  • Just this week, I setup Homepage to monitor my server and its various docker containers at a glance, including cpu/ram/network usage and a whole bunch of information pulled from their APIs (such as how many itemes are actively downloading via sonarr+sabnzbd, or how many queries were blocked by pihole today).

    That in turn lead me too Glances, both as various widgets in Homepage as well as a stand alone tool.

    Note: Homepage doesn’t come with authentication. You’ll have to handle that yourself via a reverse proxy or vpn. Glances has an optional login page you can enable, but I haven’t explored that. I access services like these by connecting to my network through OpenVPN.




  • Find a problem they are experiencing and introduce them to a solution they can self-host to fix it. Expand from there.

    I began my self-hosting journey 7ish years ago with media piracy and a desire to watch/access my files wherever I was. Learned of Plex, then Emby, Reverse Proxies, Domains, SSL, and on and on…

    Today I’m running 24+ docker containers and some miscellaneous stuff, across 3 systems; that’s always accessible via my domain/vpn.


  • what does not work:

    • i can not ping server.local (- for testing i have to stop the systemd-resolved.service to run the dnsmasq server, or else there are port collisions, but that should not be the problem i guess. I am happy to hear your solution :))
    • i can also not use ssh to log in to server.local, ip address works

    Have you added “server.local” as a DNS record in your dnsmasq container, pointing to your servers LAN IP? Sounds like dnsmasq isn’t resolving that name, which would lead to both of these ‘failures’.

    Why not both?

    My primary DNS is pihole on a rpi dedicated to the task; but I run a second instance of pihole via my main docker stack for redundancy. Should one or the other be unavailable, there’s a second one to pick up the slack.

    I just provide both DNS IPs to LAN clients via DHCP.

    Gravity Sync is a great tool to keep both piholes settings/records/lists in sync.




  • I work warehousing; no IT background, I just like to tinker with whatever. Have since I started breathing.

    I was a fairly casual pirate, grabbing movies/shows I couldn’t find elsewhere (or just couldn’t afford). Got into Plex/Emby for my first real exploration into self-hosting (if you don’t count SRCDS and/or Minecraft Server at like 13yo); and expanded my knowledge from there. Reverse Proxys, the ‘arrs’, DNS, Docker, VPNs, etc.

    Now a days, I’ve got 20+ services that I mostly access via a VPN I host, and I’m always interested in messing with new things :)

    Head over to lemmy.ml (in a browser) click on ‘mod log’ at the bottom and search your name.

    There’s another 20ish communities on lemmy.ml you’ve been banned from at the same time for the same reason.
