Awesome!

In here it is .30 pro Kwh

Ouch!

Here’s what I’ve been doing: https://lemmy.world/post/42332816/21852448

I’ll check out sablier. Every little bit helps. Even tho it’s selfhosting, there’s no need to consume more than necessary.

What I’ve been doing is running a cron at a certain time in the evening, shutting down the server, and am working on a WOL sequence from my pfsense box fired by a cron, to crank it back up. Since it sits idle for 12 hours out of the 24, I just didn’t see a need to keep it sucking up electricity.

Of course, I’m not running any midnight, mass downloads of Linux iso’s, and I have no other users save myself. If I had users, I’d pass the hat.

Assuming Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust, how does that run in a container. I was vacillating between installing traditionally, or Docker and decided on the former. So I’ve always been curious as to how it performed.

Hot damn

That literally got a snort, because I feel the same way when I find a much easier/cleaner way of doing something.

Awesome! I like ProxMox. Check out the Helper Scripts if you haven’t already. Some people like them, some don’t.

Now that I reflect on the embarrassment, it was a cheap, shared VPS and I’m pretty sure I was dogging the share. LOL Ahhhh…innocence. However, it was evident I needed some personal edification. Now, I am told, I over engineer security, but it works, so keep it the way it is.

Yes, but they should warn before shutting down,

IDK, if I were running the show, I’d probably have done the same thing especially when it started to involve other servers. I would assume that there would be some legal ramifications should it have just been ignored. It would have been good to observe to see if I could come up with who the puppeteer was, but I was super green then and probably wouldn’t have known where to start as far as forensics. I mean, if you get hacked, the knee jerk reaction is to pull the plug, but it would be more productive to do some forensics before killing the server.

Well, if you want to stir the pot, there are heavy discussions on both sides of the fence. Personally, I don’t get all pedantic about it. To quote Ice Cube; ‘Do your thing man, fuck what they looking at’.

As far as your post being deleted, it seems to be arbitrary at times and rather silent when courteous inquiries are made.

but I did just add a new sablier middleware to stop when iddle and start when first requested.

Would you mind expounding on this? Electricity is fairly affordable in my locale, however I’ve been on a mission to cut out consumption when it’s not needed. Have you noticed an ROI?

(I’m assuming US mainly because other countries are not generally so hostile towards employees)

It’s not a matter of hostility to employees, but it does have to do with liability and some people don’t know where the boundaries are. It’s usually a small minority screwing it up for everybody else.

Only do work on work devices.

Flashback to when I worked as a Mech Eng, I also ‘ran’ (term used loosely) the IT dept as well. Small fledgling company and I had the most experience. We would issue our service techs a laptop and a camera (back before phone cameras were popular) to use in the field to document. I’ve had to have a few conversations with individuals about non-work content on work computers. Some conversations were awkward as it dealt with porn. I’m not a prude, but I care none about your sexual proclivities. I had mentioned this to one of the principals who had told me to just issue the laptops without any lock features, but he later rescinded that and allowed me to lock down everything.

But yeah, non-work on work devices is a foul.

Yunohost is a pretty solid package. I think it has the most apps in it’s catalog. Point, click, enjoy pretty much. If you were looking for something that doesn’t require a lot upfront to get going, I would recommend Yunohost. There are others in that category as well.

There is a post about getting overwhelmed by 15

I made the comment ‘Just 15’ in jest. It doesn’t matter to me. Run 1, run 100. The comment was just poking the bear as it were. No harm nor foul intended. Sorry if it was received differently.

Not bragging. It is what it is. I run a plethora of things and that’s just on the production server. I probably have an additional 10 on the test server.

35 stacks 135 images 71 containers

+1 for Portainer. There are other such options, maybe even better, but I can drive the Portainer bus.

I have to stop working on it for a while when I get stuck.

I feel you there bro. Sometimes, when I’m creating a piece of music, I get to a point where, I’m just not making any progress, I’ll step of for a piece, let it simmer for a bit. Same with servers in general for me. It’s the reason I have a test server and have, in the past, leaned a bit heavily on a few backups. LOL! I can screw something up quick when I’m frustrated. The reward for me is learning something new. It’s a rewarding and useful hobby for me. among others.

Just 15 containers? lol

do you get lab burnout

Not really. I have everything set the way I want it and it’s stable. On occasion, I’ll see a container that catches my fancy, so I’ll spin it up on a test server, dick around with it, and monitor it before I ever decide to put it on my production server. On occasion I’ll have to fix, or adjust something. Most of the time I’m just enjoying it. I wouldn’t say I was running anything super complex tho.

As far as time, I’ve got you beat there most likely. Used to be lickity-split, but then you get old, things slow down. LOL Also, there is only one user…me. I realize you have family, but my hard and fast rule is: Multiple users cause issues, so I don’t share. I’d say, go spend your time with the family. That’s the most important.

I’m with you on the incomplete guides. There always seem to be that one ‘secret’ ingredient’ that just didn’t get documented. And to the devs of the opensource software, me love you long time, but please include a screenshot.
