What’s up, what’s down and what are you not sure about?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

Personally I'm finally reaping the fruits of my labour and enjoy my stable homelab without doing much. One node went down recently and the other took over until I restarted so I was not in a hurry to fix things. Enjoying family time and only running updates that aren't automated (yet). I'm about to dig a bit deeper into logging, probably setting up central log collection like Loki at some point, but not yet.

I finished setting up my personal computer with Sway on Alpine so now I can't procrastinate anymore on getting TLS working with Caddy for my RPi 5.

I decided to ditch Cloudflare since using that service makes me feel uncomfortable. TLS is a bit of a pain because I am using an uncommon port so I need to do a DNS challenge. I still haven't been able to get it working with DeSec.io but I hope maybe sometime this week.

I might look into using a tunnel service in the future but if I can figure this out, I'll at least be able to adapt to changes in the future if I need to deal with any changing situations.

When I figure that out, I'll look into Gemeni protocol and host something there. I don't want anything big, just a little space of my own in the corner of the internet. Maybe I'll look into hosting an irc server for a small group of people too.

I'm also using caddy with desec.io. When first triggering the challenge for an entry, it can fail a couple of times. I think it just takes a while for the DNS entry to be available.

Another thing that I've experienced is that I can't use wildcard subdomain entries. My guess is that it's somehow because I only have public IPv6 addresses (but I don't remember the details). I have configured an internal DNS with the wildcard entry since I'm only ever connecting to that host via wireguard from outside my network. For the host itself I've created a regular AAAA record.
