• My Mac Mini is now running MacOS/Ventura and I’ve officially given up on running Linux on it
    • Now to get it set up as Boris Mann/Home Lab
    • Need Docker/Desktop for a bunch of things
    • Once it was updated I sat on the couch with my laptop and did a bunch of things over screen sharing
    • I posted to CoSocial Mastodon and to Bluesky and got a bunch of responses with tips

        • I have a Mac Mini running MacOS Ventura (the last Intel version).

          My plan is to run it as the main server for a home lab now that I have a 100Mbps uplink.

          I think I’m going to run Docker for some things that I currently host on Digital Ocean, and add a kind of Gateway Server on DO that has a static IP, does caching, and a few other things.

          Anyone else have ideas on what to run from a home lab, especially on #MacOS

      • Scott Nelson pointed to Headscale over Tailscale The Homelab Show https://thehomelab.show/2022/07/21/the-homelab-show-ep-64-tailscale-and-headscale/
      • FreedomBox
        • I took a look but it looks mostly out of date. Of the apps included, the blog and the wiki seem extremely basic compared to what I’m used to
      • Nextcloud was mentioned several times. I’ve been meaning to learn about administering this, especially in context of perhaps running it to support operations (and maybe members?) at #CoSocial
      • I don’t really feel the need to run Pihole
      • Jeff Henshaw says SyncThing
        • Longer discussion here, the majority of my files sync through iCloud and… it’s fine?
      • Various people pointed at Home Assistant. I live in an apartment and don’t really have anything home automation wise
      • Jason Cornick gave a whole list of stuff, the interesting ones of which I created local pages for here
