Thanks to this community I've learned and I'm feeling inspired. I've loved having an NAS for the last few years, but it's woefully under powered for what I'm using it for these days.

So I've ordered some basic PC parts, gonna build a basic setup using an old CPU I got lying about and try the NAS OS I saw talked about on here recently.

TrueNAS looks like a good option with only slight fears it'll go down the well known path to the dark side like so many free options before.

In any event, I'm looking forward to adding Nextcloud and Jellyfin, to trying out Docker and generally having more control over things.

Thanks again to you all for informing and inspiring.

I'll be back if I get questions!

When you end up having a mini homelab look into komo.do for container orchestration over the overkill options like kubernetes or portainer

anything worth doing is worth overdoing

I prefer dockge for putting all of my compositions in one place.

And being able to manage multiple hosts in one UI is the absolute tits. There are a few features I miss from portainer but none strong enough to pull me back. And no bs SaaS licensing and costs...

Portainer is way too bloated for personal use. I liked it initially, but the licensing shit was, well, shit, and the way it managed compose files was garbage. Dockge is way better for my use case, since it works alongside Docker, instead of fucking off to do its own thing.

But k3s so niiiice.

So what's the threshold for 'mini' vs 'you need to stop'...? Number of hosts, or number of containers, or number of public services, or...

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

When you lose a system. It responds to ping; all services are up, but you can't find the damn thing.

So, not a number so much as a limit to your organizational skill+effort.

Not sure, currently have 8 nodes and 40 apps running
