I'm looking for recommendations for inexpensive but reliable ARM / fanless small server at the lowest cost possible. The software on it will be debian/ Yunohost (a git forge, nextcloud, some internal docomentation, etc).

Min-specs: 4-8GB RAM.
Budget: Hopefully under $250, or something I can find in the used market.
I was told rasberry pi's are not as reliable, is there better?

I have been managing my own CA for NRPE and OpenVPN by hand but I always forget how to (re)generate the certificates. I'll give step-ca a try this weekend and follow the @jwildeboer blog post https://jan.wildeboer.net/2025/07/letsencrypt-homelab-stepca/

Be the LetsEncrypt in your homelab with step-ca

So you have a Cute Homelab and you want to use it to secure your services and containers with x509 certificates? But your homelab isn’t on the internet, so you can’t simply use LetsEncrypt? Well. You can become your own LetsEncrypt and hand out certificates with certbot. You “just” need to run your own CA (Certificate Authority). Sounds frightening and complicated? It kinda is, but not really when you use step-ca, an open source solution that you can run in a container.

Ich gebe 2€ für einen (wie ich jetzt weiß) überdimensionierten VPS aus, der als VPN Brückenkopf ins Internet agiert.

Bei mir ist caddy dafür zuständig SSL zur Verfügung zu stellen und manche services extern zugänglich zu machen. U.a. nextcloud 😉

Das ist das schöne am #selhosting jede wie sie/er möchte. Und in der individuellen Geschwindigkeit.

Wie läuft bei die der externe Zugriff ohne port für die challange?

Grabaciones lentas reúne temas grabados sin apuro, con elementos caseros, dejándolos respirar.
Hechos con tecnologías no tan nuevas, pero suficientes.
Con conocimientos no necesariamente profesionales, pero certeros en lo que buscaban transmitir.

Es decir: producto de la grabación pobre.

I Almost Ditched k3s for Docker Swarm (And Why I Didn't)

After two years of k8s complexity, I seriously evaluated switching to Docker Swarm. Here's what I learned about the trade-offs and why I ultimately stayed.

A little update on the #Plex (and Jelly) transcoding for the #synology #x25 models, DS425+ and DS225+.

A new version of the i915.ko version has been published (the #BeestationPlus one) that now supports #HDR tone mapping correctly.

Article has been updated and it is referring to this as a "v2" solution. v1 solution is still posted as a fail safe until some github scripts have been updated to the new solution.
