As of 2024-09-03T22:10:25.545Z, Starlink is now complying with Brazil’s X ban [1].

LibreOffice Draw?

All of the services that I host are for private use:

• Nextcloud
• FreshRSS
• Immich
• Jellyfin
• RSSBridge

And they are all behind Caddy, which reverse proxies and handles HTTPS. I’m not sure if it really counts as self-hosting, but I also use my server as a host for my backups with Borg. I also use it as a sort of central syncing point for Syncthing.

I did have a Pi-Hole at one point, but I kept running into issues with it — I may look into it again in the future.

At some point I’d like to try implementing some ideas that I’ve had for Homeassistant (a camera server with Frigate and some other automation things). Once federation has been implemented, I would like to host a Forgejo instance. I may also host a Simplex relay server, depending on how the app progresses. I’ve been considering hosting a Matrix instance, but I’m not sure yet.

Are you looking for something for a headless server or something for a system with a GUI (eg a desktop)?

It entirely depends on how you want your homelab to work. I use a reverse proxy to set up subdomains for my publicly facing services because I find it easier and cleaner to assign a subdomain to each service, and I also like having HTTPS managed by a single point — a sort of single point of entry to the rest of the services. You’d have to decide what you want out of your homelab, and find and set up the services that yield the outcome that you want.

Yeah, take a look at the solution at the top of the post.

I thought Kenobi was rather awful. Probably some of the worst writing and directing to come out of a major production company.

Imo, The Acolyte hasn’t been that bad so far. It’s not amazing, mind you, and it still suffers from the plague of mediocrity that seems to be going around in the new movies and shows that have been coming out, but it’s definitely watchable. The set and costume design are great, the acting is alright, directing is alright, but the writing has been rather hit or miss so far.

Potentially an unpopular opinion, but I’ve always loved the political side of star wars, so I would love to see more of that. I felt that the Clone Wars struck a healthy balance between politics and action, but I would still love to see more of the political side.

Ahh, the good ol’ sunk cost fallacy.

I think the distinction is important so as not to detract from what is arguably more horrible and worthy of condemnation — pedophilia.

so might run into more roadblocks with its use.

This has been my experience with Podman. That’s not to say that these roablocks aren’t without reason, nor merit, but there is always a trade off of convenience when optimizing for security.

Podman is […] “better” because it doesn’t run as root, but other than that I don’t know of any advantages to it that are not a derivation of “it runs as a regular user”.

Podman can run in rootless mode (with some caveats), but it is still able to run as root — it doesn’t only have the capability to run as a “regular user”.

I am curious what kind of performance you’re seeing for DNS requests considering how old and anemic the first gen Pi is

I haven’t done any rigorous tests to gather empirical data for an accurate comparison, but, annectdotally, it, at least, doesn’t feel any slower than when I had my router (Linksys E8450) resolving to Cloudflare.

I could be misunderstanding your comment, but you don’t seem to have answered my question of why I don’t see my rules anymore.

Now that it is up and running, do you think it’s is a good service?

That’s a good question. The service itself is well made — it functions as advertised, it has satisfactorily intuitive UX, a sizeable community, and a good amount of documentation. I’m not sure, yet, if it’s a service that I personally need — I set it up mostly for the benefit of others.

While you may not like the setup

The main pain points were the sparse, vague, and misleading documentation that I encountered — I understand that documentation is difficult, but for a company like Raspberry Pi, my standards, and expecations are quite a bit higher. I probably won’t use Podman anymore, as I don’t find its setup overly user friendly, currently, as compared to something like docker. I had never used Podman before, and I was considering switching my existing services over to it, so this was sort of meant to be a trial run on something with little impact. I will keep an eye on Podman, but I will stick with Docker for the time being.

do you enjoy the results?

I personally don’t notice its effects as much, but I do like what I’m seeing for others. It has also made me aware of some other issues that I’ll have to look into, so that is good.

It’s a raspberry pi 1. Those things have 256mb of RAM

The exact model that I am using, which I referenced in my post, actually has 512MB of RAM.

Given the extremely limited resources: why bother with containers?

While, from what I can see, containers virtually don’t add any resource overhead, it’s honestly moreso that I favor consistency. Containerization is well documented, it is well supported, and its behaviour (if one is familiar with the platform) tends to be more predictable than running a service natively.

See the post for the solution.
