Like 1 hour every two months or so, I just run an ansible playbook and check everything is working ok

Syncthing, Gitea, jellyfin (with arr stack), audiobookshelf, Kavita.

Great starting point! I think option 1 will be better for this scenario. But later if you can, a cheap desktop build will be better for proxmox since you will have more room to expand and play with more things, add more storage even GPU for jellyfin.

Have fun!

I perform a backup once a week from my main desktop to a HDD, then once a month I copy important data/files from all nodes (proxmox, rpi’s and main desktop) to 2 “cold” unplugged HDD that’s the only time I connect them. I do all of that using rsync with backup.sh and coldbackup.sh

I use syncthing for notes across mobile/desktop/notebook, for that and other important files the backup goes to Google Drive or MEGA (besides the offline backup).

I want to try S3 Glacier since is cheaper for cloud backup… has anyone tried?

Sure you can check https://trash-guides.info/

and here is my setup, I’m using podman containers for everything

I’m using my RPi4 4gb to run a home media server, jellyfin and *arr stack all containerized and automated. Also syncthing for obsidian. Works perfectly

Wait for it to go up gain 🥲. But now I’m curious how people use 4G as second option maybe I will try juat for fun.

Goddady. It’s cheap they have my local currency.

Those that are hosting their own mail server, did you stop using regular mail (gmail, outlook etc). Is possible to migrate to self hosted mail? I don’t think I can’t stop using gmail and other google services that’s stopping me from trying to do this.

Make sure my proxmox desktop build can do GPU passthrough.

I use podman auto-update command.

I’d also like to see what others use

Awesome summary of how podman works.

I still haven’t figured out some issues with rootless podman where I pass the PUID and PGID of “myuser” 1000 as environment variable following the linuxserver.io examples… but then get files and folders owned by 100999:100999, if I chown files to “myuser” the service gets permission denied, I give up and chown everything to 100999 as workaround it works but is a bit annoying… Maybe someone here knows what’s going on?

I use debian VMs and create rootless podman containers for everything. Here’s my collection so far.

I’m currently in the process of learning how to combine this with ansible… that would save me some time when migrating servers/instances.
