It’s Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I’ll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn’t want to forget the post again.

    I’m still a noob but I have been shocked at how easy Cosmos Cloud has been to set up compared to my old docker/portainer/nginx architecture. Things just work with minimal to no troubleshooting

      Lot of reinventing the wheel going on there. I will be interested to see how it matures.

        What are they reinventing the wheel from, proxmox or something like that? I should take a peek at something else just to see how they compare

      Thanks for the recommendation. It’s looking pretty interesting. I’m surprised I haven’t heard about it until now. How’s your experience overall? What other OS’s have you tried? I’ve tried Proxmox, then TrueNAS, but I settled on Unraid. (The Unraid server died on me. When I turned it on, I couldn’t access the web UI. Sometimes, when I press the power button, it doesn’t turn on. )

        Now that I bought different hardware for the cosmos server and my Pi is free I should check out proxmox and unraid though just to compare

        I haven’t tried any of those honestly. My previous setup was just a Raspberry Pi running docker with portainer GUI, and nginx pointing to one service. It took me at least a month of dealing with errors, and I got burned out when I could never get geo-blocking or fail2ban working.

        I stumbled across Cosmos when the dev posted about 0.16 release and the main draw for me was integrated reverse proxy, geo-blocking, anti-bot/ddos, and automatic updates. I have only run into a few hiccups setting it up and the discord is pretty active so my issues had either been solved before or someone answered me quick

          While reviewing Cosmos yesterday, I stumbled upon another operating system called ZimaOS. It’s also pretty interesting.
