Many goals, little time, so we'll see what actually materializes 😅
- Reimplement my Grafana+Loki stack on public cloud, replace Promtail with a proper Prometheus pipeline (queries are making my qnap go brrr)
- Start up an Immich instance and migrate Google photos to it
- Set up Authentik or something equivalent for the aforementioned services and others. I already have a basic Traefik test config without authentication but still don't have it working 100%, so everything stays on TailScale for now

- Setup my two offsite backups at work and family home.
- Decide if I want more storage or to start deleting some media.
- Setup a work server.
- Something fun?
I want to improve my notifications. With that I mean emails coming from the server when updates are available when something happens during my rsync backup routines or just when they are completed and so on. Right now I don't really know when something is happening just when the server is not working anymore.

It would be to replace my 4-bay Synology DS918 NAS with something with more drive bays and 10 Gbit connectivity

At some point I need to migrate off Hyper-V. Probably to Proxmox.
Ugh. I don’t wanna.
I want to move my 4x SFP+ from their current MicroTik switch to my new Brocade. Then I'm very strongly debating running both VM and Ceph over the same 10Gbps connections, removing the ugly USB Ethernet dongles from my three Proxmox Lenovo M920q boxes.
After that? Maybe look at finally migrating Vault off my ClusterHat to Kubernetes.
I'm designing a modular rack shelf mounted 3D printed server case. I hope to finish it by moving my backup server to the new case.
Nothing fancy but I found an old RPI3 and want to selfhost Vaultwarden and piped on that thing to give my parents a way to watch YouTube without those nasty ads and give them a proper and easy way to store their password. (Over wireguard tunnel)
Also If the universe aligns buy a N100 or 200? To host my own router/switch setup and finally take advantage of my 5Gbit fiber 🫤. I still need to figure out how I get WiFi AP to work with a N100...
Not much but I have a lot other things to figure out but mostly software wise :).
Move from Ubuntu to Debian and add more cameras to frigate.
Finish my migration to my local Kubernetes cluster. Tired of running a mix of vms, docker, and bare metal. I got it setup and a few things, just have to power through.
I also need to bump the drive size in my NAS as I’m running low and want to leverage it more, not less. (Pods use PVs hosted on the NAS over NFS or iSCSI).
And get my offsite backups going again, I had to move this last year and it put a real damper on my goals for last year so there’s a lot of “got the stuff just have to make it work”.
Edit: the UDM Pro is pretty nice. That, a rack and a 2.5G enterprise switch were last year’s acquisitions.
Add an NVMe cache to my server and upgrade RAM if pricing permits.
From the software side there are a lot of open feature requests I keep adding to my backlog, like setting up a mail archive, reconfiguring my network (separate IoT devices into separate VLANs), maybe reconfigure some of my containers, …
I'm due a backup and other than that I hope nothing breaks
Loving all these goals and ideas!
Lots to think about and put on the to do list!
Great question and I'm loving the action.
All I need to figure out is how to replicate one trunas pool to another trunas machine as a backup.
replication tasks are all failing, rsync is taking absolutely forever, and I need my backup, I feel naked!
I need to move my mishmash of hard drives, fans, cables, and NUC into a proper NAS box, with a proper power supply and a mini itx motherboard.
Harvester cluster my everything. I really want to play around with having my servers being stationary, a togo cluster (laptops, and UPS in a suit case), and PC all in the same cluster.
Right now they are all segmented rke2 clusters, but Harvester should make running vms way easier too.
