<![CDATA[I've cleaned up my Raspberry Pi selfhosting setup a bit.]]>I've cleaned up my Raspberry Pi selfhosting setup a bit. I'm using two, each in an Argon ONE V5 case with a 1TB NVME drive, running Raspberry Pi OS.

'one' is serving Nextcloud All-in-one, Immich and Vaultwarden via a Caddy reverse-proxy. All using Docker containers, Caddy as a custom build with my domain DNS provider added.

'two' is used as remote borg backup destination for 'one', and later a few monitoring tools.

All three sites are using a wildcard certificate for my domain, and I connect via WireGuard (on the router) when away from home.

Path of least resistance:

I've tried Podman, AlmaLinux, and running a manual install of Nextcloud on Ubuntu. This setup follows recommended installations methods, and gives me fewer things to worry about.

Right now 'two' is only used for backups, but I know about swarm mode, and might explore it later.

I'm used to a similar setup from Proxmox, where you can use a (maybe less beafy) node to take over when doing maintenance.

My main concern right now is simplicity. Except for vim and borgbackup, 'two' is just the basic OS.

Are you using 'two' just to hold backups?

Or you can switch to point to 'two' and continue serving the services when 'one' is down?

I have a setup with 4 x Pi5. And any of them holds the same. They replicate from 'current primary'. They are also in 4 diff locations (lets say my 4 homes 🙂 )
And I can switch from one to another when primary is down.

Yeah, I noticed that when using podman: load at about 5 (with 4 cores) for more than 30 minutes. In the end I did a hard reboot (unplug power, apply power). I didn't notice it with the docker setup, but maybe I wasn't paying attention when it happened.

How did Immich's first library scan land on the NVMe? The thumbnail + smart-search indexing pass is the one I always brace for.
