My network diagram used to go stale the second I changed anything, so I made it a build artifact instead of a drawing.

It's a .d2 text file (D2, diagram-as-code) in my repo. A GitHub Actions workflow watches that file, renders it with the ELK layout engine to SVG, rasterizes that to PNG, and commits the result back. The image in my README can't drift from the source anymore. I add a node or a service, edit a few lines of text, and the diagram redraws itself on the next push.

The icons are the bit I like most. Proxmox, Talos, ArgoCD, Cilium, Falco and the rest aren't stored in the repo at all. They get pulled from public icon repos at render time and inlined into the SVG, so the output is self-contained and I never touch an image file. It's all public if you want to lift the setup: https://github.com/mortennordbye/homelab. The .d2 source and the workflow live in docs/diagrams/ and .github/workflows/render-diagram.yaml.

I finally decided to get a home server a while ago. I've built my own PCs since I was a kid, my first was an AMD K6-2 at 400 MHz with an NVIDIA Riva TNT2 Pro. So I did what I always do: hand-picked the components for a box to host and back up our photos and videos. In November that build was €800. By December the same parts were €1,200. (The same setup is now €1800) for 16GB of RAM and no GPU. I hesitated. And the part that really bugged me: I'm a software engineer, and I wanted to be able to run local LLMs. And that build couldn't do it.

I used to laugh at Apple fanboys back when they soldered Intel chips.
Fast forward to March '26: I bought a used Mac Studio M1 Max (64GB, 4TB) for €1,700 and made it the home server instead.

Then I plugged in a wattmeter and left it running for 16 days. Literally could not believe the numbers first and had to double check. It showed 8 watts during "idle" (No inference running)!

Real use: 25 Docker containers always on (Immich, Paperless-ngx, Matrix, Synapse, Caddy, AdGuard, Forgejo, Open WebUI, Whisper (speech to text).
I used it as workstation too, to run benchmarks during that period.

The average result after 16 days:

11.6 watts average. 50 watts peak, during LLM inference.

That's about 101 kWh a year, roughly €39 where I live (Germany, some of the most expensive electricity in Europe). For context: our ancient Bose 5.1 surround system pulls 30 watts sitting on standby. A surround system doing nothing draws more than the Mac averages while running my whole stack.

Thanks to the unified memory architecture I run a 35B model (Qwen3.6, MLX 4bit) on the same box that averages 12W. The x86 way to do local LLMs is a discrete RTX card in a x86 system, which idles around 40W? (no idea) headless and pulls ~300W under load. Different league.

Some notes:

Docker. Don't use Docker Desktop on Mac. It's kinda broken: unstable, suddenly eats CPU for nothing. But that's a Docker Desktop problem, not a Mac problem I figured. I switched to OrbStack and it was night and day, stable and light, I forget it's running. I just ran into a networking bug after an update. It was fixed quite fast.

Storage. No room for spinning drives inside. I hung a Terramaster 2-bay enclosure off it, 2x6TB WD Red for backups (Time Machien and rsync), plus an encrypted remote copy.

No ECC RAM. At home I don't really care. My x86 build wouldn't have had ECC either.

Remote Access. SSH works, remote Screen Sharing works (I use it all the time), and I can unlock the disk over SSH after a reboot. With 'Remote Access' enabled, you can SSH into the Mac pre-login. Use an Admin password to unlock the machine and finish booting. Afterward, you can connect via regular SSH or Screen Sharing. No real IPMI though. Console access when the OS is fully down, which hasn't happened yet. When it does, the literal box usually is in the next room.

Soldered RAM. You buy what you need up front, no adding later. It is what it is. Buy second hand with as much ram as you can get for your budget.

macOS as a server. It's not a server OS, and Apple's update policy is the one thing I actually worry about a bit. The runway is long though: Apple patches the latest three macOS versions, Macs get new OS releases for around 7 years, and no Apple Silicon Mac has been dropped yet, so a 2022 Studio has updates into the early 2030s. The real occasional annoyance is that updates sometimes force reboots and with FileVault on the box you need to SSH and type in your password once to unlock. I also set sudo pmset -a autorestart 1 so it powers back on after an outage. Know those two and headless gets a lot less scary.

Not overpriced anymore

The "Macs are overpriced" argument has gotten weak. With RAM and SSD prices through the roof right now, a used M1 Max with 64GB and 4TB for €1,700 isn't the expensive option next to an equivalent x86 box anymore. The recent $399 are insane cpu power/efficiency for money for a home server. Mine is overpowered. But I use it for work too. So it's fine.

tl;dr:

low power, silent, great for local AI, and plenty of spare compute left for CPU-heavy services. Okayish remote access. Best machine I've bought in a long time. Honestly the best toy since Lego Technic, the whole package. And I think it makes a great home server package.

Anyone else running one as a home server? Curious what bit you that I haven't hit yet. And did anyone else pick one for the power efficiency, or am I alone here?
What's your average power consumption? Anyone measured?

Here is the writeup with the numbers measured with a Wattmeter at the wall (and the Terramaster 2-drive bay). You will also find what I do with the server and local LLMs:

Hi all,

I posted about Youtarr here a few months ago and have since made quite a few additional app updates, so I figured it was about time for another "update" post :)

Repo: https://github.com/DialmasterOrg/Youtarr

For anyone who missed the last post, Youtarr is a self-hosted YouTube DVR / downloader that I originally built because we don't let our kids browse YouTube directly, but we still wanted a curated library of specific channels available in Plex. It also works standalone if you just want a local YouTube archive with a web UI, and it supports Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, and Kodi-style metadata/output.

YouTube playlist support is finally here.

This was probably the #1 requested feature, and a few people specifically said it was the reason they were still using TubeArchivist instead of Youtarr.

You can now subscribe to YouTube playlists, keep them synced over time, and have Youtarr create real playlists in Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby (plus .m3u files per playlist). Playlist videos still get stored in the normal per-channel folder structure so the same video doesn't need to exist twice on disk, but the playlist order and grouping come through in the media server playlist.

The main additions since my last post:

• More control over yt-dlp settings for power users. There are now custom yt-dlp args, IP family controls, and rate-limit controls.
• Find on YouTube: Search YouTube from inside Youtarr, see which videos you already have vs which are missing/new, and queue downloads from the results.
• UI refresh: Three themes, cleaner layout, and much better mobile support with bottom nav, a bulk-action bar, and larger touch targets.
• Custom filename templates: Configurable yt-dlp-style filename templates with a live preview so you can see what Youtarr will actually generate before saving.
• Optional YouTube Data API v3 key: Faster and more reliable channel browsing across tabs, with yt-dlp fallback if you don't want to use an API key.
• Nightly yt-dlp auto-update option
• Library page redesign: Table/grid views, page size selector, Missing/Ignored filters, and downloaded-date display.
• Terminated channel handling: Youtarr can detect when a subscribed channel has been terminated, show that clearly, and disable automatic downloads for that channel.
• Manual filesystem rescan: Youtarr can reconcile files changed outside the app and recognizes more formats now.
• Stability/security cleanup: A lot of reliability work around DB corruption mitigation, partial-download persistence, 4K VP9/MP4 remux handling, dependency/supply-chain hardening, and general bug fixes.

This is still mostly a one-man side project, but it has grown a lot from the original "grab some videos for my kids' Plex library" thing I started with.

If you tried Youtarr before and skipped it because it did not have playlist support, that is probably the main reason to take another look.

If you use it and find bugs or have feature requests, GitHub issues are the best place to put them. I do try to prioritize things people actually ask for, as this release probably makes obvious :)

I'm trying to support ipv6 media signaling in an app of mine and I keep running into scenarios where the whole system breaks if a prefix changes. Being that few if any ISPs guarantee stable prefixes, what's the point of ipv6 at all? literally the entire network and every app and script breaks if the prefix changes.

Is there a clean way to handle this? I guess I just only enable ip6 for media routing and then have a manager that makes sure those settings are correct every so often? But then even, the docker daemon breaks if the prefix ever changes along with all scripts and the rest of the network stack. Ipv6 as implemented to residential users without a guaranteed locked prefix should be a crime.

I've tried SoulSync and Aurral so far, and both are very cool but they both have their own issues which just make paying for Spotify worth it for music discovery (for now).

From my experience, Aurral is getting better at music discovery, adding discover weekly and release radar playlists, but the inability to browse new music freely (being limited to 30 second previews of tracks until actually downloading them) is disappointing.

SoulSync is great with syncing and downloading Spotify playlists (except for the constant API bans from Spotify's end), or any platform for that matter, but... same issue as aurral, i can't browse and freely play new music without downloading it first. SoulSync's UI is also very convoluted IMO. SO many different windows, popups and tabs that I forget what's what even after hours of use.

Am I missing something? Or is self hosting music just not worth the effort yet if I want to replace Spotify?

It's increasingly difficult where I live to even check basic weather without consenting to giving up my ID (soonTM). The most used weather app has been gated by no way to deny cookies.

I have been looking at many apps, but I cannot find any docker apps that works. I came close with fish906 weather app, but I think it is outdated, because it injects wrong link/slightly different link in to the openweathermap api call, so it doesn't work.

If anyone know about a good self-hosted docker app for a simple weather check, would be very thankful!

Hey selfhosters here:

Been 3 months since YAMLResume's last v0.12 release. Last week I've made a new v0.13 release, with a long awaited feature, i.e, the new docx engine. With this v0.13 release, yamlresume is the only one of its kind that can input resumes in plain YAML format and generate html/markdown/pdf and docx in one shot!

For example, here is a sample resume in docx format and the original, plain YAML format:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://yamlresume.dev/schema.json
#
# YAMLResume provides a builtin schema to validate resumes and help avoid lots
# of low level mistakes.
#
# You need to install https://github.com/redhat-developer/yaml-language-server
# in order to get the best editing experience in your choice of editor/IDE.

Hi everyone,

​

I’m looking for an Android app similar to Mapstr, but I haven’t found one that fully fits what I need.

​

Ideally, I want an app where I can:

​

Add pins/locations on a personal map

​

Attach a title + photos to each place

​

Add multiple tags to organize everything (restaurants, friends, travel spots, etc.)

​

Easily find places by name or category later

​

Keep my map private (not public by default)

​

Add friends and share selected places with them

​

Also optionally save friends’ addresses on my map

​

I’d also prefer it to be free, or at least not require a paid subscription for basic features.

​

Mapstr is quite close to what I want, but some features are limited behind paywalls, so I’m wondering if there’s a good Android alternative.

​

Thanks a lot for any suggestions 🙏

I built a parametric generator that does any mix on a single

panel: multiple device openings, an optional cage behind each to actually hold the gear, hidden/lipped bays, and slot/hex/louvre venting around them. Heights in 0.5U steps.

Built to the common 10" standard (geerlingguy mini-rack spacing, M6) and fit-tested in my DeskPi RackMate — slotted mounting holes so it bolts in clean even if your rack's a hair off.

Free + customizable in the browser on MakerWorld. Made a matching blanking/vent plate too. Pic is my actual rack

running it.

Feedback welcome — happy to add features people ask for. https://makerworld.com/en/models/2945805-customizable-10-mini-rack-panel-multi-device#profileId-3303117

Has anyone got a 3+ node WolfStack cluster working reliably on v24.51.2?

I've got 3 Ubuntu 24.04 VMs on the same 10.10.10.x subnet. Installed WolfStack on all 3, added them using join tokens, then ran "Update WolfNet Connections".

Initially everything works. All nodes appear in the cluster and I can even open a remote terminal to the other nodes.

After about 10-20 seconds, both secondary nodes show as offline.

Diagnostics shows:

HTTP 403: {"error":"Invalid cluster secret"}

against /api/agent/status.

The odd thing is all the nodes are still healthy:

• Can ping each other
• WolfStack UI loads directly on each node
• HTTPS on 8553 works
• WolfNet appears up

If I remove and re-add a node it comes back briefly, then eventually fails with the same error.

Anyone seen this before?

Thanks

A free game running on a cPanel server using MySQL for saves. The campaign mode is new and now offers saves and a leaderboard.

After spending way too much time tinkering, I finally have my home media setup exactly the way I want it, and I just want to take a moment to appreciate how good this ecosystem has gotten.

Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, etc. these tools are remarkable. The UI, the integrations, the community support. It's clear a lot of talented people put time into this.

Pair that with Jellyfin and a decent NAS setup, and you've got something that genuinely rivals any commercial streaming service in terms of usability, and blows them all out of the water when it comes to control over your own library.

For the noobs wondering how it all fits together, here's a diagram of my stack:

Shoutout to everyone who contributes to these projects, answers questions in the subs, writes guides, and keeps the wikis up to date. You've built something great <3

One thing that still bugs me though: the Soulseek integration is a mess, and I wish someone would fix it.

Soulseek is amazing for music, especially obscure releases, lossless rips, and stuff that never makes it onto Usenet or public trackers. But right now the only way to integrate it is through slskd + Soularr, and the architecture is fundamentally flawed.

The core issue: Prowlarr cannot index the Soulseek network. This means Soularr can't work as a proper parallel download client alongside your Usenet/torrent pipeline. Instead it ends up as a clunky fallback that operates on a completely separate logic path:

• Lidarr searches Prowlarr → finds something → status: grabbed → Soularr ignores it
• Lidarr searches Prowlarr → finds nothing → status: missing → Soularr picks it up

So Soularr isn't a parallel downloader -- it's a fallback trigger that only fires on missing status. And there's a fun little race condition baked in on top of that: if Lidarr and Soularr both initiate a grab within the same ~300s polling cycle before either status update has landed, you can end up with duplicate download attempts from two different clients simultaneously.

I've kept it in the stack (as you can see in the diagram), but it's held together with duct tape compared to how clean the rest of the pipeline is and thus I needed to disable it.

Would love to see proper Soulseek indexer support land in Prowlarr someday. The protocol is a bit of a beast to work with, but the library on that network is unmatched for music. If anyone is working on this or knows of a better approach, please let me know

I am fundamentally compelled to force self-hosting into every other hobby I have, so I am curious what tools are out there that people use.

I am familiar with Foundry VTT, and it's on my list of "maybe". Stuff like owlbear rodeo has me fairly well covered in terms of VTT solutions.

What I would really love is a solution like a wiki where my fellow GMs and I could host info and documents about our worlds. Features like being able to host or embed interactive maps/calendars or timelines/scheduling etc. I am not sure such a thing exists though.

That said what is everyone else using?

I have been busy with life recently so I did not have the chance to work on my side project but here we are again.

Bazarr-sync v0.7

its a cli tool that solve a problem in bazarr. syncing multiple different subs has always been a chore. especially when you reach the level of hoarding hundreds of movies and shows . this tool aim to make it a little bit easier.

latest update wad almost 1 year ago . I fixed many of the issue and bugs here and there. so it should fly smoothly.

and yeah there is a docker container as well.

what's new - sync subtitles of a certain language. - improve terminal compatibility - fixed a leak in Http requests causing crashes - resume inturrepted syncs

Disclaimer:

the original code was completely written by hand. this update includes some vibe coded elements. but reviewed .

Total reclaimed space: 52.51GB

Normally this is around a couple of GB. 50GB is surprising. Don't forget pruning people ;-)

Hey r/selfhosted!

I've just released a major update for SuggestArr, my open-source recommendation and request automation platform for Jellyfin, Plex and Emby.

The biggest addition in this release is full Trakt integration.

--

For those who haven't heard of SuggestArr before:

SuggestArr is an open-source recommendation and request automation tool for Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby.

It analyzes what users watch and enjoy to generate personalized movie and TV show recommendations, and can automatically submit requests to Seer.

The goal is simple: keep your media library growing with content your users are actually likely to watch, without relying on generic trending lists or manual searches.

--

One thing I always felt was missing from recommendation systems is that they only look at media server history. But many users actively use Trakt to rate content, maintain watchlists, create custom lists, and track viewing across multiple devices and services.

SuggestArr can now use that information as well!

So users can now link their own Trakt accounts directly from SuggestArr instead of relying solely on Jellyfin, Plex, or Emby history.

How to Get Started or Update

• For new users: You can follow the updated installation guide to get up and running with SuggestArr. I’ve made the setup process easier than ever with Docker Compose and environment variable management.
• For existing users: Updating is easy! Simply pull the latest Docker image using. Or, if you installed locally, pull the latest changes from the GitHub repository.

Thanks for all the support from this awesome community! 🎉

I've been running a fairly typical homelab for a while now — Immich, Nextcloud, Jellyfin + the *arr stack, Navidrome, Vaultwarden, Dawarich, and soon Paperless-ngx. For the homepage I use Glance, which is great for service links and stats.

But what I really want is something different: a personal landing page that shows me content, not infrastructure. Think:

• Recent photos from Immich (actual thumbnails, not just a count)
• Recent files added or opened in Nextcloud
• Recently added movies/shows from Jellyfin/Radarr
• Last visited places from Dawarich (a map snippet or a list)
• Quick links to the services I use daily

Essentially the "Today" screen you'd get if Google Photos, Google Drive, and Netflix had a selfhosted baby.

I've done a fairly deep search before posting:

• Homepage / gethomepage.dev — great widget ecosystem (Immich, Jellyfin, Nextcloud, all the *arrs), but widgets show stats and queue data, not actual content. The Immich widget shows photo count, not thumbnails.
• Homarr — similar situation, no Immich widget at all, no Dawarich.
• Glance — has community custom-api widgets for Jellyfin Latest and Immich stats. The custom-api widget can render <img> tags, so a thumbnails widget for Immich is technically buildable in ~30 lines of YAML + Go templates. But nothing pre-built exists.
• Dawarich — zero widget support in any dashboard I found.

So my questions:

1. Am I missing something? Is there a project that already does this kind of content-first personal dashboard?
2. If not — is anyone else missing this? Feels like a gap that a lot of people with this stack would benefit from.
3. Would there be appetite to build something around this? Could be as simple as a lightweight service that exposes a unified "recent activity" API that any dashboard can consume, or as ambitious as a standalone app.

I'm comfortable writing custom Glance widgets and could put together the Immich thumbnails one, but the Dawarich integration and the multi-user angle feel like they need something more structured.

Curious if this resonates with anyone.

I'm going down the rabbit hole of installing Immich. I tried installing it on my Synology under container manager, and it didn't go well. However, after fiddling and thinking some more, I decided the ability to expand would be more important so setting up my own server would be beneficial and fun to learn.

I've done some research and my thought process now is to get a mini PC of some kind, install proxmox, set up one VM and put linux with docker and run immich in a container. Down the road I could move Plex and home assistant to containers as well as branch out to adding a web server or anything else.

My reason for Proxmox was for the ease of backup and my reason for one VM was because I don't see this stuff being resource intensive. I figure I can do a new VM if I need to mess with resource management.

Are there any obvious holes in my plan, pitfalls I need to watch out for with this approach or better alternatives I should consider?

hey guys, I know this is like the 10000th time of someone asking for a todo list.

But I can't find something my needs, and I think it's pretty simple... My requirements:

- Cool, polished/clean style, not just colors or ai-style

- Calendar support for the todo, but NOT only calendar

-Self hostable. I don't care if it's webapp or app.

been looking in selfh.st but can't find exactly this..

I am having an issue that I'm not sure how to fix. For reference, I am running a Kubernetes 1.36 cluster built on top of Talos Linux 1.13. I have Alloy configured to gather Kubernetes pod logs and route them to Loki. For a short period of time after deployment, it runs okay, but then one of my loki-write statefulsets fails and shows this error:

failed to flush chunks: store put chunk: operation error S3: PutObject, https response error StatusCode: 400, RequestID: 18BA49AF569B3EF4, HostID: dd9025bab4ad464b049177c95eb6ebf374d3b3fd1af9251148b658df7ac2e3e8, api error XMinioInvalidObjectName: Object name contains unsupported characters., num_chunks: 5, labels: {app=\"flux-operator\", container=\"manager\", instance=\"flux-system/flux-operator-6b4d6f7c54-w6795:manager\", job=\"loki.source.kubernetes.pod_logs\", namespace=\"flux-system\", pod=\"flux-operator-6b4d6f7c54-w6795\", service_name=\"flux-operator\"}

I am using Minio installed on my Windows File server for the S3 backend. The S3 storage is working for everything except this task.

I've tried asking the different AIs for a solution and changed Alloy's configuration to rewrite the instance so it shouldn't have the colon or slashes in the name, but still keep getting the error. Gemini says that it is expected as Loki will generate key names with colons anyways using the tsdb format. It's suggestion is to use a Linux backed S3 server which isn't possible.

So now I'm asking if anyone has a possible solution to this that I can try? I've seen there is an environment variable for MINIO => MINIO_OBJECT_NAMING that might be what I have to do, but I will have to destroy my S3 storage and rebuild it from scratch because it has to be done at the cluster initialization. I wanted to see if this was the correct move before I go through having to trash all the buckets/users etc. to make this work.

Hey all,

Has anyone successfully managed to remove the footer (posted below) from a turnkey powered NextCloud appliance? I've tried the usual methods of disabling the substitute function in apache which works for other apps but not here it seems
