Tracking Port Usage in c/main@selfhosted.forum
[–] apperrault@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Apparently, I just needed to wait. :-) I happened to be looking at something else today and found this project https://github.com/Notifiarr/dockwatch

If you look at one of the panels, it shows ports being used!!

Tracking Port Usage in c/main@selfhosted.forum

I need it when I add new containers. I need to know what ports are not in use.

Tracking Port Usage (alien.top)
 

hey all, maybe my Google-Fu is glitching tonight, but what, if anything, do y'all use to track port usage in your docker containers? I know I can browse through Portainer, or grep some data out of my docker compose files etc, but I am hosting things on 3 different machines through a single reverse proxy, and I am just looking for an easy way to trace what ports are in use.

Ideally this would be some sort of container that can gather this data, but looking for recommendations

thanks

[–] apperrault@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have run far more on far less. I'm actually running 72 containers on an older Dell mini and the only thing that causes it to be slow is the writing to the external USB drive. You would be surprised at how efficient containers are

I actually just got the same or similar device. My plan right now, since it has 2 NICs is to install proxmox as my hypervisor, then install Opnsense for a firewall, then either Debian or Ubuntu server to run my docker stacks with all storage going to my Synology NAS. Also, as for VPN containers, I typically use the QbitVPN container so it is self contained to the container itself. Basically I only need VPN for torrents since Usenet already goes over https. I then create a wireguard container to VPN into for access from outside my house.

Raid setup recommendations (alien.top)
 

Hey all, just purchased a new NAS, Synology 8-bay, full of 6TB drives. I don't want to debate the Synology OS vs something like TrueNAS or similar OS. What RAID would you setup the drives with? Raid 5, Raid 6, something different? Looking for a nice balance between available space, speed and recovery in the event of something fails. I will be mostly be storing media (videos etc) family photos etc. Anything critical will be replicated to a remote NAS and Google drive.

What do you recommend

Thanks

Self-hosted Readly/Magazine Server? in c/main@selfhosted.forum

commenting just so i can follow the post. I get a bunch of cooking magazines this way and I would love an efficient way of presenting and reading them

Document Management - Looking for solution in c/main@selfhosted.forum
[–] apperrault@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

if you are looking for document management, the Paperless NGX is the way to go. You could always try something like Nextcloud, but that is basically just a storage area, not an indexing solution

Nextcloud or Immich in c/main@selfhosted.forum
[–] apperrault@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I am in the exact same spot. I like Immich, and that is what I am using for my phone, but I think that NextCloud memories might be more user friendly for my SO. I haven't really played much with it, but I may end up doing both, not sure yet

What is the one thing every self-hosted household should have? in c/main@selfhosted.forum
[–] apperrault@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I like Mealie too, just installed it the other day. I also found a companion app for Android that add it to the Share-with button so if you are browsing a recipe on your phone, you can share it to Mealie and it will import it for you.

Looking for recommendations on how to set it up (alien.top)
 

hey all

I am thinking of rebuilding my infrastructure and am looking for recommendations. I have 3 decent processor, 32GB RAM mini-computers (2 think center and 1 Dell SFF). I am currently running Ubuntu Server and Docker on each of the systems. I would like to maybe load balance some of this out without having to move things manually.

Right now all of my storage is external USB drives. Right now is not the time to upgrade to NAS. I can mount the drives to one of the systems and then NFS share to all of the systems.

Would you recommend Kubernetes, Swarm (i have no experience with either, but have been an Admin for 25 years so am technically proficient) or something else?

let me know your thoughts.

Right now, two of the systems are not doing much so I could get the new infrastructure setup with these two and then add the 3rd one once I migrate the containers to the new setup

thanks
