(00:00) Welcome and Feedback (00:24) Re-evaluating Self-Hosting (01:30) Gifting Linux Devices (03:14) Setting Up for Success (05:01) Managing Remote Devices (10:29) Remote Access with WireGuard. Securely accessing local resources remotely. (13:01) Introducing Jellyfin (14:15) Managing Disk Space df -h to confirm disk usage docker system prune -a to remove older images, stopped, hanging. Recovered 50gb. (16:00) The Raspberry Pi Evolution Does the Pi family make sense in 2025? If you already own one, use that. If you don’t, the draw to modern thin clients and PC’s is more desirable in cost & size vs performance. (19:39) NextcloudPi project. Years of testing across various devices. Adopting containers in order to spin up simultaneous production and test instances of the same software. Less interest in specific devices and more interest in running whatever service I need on arm64 or x86 architecture. I’m behind the times in terms of modern automations when testing, but this is how I’ve learned. (21:01) Testing and Flexibility At what point does the Pi simply become another server? I feel we’ve already reached this point with the Pi 5. (24:50) Repurposing Old Hardware Having older iterations of hardware is great. Pi 2 has full sized USB and basic ethernet, so is fine assuming it is still supported by a project. Personally self-hosting on Pi devices to help me with audio editing since my laptop is not powerful enough on it’s own. (26:30) What modern laptop would you recommend I purchase? Haven’t purchased a high end model in over 10 years, so ready to upgrade. Would like to edit video and run LLM. (30:12) Seeking Audience Input on devices they use. (31:00) What devices are you hosting on? If you use a Pi 5, why? Do you regret it vs an alternative? Does a Pi 5 with NVME disk make more sense than an x86 computer? (32:00) Audience question on wanting to know more about the host. Masonry, theatre gigs, open source volunteer with hackerspaces, piracy in academia, all about the Host (44:00) Apprentice to the Wild book by Kurt Hoelting (45:30) btm terminal application recommendation. Known as bottom, for monitoring remote network services. If you like the show, please do share it!
Continued adventures in selfhosting, after moving for months and distributing my single board computers out to friends and family. Also, answering questions about the host.
I’m on the latest episode now. Boy, the first couple of episode was rough, audio wise. Much better in the later ones. Do you ever plan on having guests or even co-hosts on the show?
I like when there is banter and discussion between people on podcasts. Makes it feel more organic. :)
I have a couple people on the docket, but haven’t been able to align anyone for recording yet. I would like to have a guest or co-host, because why not try it. :)
