I threw a thinkcenter in my laundry room and did the bare minimum to securely SSH into it (fail2ban, nonstandard port, root login disabled, can't login with password, etc), to be used as a testing platform for building my workplace a new website.
Just gotta relearn HTML/CSS and figure out what platform to use.
Also set up traefik/Authelia/maybe Anubis for the new domain and block any access outside of my home or workplace.
Finally finished setting up and testing a Peertube instance. The video stuff and object storage related things certainly make it more involved than other fediverse software, but overall it is working quite nicely. Just need to find some workable solution to using GPU acceleration in containers, but I think I mostly figured it out (might work after a server restart, but my sweet, sweet uptime makes me procrastinate on that 😅 ).
How much storage do you think you'll need with caching external content? Does Peertube even do that?
I've been trying to convince a VPS to run two instances of mariadb - one for local databases, one to replicate the homelab. Got mariadb@server and mariadb@replica sorted out through systemd, but now stuck on replication from mysql to mariadb. Looks like I'll be ripping out mariadb and putting everything on mysql.
Interesting using systemd for that, I'd probably have chosen containers for that.
What's the reason for replication vs. dumps? Does the client failover to the replica?
