24 days agoI use it for work so it felt natural to do it at home too. If anyone has time to learn it as a hobby and doesn’t mind a challenge, I recommend it. But IMO you need to already be familiar with a lot of containerization concepts

I use k3s and argocd to keep everything synced to the configuration checked into a git repo. But I wouldn’t recommend that to someone just getting started with containers; kubernetes is a whole new beast to wrestle with.

You do eventually get the close tag, when you log out. Lol
Perhaps this, from their FAQ (question and answer copied in their entirety so you can actually read it)
Connectivity Issues
Why can’t I access Catbox/access files on Catbox (files.catbox.moe)?Good question! It turns out certain governments in the world hate freedom of information, don’t have net neutrality, don’t see online service providers as legally exempt entities, or a combination of the three!You will have issues accessing Catbox/files on Catbox if you are connecting from the following countries or providers:
Austrailia
Why? - The Australian government had a heart attack after the Christchurch shooting, and decided that Catbox was a terrorist propaganda spreading website, and has instructed multiple Australian ISPs to implement DNS blocks of Catbox’s domains.
How to resolve? - Changing your DNS servers to a public server (i.e. 8.8.8.8, 76.76.2.0, or 208.67.222.222) or utilizing DoH should mitigate this problem.
Ireland/UK
Why? - Unfortunately the love of footy has overtaken the sensibilites of the British and Irish governments, and they have decided to implement an IP level block on Catbox’s primary IP address, due to clips of games being uploaded to Catbox…
How to resolve? - You will need to utilize a VPN in order to evade this traffic hijack.
Iran
Why? - Unknown, but I’m sure you can probably make some pretty accurate guesses.
How to resolve? - You will need to use a VPN to bypass the IP-level block.
Afghanistan
Why? - Unknown, but I’m sure you can probably make some pretty accurate guesses.
How to resolve? - You will need to use a VPN to bypass the IP-level block.
Comcast/Comcast Business
Why? - Comcast Business’ “SecurityEdge” hijacking attack intecepts traffic going towards Catbox. Residential customers are blocked by “xFi Advanced Security” I have been unable to determine if this is a DNS level block, or an IP level block.
How to resolve? - Comcast Residential: Disable the “xFi Advanced Security” hijack on your router. Comcast Business: Disable the “SecurityEdge” hijack on your account. See here.
Spectrum
Why? - Spectrum’s “SecurityEdge” hijacking attack intercepts DNS requests for Catbox for an unknown reason.
How to resolve? - Spectrum Residential customers should disable the “SecurityEdge” hijack in their router/account settings, or use a VPN to bypass the hijack.
Rogers
Why? - Unknown. It appears to be dynamically filtering web traffic to Catbox.
How to resolve? - Disable the “Advanced Security” hijack attack in your Rogers settings
Verizon
Why? - Unknown. This is a DNS based block, which means Verizon’s DNS servers are returning no result for catbox.moe.
How to resolve? - Changing your DNS servers to a public server (i.e. 8.8.8.8, 76.76.2.0, or 208.67.222.222) or utilizing DoH should mitigate this problem.
Quad9
Why? - Quad9 actually pulls an aggregate list of URL blacklists and uses them for their filtered DNS service. Catbox is frequently added to no-name blacklists for various reasons.
How to resolve? - Use Quad9’s alternative DNS server 9.9.9.10, or switch to another public DNS server.
Not everything is about growth. If that instance’s userbase or activity plateaus I’m sure they won’t mind at all.
It may be the worst one, but it’s the one everyone at my company uses. Having multiples is worse than having a bad one.
I started learning k8s about 5 years ago, and in about 8 months I was ready to setup k3s at home and manage everything with ArgoCD.
Approximately 3 years ago I set up a second cluster on digital ocean and moved some workloads to that, including ArgoCD which manages both the remote DO cluster and the home k3s cluster
Never heard of dockStarter so I’m gonna say yes
Compose is good for getting started, and might be sufficient for a long time. Eventually I moved to k8s but I also use that for work so it was an easy move for me.
I used idonethis.com a long time ago, but haven’t had a need for it lately so can’t comment on any changes to it in the past 4-4l5 years
I use oauth2proxy+nginx ingress gateway where needed (apps that don’t support OIDC themselves), with dex their OIDC provider, and github is dex’s upstream IDP+OIDC.
I use it for my home services but that’s because I also use it at work and understand it well. It is absolutely not something that a beginner should touch, especially if “docker” is a new term to them.
A big part of it is the open source aspect, yes.
In addition, Plex is increasingly weighing down their offering with new “features” of questionable value. Some would probably use the term “enshittification” to describe the trend over the past year or two.
I bought a plex lifetime license a long time ago (2013), but for a newcomer I would recommend Jellyfin. You can also run them both simultaneously with no issue and decide for yourself.
Thanks for the heads up.
I plan on using digital ocean’s Spaces (s3-alike) where possible and also it’s intended to be a personal instance, at least to start - just for me to federate with others and subscribe to my communities. Given that, do you think it’ll still use much disk (block device) storage?
Might be time to familiarize myself with DO’s disk pricing…
A 13-year-old former gaming computer, with 30TB storage in raid6 that runs *arrs, sabnzbd, and plex. Everything managed by k3s except plex.
Also, 3-node digital ocean k8s cluster which runs services that don’t need direct access to the 30TB of storage, such as: grocy, jackett, nextcloud, a SOLID server, and soon a lemmy instance :)
Oh no you forgot kubernetes!
You could get notified with a PR to update a version with renovate.
(Assuming you have your selfhosting configurations checked into source control, which I realize as I’m typing this that it might not be the norm…)
Ubuntu LTS and k3s for all workloads (except for plex, which I’ve not gotten around to migrating yet…)
http://xkcd.com/1205/
I have 37TB of media and another 10 in the download queue waiting for storage to be freed up. Which probably would equate to tens of thousands of torrents (or nzbs in my case). So it was absolutely worth my time
