What's happening on your servers? Any interesting news things you tried?

I didn't do anyone other than updating Mastodon (native deployment) lately due to a lack of time. Reading so much about Immich caused me to consider trying it in parallel to Nextcloud but I'm not sure if I want to have everything twice.

Not quite homelab, but I'm about to install Linux Mint on my mom's laptop and that had me thinking about creating an off-site backup in her place again since she has a fiber connection. I'm still not sure about the potential design though, but currently my only backup is in the same rack as the live stuff.

Not much with the server, as I'm finally finishing my switch to Mint on my main PC, now that I've finished the things I was stuck with Windows for.

I'm debating whether to put Calibre Web on my PC or media server, as the PC is easier to access, but the server is always on.

I'm also trying to figure out the best way to host a family Minecraft server. I've currently got two running at home and one remotely, but have managed to get a decent free tier Oracle server running too.

One of the Minecraft servers is staying local, as it's just for the immediate family for our gaming sessions, but the other is for the kid's cousins to join in too. Typically though, they haven't wanted to play since I got the servers running, so I can't tell which is best for them 🙈

If you want to use Calibre Web, should be accessing the server as easy as having it running on the desktop? Also has the benefit of downloading books directly to the e-reader without needing your desktop.

Also check Calibre Web Automated! It's a fork with lots of additional features.

Another +1 for CWA. I tried several solutions and it was the right one for me.
