That likely means the server is still up and just the Lemmy containers/just the frontend container is down. The default setup has nginx proxying the /pictrs to pictrs I think.

Copying my other comment. It opens PRs to change the tag from the docker image.

I have all my compose stacks in git. They’re deployed from their git repos with Komodo.

Renovate is a bot that checks git repos for dependencies (mostly container images in this case) and checks if there’s a newer version available. If yes, it creates a merge request to update the version. I review the requests and merge, then the updated compose stack gets deployed with Komodo. It’s a great semi automatic way to handle updates without giving up control.

There’s a nice how to here: https://nickcunningh.am/blog/how-to-automate-version-updates-for-your-self-hosted-docker-containers-with-gitea-renovate-and-komodo

Yeah that sounds terrible. Also my main reason to hate discord.

It mentions how several open source projects have their communities on Discord.

Hrmmm?

Already updated yesterday 🤓 All hail the mighty renovate

Absolutely no. Kubernetes has it’s benefits and it can make sense to get into it for tinkering etc, but if you just want to set up matrix and not learn an entire new system, stay away from it.

Seen two spam comments today.

I have everything sorted by new though and they were gone shortly after reporting.

It’s just not mentioned prominently https://github.com/spacebarchat/docker

Oh hell yeah, I didn’t know about the raidz extension. That’s amazing!

It’s in the latest TrueNAS versions. https://www.truenas.com/blog/electric-eel-openzfs-23/

Can’t say anything on unify, but what’s wrong with ZFS in the homelab, especially if you know it already? I use ZFS on my Proxmox hosts and my TrueNAS.

Networking looks fine, but check fail2ban as the other commenter mentioned, it goes to the npm.

Make sure to keep all internet facing applications up to date and use strong passwords.

Home Assistant has a great integration, ZHA, which “drives” the Zigbee device. So having the Zigbee dongle on the machine HA runs on is very common. In my case it’s a raspberry with a RaspBee dongle but every MINI PC will do. Recommended devices: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha#recommended-zigbee-radio-adapters-and-modules

The other common setup is using Zigbee2MQTT which allows different devices that communicate over LAN. it’s been the go to recommendation as it has some compatibility improvements for devices that don’t properly follow the Zigbee standard. ZHA is keeping up though and is natively supported by home assistant. I’m using ZHA and check for compatibility before buying devices.

You can theoretically switch later, but you’ll have to reconnect all devices which can be a hassle.

Not sure how that’s related to docker. It’s the prometheus setup which can be run natively just fine. Still needs an agent that actually retrieves info from the OS.

Certainly there’s “single executable” tools as well. I just don’t know them.

Yes. Prometheus isn’t standalone though, it requires agents on all target machines. The go-to is node exporter. It’s really flexible though and there’s agents for lots of different tools, you can monitor everything with it, but the initial setup isn’t suuper easy.

Both! Connecting Iot devices to your LAN is a security risk, since they sometimes carry malware. Many DDOS these days are performed by smart bulbs or the like. May even sniff in your network. Of course you can firewall them, but why bother with wifi at all then? Zigbee is pretty reliable and works even if your router goes down (you probably can’t access Home Assistant Web interface anymore, but zigbee light switches etc will still trigger zigbee bulbs, zigbee thermeters will still report their sensor values etc).

I’m a Zigbee user so I use that in the examples but I’m sure the other options are fine as well.

If you aren’t locked in yet, I’d recommend against WiFi devices. Check Zigbee or similar. It won’t clutter your LAN and is independent. You usually need some kind of central station for that but it’s worth it imho.
