What's not working? I just set up TrueNAS for the first time, went with 25.04 and figured I could just update my way out of potential bugs, but the updater is broken :D
Well, firstly I had this weird issue where the pools were giving me errors because some folder was missing, I fixed that but 24.10 has literally 0 compatibility with apps from 24.04 and it looks like I'm going to have to reset the whole pool in order to use their new apps ecosystem (because trying to install anything from 24.10 just errors out)... Which is extremely annoying as I have quite a lot of apps setup
I plan on setting up the *arr suite and getting rid of Netflix, Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime and Disney+
Just set up Lemmy! I wonder if this gets through
I'm reading it so I'd say it works!
Hell yeah, you just sent the first notification to my instance :)
That's actually so cool and the more I think about it the more it's making me really want to host my own Lemmy instance. Can I ask what sort of hardware resources you're running it on?
Sure! It's a Lenovo m910q tiny. Mine has an i7-6700 and 32GB RAM but Lemmy runs in a VM with 4 cores and 8 GB RAM which should be plenty, it's not even using half that RAM. Disk Space seems to be the limiting factor after a while since it keeps copies of all remote threads and comments but that can be cleaned up too.
Found some threads online on resource usage beforehand like this: https://lemmy.ml/post/440678
ITT: lots of busted pihole v6 updates
Finally got started with Grafana, Prometheus and Meshtastic.
I wonder why so many people had issues with the v6 pihole update.
I pulled the new docker container and it ran overtop the previous version just fine. The only issue I had was I had the admin password set to empty via an env variable and that variable name changed. Took like 10 min to find and fix. The rest migrated perfectly.
Now I'm just waiting on orbital-sync to add v6 support, but that's just around the corner and not that critical.
I had a pair of v5 with unbound setup, and ran the pihole -up and it went down lol. Dunno what happened, but i reinstalled and it’s all good.
I only run the basic block list, so I am thinking more and more to setup docker on my main server and move my pihole, pyvpn and grafana there and free up my raspi.
Hmm, I wonder if the failed updates are only direct installs vs docker.
I run two piholes, a primary on a rpi 3b running pios, and a secondary on my main server. Both are installed via docker and both updated without issue (besides the password thing).
I like having the primary DNS on a separate machine; it's kind of important and I like to mess with the main server a lot...
I also like to mess around so more and more docker seems like at least an ok idea if not a good idea.
I definitely recommend it, particularly using docker compose. It's made it incredibly easy to add, remove, and modify software installs; keeping everything independent and isolated from each other.
This also makes backups and rolling back updates to individual projects much easier when you do run into problems.
I appreciate the motivation. Thanks!
I'm currently looking to connect an NVMe SSD to a Pi 4 I have in a differences location to finally have proper 3-2-1 backups. I'm trying to find a NVMe to USB adapter that will work though.
Currently doing a full backup of 37TB to tape. Which I would normally do once per quarter but I got a smart error on one of my drive that I'll have to replace but before shutting down and removing the drive I want to have a full backup I might even get warranty on the drive at least I got the last time this happened drive has lower then 200 days of runtime. We'll see
What hardware are you using to read/write tape, and what does that cost you?
I've got around 30tb that I need to shift off of a Drobo at some point so I can repurpose the drives into a proper RAID setup that isn't a closed source black-box from a dead company (that was a poor choice, 6 years ago 🙁). Keeping an eye out for solutions for when I get around to fixing that mess.
That's why I initially got them to reorganize my raid setup and have them as backups in case I need them. So I'm using lto4 which is 800gb per tape (current standard is lto9 16TB per tape) And it really depends on how cheap you can get the drive for me I got a tape drive for like 200€ and bought bunch of tapes ~50 for 6€ per tape if you can get a LTO5 drive for a similar price you would only need half the amount of tapes. So all in for me it was 500€ but you can definitely buy less tapes if you don't need that many all at once. For your 30tb that would be 228€ in tapes.
It was great fun researching the topic and comparing different eBay listings for hours 😅
Interesting; I'll definitely have to keep that in mind. Much cheaper than getting basically a whole new set of hdds at almost $30/tb (new nas-grade drives, not referbs).
Thanks!
I just got cactus comments working on my writefreely blog. Cactus comments needs matrix, so I got matrix with element set up. It was an incredibly frustrating journey of learning, but it turns out the final bit wasn't too complicated. I'm running on TruNas, which I hear you shouldn't do, but it's too late haha.
I also got the whatsapp bridge set up, but it doesn't look like matrix supports disappearing messages, so I left some rooms it created b/c one of the larger groups easily took up a gig of storage before disappearing messages was turned on.
Anyway, writefreely has federated cactus comments that you can currently only sign in with a matrix account lol. I can try and change that later. I host the photos with picsur.
I think that I need to collect my notes and memories and put it into a blog post, but I don't really want to turn my blog (if I even keep up with it) into a blog about how to self host a blog.
In hindsight, I don't think the comments were worth it, but whatever.
Immich. Wanted to exclusively use the external libraries features in read only.
Set it up once in its own Proxmox LXC under Docker. Set it up all properly started scanning my entire library. And when I woke up again it had crashed and I couldn't recover it.
Started over the following morning and only gave it access to 2024 instead of everything. And it filled up to 30gb/40gb I gave it with thumbnails and files and such. Guess it crashed the other day because it took up too much room.
Guess I'll start over again, and ensure all the config files and thumbnails are stored on my NAS so they can take up the space they need to without overloading the main (small SSD) on my server.
I upgraded immich without breaking everything. That's always reason to celebrate.
I’m running the Immich ~~Flatpak~~ Snap specifically for this reason. It’s always one version out of date but always self updates without issues :)
flatpak
You mean as a client or a server?
I misremembered; I run “Immich Distribution” which is a snap and I run it on a Debian server.

I finally moved from reddit to Lemmy. maybe a 3-4 hour set up time to get it all working lol.

Finally moved all my lxc onto a lower-power Xeon D host, consumes 1/3 the electricity of my previous Dell R430, same essential performance.
