Yep. Keeping up to date is a never ending battle. I try to do it often so they don’t pile up and break a ton of shit all at once. If you’re into gitops, I’m a big fan of using renovate to help automate things.

For sure. Simplifies querying the data too, since you won’t need to deal with multiple data sources in grafana.

TIL Promtail is going EOL. I’ve been using it forever. Guess I’m gonna have to figure out how to migrate to alloy too if that’s meant to be its successor. At home and at work lol.

You should be able to just add a scrape config to your existing deployment of prometheus

Yep, actual can do this sort of forecasting with schedules

I think this probably still won’t do what you want, but actual-helpers has a script that will track the balance of an investment account. It won’t track shares or funds separately or anything, but it could maybe be enough if your goal is just net worth tracking?

Another vote for actual. It’s my first budgeting app so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but it was super simple to set up (as far as self hosted apps go), I really like the web ui, and simplefin works to sync with all of my banks/accounts. My only gripe with it so far is that it could probably use a better mobile experience.

This doesn’t exactly answer your question, but I use the binhex qbittorrent-vpn image for this. It might work for you too unless you were wanting to be able to reuse the same wireguard container for something else?

Having to sign up to yet another platform to support someone’s work can introduce a lot of unnecessary friction

To solve this, here’s yet another platform

At home vs. for work are very different. At home, I self host as much as I can. At work, I use as many managed services as I can. Especially databases.

The idea of shipping something like that just makes me not want to do anything at all lol. It’s like a chicken and egg problem. Maybe if I could find someone local to buy it, then I would do the new build. But then I’d have no nas for that in between time. Hmmmm.

I’m in the process of divorcing my one giant server into separate nas and compute-only machines, I was going to leave the big one as the nas and maybe swap out its guts for something more power efficient than the dual socket beast since it will only need to handle storage now, but it might be easier to sell as a whole and do an all new itx build 🤔

My wallet is gonna hate me.

I really like that little case. I have a fractal xl r2 right now and it’s a monster.

I’ve been considering moving to this build in particular for lower power usage and heat output, but they have some other dual socket builds if you want more cpu power.

Some good ideas on this site if you are interested in building your own https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/guide-nas-killer-6-0-ddr4-is-finally-cheap/13956

You’re likely not going to find a premade dashboard that does exactly what you want, but grafana is extremely powerful if you’re willing to put in the time to learn it. There are ways to visualize things across hosts without having to configure things separately for every host. If you’re using the same mechanism to scrape metrics from each (sounds like you’re using prometheus + node exporter?), this could be as simple as adding a by (node) (or whatever the label name is if it’s not node) grouping to the query on each panel.

If you have your compose files in git, you might be able to use renovate to send you pull requests with image updates. I’ve done something similar with kubernetes but I think it supports docker compose too. You might need some kind of automation on your hosts to keep things in sync.

I’m not actually familiar with truenas or its ui, but if you have kubectl access you should be able to poke around in the logs and see what’s going on. I’m not sure if these logs are shown in the ui anywhere. With helm, there are so many different things it could be that there’s no use in speculating without some logs.

All that message means is “the thing didn’t start” and isn’t gonna tell you anything about why. You’d need to dig into pod logs or something to see if you can find the actual error that is preventing startup.

Cloudflare cause they already had my DNS and google domains was on its way to the google graveyard. Not sure how privacy respecting they are but they do offer some kind of partial whois redaction. Surely better than google though?
