Migrated my self-hosted Nextcloud to AIO and I absolutely love it in c/selfhosted

[–] rambos 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

One of the first services on my server was nextcloud in docker container from lsio. Never had problems so there was no need to try AIO, but so many people recommend that, it will be my next setup if this one fails me

Newbie questions in c/3dprinting

Correct and sounds like the best of both worlds

I'll grab a kitchen sponge

You can just cut 30x30 mm peace and zip-tie it over filament 😉

Newbie questions in c/3dprinting

[–] rambos 10 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Enclosure will protect printer from dust and it will also keep the ambient temperature more stable. Dont make it hermetic sealed, better add few holes on the front and few on the back for example. I have a low rpm fan with dust filter because I mostly print PLA and in long prints (12h+) temperature can go a bit too high if there is no airflow at all. Keep in mind that enclosure should be removed sometimes for mintainance, removable sides is what you should look for.

You can leave filament on the printer, but if you dont use it for a long time it could get wet and then you have to dry it. Keep the rest of the spools in plastic sealed box or bag and put some silica gel inside.

Full calibration should be done once, but fine tuning when you face some issues or when you change to different brand or filament type. It depends how well the printer is assembled and how experienced you are, it can take only 5 min every few months, but begginers can spend days sometimes.

Extra tips: clean your rails and wheels whenever you can (once a month at least) for dusty garage. Get a kitchen sponge, drill a hole in it and guide filament trough the hole to remove any dust before extruder.

Welcome to the most fun hoby and happy printing!

Those who are self hosting at home, what case are you using? (Looking for recommendations) in c/selfhosted

[–] rambos 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

For 9 disks I would need to print a bigger case, but this one suits me well for now 😉

Should I use Restic, Borg, or Kopia for container backups? in c/selfhosted

[–] rambos 2 points 11 months ago

Daily backup to backblaze b2 and also to local storage with kopia. Its been running for a year I think, no issues at all. I didnt need a real backup yet, just did some restore tests so far

TailScale, reverse VPN, or something else to make Kavita available remotely? in c/selfhosted

[–] rambos 5 points 11 months ago

I was asking the same question a year ago and now Im running 30-40 services, all available remotely using VPN.

Everyone is talking about tailscale and how easy it is to setup (never tried it), but I went for pure wireguard VPN and IMO its not complicated at all. I have 3 devices with access to VPN, but I also use reverse proxy NPM (+ pihole as DNS server) just to be able to use custom domain like nextcloud.example instead of typing IP:PORT. I dont feel comfortable with opening ports to public, but had 0 issues with wireguard port opened (so far).

Just giving you an example, other people here might have better advices

What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive? in c/[email protected]

If OP cant use more than one disk at once, how can they benefit from mergerfs?

Looking for low power devices for selfhosting in c/selfhosted

[–] rambos 3 points 11 months ago

In my country pi4 8GB ram with PSU 130€ and then you need SD card and/or SSD

[–] rambos 3 points 11 months ago

Adding my data as well:

My server is diy desktop pc - mbo MSI Z270-A PRO with celeron G3930 and 16GB RAM, 3x SSD on 550W PSU, idles at 23W. After adding another 3.5" HDD consuption went up to 34W. 34W in Ctoatia is around 34€ a year.

Some SFF PCs are at 10-15W. SBCs like rpi should be below 10 W, but dont think you can get anything new for 80€

Sorry if this is covered somewhere but I couldn't find it! I need recommendations on a good starter NAS in c/[email protected]

[–] rambos 1 points 11 months ago

Your cpu supports quick sync so I bet you are good without gpu. Try it yourself before buying one, you also drain less power

Issues with layer adhesion (i think) in c/3dprinting

[–] rambos 1 points 11 months ago

-4c is extreemly cold, get thermometer inside of enclosure and leave your heatbed on until it reaches 10-15C before you start printing. Even better get enclosure heater. Id also bump nozzle temp to the highest marked on your spool.

[SOLVED] Cant access local services when using VPN (AirVPN) (self.selfhosted)

submitted 1 year ago by rambos to c/selfhosted

[Solved - I was blind. I had to enable local access and disable DNS Switch mode in Eddie]

I wanted to edit main post, but fatfingered delete button.... Solved in meantime, but reposting just because of that, sorry about that...

I couldn't access local services running on home server (not exposed) while VPN connection is active (Eddie). Fellow selfhoster told me to check if I have enabled local network, then I also found settings where I had to disable DNS Switch mode which is solution! Thank you

Hide virtualisation from virtual machine (self.linux)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by rambos to c/[email protected]

Title sounds confusing and It might be wrong terminology, sorry about that. I have POP OS and windows in VM (virtualbox) for few apps that are not available on linux. Im trying to install one app that requires diferent activation method because it recognized Im running virtual machine. Is there any way to hide that so I can activate the app the way I usually do on non-VM windows?

I hope I was clear enough, cheers

Edit: typo

Is this normal power consuption on idle? [SOLVED] (lemmy.world)

Hey guys, I have Corsair RM550x that is turning on/off its fan in 65-70 min cycles when PC is on idle. When PSU fan is off I meassure 31W from wall and 21W when fan is off. Other PSUs are not like that and they are around 25W. Funny thing is that fan shouldnt even spin below 220W iirc and I found it hillarius that its using less power when fan is on. PC is working fine, but is this normal?

Edit: specs - MSI Z270-A PRO, intel G3930, 8gb ram, 2 sata SSD and no GPU

Edit 2:

Thank you all for helping me out!

I believe that no flow in case caused PSU overheating and due to lower efficiency at higher temp PSU was using more power. Enabling case fans with small positive pressure fixed the problem immediately and now its stable at 24W on idle. On the next diagram PC was idle for only short period of time, so you can also see power curve when it was running some services, but still "much" less than 30 W.

Edit 3: Before this post I asked Corsair about that, but got only bot level responses. Conversation was going in circle and then I gave up :D

Setting Alarm from Home Assistant (self.android)

submitted 1 year ago by rambos to c/android

6 comments fedilink

Hey guys, I'm using Home Assistant to set alarms on my phone and its working fine. I can set alarm time with a message using this string in my yaml file:

"android.intent.extra.alarm.HOUR:{{8}},android.intent.extra.alarm.MINUTES:{{15}},android.intent.extra.alarm.SKIP_UI:true,android.intent.extra.alarm.MESSAGE:Take Medication"

Now I'd like to add a daily repeat or for example repeat every Wednesday. From the same source I found it should be possible using EXTRA_DAYS. I couldn't find any example so I was trying every combination that came to my mind like:

android.intent.extra.alarm.DAYS:{{Calendar.SATURDAY, Calendar.WEDNESDAY}}
android.intent.extra.alarm.DAYS:{{ [Calendar.SATURDAY, Calendar.WEDNESDAY] }}
android.intent.extra.alarm.DAYS:[Calendar.SATURDAY, Calendar.WEDNESDAY]
etc.

How to shape that android.intent.extra.alarm.DAYS properly? Documentation says the values should be ArrayList<Integer>:

Documentation is on this link

Customize card for counters (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by rambos to c/homeassistant

3 comments fedilink

Hello lemings and old redditors!

I have counter for each of medication that gets decrement with automations once or twice a day at specific time. That works fine, but now I'd like to see for how many days I have pills left before I have to resupply. For example I take 2 pills of decortin per day and since there are 8 in counter I have enough for next 4 days and that will be on 21.06.2023. But I take 4 pills of envarsus per day and that means I have to resupply in 7 days since there are only 29 pills left. So basically I want a Card on my dashboard with 2 additional columns, how can I do that?
