Of course the USB drive for my Unraid server unexpectedly dies at 1am for a fun little disaster recovery and license key transfer shenanigans 🫩

Upload complete and all CPUs are back to normal.

I can now access my photos, from anywhere in the world, via my #tailscale connection and the #Immich app.

Network Attached Storage

Introduction In March 2026 I decided to set up my own home based NAS for storage of photos, documents, and other things I want to keep local copies of.

Saw this tip on Reddit and had to share. If you use #Unraid with the AppData backup plugin set the compression to "Yes, Multicore" and it will reduce the backup time significantly with the increase in CPU of course. Cut my backup time by over 50%.

Today I’m going to setup an #Unraid server at a friend. It is my old server, we’re modifying it a bit and then I will help him set it up.

I wil provide him with my templates for docker so it we keep the directory structure the same he will be up and running in no time.

I think my self-hosting rebellion has rubbed off.. 😉

This will be a fun day, I love doing this stuff. 🤓

I’m away with the family in Japan at the moment. We’ve been ending most days with an episode of Bluey or a movie on my iPad, from my Jellyfin instance.

Our neighborhood in Ireland had a blackout yesterday, which obviously took down my #unraid server, and I’ve lost access to my home server on tailscale 😢

The end of the road. Stay foolish.

Hab mir einen Sniper-Bot gebaut, um einen der „Always Free“ ARM-Server bei Oracle Frankfurt zu kapern (4 OCPUs, 24 GB RAM – dauerhaft kostenlos! 🎁). Manuell sind die Slots wegen des Hypes nie zu kriegen.

Der Plan:

1) Docker-Container auf dem #Unraid #Homelab beschießt die API. 🤖
2) Telegram-Alarm bei Erfolg. 📱
3) Ubuntu plätten & #NixOS draufbügeln. ❄️

Warten auf Beute... 🏴‍☠️
