Well, got the new machine onto the network. It's a refurbed HP SFF machine with an i7-8700. I threw 64 gigs of RAM into it, along with a raided set of SDDs for Proxmox with an nvme drive for VMs. I have another SSD I wanna drop in there for some extra storage but I need to get another 3.5->2.5 conversion kit. I also may grab a low-profile nvidia card for passthrough purposes just in case I ever need it. I feel I've overbuilt for my current use case, but my other hobbies are cheap so gently caress it. I migrated my VM that has all my docker containers over to the new machine and upped its resources, and I think I'm going to clone my PiHole VM to have a backup DNS on the network. I also picked up a refurbed APC UPS that I need to get configured. The next windmill I may tilt at is setting up some publicly accessible services for friends and extended family. I'm thinking stuff like a Foundry-VTT server, a hosted game server if those are still things, etc. I'm guessing the way to do that in a manner that doesn't expose my home network is either Tailscale invites with really specific IP/port access (did this with my wife for Plex) or a vlan that hosts the public-facing stuff? The latter is a very different ball of wax for me, so I'm not sure it's a path I want to travel just yet.

CopperHound posted:That is a funny term for cramming a drive wherever it fits with double sided tape. The thought definitely crossed my mind. I've had a weird desire to not take shortcuts on these builds, which is wildly out of character for me. What's annoying is the bays in the HP are built with those rubber spacers in mind to make it easier to swap drives in and out, but also makes the conversion trays I got not work since they didn't come with those types of screws. In a three-quarter-assed move, I'll probably just slot in the conversion kit and drive. At least it'll be somewhat secure and it's not like I'm moving the machine around.

Question for you all about DNS/reverse proxy solutions. I currently have a k3s cluster of raspberry pis running Home Assistant, among other things. I'm managing the cluster via a portainer container on my Synology NAS. At the moment my HA container is doing host networking to open a port on the host it's scheduled to but I'd like to find a good dns solution so I don't need to know the host it is scheduled to. I can set up an ingress into my cluster but need to resolve it to a static external ip like a locally hosted load balancer. I'd like to avoid port forwarding all my port 80/443 traffic through a reverse proxy. Mostly worried about internet speed degredation. I was wondering if I could set up a local DNS server as my primary DNS server on my router to do split-brain DNS. I could run the local DNS server on my NAS and have it resolve an external load balancer or reverse proxy that my cluster ingress can point to. Not entirely sure what options to use for the local DNS server. I know the synology has some type of DNS server functionalitu or I can run something like pihole in a container. Also, since port 80 and 443 are already bound on my NAS, I think I would have to set up macVLAN for any reverse proxy running on the NAS? That should let an nginx proxy container listen externally to http/https traffic without conflicting with bound ports on the NAS? Always avoided complex networking so not sure if I'm muddling anything here. I'd definitely appreciate input.

What do you mean by internet speed degredation? Personally I run Adguard home in a container for local DNS and this will let you add your domains to point to a local address using filters and give you a nice GUI (and adblocking). I imagine pihole offers the same too. Externally everything else hits CloudFlare proxy then my reverse proxy for stuff like Overseerr and bitwarden.

BedBuglet posted:I don't want to see my throughput negatively affected by running things through a proxy. You won't. HomeAssistant is never going to push enough data that it overwhelms something like Traefik. I have HomeAssistant running on Docker with a Traefik reverse proxy in front to handle the SSL and it's solid. Kubernetes is functionally no different aside from having distributed networking and control plane. As cumbersome as the setup may seem, the Traefik process itself is very lightweight and the type of routing it does is no more resource-intensive than iptables masquerading, which Kubernetes is already doing under the hood to power the cluster networking. If you really don't want something sitting in front of HA, you might look into MetalLB which can assign an external IP to a service and use gratuitous ARP to advertise it to the rest of the network. If the service isn't running on the speaker node, it just routes to the correct host through the native K8s cluster networking.

I followed this guide to setup AdGuard + Unbound and my queries average 2-3 ms.

What is the goto for media streaming to the TV? I've been using UMS on my PC for years to stream to my webOS TV, but I'm starting to think I could probably just move my media onto my NAS and stream via my server. Usually don't need to transcode anyway.

I've been using UMS on my PC for years to stream to my webOS TV, but I'm starting to think I could probably just move my media onto my NAS and stream via my server. Usually don't need to transcode anyway. Plex and Jellyfin are the two biggest self-hosted streaming platforms at the moment. Plex is commercial software, but is still free and very easy to get started with. The mobile apps cost money, but there is a paid tier that also unlocks them. It has better app support across pretty much every mobile and smart TV platform. Plex has a cloud service to enable remote streaming from your server, but it's also capable of running completely isolated, too, so best of both worlds really. Jellyfin is open source, but is lagging a bit on app support because of that. It's not a bad option, but my experience is that Plex is closer to "just works" in just about every respect.

Radarr/Sonarr is great for "tracking" upcoming show and movie releases that you're looking forward to, but yeah, their main purpose is automatically grabbing TV shows/movies from usenet. You can even have it automatically upgrade your files as newer versions get added by the scene. Hell, we have access to most streaming services through account sharing, and I still tend to add most movies/tv shows to Radarr/Sonarr for Trakt watch list syncing. Having a unified system for *arr services would be great as more versions are developed - ones for audiobooks, books, comics, etc. I like using Prowlarr for most of my syncing, currently.

I just do a live backup using dupliciti every evening. One locally to my NAS and one in an S3 storage provider(Backblaze in my case). I've used the backup several times and it's worked great.

I probably should schedule the containers to stop but I just point Duplicati at /containers (where all my docker volumes are) and it just tars it all up and dumps it on Google drive. I've never tested to see if I can point a container at the volume and have it work but I'm more concerned with getting my config files off for the app if anything. In any case I have versioning and keep multiple backups so one of em will work. Actually, I have tested before. I had a container that I somehow lost its configuration or something and I restored the volume from duplicati and it worked fine

Probably not ideal for that but it's not corrupted on me yet on a restore.
