I migrated iptimr-kuma to the new v2.0 release. The DB migration took a long time. I learned I probably should have run the vacuum command before the migration, but I never noticed the button in the settings before.

Also preparing Jellyfin for its new 10.11.0 which comes with another long running DB migration.

Another benefit is if you lose your all parity disks and a data disk, you can still access the filesystem on the other data disks. So if the array fails, you don’t lose all the data, just the 1 (failed) disk worth of files.

Yubikey. It supports TOTP as well as passkeys. Plus is a physical device separate from my phone. Recommend getting 2 to have 1 as backup

I just rolled some of this out on my setup. I already had lidarr running, but didn’t know about the metadata issue.

Beets is running excruciatingly slow importing my music collection. Anyone have any insight on this? I’m running the Linuxserver.io docker container with a very basic config.

Soulseek is new to me and I set that up with a vpn.

Are you using B2 or S3? Setting both might be causing it to get confused. The bucket name needs to be appended to the end of the S3 or B2 URL like “s3:b2.backblaze.com/<bucket_name>” inside the RESTIC_REPOSITORY variable

I implemented authentik for my immich server just last week and I can confirm that Immich will merge the accounts as long as they have the same email address. My other services I had to configure to use email matching. Paperless-ngx needed an environment variable added to allow it, and Grafana I didn’t even have a user created for myself, just used the default admin account.

Jellyfin doesn’t support OIDC without a 3rd party plugin, so I haven’t set that one up yet. I also don’t use nextcloud, so can’t comment on that.

I hate to say it, but i kinda saw this coming. Ever since they went public, i lost trust in them as they become beholden to profit maximizing shareholders. I switched away 3 years ago. The part I didn’t expect was the lies and insolvency.

I switched to StorJ, which supports S3 and works as a drop in replacement for a lower price.

Another good drop in alternative that speaks S3 is scaleway. Their based in France, but it’s a bit more pricy, especially with the US$ taking a nosedive against the euro.

Tailscale is how I access my server. I’ve got a domain name that points to the internal tailscale IP address, but that’s not really necessary

I run uptime-kuma on a cheap VPS and have it ping my external ports on the home server. If the house loses internet I still get alerts.

I use restic with a wrapper script to automate it on all of my machines. The backend storage can be anything that speaks S3, so B2, or iDrive would both work. I currently use Storj for my backend. It’s globally distributed storage, so no single point of failure geographically and it’s cheap. Backblaze is also a great company, but I’ve grown a little skeptical since they went public.

I live in a national park and the Govt just awarded a contract to a private company to build a fiber line to the villages for high speed internet, and the company building the thing will own the network while the govt is stuck paying the bill forever. So stupid imho. No private company should own a network that exists entirely on federal land, and everyone depends on .

I’ve used backblaze b2 for almost 8 years now and it just works. I’ve never had any data lost by them in that time.

I just recently switched over to Storj.io as it a bit cheaper at only $4/TB as compared to B2 at $6/TB. Both are S3 compatible and work with just about every backup software out there. I have used Borg, Kopia and now Restic to do backups of important data. All 3 tools deduplicate all your data and reduces the amount of storage used. They also do encryption client side and are open source. They also have a built-in verification mechanism that checks the data is intact.
