Not really, I just update containers via Portainer and update the OS with a bash script. Once every few weeks I just roll through them all, only takes 30 mins at most
Interesting, I’ll admit its been a little while since I went in there. My main concern was the ability to upload files. Text I don’t care about too much, but when random people start uploading files, thats a problem
Thanks! I’ll check Caddy out
I’m not bad, but I suspect I’m worse than a lot of guys out there
Thanks!
Zero problems, often times stuff in the house is actually hotter than stuff in the garage funnily enough, even in summer
Thanks!
Yes, I have a 27kw Natural Gas standby generator with an ATS. It takes 10 seconds from power failure, to it switching to generator power. So, the UPS just bridges that gap
In the extremely unlikely even the natural gas goes out, I have a 7.2kw Tri-fuel portable generator (Gasoline, NG and Propane) and I keep around 80 gallons of gasoline on hand, and I have an inlet and interlock on the main breaker, so I can switch to that if needed
its a Natural Gas generator, and it actually takes 10 SECONDS!
I don’t know if I should be happy or sad
I have Bitwarden set to give my wife access if she requests it and I don’t respond in X days
Things generally “just work” so she would have access to everything, and she can figure out what she wants to do. All the passwords are there and all of the configs are fairly easy for stuff she cares about anyway
Best I can do is my public key on the contact page!
Just wait until they remove your favorite show and jack up the price
Good to hear! I replied above about it, here was my reply
I am using CloudFlare in front of it, so that’s probably why. But even directly its pretty quick. I guess NVMe storage and decent internet means its fast?
- You’re using the Linode box as the server, on which you forward ports for your services. Am I to assume that you somehow access your homelab via your VPN using the Linode box too? Usually people would access their lab at home directly.
Yes, I also access the lab via the Linode box. I do however have direct VPN access too. The reason for using the Linode box is that for some reason, the speed and latency via the Linode box is far better that directly in. I can only assume its some kind of peering thing. I always connect in via my phone on T-Mobile, so perhaps the connection between T-Mobile and Linode, and the connection between AT&T and Linode, is better than T-Mobile to AT&T Residential? Unsure, all I know is that it works 100x better. And it also means I don’t need 2 different connections for the primary and secondary WAN, I can just connected to Linode and it will connect over whatever connection is active
- Wouldn’t a whitebox build for your NAS save power?
This really is a whitebox build, it uses very little power. The disks use the most amount of power, which there is no getting around
- What are you using both switches for? Are you running out of ports?
The 1Gb switches? yes, I ran out of ports on the Dell, or am very, very close
- Since you’re running VMWare, are you running VMs for every service? Why not containers?
Everything that can run in containers already is, on Debian VM’s within ESXi
- Even if most of the content on your blog is static, how are you hosting it for it to load so quickly? Are you using some sort of CDN in front of your Linode box to cache the static assets like pictures?

Thanks!
Thanks!
If you bring the beer

I pasted into Discord and it just shows the rack, that is so odd
Oh jeeeeez! That’s what I get for copying and pasting a million times
EDIT: FIXED!
