Breaking change: Due to the security reason, the “Console” feature is now disabled by default. If you need this feature and understand the risk, you can enable it via the environment variable DOCKGE_ENABLE_CONSOLE=true.

Good that they made a decision, the old security features restricting which commands you could run were awful and could be bypassed by accident. You could run ALLOWED_COMMAMD; ANY_OTHER_COMMAND.

I fixed DNS

(My DNS queries were blocked by my ISP’s modem, I flashed OpenWRT on an old WiFi Repeater, and set up a DoH proxy)

Thanks for the advice. I also use a cheap domain with a wildcard, but use nginx instead. I just tried using Adguard and although it’s fascinating to see the insights of all the DNS requests, it didn’t really help fix the issue. However, since using DoH with Cloudflare in combination with setting it to the specific IP instead of my local device name and have 100% uptime now (since the last 10 minutes that is).

I’m using a public DNS record that points to a local device.

*.example.org → example.org
example.org → device_name.lan

Uptime Kuma seems to use nscd for caching internally and the default system DNS resolver. I’ve added a custom DNS resolvers to Uptime Kuma, and apparently it can get the records from Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) but it can’t get it from the OpenWRT router (192.168.1.1). 🤔

I’ve enabled a proxy on the router to force the use of DoH, maybe that will help if the ISP’s modem is at fault.

Since the records have TTL of 5 minutes wouldn’t dnsmasq have to reach to upstream DNS servers every 5 minutes?

If you self-host your own instance, make sure to disable image hosting / caching. I’ve had to DM a lot of people to inform them of “problematic” images hosted on their instance.

Which provider did you use? Also, Hetzner costs the same but with 8GB RAM.

I use Keycloak

Old PC’s and especially laptops (make sure to consider removing the battery though) make great homeservers. You can run dozens of services on old hardware.

Yes, but if you care about power efficiency then they really aren’t a great option. Most professional server hardware that you can get for a decent price uses significantly more power than an old mini computer or a cheap N100 PC. I own a proliant but rarely power it on due to the fact that I could rent an similarly performant VPS for 2x the power bill. Besides that many server CPU’s don’t have integrated GPU’s and will require additional hardware if you want to run something like Jellyfin.

You can use Tailscale, you can access your personal services with it but also expose public services with their Funnels system.

Keep in mind that while the clients are open source, their servers are running proprietary software.

I tried this a while ago in combination with tailscale, exposing the VPN as an exit node. However, I found the performance to be problematic.

Linkwarden can manage links and automatically archive the page as PDF, image, and/or HTML/CSS

FYI, the repo has been moved and the link is outdated

Why does it list Gitea instead of Forgejo?

Cockpit’s GUI can only manage individual containers, not stacks

I recommend going with Debian (without desktop) and Docker compose. You can use something like Dockage to make it easier.

What are you running on it?

I’m happy with my little N100
