Hosting FOSS on infrastructure is what I want to dedicate my life towards outside of work. I just need to find motivation to actually do things for myself (which will greatly help me) instead of looking for the dopamine hit when I think I'm doing something that will help the community
Not sure - I don't feel like I undervalue myself (although I guess that's exactly what someone in my situation would say lmao). I just don't find motivation in doing something solely for myself, and am instead invested in things that I think the community could benefit from. An example would be wanting to run a Public Searx/Invidious instance
Can you give me an example where the service I need to host is just for myself but I need to trick my brain into doing it? Like a private Jellyfin instance?
I use Kubernetes, and TBH the problem isn't the know-how (I can just learn what I don't know). The problem is a lack of motivation for doing it solely for myself; I know I should do it but why on earth can't I muster enough motivation to actually sit down and configure??
I kind of want to do it though. I want to be busy. I want to be hosting FOSS software for other people, like a SearX instance and maybe Invidious. The problem is, there's many more things that I should be doing in my homelab but for some reason I find more motivation in doing something that can help others rather than for myself
Now look here chap, Quadlet admittedly works fine. I personally just k3s anyway but .pod files work too.
Isn't being obedient to SELinux a good thing? You could set it to permissive if you want, but MAC systems are essential for security and I personally wouldn't go without them
Funnily enough Docker compose has never worked for me on Podman. There always seems to be something that is incompatible (also due to me running on Debian). However, I feel like it should become a standard amongst homelabbers and professionals to use Kubernetes manifests going forward, since it is the most portable.
NFS is a pain, no question about it. I used to use longhorn but these days since I'm doing a single node k3s I'm just doing hostpath. It's that PVCs make intuitive sense to me, but I guess podman will likely work just fine for such cases other than canary deployments and OOTB service-meshes
Somebody mentioned keeping a guide/blog online about the things I do, which is perhaps a round-about way of tricking my brain.
TBH there's plenty of Jellyfin guides out there haha you don't need (and likely shouldn't) follow a specific one.
