What's happening on your servers? Any interesting news things you tried?

I didn't do anyone other than updating Mastodon (native deployment) lately due to a lack of time. Reading so much about Immich caused me to consider trying it in parallel to Nextcloud but I'm not sure if I want to have everything twice.

Not quite homelab, but I'm about to install Linux Mint on my mom's laptop and that had me thinking about creating an off-site backup in her place again since she has a fiber connection. I'm still not sure about the potential design though, but currently my only backup is in the same rack as the live stuff.

I’ve set up Uptime Kuma this weekend, monitoring everything from Docker containers, network devices (like IPcams, switches, printers, …), wireguard tunnels, etc etc. (I have 65 monitors set up so far) and a Signal rest api for notifications.

Furthermore, I integrated multiple new ESPHome switches into my Home Assistant setup for cable model reset, alarm system controller reset, etc.

Once I have Uptime Kuma finetuned I will automated som resets.

Uptime Kuma is amazing so far.

Pretty cool! I'm using Prometheus but I alert over Matrix. Do you have a specific Signal bot account or are you using your normal one and send to yourself?

[–] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I actually registered my unused landline for the signal rest api account a long time ago, been using that one for all kinds of automated notifications for over a year.

Oh that's an amazing idea! I need to check if I still have a landline number and if I can answer calls to it somehow..

this might be my next project. I need uptime management for my services, my VPN likes to randomly kill itself.
