Nearly There!
After a few weeks of wrangling, I’ve moved over to almost entirely containerized hosting. After configuring a SWAG instance and learning nginx (and redoing all my subdomains), I only had one thing left in a VM: Discourse. Unfortunately, my repeated attempts to “containerize” Discourse have failed every time. Discourse itself runs its own “compose-like” Docker…

End of year updates
It’s been a doozy of a year end. Regarding the containerization, I’ve moved everything except for Discourse. That remains a bigger beast than I can tame, so I’ll likely leave it as a VM. Additionally, the reverse proxy is still on the same VM. That’s probably the next thing to do. Got “Redeployed” at my…

Moving towards containerization of everything
Today I spent some time trying out a Docker compose version of WordPress. On Unraid there’s a nifty plugin to allow Docker compose, and I quite like it for combining containers that work together. The bulk of tinker time today was spent trying to correctly proxy to the new instance, and at the end of…

Setting up two VMs
Not just two VMs — two *gaming* VMs! It was an adventure! Something I’ve wanted to do for a while now was to leverage the current position of my server. At our new house, I made the decision to put my PC in the basement and run loooong cables up through the floor for my…

Self-hosted Rabbit Hole
Well, I’ve had many adventures lately with the server, and I’ll try to document them as much as I can. Recently I spent some time trying to get my Nextcloud instance back up and running (success!), and then decided to add Mastodon. So now I can type little posts to myself, much like how I…

Learned Something Odd Yesterday
TL;DR- Setting up a flatpak of Steam on Manjaro while using Chrome Remote Desktop installs the flatpak with the CRD “gpu” as the default. I am trying to set up a “Steam Deck”-esque experience for our basement TV as a sort of “arcade” for the kids and myself. I’m using Manjaro as the base, to…

Rare Ian
I decided to try to make a real, true “Rare Ian”. I went through old photos we have of each other and picked a nice, non-offensive picture of our boy. Then I tried to turn it into an NFT. This post will be the “description” of this Rare Ian, so I’ll add some info. Ian…

Well, hmmm
So, I was able to upgrade the server. I know, I said I wouldn’t, but a deal came up that made it hard to ignore. So now I have a dual-10 core/20 thread setup in a used server chassis. It’s so roomy and nice! And it lit a fire in me to continue to expand.…

No (some) going back
I’ve just listed my current “arcade PC” on FB Marketplace. It’s the culmination of my COVID passion project: building a semi-portable arcade machine. It started with a birthday gift of “just buy the parts you need and get started”. I bought a lovely bunch of arcade parts (buttons, joysticks, wires, etc.) from MN-based Paradise Arcade…
