Add an NVMe cache to my server and upgrade RAM if pricing permits.
From the software side there are a lot of open feature requests I keep adding to my backlog, like setting up a mail archive, reconfiguring my network (separate IoT devices into separate VLANs), maybe reconfigure some of my containers, …
I'm due a backup and other than that I hope nothing breaks
Loving all these goals and ideas!
Lots to think about and put on the to do list!
Great question and I'm loving the action.
All I need to figure out is how to replicate one trunas pool to another trunas machine as a backup.
replication tasks are all failing, rsync is taking absolutely forever, and I need my backup, I feel naked!
- Install Comms box in office.
- Get Unifi switch.
- Run Cat6A to all rooms of house.
- Consolidate NUC and N100's fewer devices.
- Install 2x U6 Wall units. 6 Begin scoping Surveillance cameras. Torn between Synology and Unifi.
Most important: replace the raspi SD card with an SSD
General hardware: see if I find a better solution than my current Proxmox box (repurposed desktop which consumes 60w idling but is capped to 16GB Ram)
Incoming traffic: currently having a VM that runs nothing but nginx and certbot. Considering switching to another reverse proxy and, more important, get proper monitoring of the logs (e.g. IP detection, 403, etc)
Maybe add some iam like authentik
Finding a solution for selfhosting podcasts client with sync on Android and Linux.. gpodder never really seemed to work, considering audiobookshelf.
Probably setting up calibre web and gethomepage
Keeping what I have and maybe optimize a bit:
- Prometheus stack
- plenty exporters
- Nextcloud
- paperless
- home assistant, mosquitto
- pihole
- vaultwarden
- selfoss
On VPS:
- Mastodon
- Bookwyrm
- some WordPress (want to move this to my homeserver as well)
Probably a hardware upgrade of some kind. The i5-7500 is not cutting it for Minecraft servers with mods and Arma 3 servers, single thread performance is just too slow. So I may grab an i3-14100 or similar and a motherboard and do that swap.
Really a few things. What I am looking to do is create a highly dynamic system where I can easily deploy something by kicking off some automation. To do this I am first creating a base Ceph shared filesystem. This will be mounted in all VMs so that I can use Ansible to quickly spin up Docker containers via docker compose. This will make it much easier to dynamically create resources and services since I won't need to worry about all the underlying components. I simply kick off the automation for any changes. I already have the automation to create new VMs.
I'm currently saving up to buy a fractal design node 804 to build a NAS with 4 drives within. Also trying to create some more reliable backups using said NAS.
