What’s everyone’s server naming scheme?
Nice.
Elements of the periodic table.
So what happens when you cluster Na with H20?
Big bada boom
Hey I’m kinda struggling to get my stuff self hosted. I set proxmox up and now I don’t know what to do with it :D. Any suggestions?
Proxmox helper scripts! These help a lot.
+1 for the helper scripts
Soooo, proxmox is just the base of the ecosystem, it allows you to load a bunch of containers and virtual machines.
If you’re not sure what you want yo host check this page out.
https://www.turnkeylinux.org/lxc
They have a bunch of container templates that are ready to host.
I’ve been trying to replace could services with self hosted ones for me and my loved ones; these are some of my favorites:
- Nextcloud: replaces onedrive and dropbox
- Pangolin: Replaces Cloudflared (a little technical)
- Jellifin: Locally hosted netflix clone
- Game server: Awesome multi game server host, I use it to play minecraft with my nephews, has a ton of games you can host
- Joomla: (or any other CMS) when you mix it with Pangolin, it’s an easy way to host a website
- Netbird: overlay network manager that allows you to join multiple sites/networks as one LAN, it’s great for off site backups and to play with friends and family without having to host anything
- Grafana: Monitoring, data analytics and alerts. It’s like task manager but a thousand times better.
- Yunohost: It’s a one click install user friendly interface to manage web apps.
Wasn’t there some drama recently about Turnkey? I vaguely remember some kind of kerfuffle.
Haven’t heard the gossip, please pray tell.
I may be hallucinating. It’s kind of hard to keep up with everything sometimes. I’ll see if I can dig up something. I wasn’t throwing shade on your suggestion, or trying to inject doubt. It just triggered a light in my brain, but unfortunately, my brain has no recollection except that there was something. Thanks pos brain!
P.s. Vault warden is an EXCELLENT self hosted password manager, highly recommend that as well.
P.P.S Do not make a self-hosted password manager your first project. You should expect one of these first projects to absolutely eat shit for reasons you don’t fully understand yet, and having it be your daily-driver password manager would be a hell of a shitty weekend.
Is there a guide to set something like this up? I have jellyfin on Ubuntu server and I’d very much like to get something that’s got an interface I can understand.
There are a ton of guides out there, but the problem with open source software is that you can make it as yours as you want so every deployment is different. You would be better off doing some googling on what you want to get to, and asking more specific questions. Everyone in the community loves to help, but we need to know how.
Heads up. I think you meant to reply but made a new comment.
Mine is Final Fantasy summon monsters!
I’m boring. I’ll name physical hardware after the model name or manufacturer or something like that. My main host is just named “DellPVE” and then I’ll name VM/containers after the service it’s running, “radarr”, “plex”, “pihole” etc.
I personally name my servers after Rain World iterators and creatures. I fear the day when I run out of names.
I went with a SciFi ship theme, my main server is VMS-HORIZON (Virtual Machine Ship). The VMs have ship component names like AUDIO-CORE (navidrome) and VISUAL-CORE (Immich).
My Raspberry Pi is named ORBITER, like a orbiting shuttle/satellite, and the VM it has is called BEACON (for Gotify)
I named a lot of my machines hackbox…
🤣 do you switch to elf names after the first 12?
You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen. Comet, and Cupid, and Donner, and Blitzen…
Close, LCC. I do have a portrainer instance for docker images, but I like the extra control that San lxc gives you
Man I wish I spent time actually learning Proxmox, instead dumped everything into a headless Debian VM and called it a day.
I do famous libraries with interesting names. My first was Roi, after the fictional library designed by a guy named Boullee. My next was Ashur, a shortening of an ancient Assyrian library. Recently got a VPS but haven’t settled on a name for that one, just been calling it by its model. CX43 - call it Codex, perhaps?
