So, I have this docker server running a bunch of services through Traefik. This is working well for me as the services are picked up by traefik based on labels in the docker-compose for each app (instead of setting things up on the traefik side explicitly). Setting up a new app is painless with respect …

The projectsend page at LinuxServer.io is great but missing something… like the database config. You CAN stand up a database for this and other services but wanting my docker compose files to create complete working applications, I’m happy to spend the memory and CPU on yet another database instance just for this docker container. There’s …
Now that the drive has been shared to this VM, I had this idea that I’d move /var to this drive. The theory being that it will just work and var will have this huge space to work with (2 or 4 TB depending on the drive I’ve connected). Looks like there’s a challenge with this idea …

UPDATE: I’ve abandoned this setup. Despite the fact that this works here, later it is a nightmare to deal with permissions. Trying to get anything to run on docker on this setup is beyond my capability or patience to figure out. If I was more patient it might work from a NAS setup on the …

So, I have an IMMICH server and I found a bunch of stuff in the uploads folder that looks like it’s probably bad images that didn’t make and other chaff. I wanted to have look to make sure the images actually made it (compare what I’m seeing that’s broken and stuck in uploads with what I …
Beginning to build a homelab has been an experience. Picking the underlying system on which to build took way too long. But now that I’ve settled on something (proxmox with a simple VM host for Docker, no portainer, k8s, no NAS. As few layers as possible for now) progress is being made. I started by setting up a …

2023-12-28: UPDATE the second: much battling with TrueNAS ensued and I simply don’t have enough understanding to troubleshoot all the layers involved in TrueNAS. After not being able to get anything that I wanted to work (Nextcloud, Vaultwarden) I gave up and ignored the whole thing for a while. I realized that I need to start very …
This post was originally written around april of 2006:This is a bad day for our american neighbors south of the border and potentially for many english speaking users of the internet. The US Senate Commerce Committee rejected language in a bill which is making it”s way through the senate which would ensure network neutrality. What …

This is not a new idea however the wrinkle for me is that I figured this out after running multiple separate installs of wordpress (and Lyceum actually) for a while. Upgrading wasn’t a real priority (which I know is an invitation) not that any of the blogs are wildly popular (one gets a bunch of …
Son of the return of the software that ate my blog. After having lyceum cack and eat the data from my previous blogging attempts. I have found a less painful way to manage multiple blogs in a single install of software. Stay tuned for a posting describing the configuration of this blog and the …
