Lenovo M90S RAM speed issues.
I have recently upgraded my homeserver to Lenovo M90S Gen4 SFF with i5-13600.It has a Q670 chipset. I ordered it with 16 GB of RAM and it came with a Samsung DDR5 UDIMM module with an advertised speed if 5600MT.In the bios hardware summary I could see this module working at 4400MT(assuming its chipset limit) Then I got a 64GB DDR5 kit of Patriot viper of advertised speed of 5600 MT. After installing them, I am only getting 2000MT speed in the BIOS. Unfortunately, there are no option to control the RAM configuration in the BIOS of Lenovo M90S. Is there a way by which I get at least 4400MTs from all 80GB RAM? If not what is the better tradeoff? 64GB at 4400MT or 80GB at 2000MT?
I will be using this machine as Proxmox node.

Cloud Linux VPS - Extending Docker from the Cloud home lab (Via VPN)
I have had a NAS running docker with various containers, but I just purchased a very cheep ubuntu running docker (managed via portainer) VPS over the cloud. My NAS CPU/RAM is fairly limited and I would like to offload some resources to this cloud instance. Is there any good documentation on establishing a VPN for local traffic to my network? I have Wireguard running on my Unifi UDM and I am thinking this is the first step for linking the virutal cloud server. Thanks!

Seeking Alternatives to ZeroTier for iOS-to-Home Server Connection without public IP
Hello, beautiful people of this community! As a newcomer, I'm eager to learn from your experiences. I'm facing a challenge in accessing my home server from my iOS device and am looking for alternative solutions or different approaches:
Internet Constraints: I'm using Fastweb in Italy, which unfortunately does not provide a public IP.
Server Setup: My home server is an old laptop running Ubuntu Server 23.10.
Music Management: Jellyfin as docker is my go-to for managing my music collection.
Current VPN Solution: I've implemented ZeroTier on the server and ZeroTier One on my iPhone.
# The Challenge
While the current setup with ZeroTier does function, it's not without its issues. Every time I switch from WiFi to 4G/LTE, I have to manually open ZeroTier One, disconnect, and reconnect. This is a repetitive and often frustrating process.
Moreover, without this manual reconnection, no client seems capable of connecting to the server, despite the VPN icon being displayed on my phone's top bar. Both Finamp and Substreamer have failed in this aspect.
Are there any alternative solutions to ZeroTier that might work better with my setup? Or perhaps a different approach to this problem that I haven't considered? I would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you can provide!

What NVR Do You Run?
Looking to change up my blue iris install to something more free. I’m going to be recording my house, my mother’s house and my in laws house all using tailscale. I planned on using frigate, even bought a Coral TPU for the human detection and a better motion detection. (At least I think it makes it better?) But not sure if this changed, I saw that frigate and TOU doesn’t do well in a VM (proxmox for me).
So two things:
1. Curious what you run/suggest
2. If you run frigate on a vm with a coral, how did pass through work?
Total between all houses, I’ll have 14 cameras recording off the bat, might add a few more over the years. I also have a gpu to handle the encoding and plenty of storage. Their upload speeds are ok too and my download speeds can handle it.
Thanks!

Benefits of Proxmox VE vs. libvirt/KVM?
Are there any benefits of running Proxmox and virtualizing everything, vs having a host OS and running Docker and libvirt to host VMs for services that need it? I know that Proxmox does some storage management etc, but it seems like I could get everything it does with a well-managed host OS + ZFS/btrfs and using virtualization tools

The desire to replace Google Calendar and Contacts
Hello self-hosted world!
Step by step, I'm going into the beautiful world of self-hosting. With Davx9 and agendav, there is beautiful software available for self-hosting and syncing dav-files. Time to start migrating away from Google Calendar and Google Contacts.
However, I'm getting stuck at finding a replacement for the web app. You see, I hate phones (nothing personal, and it'd be much better if my phone had a full mechanical keyboard built-in but physics won't allow it), so I type all my stuff on the computer using contacts.google.com and calendar.google.com \-> it's synched to my phone and I can check it there (plus, notifications!). So in order to get rid of Google, I'd need to have a web app which does that for me, ideally with a shiny Docker image making the setup painless.
I've looked into Nextcloud (which I use), but it's absolute bloat, slow and not particularly user friendly. However, I can't seem to find many options. I can't be alone with this crave for a fast web frontend for cal and contacts.
What are my fellow selfhosting enthousiasts using?
Cheers!

Is there something I can use to fetch and serve YouTube videos locally?
I am keeping my children away from Youtube, but there are plenty of educational videos that I would like to make available for them to view at their leisure. I would like something that works more or less like this:
1. I add a youtube video url/playlist url/channel url
2. It downloads the videos, possibly with metadata, and stores them locally.
3. It serves them through a nice web interface.
4. (optional) it syncs the channel content and keeps it up to date.
Is there anything similar out there?

The intersection between selfhosted and nosurf
Hello everyone,
One thing I'm sure is in common between self-hosters and people over at r/nosurf is our aversion to the popular big services like Google, Facebook...
I started self-hosting a few years ago because I was sick of depending on big corps, but over time I started getting sick of anything related to technology (even though I'm a dev lol). Recently I've been experiencing downtime on my server and I still haven't figured out the cause, and it's kinda making me feel that I am a slave to my setup, the same way I was a slave to the big corps.
I was wondering if any of you felt something similar, and how would you design a self-hosted setup that's as low-maintenance as possible (I'm already using a VPS instead of a home server to reduce maintenance).

🚀 Introducing Reactive Resume v4, a free and open-source resume builder!
Hey r/selfhosted, get ready to craft your story like never before!
I’m thrilled to announce that Reactive Resume has just launched its latest version, and it's a game-changer in the resume-building space (at least, I’d like to think so).
Here’s a glimpse of some of the new features:
- A sleek, polished user interface that makes navigation a breeze.
- Faster PDF generation to get your resume out there quicker.
- Integration with OpenAI for smarter assistance.
- Brand new, highly customisable templates to fit your unique style.
- Comprehensive documentation with user-friendly guides.
- Enhanced security with two-factor authentication.
- Available in multiple languages, contributed by the community.
- Quality of life features such as locking resumes, adding personal notes to resumes, tracking views and downloads on your public resume etc.
The best part? It’s 100% free, forever! No ads, no user tracking, just pure resume-building bliss. Plus, for the tech-savvy, it’s also open-source on GitHub and self-hostable through Docker, something special just for this community.
Ready to give it a spin?
You can visit the website on https://rxresu.me, sure. But you're on r/selfhosted, so you're probably more interested in the "how to host it myself" part of the launch. The link to the repository is right here: https://github.com/AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume/
Self-hosting Reactive Resume is super simple, compared to the nightmare it was in earlier versions having to ensure multiple services are communicating alright. You can check the GitHub repo (under tools/compose for many docker compose examples of how the project could be set up).
I'm excited to see how you make the most of it!

What Is Up With ClearOS? What Are Your pfSense alternatives?
If I search for ClearOS I find mostly 2+ year old threads. Many older. Many talking about how it has been defunct for years... however if I just visit the site it seems to be still in development and up to date. It also seems like something selfhosted users would like... however I couldn't find any recent discussions on it to see if its garbage or not.
I plan on installing it tomorrow to check it out. I've been trying to migrate away from pfSense but I've been having a hell of a time finding a viable alternative and came across some very old ClearOS threads which is how it got on my radar.
I've been trying to get an OpnSense install up and running but I just can't get it working in the most basic installation. My original plan was just to migrate directly to OpnSense but I've pretty much given up on it.

Safely Self-Hosting a Minecraft server
My nephews really enjoy Minecraft and so for Christmas, I want to give them a server for us all to play on (of course, self-hosted). The issue is that I've only got a vague idea about how one can safely self-host it, any ideas are greatly appreciated.
The more safe way that I'd personally do something like this would be to VPN into my homelab (Wireguard + DuckDNS) and access the server that way. For practical reasons that's not going to fly... I'd like to connect to the game server from anywhere, with any account, and without a VPN. This will make it accessible to the kids.
When one adds a server in Minecraft, it seems like they specify a FQDN:Port (MySite.com:25565). I could punch port forwards in my firewall and call it a day, but this seems insecure. Going forward I'm not going to forward any ports without some layer of encryption or authentication on the other side (seems like the latest best practice).
Cloudflare Zero Trust sounded like the ideal solution, notably because it's free, but also that it has intrinsic protection against DoS attacks. This isn't self-hosted though, and to properly utilize this, I would need to purchase my own domain name (not opposed to that, just an extra cost).
How do you guys architect your services to be secure while also being broadly accessible on the Internet? I imagine it's a similar tale for self-hosting a website, just in this case it's a Minecraft server. Thanks much.

Secondary DNS-as-a-Service
Hello Selfhosted community!
I know not many folks actually host their own DNS, but for those that do: do you use any hosted secondary DNS servers? Meaning delegating slave servers.
What features would you be looking at in such a service?
Reason asking: I am looking to build a free service that would allow users to register their zone , choose geographic location and our servers will do the secondary part for it. Though limited on a free tier - say 1-3 zones (domains).
It will include a management panel.
Edit: Currently the Name Servers do support DNS over TLS/QUIC/HTTPS.

Orchestration software for very small server setup, like very very small one? (k8s, nomad, etc)
Hi,
I've written some microservices and am looking to deploy them. Since I am not very confident in cloud pricing (= too expensive right now), I am looking into ways of operating a very small server setup.
Lets say I have 5 services, one is the database, 3 should be run as jobs every minute, one service should be scaled based on load.
I am aware that basically described tasks that k8s or nomad would be very good at it. The issue with them is: While I am going to update the services, etc, I do not need a large cluster. I am very sure that I can start with one pod/node and maybe get a second one, if needed.
For this setup, k8s (or other flavors) is just overkill (learning and maintaining it). Nomad from hashicorp looks totally cool for that, but it is recommended to have 3 servers with crazy specs for each of them (doing quorum, leader follower, replication, etc.) Which is overkill when I plan to have 1 worker node in total :D
Nomad has `-dev` option running server and agent on the same node, but in production? I don't know. Nomads server also uses his ip and other things for identity. When they change, the server instance is basically dead and loses its data. That's why a quorum of 3 servers is recommended as a minimal prod setup.
Docker compose is not ideal, because I would like to update single containers without tearing everything down.
Also, cron for my periodic tasks is not part of docker or docker swarm except plugins, workarounds, or configuring a container running `cron` but then meddling with `flock`, etc.
​
I am aware that it actually does not sound like I need an orchestrator, but monitoring all the jobs and restarting a container manually sounds not optimal for me and maybe there is something out there, that helps me.
Since the tech community knows more than me, I would love to get some other opinions or point of views.
Thanks!

Automated self-hosted music setup?
Let me preface this by saying I have a somewhat working setup right now, but it's the automation that's lacking.
I use Navidome for hosting and am happy with how it works and performs, so switching that is out of the question.
Currently, Lidarr is used to organize my music. I haven't really found anything else as easy to use. I don't really have access to or ratio on trackers to grab the FLACs that I want. So for all intents and purposes, assume that Lidarr does NOT download. It also cannot re-tag (just rename) - because in case it did grab something, this would break torrent hashes.
What I'm looking for is an automatic or semi-automatic way to add new types of downloads into this setup. Think: SoulSeek, Bandcamp purchases, downloads via streaming services, ytl-dlp etc. The source doesn't matter. This stuff can (and probably should) get re-tagged and renamed by Lidarr. I want to keep this in the same library.
​
How do you guys have your music set up?
Do you see any way to have "external" sources managed by Lidarr, without splitting libraries?
Is there any cool, additional software I should know about?

What is the self hosted solution for Smart/cctv home cameras?
Hi all,
Currently I'm using couple of Xiaomi Home security camera 1080p 2i. Using their app on phone, I can manage the camera functions such as live feeds, two way voice communication, maneuvering positions - up down and rotate.
I want to have my own solution for these functions, is there any available open source self hosted project which can do the same? May be using own AWS or any other cloud account to run live feeds etc.
Also I have noticed when one camera is ON, I can run tv, laptop, phone on the wifi. However when I turn on the other camera which is if same model, my phone and laptop disconnects intermittently but not television.
I see they have same names but different Mac addresses, what could be a culprit?
Also is there any firmware I can flash on them and use them as is with my full control?
Thank you

Cloudflare DNS setup for ngrok HTTPS URL
I'm using ngrok to port forward my little Node Express web app to the internet,
and I have set up a static domain for it on ngrok (as only one is available for the free plan), let's say https://some-name.ngrok-free.app.
I have my own domain example.com registered and managed on Cloudflare, and I want to create a CNAME reroute from subdomain.example.com to the ngrok URL, so that when I go to subdomain.example.com I get the Express app.
The problem is that no matter what I do I get a too many redirects error.
I tried creating a CNAME record with and without Cloudflare proxy, same thing.
Any ideas? Is this even possible to pull off with ngrok? I'd like to think that it is because it's just a simple redirect from a domain I own to another website.
I'd like to add that I've managed to create an SRV record that does that exact same thing, but for my local Minecraft server that is port forwarded with ngrok through TCP, and I can connect to it using minecraft.example.com (for example).
Thanks in advance!

Setting up email server, need a good order of operations
I own a couple domain names through gandi. I do not have the ability to get a static IP from my ISP. My main goal is to get an email server up and running on docker which I can use with mail clients like thunderbird on various devices. (I understand the drawbacks of self hosting email, this is to learn and reduce cost.)
I'm not sure where to start though, do I use something like duckdns first to get my domain name hosted on my server, then do postfix or something? I think once I have a good order of operations I can handle it from there.
This may complicate things, the server in question is a desktop with docker running all my self hosted stuff. The desktop has mullvad on 24/7. Will this vpn interfere with anything I'm trying to do here? If so I will need to figure out a way to split tunnel.
