It’s been a while! Let us know what you’re currently working on, what exploded, what cool stuff you found, or just brag that everything is running fine unattended.
I haven’t been doing a lot, renovate auto upgrades for patches and sometimes minor updates work great so far. I got involved in my union to spin up a mastodon server soon, so there’s a new project, but I already run mastodon so it shouldn’t be much of a deal, I just need to get comfortable with the infrastructure. I also set up ntfy but only sent some test notifications and didn’t configure any app yet - planned for Element Chat.
[Meta] I’m not sure how to apply the new tags. In the recent versions of this thread, people sometimes posted about their ollama setup or the like, but I’m not mentioning AI in the post body (except this meta thingy) and it shouldn’t be much of the discussion, but it’s an open post. Maybe curbstickle can chime in to let me know if I should apply one of them.
I just set up an orange pi as an off-site restic backup!
I use restic for backups in my homelab onsite to my NAS. I’ve been doing this for about a year but I don’t have off-site backups. I’ve set up the orange pi with just a small HDD and set up wireguard on it so I can still access the pi when it is outside my network.
Then I added a
restic copycommand to copy my repo from my NAS to the remote, and it’s working!Now I’ll leave it in my house for about a month or two to test that it’s still working, then take it to a family member’s house!
