Selfhosted

1. Finish building a mini-rack with a server (almost done).
2. Finish cabling the house with CAT6 cables.
3. Migrate the current VPS running my docker services to the self-hosted server.
4. Implement a NAS on the server using a virtualized OpenMediaVault instance.
5. Migrate my network infrastructure from a single asuswrt-merlin router to OPNSense + Cisco Switch.

Buy a home.

I want to make an sbc nas, as I dont need much. But finding the right sbc is hard, hoping the odroid h4+ will do the trick.

Building a new, bigger, storage server using TrueNAS scale. I’ve been on CORE forever and it works well. Running out of space, though, and might as well upgrade the OS too.

Be brave enough to test my backups

Part of the *arr stack, to find some obscur films and old series.

• Log Monitoring and Collection.
• More storage for my plex/nextcloud servers
• VLANs for my servers.
• Move to K8s
• Better service monitoring
• New server to set devpods up on

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, …

Move from Ubuntu to Debian and add more cameras to frigate.

Figure out why my new 10GbE NIC won’t read in my repurposed gaming rig (now server), get all my storage migrated over to Ceph, transition my services over to Proxmox hosted Talos k8s stack from my RPi-hosted k3s stack.

Most important: replace the raspi SD card with an SSD

General hardware: see if I find a better solution than my current Proxmox box (repurposed desktop which consumes 60w idling but is capped to 16GB Ram)

Incoming traffic: currently having a VM that runs nothing but nginx and certbot. Considering switching to another reverse proxy and, more important, get proper monitoring of the logs (e.g. IP detection, 403, etc)

Maybe add some iam like authentik

Finding a solution for selfhosting podcasts client with sync on Android and Linux.. gpodder never really seemed to work, considering audiobookshelf.

Probably setting up calibre web and gethomepage

Keeping what I have and maybe optimize a bit:

• Prometheus stack
• plenty exporters
• Nextcloud
• paperless
• home assistant, mosquitto
• pihole
• vaultwarden
• selfoss

On VPS:

• Mastodon
• Bookwyrm
• some WordPress (want to move this to my homeserver as well)

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.

Considering my boot drive just died, backups. Also wanna get a fractal node 804 and cram tons of HDDs in it. Probably a new build with ecc as well. Perhaps transitioning current server to backup server. Also my directory structure for media is a jumbled mess of incomprehensible nonsense. I should fix that. Also I lost all my torrents that I was uploading but still have the media but can't keep seeding after the drive failure.

A ton.

1. Set up email and website hosting on a VPS to replace current setup
2. Get more solid state storage for my home server and finnish immich setup (import photos and all that)
3. Set up proper backups for the home server
4. Migrate current Unifi controller to home server
5. Local VPN server to access home assistant and other services even when travelling
6. Spend some time with my home assistant server, fine tune automations, add some more, add sensors and more controls, maybe add a wall mounted tablet for managing the thing and so on, it'll never end and need a visit or two from electrician too
7. Better isolation for IOT things on my network. I already have separate VLAN for them without internet access, but it's a bit incomplete project

And then "would be nice" stuff:

1. Switch Dahua NVR to something else. Current one works in a sense that it stores video, but movement tracking isn't really perfect and the whole individual NVR box is a bit lacking both in speed and in features
2. Replace the whole home server (currently running proxmox, which in itself is fine). It's a old server I got from work, and it does work, but it's not reundant and it's getting old. So something less power hungry and less noisy would be nice. It just asks some money and time, which I have neither in surplus, so we'll see.
3. Move home assistant from a raspberry pi to the home server. Maybe add zigbee capabilities next to z-wave and wifi.

And likely a ton more which I don't remember right now. Money and specially spare time to tinker are just lacking.

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'm due a backup and other than that I hope nothing breaks

At some point I need to migrate off Hyper-V. Probably to Proxmox.

Ugh. I don’t wanna.

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 :).
