and Loki data.

Maybe one day I’ll get time to test Proxmox alternatives but I have a lot of playbooks I’d need to migrate if I went with something else.

Could always use LXCs they’re lighter weight than a VM but they’re IMHO more complicated to get started with than Docker / Podman as there isn’t as big an ecosystem, unless you run a hypervisor that supports them. If you run a hypervisor then Proxmox and I think OpenStack are they only two I know that support them natively.

Yeah that’s going to depend a lot on the images you’re running. If it’s a published one the likely it’ll have a compose or at least a one liner to get it running. But yeah there can always be issues with hard coded IDs and if you want to give the host folders 777 or limit them. Are you running selinux and that’s going to get in the way. Did they not mention capabilities that needed to be added?

And if you’re building your own or extending that a whole other ball of wax.

And I typically run on k8s so that adds a whole other layer of complexity. But I’ve been using it for years and I’m actually more comfortable with it than just docker or podman.

Yeah, this is self hosting after all. If you don’t expect some challenges to work though then you’re not gonna not have a good time.

Even if properly setup it could still go to spam until you get your reputation score up which with low volumes will take ages.

I don’t think seer, sonarr, or radarr support that but in theory could. You’d also need your sources to have a good way to supply those details in a good way as well. I wish they had a good way to filter for languages now as I hate dubbed anything.

I have it on DVD but I heard it was reposted on Usenet recently.

I should really make a dd image of my card for the Pi I use for all my switch serial connections.

My WAN connection would just randomly start losing packets and would not recover, not full disconnect just lots of retries. Didn’t impact LAN just WAN. Unplugged the cable or disabling then re-enabling the interface would fix it for a coupe of days to a week then it would come back.

Time consuming to diagnose as switching cables, ports, etc would require waiting days to see if it fixed it.

Eventually had the ISP come out and swap the fiber media converter and fiber integrity. But again it came back.

After several weeks I stumbled on a FreeBDS bug that was exactly my issue…I was running OpnSense and my gateway had I225s. Applied the scripts and it worked.

Yeah there’s no return for a true. Depending on your language your compiler may complain.

And yeah I tend to kill the joke.

I got a year old one with 64gb for 1k last month.

fun=false

if (!false) return false

I don’t think that does what you think.

If this is for internal only you can setup OpnSense to do DNS records either through static IPs or add hostnames to the DNS records via DHCP. If you want this externally that’s a whole other ball of wax.

Neither require you to purchase a domain name. Just use whatever you want .internal While you can use other things like .lan, .internal is the only one that is actually reserved for LAN use.

*I’m pretty sure you can add firewall rules in OpnSense as well to redirect from port 80 or 443 to whatever port you’re actually using but that may cause more problems than it’s worth. If you can’t change the port in the app itself then, honestly just bookmark it with the actual port so you don’t have to remember it.
