Cloudflare has a catch-all option that you can enable, but they only allow you to receive emails not send them. https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-routing/setup/email-routing-addresses/

ranger is another good one. I very rarely end up using a terminal file manager though.

Worth pointing out that while ventoy is open source, iventoy is not. Might be important to some people.

They are usually released at the end of the year.

• 6.1 - 2022-12-11
• 5.15 - 2021-10-31
• 5.10 - 2020-12-13
• 5.4 - 2019-11-24
• 4.19 - 2018-10-22
• 4.14 - 2017-11-12

But when you say “24.04” it sounds like you are asking when the next Ubuntu LTS is released?

That’s a great point I hadn’t considered tbh! And that learning new technologies even if there is no “purpose” to it can be… fun! :)

All software listed is FOSS.

• Librespeed - Self-hosted speedtest
• Code Server - VS Code instance that you can access through the browser
• changedetection.io - Detect changes in a website or part of website and notify you when that happens
• Material for MkDocs - Wiki/knowledge base
• Gitea - GitHub alternative. You might wanna consider Forgejo instead. I don’t care enough personally to switch.

I just run one mariadb container via docker-compose that all my other services use as their database.

version: "2"
services:
  mariadb:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb:latest
    container_name: mariadb
    environment:
      - TZ=####/####
      - PUID=###
      - PGID=###
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD==############
    volumes:
      - /docker/mariadb:/config
    ports:
      - 3306:3306
    restart: unless-stopped

Off-topic but I don’t really get the appeal in running Kubernetes (or similar technologies) in a homelab. Unless it’s something you want to learn for work of course.

I’ve never heard of Nextclouf AIO, do you have links?

I wouldn’t join a private tracker that requires me to expose my real IP. It doesn’t sound serious at all.

ZFS for RAID array and BTRFS for root is the way to go!

As usual the Arch wiki is one of the best resources for this. Not everything is applicable on Debian but should answer most questions. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface/Secure_Boot

Since my “homelab” is just that, a homelab, I’m comfortable with using :latest-tag on all my containers and just running docker-compose pull and docker-compose up -d once per week.

Thank you so much!

The free license is so generous that a home user really should have no reason to ever pay for it.

are you even hosting it

No but as andrew mentions below you CAN self host it.

According to them it’s a way to get individual enthusiasts on board who will then get their workplaces to adopt Tailscale.

“In capitalism we call this a win/win deal. You get free stuff. You enjoy it. You tell your boss. Your boss gives us money (eventually). And nobody’s personal information got misplaced along the way. You did pay us—by talking about us.” https://tailscale.com/blog/free-plan/

Depending on your desktop environment you can probably overwrite what that keyboard combination does to prevent that from happening.

Please share that wallpaper, looks awesome!

Debian is great. It’s basically Ubuntu (it also uses apt for example) but bit more traditional. In fact it’s probably one of the most popular distros used in servers when you don’t need the support that someone like Redhat can give you especially as a business. And if you can’t live without “snaps” then you can install snapd on Debian.

I was distrohopping for like a year or two when I first got into Linux desktop. As soon as I installed Arch for the first time that stopped. Now the thought of a distro pre-installing packages gives me the heebie jeebies. You don’t get to tell me how I sync with NTP servers!

Duplicati is great in many ways but it’s still considered as being in beta by it’s developers. I would not trust it if the data you back up is extremely important to you.
