Same setup, all in Proxmox.

Works really well

Damn it, you made me giggle!

Ditto, same experience in Oslo.

Boring feels like the only “right” thing these days, with Trump and Putin doing their things.

The media and politicians seem to take the Epstein-files seriously and prosecute, and I personally don’t really notice any difference if the right or the left hold the government.

Life feels pretty good, tbh.

Same for me.

The moment I can use Docker, I’m spinning it up with Tailscale and invite those who are ready to swap.

Fingers crossed it turns out as good as we hope!

I own a .me domain as my last name was taken locally. Had it for a few years.

.me is just so easy to share over the phone and looks cool, so I’d probably keep it even if I manage to snag the local one in the future.

No issues so far

Yeah this is what we’re waiting for too.
Looks very exciting to self host with Tailscale/Netbird.

I managed, without ever trying, to convert a friend to swap to Linux about a month ago.

Today I’m driving over to give him my old old server so he can start self hosting. He’s super keen on getting started.

So not my success, but ours? One more person joins the community today!

Same story here.

Have two private trackers now, but started with just using the ones I had heard of, and removed a few that kept coming up short.

It works fine, but torrents died quite fast as most people don’t bother seeding there.
For new stuff it worked fine

Concur on the PS2. Been super happy with ours.
Chose it because we disliked Musk and wanted buttons.

Cupra Born as the second car. Also been a problem free and fun little thing.

Today I would look at the EX60, I4 or Polestar 4.

Agree!
I’ve managed to convert three friends this last year. Two to Mint, one to Bazzite because he mostly games.

Immutable distro is perfect for him, just working out of the box.

Next «level» for him would probably be Fedora KDE Plasma, for sure not Arch.

Oooooooooh, well god dingit, there it is!

Nice! Thanks again!

Seems to be missing in 10.11.3, so I might just be a few patches behind.
I’ll read the patch notes and see if it’s been added recently.

Just posting as it’s good to know for others searching, I guess.

I obviously need to have another look when I get home!
The issue started on 10.10, but I haven’t looked into it after upgrading.

Thanks for taking the time, Freund!

You are right, there is a checkbox, but no way to adjust the interval AFAIK.
It seems to be a daily occurrence, which is fine when I just adjusted the container size.

I’m going to be more weary of buying devices without H265/AV1 in the future, which is what I grab mostly. That should remove the need for transcoding completely anyways.

It’s been fairly smooth lately, knock on wood!

My Valheim server that is set up for friends and family had some issues, but nothing in the logs so I assume it was a weird network issue that solved itself.

I also battled some problems with the Jellyfin temp/transcode folder ballooning in size, causing the whole server to crash as I hadn’t dedicated enough space to the container. Considered making a script to clear the folder at even intervals, but it would cock up streaming if the missus was watching while the purge happened.
Ended up just giving it 100 GB and let the daily clear be enough.
It ended up being the missus’ tablet suddenly requesting transcode of everything but H264, so I’m quietly hinting that she is due an upgrade anyways…

Next project planned: Caddy (I’ve been saying that for 6 months…)

I’ll tag on you comment as it’s the same country:

About 10-12k NOK (so about 1000€) for a family of four.
Could probably reduce, but it’s important for us that the kids have access to healthy food that they like.
Take-out not included, which we do once or twice a month. Probably around 100-120 € there.
Tobacco for me is probably another 200 €. I should probably quit snusing…

I also have a Synology NAS and second this.

Yes, it’s super cool to selfhost a NAS yourself, but I really just want my storage to work and not need to be tinkered with at all. I’d be mauled by the missus if something was to happen to my AIO-server/NAS, so I’d rather split them.

Let a professional company deal with keeping your storage online at all times, and have fun with the “not so important” things like docker containers on your own server.
It costs a bit more, but it gives me peace of mind.

I second this.

Bought a $150 NGKTech from Aliexpress with 16 GB of RAM a couple of years ago, and it’s been such a beast with Proxmox.
Extremely low power consumption, no fan noise, barely any heat and chugs through Jellyfin transcoding, Minecraft/Valheim servers, HA OS and so many more small containers.
Just remember to set the C-state in BIOS and re-paste the CPU before you fire it up. The stock stuff is crap.

I was expecting to outgrow it quite quickly, but it just powers through it all.
I can’t see any reason to get anything more powerful at all.

Whatever you reason: let’s get you started!

Let me know if you’re taking me up on the offer or feel free to ask me directly if you’re more comfortable with that.

Happy New Year!

Agree with everybody else here: don’t pay anyone for this.
We’re all a bunch of people hating that everything costs so much, so we selfhost what we can.

Use us, learn from our mistakes, make your own and start over when you fuck up to badly. We’ve all done it and still do it.
We’ll hold your hand every time you come back and ask for help, as long as you’ve shown at least a tiny bit of effort on your end.

Depending on your timezone, I could hop in a quick Discord call and nudge you in the right direction if it gets you going. I have some experience with ADHD so I know from second hand experience how you feel.
My TZ is CET.

Best of luck anyways!
