I've been on full maintenance mode for spring/summer, those are the times to be going placed and doing things. Autumn I'm going to write my winter goals for the server.
I have another n100 box that I'm going to dedicate to immich, I have 7 users now, so when they all upload on a night my current n100 has a little bit of a cry.
Security is always a big one. I'm currently relying on tailscale (limited to necessary lxcs), reverse proxies, Https, and app 'sign ins'. Not bad (it's bad) but not good either.
For new projects, I want to integrate Audiobookshelf with Hardcover. I've got a project installed but it didn't work on my first attempt so I gave it up for winter.
I'd like to set up a virtual DosBox, accessable by a browser, for my 1000s of dos games. Again I've found a few projects, none worked out of the box so have been given up for winter.
Other than that all my front end services are working well. *arrs are becoming a pain for all the malware named as good files confusing rad/sonarr. Qbit knows not to download .exes, and the like, but sonarr doesn't know to delete them and look again. Lazylibrarian accepts no shit though, if things aren't going as expected LL very quickly deletes and goes again. I might try vibecode a script for that.
I'd like to break out my storage into a dedicate box. Probably get some e-waste to fill with drives. Currently I have a n100 running network, storage and virtualization, it's a little cramped.
It's probably smarter to break out networking first, build a little router/firewall box (the above n100 mini would be perfect). But, I don't get along with networking, I find it challenging in an unsatisfying way. When I'm done banging my head against the wall and things work I'm just relieved I don't have to do it again, instead of feeling accomplished. New projects are fun, Storage I get the feeling of accomplishment from doing the thing. Networking is a dark art full of black boxes I don't understand that sometimes play nice together and mostly fuck my shit up.
I want to move over to IPv6, not for any other reason than it's probably a good idea to progress to the 2000s. If I can move everything over to Hostnames however, that'd be the dream.
Moving from Docker to Podman is probably smart.
Lots to do over winter... I'm probably gonna build a fish tank instead
Maybe something with the new Webtop images from LinuxServerIO? The new Desktop streaming protocol they have is seriously speedy, you can totally game on it!
Thanks, I'll check it out. Speedy could be interesting for games that used the CPU speed as a clock speed.
The LinuxServerIO peeps make fantastic images. When my server was docker only they pretty much built my homelab. I'm sure my docker hosts still have a bunch of their stuff, *arrs are probably all them.
And this is exactly why I run Cleanuparr alongside my *arrs. It integrates extension blocking, blocked/failed/stalled retries, and even has crowdsourced blocklists for malware. Between that and Huntarr (which automates background searches, because Sonarr/Radarr don’t continuously search for missing media,) and my *arr stack is running better than ever.
Cleanuparr/Huntarr just got upgraded to a late-summer project.
Edit: they've been running a couple days now. They're good.
Glad to hear you like them! I’ve been using Cleanuparr since before it had a GUI to configure things. And Huntarr is the only reason my library backlog has any chance of filling out; I have lots of old movies and shows that never really get new posts, so Sonarr/Radar would never have an opportunity to grab them from an rss feed. Fair warning, Huntarr may accelerate your plans for expanded storage, as your backlog begins to fill in.
