The PSU for my #DIYNAS finally arrived and I’ve put everything together. Ready for the first launch. My biggest concern is HBA SAS controller. Will it work? I have total of seven storage drives connected. Hope to see them all in BIOS setup.
Hope I’ll be able to get to the BIOS setup ))

Self-Host Weekly (2 May 2025)

#Icon updates, software updates and launches, a spotlight on #Mazanoke -- an image conversion web app, #community content, and more in this week's #selfhosted recap!

Self-hosting FTW!

Just got FreshRSS up and running in Docker, all accessible securely over my Tailnet.

I am running #PhotoPrism on a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM, using a 1TB SSD as the main and only drive, using the Pimoroni NVMe Base.

So far, I could not properly measure the performance, because I don’t know how to do it, but I am satisfied! Yet, this is definitely not a future-proof solution, since I need way more storage: I still haven’t imported most of my pictures there, and I need to prepare for plenty more to come.

The simplest (yet quite pricey, 261£) option would be to get a Pimoroni NVMe Duo and maximize it with a total of 4TB NVMe SSDs.

I think this is not optimal, though, and probably I could be spending all that money much better… Do you have any advice?

The thing about hosting a personal media gallery is that it requires a lot of resources when indexing the pictures (so only when you add new ones), then it’s super light—correct me if I am wrong, @photoprism. Hence, I’m thinking the best would be an extensible solution where I can add many HDDs and SSDs, without being forced to pump up the other specs too. I would probably be using just one NVMe SSD for the software and the database, and then save everything else in high-performance HDDs, since they are getting cheap and I can get much more storage with less money—of course I am performing a daily backup off-site, as they are more likely to fail, too.

If I am 100% sure that whatever I end up choosing will be solid for many years to come, I am willing to consider spending a bit more on it.

Estaba pensando en empezar a comprarme los componentes para montarme un home server destinado a un almacenamiento algo más serio que el que tengo actualmente montado con un mini-pc y un disco USB.

El caso es que por falta de tiempo y porque hace ya 10 años que monté mi último PC no estoy nada al día de como se mueve el mundo del HW casero y me gustaría pedir opinion a terceros.

De momento lo que he visto se va a parecer bastante a esto de aqui:
https://www.pccomponentes.com/configurador/C80674D36

Obviad la caja porque ya he visto otra Micro-ATX en otro sitio que me gusta más.

La idea es montar algo que me sirva almacenar, pero tambien para descargas (torrent, Sonarr, Radarr...) y emisión mediante Jellyfin. No quiero comprarme un NAS porque creo que eso limita mis posibilidades. Tampoco quiero venirme arriba y dejarme 1000€ solo en lo básico.

La placa creo que es más que suficiente para poder montarme un servidor con 4x discos SATA/SAS y el procesador seleccionado (i3 14100 3,5/4.7 GHz). En cuanto a memoria, creo que con 16GB voy sobrado. Faltan los discos y la fuente de alimentación, obviamente.

¿Qué opináis? ¿Alguien con experiencia que pueda echarme una mano y tenga ganas?

¡Gracias!

selfh.st/icons - a curated collection of 4,400+ icons - now supports custom colors (bring your own)! I've developed a (self-hostable) lightweight proxy server that can intercept icon requests and apply custom colors based on a hex color code in the URL parameters.

Check out the post below for more details and be gentle as this is my first public #development project...ever.

Anyone successfully taken apart a Dell Power Edge and moved all the components to a different case?

We are wondering if it makes more sense to rebuild the Dell or start over (and if so, how?).

If we start over, we'll add a graphics card but we do have the Dell, so we'd prefer continuing to use it instead of figuring out what components to spend money on.

Those finished solutions aren't the right choice for us.

So what's the play right now for Home Server / HomeLab processors? I am not really considering desktop class processors due to limit in PCIe lanes (I need more pipes vs. wider pipes) and modern server class processors are expensive.

umbrelOS

Nennt mich "Hacker of the Universe"! :-) Gerade umbrelOS 1.4 auf meinem Raspberry Pi 4 installiert - war auch in zwei Minuten erledigt und lief. Soll in der neuen Version eine eigene "Files"-Variante erhalten haben. Funkt auch, aber nur mit umbrelHOME (= kleines NAS) ist die Nutzung externer Datenträger möglich.

Kriegt man aber wohl auch so hin - probiere ich jetzt mal gründlicher aus.

Short announcement as we approach the end of the week -- 'This Week in Self-Hosted' is officially being rebranded to 'Self-Host Weekly'.

I discuss the rationale a bit in the linked post, but ultimately, it's an attempt to distance myself from the many 'This Week in <topic>' publications that currently exist.

"Setting up Anubis to protect cgit from AI crawlers"
https://sysrq.in/en/article/cgit-with-anubis.md

This is my new attempt at writing a useful guide! In the article I try to explain my current configuration for running cgit (or any other CGI application) with Anubis.

The guide suggests using uWSGI to serve CGI, with Nginx being a reverse proxy.

Hey Fedi, been a while!

Excited to announce the first release (v0.5.0-rc.5) of Continuwuity:
https://continuwuity.org/
https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/releases/tag/v0.5.0-rc.5

Continuwuity is a community-led fork of the Matrix homeserver conduwuit, picking up development after the original was archived (see: https://girlboss.ceo/~strawberry/conduwuit.txt).

Good news for existing users: Continuwuity is a drop-in replacement! Just swap the binary/Docker image.
Conduwuit still runs but isn't updated; Continuwuity is the path forward.

We're a group of former conduwuit admins & contributors aiming for stability & new features. Check our roadmap/issues: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues

I'm not super active here, so for questions/discussion, join our Matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/#continuwuity:continuwuity.org

If I want to get a #HomeServer for #Immich, #AdGuard, #NextCloud, and, probably, some additional services, what OS and what hardware should I have a look at? How much for a decent setup? #selfhosted

Excellent.

I got it so that https://delores.internal.jws.app and https://apis.internal.jws.app work ... but only if you have a VPN connection to the home server.
