Server Info

My hardware:

• Mainboard: ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4
• CPU: Ryzen 9 5900x
• GPU: None
• RAM: 32GB DDR4-3200 ECC
• Storage:
  • HDD: 4x WD-Red 4TB 5400 RPM + 2x Seagate Exos 16TB 7200 RPM + 1x Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB 7200 RPM
  • NVME: SSD 970 EVO Plus 250GB

The 4 WD-Reds are currently unused.

The 3 Seagates are in a BTRFS-raid1c3

The NVME is the root filesystem and also runs on btrfs

Almost every piece of software on this server is running in a container, which makes the config/setup very portable (e.g. if moving to a different distro) and makes upgrades painless

Services running on this server:

• Caddy
  Previously used nginx as a webserver, but config was getting annoying and had often issues with caching. Also the setup with certbot was quite fragile
• Radicale
  Dead simple CardDAV/CalDAV server
• Jellyfin
  I don't even know of any better alternative, and am pretty happy either way, though it can be quite buggy with weak connections or transcoding
• Polaris
  One of the only music players that support a folder based view, and it's written in rust. Missing transcoding though,so not usable with mobile connections
• Filebrowser
  Simple web based file manager with easy user management
• Memos
  Minimal markdown note server
• Pigallery
  Folder based image viewer with good performance
• Vaultwarden
  Very lightweight and the bitwarden clients have very good UX
• Isso
  Simple commenting widget I use for my blog posts. It's almost perfect, but I would really like some automated spam detection, and maybe a more efficient implementation language than python. Might create my one version with spam detection via LLM in the future

I also have a git daemon running. I tried different git web ui's, but wasn't happy with most of them. cgit is too minimal, gitea too bloated and upgrades sometimes were a bit painful, and my latest "klaus" seemed to be really slow and had a lot of background IO.

I may go back to gitea (or rather "Forgejo") in the future, but for now I think I just keep a static page with links on this page.
