Home assistant integration could accomplish this for you. Not sure if it’s less work than regular mobile clients, though.

I thought that looked familiar, but didn’t want to assume that lighthouse stairways are unique.

I think fans of Nix and NixOS would agree.

This is really more of a home networking issue than anything having to do with self-hosting. Please consider posting this in one of the many Lemmy home networking communities.

This is a question probably better-suited for one of the Proxmox communities. But, I’ll give it a try.

Regarding your concerns about new SSDs and old VM configs: why not upgrade to PVE8 on the existing hardware? This would seem to mitigate your concerns about PVE8 restoring VMs from a PVE7 system. Still, I wouldn’t expect it to be a problem either way.

Not sure about your TrueNAS question. I wouldn’t expect any issues unless a PVE8 installs brings with it a kernel driver change that is relevant to hardware.

Finally, there are several config files that would be good to capture for backup. Proxmox itself doesn’t have a quick list, but this link has one that looks about right: https://www.hungred.com/how-to/list-of-proxmox-important-configuration-files-directory/

Is there any actual research? All I see are TikTok videos and Reddit comments.

Love another iOS option.

Nextcloud Photos performs okay, but the interface is very ‘meh’. Plus, the mobile client’s sync is a little unstable. On iOS, there’s no background sync at all.

This seems the correct advice. If the container is on the same host as the data, there’s no need to access the data via Samba. In fact, it’s likely the container doesn’t contain the samba client needed for such connectivity.

Assuming TrueNAS allows the containers to see local data, a bind mount is the way to go.

wtf ?

This is good stuff. Has it been posted to the project’s GitHub (issue, discussion, etc.)?

Just watched this episode. It was as fun as a Q episode can be. Slightly annoying that the omnipotent beings can come around and NOT whoosh Voyager forward on the journey home.

Have you considered searching the GitHub issues?

I love how the ONE time they did, all the fears were validated.

IMO, this is a discussion that should be taking place on the project’s GitHub. I’m going to lock the comments so I don’t get any more reports about commenters’ behavior.

Hilariously true

I imagine this would be up to the application. What you’re describing would been seen by the OS as the device becoming unavailable. That won’t really affect the OS. But, it could cause problems with the drivers and/or applications that are expecting the device to be available. The effect could range from “hm, the GPU isn’t responding, oh well” to a kernel panic.

I still use the label ‘homelab’ for everything in my house, including the production services. It’s just a convenient term and not something I’ve seen anyone split hairs about until now.

if nothing on it is permanent. You can have a home lab where the things you’re testing are self hosted apps. But if the server in question is meant to be permanent, like if you’re backing up the data on it, or you’ve got it on a UPS you make sure it stays available, or you would be upset if somebody came by and accidentally unplugged it during the day, it’s not a home lab.

A home lab is an unimportant, transient environment me

Tailscale is an overlay network. It will use whatever networking is available. If only one of those NICs is a gateway, then that’s what will be used to reach remote Tailnet resources.

Leaving this post here since it’s an interesting project to keep an eye on, but the conversation isn’t constructive. So, locking the comments.
