Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? (lemmy.nocturnal.garden)

It's been a while! Let us know what you're currently working on, what exploded, what cool stuff you found, or just brag that everything is running fine unattended.

I haven't been doing a lot, renovate auto upgrades for patches and sometimes minor updates work great so far. I got involved in my union to spin up a mastodon server soon, so there's a new project, but I already run mastodon so it shouldn't be much of a deal, I just need to get comfortable with the infrastructure. I also set up ntfy but only sent some test notifications and didn't configure any app yet - planned for Element Chat.

[Meta] I'm not sure how to apply the new tags. In the recent versions of this thread, people sometimes posted about their ollama setup or the like, but I'm not mentioning AI in the post body (except this meta thingy) and it shouldn't be much of the discussion, but it's an open post. Maybe curbstickle can chime in to let me know if I should apply one of them.

How was the experience? And worth the pain?

It was a pretty huge learning curve but it was great learning to troubleshoot stuff i also set up oauth2-proxy and that was also a bit of learning curve but worth it in the end

Can only speak for myself. I went with PocketID for oidc. The learning curve was a little steeper than most other homelab services i try, but its 111% worth the setup and time. Logging into services now happens automatically. And if you're distributing services to friends and family then oidc is a lot more seamless than 10 different accounts on 10 different services.

I went with PocketID because it looked the simplest out of the bunch. Authentik does provide more customization but afaik this is more needed for enterprise graded stuff.

All in all, very happy with it, not going back to traditional logins any time soon.
