I do this via cron. Shuts down the server while I’m asleep. I haven’t gotten around to it, but I want to issue a WOL from my standalone pFsense firewall to the server, and have it power up when I get out of bed.

There’s about a 1-2w difference

Yeah, you got to pick your battles.

I made a post about this a while back because I had some of the same concerns about power usage. (https://lemmy.world/post/41185625)

As most people are telling you, as they told me, ‘get better, more efficient equipment’, which is great advice if you are buying, but not so helpful if you’ve already bought. First thing I’d do is get a watt meter to get a baseline of what is being consumed. You can get watt meters from Amazon, or your preferred big box vendor, for cheap.

Once you have the baseline, then you can go about fiddling with Linux and your server, to find areas of excess power consumption. Please note tho, you’re not going to tame a $100 a month server down to $20. That’s just outside the realm of reality. However, every little bit helps. Go into your BIOS and check if there are power saving options there as well.

I know this will go against the grain, but I have a cron that powers off the server every evening before I retire. I am the only user of my services and I have no midnight, mass Linux ISO downloads going on, so I couldn’t justify having the server run for 10+ hours idle, consuming electricity. Electricity here is fairly cheap and I also have solar panels, but still, I think it’s worth the effort to be prudent with your resources.

In the end, the final tally was that I spend around $35 USD per month in electricity, which is far less than most people spend on a hobby.

Well…look at Mr. Money bags over here with his half potato. Why, back in my day, all we had was just a sliver of a potato and we were happy to have it.

Navidrome

+10 for Navidrome — solid piece of software.

Looks good OP. Quite the handful of app instances. What are you running this on?

• or
• bullet
• points

Linux can do that too from miners, backdoors/SSH credential stealers, bots, rare ransomware but they exist, rootkits, spyware, and supply‑chain attacks

Could you point to how you get something like this started?

The Homepage wiki is pretty detailed.

How do you find dockge over portainer?

I’ve used it briefly, and then went back to Portainer. I had no real complaints about dockge, other than I could drive the Portainer bus more efficiently and it just seemed to fit my flow. There are quite a few here that use dockge tho, so it must be a capable app.

OP built a security nightmare

How so?

Get crackin’. LOL For me, it’s a toss up between Homarr & Homepage. I went with Homarr which can do some of the metrics like Homepage, but Homepage has all the candy.

thezeitgeistexperiment.com

Didn’t downvote, tho I see someone downvoted both of your duplicate comments. Hilarious. That’s a rather interesting project. Is this a local LLM or commercially available?

Prusa Core One+

That’s a nice one. I was gifted a Raise3D Pro2 Plus. It is very useful around the farm.

Looks great OP! If I hadn’t chose Homar long ago, it would definetly be the one I’d use. Homarr will do some metrics like Homepage. What kind of 3d printer do you have?

…aww shucks

In my thinking, redundancy, defense in depth…maybe? May be overkill. I run them both with no issues.

Honest question: Why fail2ban? Have you considered crowdsec ?

Why not both?

Well, I’m not sure what ‘janky’ encompasses for you but when you add themepark, it looks much better.
