Finally moved all my lxc onto a lower-power Xeon D host, consumes 1/3 the electricity of my previous Dell R430, same essential performance.

You can use https://schedule.lemmings.world/ to automate the posts. Or, given the community we're in, you can selfhost it!
This week I've been doing some work on my GOG Downloader to finally back up all my GOG stuff when I buy new disks, that's pretty much it for my selfhost/homeserver stuff this week.
I didn't know that, cool! Though I should probably talk to the mods before setting up such a thing.

Just swapped VPS hosts from ssdnodes to MassiveGRID. Got a pretty sweet deal, so I'm pretty excited.
Got my services transferred over this week and it's been fun as hell. It's interesting because I was discussing Portainer with my buddy and he has Portainer on his local PC to connect to his remote instances and with hindsight it sounds obvious of course, but it's such a nice little setup. Just finished setting up my Jellyfin reverse proxy so I'm gonna watch a movie and chill.
I used Portainer for a while and still like it for checking out networking stuff, but try out Dockge! It's more open sourcey and basic, but makes updating easier.

A third, and hopefully final attempt at getting an iredmail setup going. SPF, DKIM & DMARC all checking out fine. It's actually working this time. Need to get the ISP to change our PTR record though, last bit of the puzzle.
Also picked up a used negate device, so we now have pfsense fronting everything. That's allowed me to move the original router to a better location and put it in AP mode.
Emby media server moved off a Synology and into a proxmox container. Finally, we can stream high def with the hardware acceleration we weren't getting before.
Personally I'm mostly involved with my homelab migration so there's not too much on the selfhosting page except os updates. I set up meshmini earlier to access my thin clients via vPro/AMT but I need to configure the clients before being able to actually using meshmini. Once I'm done with that I'll finally be able to set up Lemmy and Pine pods.
My selfhosted stuff currently works fine without me doing much which feels good and lets me focus on hardware stuff currently.
Experimented with selfhosting a Woodpecker CI as a complement to my Forgejo.
Works quite nicely, I just need to set up a native ARM64 agent as the overhead of cross compilation on x86_64 is quite big.

If you need CI, check out OneDev. It's a git solution that comes with an integrated CI solution.
