I tried out Pi-hole many years ago, found it a bit too dumbed down and limited for my taste. I’ve been running Technitium for 5-ish years in my homelab, it’s been rock solid and very pleasant work with. I’ve even deployed it at work for a few projects as well. Been waiting for the clustering feature for a while now, super stoked to see this release.
I’d recommend ZFS for most home server/NAS scenarios. Gives you everything you need, and nothing you don’t.
Stuff like Ceph is just as hungry as it is powerful. The performance sweet spot for Ceph barely begins at 5 dedicated nodes (with at least a dozen drives each, ideally). I could never recommend it for home use unless you want to run it in a lab for the sake of learning.
Source: I’ve designed/built/deployed several 1PB+ Ceph clusters over the last ~5yrs.
Yeah they’re fine. TechMikeNY usually has better deals though, at least in my experience. Have bought from them several times both for work and homelab, no complaints.
Pretty sure you could run Pulp in pull-through mode and add your local Forgejo/whatever registry as a remote, which would at least give you a unified “pull” URL. Then just use Forgejo actions to handle the actual build/publish for your local images whenever you push to main (or tag a release, or whatever).
Pulp might actually be able to handle both on its own, I haven’t ever tried though.
I’d recommend setting your sights on the 3-2-1 rule. 3 copies of your data, 2 different mediums, 1 off-site. Hetzner Storage Box is a good cheap offsite option.
Yeah serverpartdeals is legit. Between work and home, I think I’ve tested & deployed 150+ drives from them over the last 3yrs. No duds, no failures, no complaints. Great customer service on the corp side for big orders, too. 10/10 would recommend.
Move over, bud. That’s my hill to die on, too.
I’d recommend using OpenTofu (Terraform) for initial provisioning of VMs and then use Ansible for post-provisioning config & management. That way you’re letting both tools play to their strengths.

Did you mean Netbox?
Well, yeah, thats why I’m saying if the action isn’t available directly from Forgejo, just write out the full action URL like the example in my last comment and pull it directly from GitHub. Most/all of the actions you’re pulling from Forgejo are originally forked from GitHub anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
With both Gitea and Forgejo, sometimes you need to hardcode the action URL, like:
https://github.com/actions/setup-java@v4
Does docker, pypi, apt, ansible galaxy, etc. I use it at work as part of our undercloud for OpenStack. It’s the go-to for StackHPC, too.
That’s a fair take. The pricing model has changed dramatically since I last looked at it, but at the same time, the dev has obviously put a lot of thought into these changes, so I find it difficult to fault him. He’s gotta make a living somehow.
In general, if someone has more than one Proxmox node to manage, chances are they’ve got some type of homelab, which isn’t exactly the cheapest hobby out there to begin with. If XPipe enhances their experience, I’d say that’s worth a few bucks. If not, they can always git gud in the terminal and do the legwork themselves, but time = $, so…
It’s a free tool that is relevant to a lot of users in both of those communities, and because of the support from those communities, the author was able to pivot to working on xPipe full-time. That’s no small feat for a solo dev, and I for one appreciate seeing these updates.
If you decided to devote all your time and energy to a project that was supposed to pay your bills, would you just sit and twiddle your thumbs thinking “if you build it, they will come”? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not sure if it’d fit your use case 100%, but this has been a nice middle ground solution for LE certs in my lab: https://www.certwarden.com/
My preferred way of solving this is to run a PowerDNS cluster with DNSDist and keepalived. You get all the redundancy via a single (V)IP.
Technitium is probably more user friendly for greenhorns, though… and offers DHCP too. Beats pihole by a mile.
For sure! If you do end up taking it for a spin, feel free to ping me with any questions.
I’d like to encourage you to take another look at Authentik, it sounds like their Proxy Provider is exactly what you’re looking for: https://docs.goauthentik.io/docs/providers/proxy/
Authentik can certainly get complex, but only if you want/need it to. It is by far the most user-friendly IDP solution I’ve found, especially for what it offers. Their docs also have step-by-step guides for how to integrate a lot of popular self-hosted apps.
Only takes a couple mins to spin up a test environment using their Docker compose file: https://docs.goauthentik.io/docs/installation/docker-compose
I used Mailcow for a while before switching to Stalwart out of curiosity. Stalwart was a bit easier to deploy and feels more polished than Mailcow, but they both get the job done.
