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.

I finally finished my first iteration of my Minilab including a very smooth migration from the old server yesterday so I can go to the service side of things again. I plan to get some kind of selfhosters VPN for external access to stuff that’s not exposed to the internet, I’ll have to investigate which one.

    Myself right now I’d probably take it with me - in fact that’s that I’m planning to do in a couple of months - but it sounds like my needs are a bit less than yours, and i can do some stuff just over LAN and on the ‘server’ (which is also a laptop) itself.

    For more, I think I’d also ask a friend like you’re thinking.

    I did that before with a relative - just had to ask them to restart the server every now and again!

    About trusted encryption keys, I did it with a simple password for boot encryption, that my relative knew, so in the event of theft it’d still be hard for thieves to get anything; but after boot I’d ssh in and unlock the second disk with my own password, then start up the services.
