How do you document your Homelab?

Reply in thread

This really is the way.

It goes beyond documentation too - it allows me to migrate to new hosts or to easily automate upgrading the OS release version.

I have a docusaurus site for my homeland and I have ansible and terraform generate files for the docs so I don’t have to record anything. Some of the stuff I note down:

  • DNS leases
  • General infra diagrams
  • IP info
  • Host info

Your best JRPG for a new player

I can’t imagine recommending something other than a Dragon Quest. Chrono trigger being an obvious second answer.

Idk how the community feels about it but pokemon is another possible choice if the person is completely new to gaming and wanted to just try turn based.

Wifi Portal

Or on their phone.

Most of the time it’s used to help guests get onto the wifi quickly.

I also find it handy to get the wifi password when on-boarding smart devices or whatever new gadget.

I legitimately want to run Linux as my desktop OS, please tell me how to meet my requirements.

I think the key is you need to find FOSS software that works for you before migrating your OS. Most FOSS software will run on windows and sometimes MAC.

1-2 and 3 will be hard. You can find many tools that do something similar but it won’t be perfect. There are a few different music managers, and for office libreoffice is the go to.

  1. try digikam, it supports all OSes

  2. googling “Fujitsu snap scanner Linux” yielded a few blog articles on the matter. Seems it should be supported.

Packman repository usage best practices on Opensuse Tumbleweed?

I’ve found it best to avoid the pacman repo. It can leave my system in such a weird inbetween state. Seeing as you mostly want codecs I tend to prefer flatpaks for VLC, Firefox, etc.

If you insist on pacman, just wait. If you try to dup and have a conflict it means that either pacman or suse repos aren’t all updated so hold on a few days and you should be able to dup with no issues.
