It’s been a while, let’s go! Any major fuckups lately or smooth sailing?

I had to change the local DNS setup yesterday. I finally installed my wife Linux Mint and wanted to set her up for Vaultwarden real quick which became an hour long debug session since apparently CNAME entries for hostnames don’t work as I thought. Never came up the recent year as all my machines took it, but resolved refused to and so I eventually deleted the entries in the Pihole and created them as A records pointing to the VM with the reverse proxy, hoping I won’t need to change the IP anytime soon. It’s always DNS!

In other news I think I moved all my local dockered services to forgejo+komodo now and applying updates by merging renovate MRs still feels super smooth. I just updated my calibre web automated with a single click. Only exception is home assistant where I have yet to find a good split in what to throw in a docker volume and what to check in git and bindmount.

    It’s been fairly smooth lately, knock on wood!

    My Valheim server that is set up for friends and family had some issues, but nothing in the logs so I assume it was a weird network issue that solved itself.

    I also battled some problems with the Jellyfin temp/transcode folder ballooning in size, causing the whole server to crash as I hadn’t dedicated enough space to the container. Considered making a script to clear the folder at even intervals, but it would cock up streaming if the missus was watching while the purge happened.
    Ended up just giving it 100 GB and let the daily clear be enough.
    It ended up being the missus’ tablet suddenly requesting transcode of everything but H264, so I’m quietly hinting that she is due an upgrade anyways…

    Next project planned: Caddy (I’ve been saying that for 6 months…)

      Isnt there a schedules task to clean the transcode dir?
      If I remember correctly that it exists, might be worth to increase the frequency insted

        You are right, there is a checkbox, but no way to adjust the interval AFAIK.
        It seems to be a daily occurrence, which is fine when I just adjusted the container size.

        I’m going to be more weary of buying devices without H265/AV1 in the future, which is what I grab mostly. That should remove the need for transcoding completely anyways.
