Looking for some kind of local DB manager? "application" with a gui
  • It's already been recommended, but I think Grist or a lowcode/nocode thing like baserow or nocodb might work for you.

    Also, I'd love to see what you come up with! My cats are picky eaters and I've been wanting to keep track of what wet food they like or not.

  • Looking for a dockerhub alternative
  • I use the Nexus free version. You can cache docker registries and other repos like apt/yum/pypi/etc.

    It works pretty well, but could be overkill compared to some of the other options.

  • Haptic: A new local-first, privacy-focused and open-source home for your markdown notes
  • I like it, it seems pretty stable to me. I didn't use it much before the query/template stuff was changed. I think both are fine right now, but don't really know what it looked like before.

    There's also "space-script" now which is basically like mini javascript plugins you can write inside your notes. It's what drew me away from trilium in the end.

    I don't blame you for taking a break if you ran into breaking changes though. That's one benefit to keeping your notes in regular markdown files too.

  • Should I keep shared or separate k8s clusters?
  • Do you use garage for backups by any chance? I was wanting to deploy it in kubernetes, but one of my uses would be to back up volumes, and.. that doesn't really help me if the kubernetes cluster itself is broken somehow and I have to rebuild it.

    I kind of want to avoid a separate cluster for storage or even separate vms. I'm still thinking of deploying garage in k8s, and then just using rclone or something to copy the contents from garage s3 to my nas

  • Chromecast / Firestick Self Host Replacement
  • I really like mine too, I also have a tube and a pro. Both of them have a weird issue with the TV I use most often though. Both shields won't display anything unless I boot them in safe mode.

    They both work on a different tv that is 4k. This one is an older 1080p plasma. But it's weird that it used to work just fine. It might be related to the TV, but no other devices have issues so it's cheaper to replace one of the shields than buy a new tv lol.

  • Chromecast / Firestick Self Host Replacement
  • I'm still using an Nvidia shield which I guess counts as an android box. I thought they'd release a new version by now, but I'm considering building a htpc instead.

    I used to use a raspberry pi 2 or 3 and it worked fine for 1080p content. Not sure if the newer pis support 4k, but it's on my list to look into eventually.

  • Should I keep shared or separate k8s clusters?

    I've been in the process of migrating a lot things back to kubernetes, and I'm debating whether I should have separate private and public clusters.

    Some stuff I'll keep out of kubernetes and leave in separate vms, like nextcloud/immich/etc. Basically anything I think would be more likely to have sensitive data in it.

    I also have a few public-facing things like public websites, a matrix server, etc.

    Right now I'm solving this by having two separate ingress controllers in one cluster - one for private stuff only available over a vpn, and one only available over public ips.

    The main concern I'd have is reducing the blast radius if something gets compromised. But I also don't know if I really want to maintain multiple personal clusters. I am using Omni+Talos for kubernetes, so it's not too difficult to maintain two clusters. It would be more inefficient as far as resources go since some of the nodes are baremetal servers and others are only vms. I wouldn't be able to share a large baremetal server anymore, unless I split it into vms.

    What are y'all's opinions on whether to keep everything in one cluster or not?

    Simple authentication for homelab?

    What's everyones recommendations for a self-hosted authentication system?

    My requirements are basically something lightweight that can handle logins for both regular users and google. I only have 4-5 total users.

    So far, I've looked at and tested:

    • Authentik - Seems okay, but also really slow for some reason. I'm also not a fan of the username on one page, password on the next screen flow
    • Keycloak - Looks like it might be lighter in resources these days, but definitely complicated to use
    • LLDAP - I'd be happy to use it for the ldap backend, but it doesn't solve the whole problem
    • Authelia - No web ui, which is fine, but also doesn't support social logins as far as I can tell. I think it would be my choice if it did support oidc
    • Zitadel - Sounds promising, but I spent a couple hours troubleshooting it just to get it working. I might go back to it, but I've had the most trouble with it so far and can't even compare the actual config yet

    Centralized backup server (with clients)?

    Does anyone have recommendations for centralized backup servers that use the server/client model?

    My backups are relatively simple in that I use rsync to pull everything from remote machines to a single server and then run restic on that server to back them up and also copy that backup to cloud storage.

    I've been looking at some other software again like Bacula/Bareos/UrBackup and wondering if anyone's currently using one of them or something like it that they like?

    Ideally I'm looking for a more user-friendly polished interface for managing backups across multiple servers and desktops/laptops. I'm testing Bareos now, but it'll probably not work out since the web ui doesn't allow adding new jobs/volumes/etc.
