Almost forgot before going to bed but I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.
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.
I had a pair of v5 with unbound setup, and ran the pihole -up and it went down lol. Dunno what happened, but i reinstalled and it’s all good.
I only run the basic block list, so I am thinking more and more to setup docker on my main server and move my pihole, pyvpn and grafana there and free up my raspi.
Hmm, I wonder if the failed updates are only direct installs vs docker.
I run two piholes, a primary on a rpi 3b running pios, and a secondary on my main server. Both are installed via docker and both updated without issue (besides the password thing).
I like having the primary DNS on a separate machine; it’s kind of important and I like to mess with the main server a lot…
I also like to mess around so more and more docker seems like at least an ok idea if not a good idea.
I definitely recommend it, particularly using docker compose. It’s made it incredibly easy to add, remove, and modify software installs; keeping everything independent and isolated from each other.
This also makes backups and rolling back updates to individual projects much easier when you do run into problems.
I appreciate the motivation. Thanks!
