Running kubernetes in your homelab is a fantastic way to learn, explore, express yourself, and run services that you use.

Running kubernetes in your homelab is complex, time consuming, there are almost no docs to help you (homelab focused docs for things you want to install), and nothing is copy paste. You have to make everything happen yourself.

Forgejo supports repository mirrors, I think this is how I am going to handle migrating all of my github repos into forgejo. over time I’ll probably go through and delete a bunch of unnecessary one from github, ones that might have a user or two I might keep on github. I have such small scale projects with almost no users I am not sure that It really matters for me or not.
damn david has been busy, this is sick seeing all of the repos, I’m ready to jump in!
WIP
David’s got me looking at Forgejo. I’ve seen a lot of GitHub jumpers just this week, and I’ve been tempted for a long time to self host one anyways, so it might be time. I don’t have hard issues with anything, I just like self hosting my own personal stuff.
On the flipside, I hope this does not turn yet another thing to shit. I lived through the download software from sourceforge and hope you get the right download now button and not the one from the virus ad. I’m not putting my really public/useful projects on a self hosted platform… well not as the only source, I see how that comes off edgy. I like having some trust in the platform. Currently theres a lot of issues with M$ and GitHub using you for your data, but I don’t think injecting virus, malware, bitcoin miners is a worry I have coming from a GitHub release, unless it was put there by the author.
Great list of self hosted markdown editors. Looking for a good one for my wife and family to use that does not look like editing code.
Great guide to setting up a samba server right in kubernetes. I tried it out after too long of playing with trying to get connected to a samba share on ucore, no idea what was wrong, but this just works, and will live in my homelab no matter what distro I’m on, no playbook required to set it up, just good ol k8s manifest. TBH I cheated and haven’t set up the secrets yet, so its not quite in argocd or in my github repo, but POC is there and it works as advertised without issue.
Ben is always good for a banger of a video, this images app is something that i really want in my homelab, he did some great polish here! The idea of building vibe coded applications for your own personal use with all of your own personal opinions and workflows is something that has been an appealing part of ai, I’ve definitely tossed a few apps in my homelab that I use occasionally and they do what I ask of them pretty accurately.
This feels great to use, but also seems to kill any startup idea I have, as most of them feel like they could be vibe coded out by someone with a bit of skill and they just host their own. Maybe this is a good thing, maybe we are moving into an era of more people owning their own app they use for themself, maybe i need a security related startup?
I’m working on replacing my usage of google inline search apps with real apps, these are ones that I create and host on my own homelab. The first three that I created are mostly chatgpt based, with a bit of hand edit after the fact, uploaded to minio and become an app on my k8s-pages
I’m leaning on 3 min read
Zulip was just featured on a changelog clip as a self-hosted chat offering. I’m interested to give this a go and see how it compares to matrix. glancing at it, it looks a lot like slack.

I’ve long hosted my personal blog as a static site on waylonwalker.com. It’s all markdown, converted to html, and shipped as is. It’s been great, I’ve moved it from GitHub Pages, to Netlify, tried Vercel for a minute, and have landed on Cloudflare Pages. Each migration has not really been that hard, it’s just pointing ci to a different host after the site has built.
Now the part that I have struggled with is how to cheaply host a server rendered application that can just live on forever without me paying for it. This is a harder problem as it costs more to keep servers spinning, memory, and disk all ready for you to use at a moments notice.
