I got a minimal setup with pihole and nextcloud. I was wondering what else I could do. Share your ideas🙂
If you’re not using your pihole as a recursive DNS server that is a natural next step that ties neatly into where you’ve already gone. Wireguard can also easily run next to it if you want a lightweight VPN for when you’re away from your network.
Thanks for sharing these feature. I run pihole but knew nothing about this. As my move my implementation to new hardware I’ll definitely be adding this.
Nice read, thanks for the insight.
Thanks for this topic, definitively something my pihole will get!
Create a dotfiles repo in git. Gives you a way to track changes to your .bashrc or .zshrc
With extra bonus: write an installer script that symlinks the files to the correct place. Use Ansible, plain old Bash, or Python depending on your preference.
rcm

rcm will do symlinking for you and is pretty awesome. Been using it for this purpose for years
I’m waffling between that or just setting up a bare git repo. Am prepping a VM or two to explore the pros/cons of each approach and to dive into the implications.
It’s funny - this project idea seems to free bubbling up everywhere this past week. I’m sure I’m seeing the consequences of search algorithms, but on Lemmy, it’s nice to see what is a definite and pleasant coincidence.
That is the next item on my to-do list. I’ve already installed my own gitea container to run at home. Yes, I could use a public repo (set private) but I wanted I learn how to do this and besides, I wanted to cast a wider net for which files to store but not worry about inadvertently publishing something with passwords embedded…
I didn’t really see the benefit of this besides having a snapshot or backup of my home folder for my use case (I don’t have that many config/text files that needs tracking), but I can recommend chezmoi for those interested.
Paperless-ngx. It’s a document management system for home users or small companies. Pretty cool if this is something you need. If you spend a lot of time filing away documents, you definitely need this.
Might be worth hosting Gitea/Forgejo
If you have uncapped bandwidth you could run a syncthing relay server. Syncthing rocks as a file sync option and I host my own.
Currently working on a replacement for BirdCAGE. It was a pretty cool project, that was unfortunately based on some pretty hacky code (not the dev’s fault, he based it on BirdNet-Pi) and subsequently has been abandoned.
MVP is up and running, just polishing and adding features. Still no GUI just yet, right now it’s just presisting the data locally (recordings with detections, spectrograms, and a database of detections) and submitting the results to Birdweather which you can use as a basic UI until I get around to it.
It’s been a great learning experience.
I was going to try to set up Ampache so that I could access my entire music library at work.
I’m going to be building out a third wireless access point with OpenWRT to get better wireless coverage in the house.
Do what I do. “Oh shoot, Jellyfin stopped, now I have to remember how to tell Arch to clear out its cached packages” (it’s pacman -sc if you’re me and you’re reading this in the future)

I’ve been wanting to set up neko for a while now and i finally can next week when i get some free time
There’s so much you could do.
- have a reverse proxy for your services, as containers
- connect then through netbyrd or nebula if you want the FOSS route (or headacalescale)
- set up an IDPS, such as fail2ban, snort, etc
- Set up a backup job, there’s many projects that does this well - check out Borg and kopia.
- since we’re on linux, try out different shells. Zsh or fish are pretty popular and pretty to look at.
Host your own Gitea server and then version control your own RPI configs on the RPI. I mean… save them elsewhere also, but it’s yet another thing you could do with that awesome little device.
