What’s up, what’s down and what are you not sure about?
Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.
Personally I’m finally reaping the fruits of my labour and enjoy my stable homelab without doing much. One node went down recently and the other took over until I restarted so I was not in a hurry to fix things. Enjoying family time and only running updates that aren’t automated (yet). I’m about to dig a bit deeper into logging, probably setting up central log collection like Loki at some point, but not yet.
Realized today that borgbackup failed for almost 2 months straight on one of my servers (was a simple case of a lock being stuck). Finally setup push notifications via Pushover to notify on success/fail.
Healthchecks is incredibly nice for this kind of thing, it’ll notify you if it doesn’t receive a ‘success’ ping on whatever interval you specify.
I use it for all my Restic backups.
Yeah that sounds even better. What service do you use?
Same. I’d rather be alerted because something expected didn’t happen, not silence because something failed so hard it didn’t even send an alert.
This is worth it. Had this happen on OS backup. Lost my data. Notifs should be default.
