    I’ve got a virtualized set up to.

    Its pretty unbothered being virtualized so long as the disks are passed through. In my set up, I have the SAS board passed through and its using that.

    My reasoning is that I wanted a lot of disks space, but I couldn’t get that without just a big case in general, so I use the extra space to store GPUs for AI and encoding stuff

Lemmy/Piefed instance as Blog forum?

English

I have a Hugo blog I’m setting up to work on my own forgejo server flow instead of through Github Pages.

I hate how pictures work on Hugo so I was going to just host them on a separate thing and embed the images that way.

Now I’m over thinking it and considering to just run a Lemmy instance, post the markdown for the blog posts there along with the images. Then I have an image host and a place to let people complain about my shotty writing in one go.

Plus there’s federation visibility as well.

So short questions

  1. This a good idea?

  2. Are there better options?

  3. is it easy enough to set up a single user Lemmy/Piefed instance?

  4. Lemmy or Piefed? Which is easier to host

      Yeah!

      So i am running these three computers in a set up that let’s me manage virtual machines on them from a website with Proxmox.

      I want to play with a tool that let’s me run Docker Containers. Containers being a way to host services like websites and web apps without having to make a Virtual machine for each app.

      This has a lot of advantages but I’m trying to use the High Availability feature when you run these on a cluster of computers.

      My problem is that I know I can use the Built In container software in the already clustered Proxmox computers called LXC Linux Containers. However, I want to use a container software called Kubernetes but I would have to build Virtual machines on my servers and then cluster those virtual machines.

      Its a little confusing because I have three physical computers clustered together and I’m trying to then build three virtual computers on them and cluster those. Its an odd thing to do and that’s the problem.

    Best Practice Ideas

    a mini server rack with 4 raspberry pis a to link switch and three thinkcentre mini PCs

    So I have rebuilt my Production rack with very little in terms of an actual software plan.

    I host mostly docker contained services (Forgejo, Ghost Blog, OpenWebUI, Outline) and I was previously hosting each one in their own Ubuntu Server VM on Proxmox thus defeating the purpose.

    So I was going to run a VM on each of these Thinkcentres that worked as a Kubernetes Cluster and then ran everything on that. But that also feels silly since these PCs are already Clustered through Proxmox 9.

    I was thinking about using LXC but part of the point of the Kubernetes cluster was to learn a new skill that might be useful in my career and I don’t know how this will work with Cloudflared Tunnels which is my preferred means of exposing services to the internet.

    I’m willing to take a class or follow a whole bunch of “how-to” videos, but I’m a little frazzled on my options. Any suggestions are welcome.

      New to Kubernetes and Pi clusters

      startrek.website English

      Okay Kubernetes people. I am about to build my first cluster with 4 Raspberry Pi 4B 4gb models powered over POE.

      I was going to host just some basic stuff on it (forgejo, a couple Ghost Blogs) and try hosting a Mastodon instance.

      The documentation mentioned that I should not use the SD cards for database stuff. So I was going to get some super short thumb drives.

      What is everyone else’s set up look like with raspberry pis? And how important is matching hardware?

      I’m sure I’ll learn more from reading the documents but this is my concern right now.

      (I was also required to upload a photo so have my Latitude D630)

        Simple Blog options?

        English

        Anyone have any recommendations for Blog software?

        I was considering for a while just using a mastodon instance as my blog because I just kinda wanna sign in and upload my papers that I’ve written. I was pretty close with Hugo. I’d rather not have to build the site everytime I upload and I want to self host and not use Github actions. I think I still could do it since I like using Cloudflared tunnels.

        What is all out there?
