Hugo calls these sorts of things “frontends” and has a list here: https://gohugo.io/tools/frontends/

I haven’t had great luck with any of them personally.

I wouldn’t want to host anything on Windows unless you have to, or you want to learn more about Active Directory / Exchange / etc to help with a day job (assuming your day job is sysadmin / IT). Even then I’d do that inside Windows VMs on a Linux / ESXi host.

I personally wouldn’t (and don’t) host authoritative servers externally to the internet. I do split-horizon DNS, so that my internal BIND server handles my LAN, but I have outside DNS handled by someone that has an ACME (Let’s Encrypt) module, so that I can do wildcart certs.

One thing to look into as you spin up services at home would be some sort of VPN like Tailscale, WireGuard, or even something like Cloudflare Tunnel so that you’re not exposing services directly to the internet if you don’t absolutely have to. I believe some of these projects/products let you specify DNS servers so that when your phone (for example) is connected to the VPN, it uses your home DNS servers instead of public ones.

Your very own self-hosting legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with self-hosting awaits!

I’ve actually done this for a Microsoft owned IP before. Someone was Wordpress-scanning a particularly fragile application of one of my clients (which was not Wordpress) which was causing it to fall over. The scan stopped within an hour of sending the abuse email.

Edit to add: I used to work in a NOC for a tier 1 ISP. We had an “abuse department” (a couple people) that investigated these and opened tickets with the NOC. I’ve emailed customers and disconnected circuits as a result of abuse emails, so I wouldn’t say they’re totally useless, but I’m sure it depends on the company involved.

It’s free as in “paying zero money”. It’s still distributed via leanpub. Requires an email address to get to the download page, it doesn’t verify it in any way other than being a valid email format. Links are to DRM-free epub and PDF.

Couple questions:

• What’s your ISP at home?
• What’s the ISP of the remote IPv6 server?
• Are the other networks you’ve tried from the same or different?

I’d start with traceroute and see how far your IPv6 traffic gets before it fails. It could very well be some peering or routing issue between some of the ISPs in between you and wherever that IPv6 address lives. If this ends up identifying where the traffic dies, a lot of the tier 1 ISPs have BGP looking glass servers so you can get an idea of what they know about that subnet.

I believe the activity table in Postgres is retained for 6 months (although I’m purging mine daily) and the pict-rs cache is 168 hours (1 week).

Yep, using ingress-nginx on k3s as well.

We’re using it in production at my day job in a couple of places.

I use ingress-ngnix for all my ingress controllers, I’ve only messed with Traefik a bit in Kubernetes and it felt like it was fighting me the whole time.

I haven’t used Docker Swarm (I have barely used Docker Compose), but I have run a couple on-prem Kubernetes clusters (at my house and for clients at my day job) and cloud Kubernetes clusters, so I can speak to how complex it is it set up and run.

My background is systems administration, engineering, IT, and now DevOps. I’ve been using Linux since Ubuntu 6.06.

I set up my Kubernetes cluster with kubeadm because I wanted to learn, and it took me about a weekend to get my single master, two worker cluster up and running. I think you could probably do this using k3s much faster and have less learning curve (you don’t have to care as much about Container Network Interfaces, for example, because k3s makes that decision for you.)

There is a lot of documentation out there on Kubernetes. Helm as a “package manager” (really a templating engine) can be nice if the software you want to deploy has a Helm chart that is well written. Writing your own Helm charts can be a learning process, I’ve modified some but not written one from scratch yet.

Kubernetes releases new versions about quarterly. I’ve done several upgrades on my primary home cluster over the course of the past 2 years and they’ve been pretty smooth, about an hour of time investment total each. And remember, I’m on the more nerdy and complex flavor of Kubernetes. I think with k3s these would be even smoother and quicker.

I feel like Kubernetes knowledge is probably more valuable out in the industry if that’s a factor for you. I haven’t come across any Docker Swarm clusters in my DevOps travels, just Kubernetes and some HashiCorp Nomad.

I’m curious to see what folks say about Docker Swarm. If you have any questions about Kubernetes or running your workload on it, I’d be happy to try to help!

I am! @gabe565@lemmy.cook.gg and I worked on setting this up yesterday. He mentioned building a Helm chart for the whole shebang.

DM’d!

Secrets in BitWarden, documentation in Bookstack.

28. Some of those are lemmy.ml and not a lot of comments, etc have synced yet.

I’m up to about 300MB of disk usage after a day of hosting my own. Curious to see how it grows.

I’m running a Kubernetes cluster on the Dell hardware, then another single node k8s cluster on the Lenovo, mostly to run Adguard home / DNS in case the big cluster goes down for whatever reason.

Hardware:

• Two Dell r610s, each with 12 cores and 96 GB of RAM, running ESXi 6.7
• Lenovo M900, 4 core, 16 GB RAM, Ubuntu and k3s
• Synology 1515 with 12 TB usable
• Synology 1517 with 32 TB usable
• Juniper SRX 220H (Firewall)
• Juniper EX 2200 48 port switch
• UnFi in-wall WiFi APs

I run the following services, all in Kubernetes, with FluxCD doing GitOps from a repo in GitHub (for now, might move to Gitea later):

• Authentik
• Bookstack
• Calibre
• Flame (Homepage)
• Frigate NVR
• Home Assistant
• Memos
• Monica
• Plex
• Prowlarr
• Radarr
• Rocket Chat
• Sonarr
• Tandoor
• Tautulli
• Unifi
• UptimeKuma
• VS Code
• Zigbee2MQTT
