VM's and Containers I am Running - 2023 - Lemmy.world

Last time I posted a full writeup on my lab (The before before this) there was a lot of questions on what exactly I was running at home. So here is a full writeup on everything I am running, and how you can run it too

That is quite an extensive network you got there at home.

Lots of servers, VM’s and docker containers working together.

Mine is just 1 small server with a bunch of docker containers running.

With this amount of servers it seems to be quite a job running and managing all of these. I am running just a few containers and struggle sometimes when there is a major version upgrade to get everything back up running.

How much time do you spend on maintenance for these machines and do you have a tool for it or is it just plain command line? 😯

Monitoring is the key. I use Zabbix, but essentially you want to gather metrics and report on issues.

Once things are set up and working, even with 10s of VMs and applications, it’s quite reliable. The biggest things that catch you out are updates breaking functionality, updates requiring additional manual steps, running out of disk space or expired certificates.

I find I get a spurt of energy to recreate or implement a new system every few months but things just tick over in the meantime.

This guy self hosts!

P.S Microbin added some few private paste options including adding password.

Interesting, I’ll admit its been a little while since I went in there. My main concern was the ability to upload files. Text I don’t care about too much, but when random people start uploading files, thats a problem

You can control that with this env variable MICROBIN_NO_FILE_UPLOAD

Checkout the docs for other options.

There is an ever expanding list of customisations built into MicroBin so you can use it the way you want.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:
