I was excited for IPv6 in the 90s.

yes

First set up your certificate in the SSL tab of NPM. You can either upload a traditional certificate or set up LetsEncrypt. Be aware that starting next spring the maximum length of a certificate will drop to 9 months and continue to decrease over the next few years until its 47 days.

I have mine set up so LetsEncrypt gets a wildcard cert for my domain (via DNS challenge). Some people go with per subdomain certs.

Once you have the cert, go you each of your hosts and switch to its SSL tab. Then select your cert. Then I usually turn on “Force SSL”

I use Nginx Proxy Manager running as a docker container. Its a gui that makes administration more straight forward. It points at all my services (docker and otherwise) and handles the SSL for me. Because I don’t want to have any ports open I use DNS challenge ACME and NPM has built in support for a number APIs from large public DNS providers to automate that.

For those unfamiliar, Dawarich is a self hosted location tracker / timeline

Thank you for that. Its surprising how long that takes to answer when I see some release announcements. Especially over on Mastodon.

I use Proxmox because its handy to be able to use both LXC containers and full VMs. I installed it as an ISO so its built on top of Debian. There are helper scripts specific to installing Home Assistant on a VM (as well as a number of other things). And the proxmox UI comes in handy.

I have Home Assistant in a VM so I can run it on top of HAOS. Then the rest of the box is set up as an unprivileged LXC where I installed docker. I run all my *ARR apps straight on my Synology (via docker) so they have fast access to my Library volume, and everything else running on the setup I just described. Then I use Portainer to maintain my containers so I can manage both the syno and proxmox docker installs from one page.

Not true at all. If you want to run Home Assistant on top of Home Assistant OS then it needs to be on bare metal or a full VM because its an OS. Running on HAOS is easy mode, but not required.

Its only been a few weeks, but I should give it a good blowout regardless.

Good call. That’s plan b now.

Thanks!

I spent half a dozen hours this weekend trying to get Proxmox running on a 2nd hand laptop, but I can’t get it to run without sounding like a jet engine. The machine did fine when I ran Mint and used it as a laptop - but even after blacklisting the dGPU and forcing all the CPU cores to powersaving, I’m still making heat like crazy.

Plan B is to put Mint back on it and install podman and see if fan noise is a problem then. But I’d rather have podman running in an unprivileged LXC.

Everything backs up to a Synology diskstation (with disk redundancy). The Syno’s Hyperbackup makes backups of critical stuff stuff to the cloud weekly. In the case of my self-hosted stuff, it’s mostly the share storage where all my docker volumes map to. Also workstation backsups, home assistant backups, phone photos, etc.

A back up of the temporally replaceable stuff (everything not covered above) which is hosted from the Diskstation, is made to an external drive a few times a year and stored off-site the rest of the time. This isn’t 3-2-1, but its close enough for my needs.

Not that I’m aware of, but it would be nice.

I have a locally hosted invidious instance but increasingly I’m finding most of the creators I watch are on Nebula. I just recently discovered that Rifftrax has a presence there.

Certainly! Let me ignore half the details in your prompt and suggest a course of action for v2 of this package even though you said it was version 15.

I’m sorry that isn’t working for you. Here are the troubleshooting steps for a Samsung convection oven that went out of production in 2018.

You are correct, your question did not involve baking tips, here’s that same course of action from v2 of this software package.

Clearly that’s what blu-tack is for.

I’m taking note of that that combo feather teaser / ball track / butterfly toy. I think my big orange boy would lose his mind over that.

I can sort of see the appeal, but its not for me. If anything is ever going to rename files for me its going to be a script that I’ve either written or at least read top to bottom. Not a blackbox inference engine, and especially not one based on an LLM.

If I had 25 surprise desktops I imagine I’d discover a long dormant need for a Beowulf cluster.
