    An electric pressure cooker makes it a mindless activity. Load it, turn it on, come back when it beeps, or tomorrow… Who cares, it’s sterile in there.

    Then to reduce: turn it on, come back when it beeps. Dial in the times and electric pressure cookers make recipes ridiculously repeatable.

    My only criticism is their food is fairly homogenous so I add some crunch on the side just for some heterogeneity. Insane effort to value ratio.


  • Solid question. Mostly curiosity, education, love of the game. I started with raspian + docker, and wanted to see if the grass was greener. I could probably achieve everything I’m doing now on Debian + Docker. If I tore it all down, I’d probably go back to Debian + Docker managed with Dockge (probably) just for the simplicity.

    Automagic snapshots though, I still haven’t learned to take a back up before tinkering, I probably never will. So lxcs are set to snap shot at appropriate intervals, so if I try change a thing, fuck it up, it’s incredibly convenient for me to roll it back and try again. A solveable problem in Debian, I’m sure, but I like how Docker does it. Native WebUI is nice. I like how Proxmox handles file permissions, it’s running my raid and I just bind mount the zpool.

    Dunno, my stuff works, I’m comfortable with it. There’s more for me to learn yet. But if I were of a learning mood, I’d probably experiment with Nix.


  • I use proxmox, all the *arrs are in one docker host running as an LXC. So the stack is: Proxmox> LXC> Docker Compose> Gluetun> *arrs.

    I run it this way because ease of set up, as a normie Nix scares me in ways YAML doesn’t. It’s one big compose file, everything talks to each other using the virtual docker network. Update is one button. It just works™.

    I have an Lxc running jellyfin as a front end, an Audiobookshelf Lxc, one running Seerr. A bunch of other front end service lxcs (Immich, Homarr, what have you). All the front ends have Tailscale installed for remote access.

    Family and friends have a pi acting as an access point to Tailscale. Then it’s the nginx, pihole combo for nice URLs and HTTPS. Nothing is on the open web, it’s all behind tailscale.

    I started on just a pi running docker running everything for my fiancée and I, then it just kinda grew. I originally just wanted to block ads.

    Trash-guides is your friend for *arr set up. Dockstarter is your friend for basic installation of *arrs. Thousands of guides on YouTube to get you started.

    Your Spotify

    Shame there isn’t a “your deezer” that sounds really cool. Anyways user facing service LXCs (eg. Jellyfin) have Tailscale installed. Here’s my services by box:

    NAS: Ugreen DXP4800 pro

    -Proxmox
    -Pihole
    -NginxProxyManager
    -Homarr
    -Audiobookshelf
    -Jellyfin
    -Seerr
    -Immich
    -Syncthing
    -Searxing
    -Paperless
    -Vaultwarden
    -Mealie
    -Joplin
    -Docker host #1(Romm, LibroFM downloader, audiobookshelf/hardcover integration)
    -Docker host #2 (*arrs)

    Local back up: Beelink eq12 (I think, anyways an Intel N100 thing.

    -Proxmoxx
    -Redundant pihole
    -Redundant NginxProxyManager
    -Syncthing
    -Immich machine learning

    Satalites, usually a RPi3. These act as a relay in users' houses so nothing touches the open web.

    -DietPi
    -Tailscale
    -Pihole
    -NginxProxyManager
    -One poor soul has syncthing and a couple of drives for a remote backup.

    I have a spare no name n100 box that I would like to turn into a network box one day, then I can manage my Airvpn and Tailscale access through that. But for now the ISP router is fine, I guess.









  • Sum total of my hardware:

    Ugreen dxp 4800, the Pentium one. 32gb ram. My main box: jellyfin, arrs, immich, pihole, nginx, etc… It can’t go down. I don’t think I want an LLM here.

    Beelink n100 16gb ram. Local back up, redundant pihole, immich machine learning… Generally under utilised, I’d like to move some services around, does proxmox have an auto balancer?!

    Spare no name n100. 8, or 16gb, I can’t remember. Abandoned box, It’s what I would put the LLM on, I did have it reserved for a remote back up.

    I think it would need a ram upgrade, see corporate AI pricing me out of personal computing. Currently Amazon has a Crucial 32gb ddr5 sodimm module for £280. Which is too high a price for what I’d use it for.

    Oh, and I have an abandoned gaming rig with a gtx970, and some rPi0/3s

    I’ve put Ollama on an n100 before. It obviously ate all of that box and made everything on it chug, and it was too slow for human use. But if it’s just generating logs, and resetting containers then I wouldn’t mind how slow it is.
