Any recommendations for my Homepage setup or services to add/replace?

1% CPU usages, 50% RAM usage. That checks out.
I’m guessing that a good chunk of that usage is coming from the TrueNAS VM.
Correct, most of that is ZFS cache. All of my containers are barely using 2-3GB.
I have similar stats on my server. I have ~40 containers running (some are duplicate because I am to lazy to combine all PSQL servers). And since I am the only user, most of them are idle for a lot of the time.
This is such a good way of organizing services. Thanks!
Yeah, Homepage is great.
Looks great OP! If I hadn’t chose Homar long ago, it would definetly be the one I’d use. Homarr will do some metrics like Homepage. What kind of 3d printer do you have?
I have a Prusa Core One+ that I just got and built recently, don’t have anything for it on the homepage. Then the Octoprint is on a Pi 3B plugged into my Prusa MK3S+. I’ve been trying to sell the MK3S+ because I don’t have room for them both, but not getting any takers.
Prusa Core One+
That’s a nice one. I was gifted a Raise3D Pro2 Plus. It is very useful around the farm.
How do you find dockge over portainer? I tried it but it uses more resources and i couldn’t individually start/stop apps in a stack. It was all or nothing.
I only recently started using it, honestly couldn’t say. I’ve never used portainer. I just started using dockge because that’s what the guide I was following for the arr stack was using. Still haven’t finished the arr stack setup yet. I did stand up changedetection with dockge though because trying to set it up in TrueNAS was a pain in the ass when trying to get it to play with playwright correctly.
How do you find dockge over portainer?
I’ve used it briefly, and then went back to Portainer. I had no real complaints about dockge, other than I could drive the Portainer bus more efficiently and it just seemed to fit my flow. There are quite a few here that use dockge tho, so it must be a capable app.
Could you point to how you get something like this started?
I run Home Assistant on a RPi4 but have a capable computer I would love to use for self hosting, especially immich.
Could you point to how you get something like this started?
The Homepage wiki is pretty detailed.
Look up some youtube videos on self hosting. For Immich I just mostly followed their guide on their site. Really depends on what you want to do and how you want to do it.
I was talking about how you have everything organized, it looks great.
Look into docker containers in general. If I was going to start from scratch in your position this is what I’d do:
Install a Linux distribution on the computer you plan to use for self hosting. I found Debian with the KDE plasma desktop environment to be pretty familiar coming from Windows. You could technically do most of this on Windows but imo self hosting is pretty much the only thing that a casual user would find better supported through Linux than Windows. The tools are made for people who want to do things themselves and those kinds of people tend to use Linux.
Once you have a Linux distribution installed, get docker set up. Once docker is set up, install portainer as your first docker container. The steps above require some command line work, which may or may not be intimidating for you, but once you have portainer functional you will have a GUI for docker that is easier to use than CLI for most people.
From this point you can find the docker installation instructions for any service you want to run. Docker containers have all the required dependencies of a given service packaged together nicely so deploying new services is super easy once you get the hang of it. You basically just have to define where the container should store it’s data and what web port you want to access the service on. The rest is preconfigured for you by the people who created the container.
There’s certainly more to be said on this topic, some of which you would likely want to look into before you deploy something your whole family will be using (storage setup and backup capability, virtual machines to segregate services, remote accessibility, security, etc). However, the above is really all you need to get to the point where you can deploy pretty much anything you’d like on your local network. The rest is more about best practices and saving yourself headaches when something breaks than it is about functionality.
I honestly don’t understand the need for bentopdf. Why is hosting PDF manipulation useful?
You basically get all of the things an adobe subscription would get you for free? Also, I’m on Linux so no Adobe anyway. It all runs in the browser so no need to install software.
Yeah, I see the tooling and it seems nice. I’ve always used the CLI tools and scripts I’ve built over the years to get this done, but having unified functions in one place is great.
I just don’t understand the hosting part… Is there an advantage to having it hosted rather than in a local appimage or flatpak? Maybe I’m misunderstanding the premise…
Well the dev built it to run in a container image. You’d have to ask them why that was their choice instead of making an app that can be installed. The dev is on Lemmy, they’ve posted before. Shoot them a message.
Fair enough, thanks for taking the time.
I have been debating on making a home page out of my core service bookmarks. Have you explored many options? At one point I just considered making an HA dash
can you share the config?
Just speak to me like I’m a dumb person, but what the hell is the point of hosting proton stuff? I’m a proton user and never once has this thought ever crossed my mind. What am I missing out on?
I’m not hosting Proton, these are just links on my homepage. Things I’m hosting have the dots next to them or say (self-hosted) in the description.
That looks awesome.
I want to set up something like this as well, I just don’t have that much free time
Any recommendations on getting music and podcasts? I’d like to self host my current Spotify list to dump that service too
