Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? (lemmy.nocturnal.garden)

With the recent discussions around replacing Spotify with selfhosted services and the possibilities to obtain the music itself, I've been finally setting up Navidrome. I had to do quite a bit of reorganization to do with my existing collection (beets helping a ton) but now it's in a neatly organized structure and I'm enjoying it everywhere. I get most of my stuff from Bandcamp but I have a big catalog from when I've still had a large physical collection.

I'm also still working on my docker quasi gitops stack. I've cleaned up my compose files and put the secrets in env files where I hadn't already, checked them into my new forgejo instance and (mostly) configured renovate. Komodo is about to get productive but I couldn't find the time yet. Also I need to figure out how to check in secrets in a secure way. I know some but I haven't tried those with Komodo yet. This close of my fully automated update-on-merge compose stacks!

I've also been doing these for quite a while and decided to sometimes post them in !selfhosting@slrpnk.net to possibly help moving a bit from the biggest Lemmy instance, even though this community as it is is perfectly fine as well as it seems.

What's going on on your servers? Anything you are trying to pursue at the moment?

Just ordered a used HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF (3.6GHz Intel Core i7-7700, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD) off EBay to replace my Apple Mac mini "Core i7" 2.3 (Late 2012/Server). Hoping to put 32GB of RAM in it, 1TB NVMe boot drive and maybe a 3.5” HDD for media instead of using an external drive. Might move to NixOS (I’d like to learn how to administer Nix even though it’s very complicated sometimes) and Podman, instead of using Proxmox and Docker Debian VMs and LXC containers.

Any advice and guidance appreciated!

I got two of those for 100$ USD for the purpose of hosting openwrt in proxmox LXC containers. One thing I noticed is they have no cooling. I put a 10 GBe mellanox card in it plus a very low end radeon gpu and it gets quite hot in there. My recommendation, instead of trying to embiggen it as much as possible, by putting 2 more sticks of ram and the biggest cpu, I would recommend just buying another. The performance boost per dollar isn't as much as the performance capacity of a second, third or 4th machine.

Thanks for the recommendation, I got this one for just over $100 after tax. Space is an issue for me, so more machines isn’t the best and I can always keep the Mac Mini chugging if needed. I’ll probably only do the HDD/SSD and RAM upgrade, but it’s definitely worth keeping in mind if I throw a new NIC or GPU in it. I am thinking of putting a Noctua fan on the CPU cooler to keep it quieter and cooler!
