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.

Did the switch from Docker to Podman a couple of months ago. Now I host all my services (arr-stack, Forgejo, Nextcloud, Authelia, Traefik, Immich... to name a few) on my VPS and mini pc/home server with Podman.

I recently sat up headscale to connect my VPS running the Traefik Proxy to my home lab to make some of my services running on there accessible from the internet. It was quite the journey, to say the least, as networking is not my forte either.

But feel free to drop me a pm if you need some inspiration or support, maybe I can help.

Thank you for the offer. I still need a bit more more time to experiment and zero in on the issue again. Fortunately my setup is quite simple and the only bottleneck will be Caddy.

I basically run Caddy which redirects to a static generated blog, simple file server page and a Kiwix instance. I'm mostly making a self hosted reference site of materials for Linux and Scripting resources.

One day I may add a Forgeo instance but currently my entire workflow exists around rsync. I'm happy just having my single file scripts hosted as text files and don't really need the power of git. At least not at the moment.
