[970.16 --> 971.70] You can really try out Linode. |
[971.82 --> 974.44] And you support the self-hosted podcast. |
[974.62 --> 976.10] That's like a win-win for everybody. |
[976.60 --> 978.00] Linode is our cloud server provider. |
[978.14 --> 982.42] When we're building or any kind of testing that we're doing, we do it on Linode. |
[982.42 --> 987.04] And because the price is so great, it makes it possible for a small team to have killer infrastructure. |
[987.30 --> 996.62] That's one of the things that I feel like is our secret sauce here at JB is we can have access to infrastructure that is crazy fast. |
[996.70 --> 998.16] 11 data centers around the world. |
[998.72 --> 1000.04] Really fast network connections. |
[1000.20 --> 1001.08] Really fast machines. |
[1001.08 --> 1004.94] Their dedicated CPU rigs have those AMD EPYC CPUs in them. |
[1005.52 --> 1010.46] And they have been independently verified as some of the fastest CPUs in cloud computing. |
[1010.80 --> 1017.28] But one of the things I think that's great about them is when I'm building or testing something, they have a ton of distributions to choose from. |
[1017.46 --> 1019.36] Basically, all the distributions you'd want to deploy. |
[1019.48 --> 1022.52] And even some I'm not sure you'd want to deploy in production. |
[1022.80 --> 1023.10] Arch. |
[1023.52 --> 1024.06] But are there. |
[1024.16 --> 1025.86] And I extremely appreciate that. |
[1025.86 --> 1029.12] But what I really get about Linode is their love for Linux. |
[1029.22 --> 1030.66] That's what got them into this. |
[1031.08 --> 1036.26] That's why they started in 2003 is because they were in love with the technology itself. |
[1036.40 --> 1040.32] They saw where it was going, what virtualization was going to bring to the market. |
[1040.50 --> 1043.20] And so they got in before AWS or anyone else. |
[1043.20 --> 1045.18] They started so long ago. |
[1045.46 --> 1048.20] And yet they don't do like a million things. |
[1048.94 --> 1051.92] They're not like a bookstore and a movie platform. |
[1051.92 --> 1057.28] They really just focus on doing the absolute best cloud computing possible. |
[1057.66 --> 1059.60] And they're independently owned even today. |
[1059.76 --> 1062.70] And they're dedicated to offering the best virtualized cloud computing. |
[1062.92 --> 1065.78] If it runs on Linux, it runs on Linode. |
[1066.12 --> 1067.52] Also, check a link on our show notes. |
[1067.62 --> 1069.78] We'll have a link to their Top Docs talk. |
[1070.10 --> 1070.46] That's right. |
[1070.52 --> 1071.48] Top Docs talk. |
[1071.90 --> 1075.48] And they have one about the benefits of using infrastructure as code. |
[1075.80 --> 1077.52] And, you know, that's something we're big fans of. |
[1077.66 --> 1079.08] So check in the notes for that. |
[1079.40 --> 1081.16] Linode.com slash SSH. |
[1081.16 --> 1084.26] Go there, support the show, get $100 in 60-day credit. |
[1084.76 --> 1088.32] And, of course, check out all the features of Linode. |
[1088.72 --> 1090.58] Linode.com slash SSH. |
[1092.16 --> 1098.26] Well, a few weeks ago, I promised something along the lines of a self-hosted community deep dive. |
[1098.68 --> 1103.44] You know, every so often we're going to have somebody from the self-hosted community come on and chat with us |
[1103.44 --> 1112.02] and sort of talk about the apps they run, why they run them, you know, what they wish that their setup did that it doesn't currently do. |
[1112.14 --> 1116.44] And a lot of, hopefully, discussions about why they made some of the decisions that they made. |
[1117.00 --> 1121.22] Hopefully it'll be an interesting portal into some of our community members for you. |
[1121.22 --> 1128.18] And the first volunteer or the first glutton for punishment is the orange one from our Discord server. |
[1128.30 --> 1129.04] Hey, Jake, how are you doing? |
[1129.64 --> 1133.28] Hi. Yeah, I think I feel like maybe the correct term for this is victim. |
[1134.24 --> 1135.14] Ah, yes, yes. |
[1135.18 --> 1137.62] Yes. But yeah, no, it's great. |
[1137.78 --> 1138.50] It's great to be here. |
[1138.66 --> 1139.70] It's going to be good. |
[1139.70 --> 1143.66] Well, it's been interesting trying to schedule three different people in three different time zones. |
[1143.78 --> 1147.60] So thank you for joining us at, I think, what is 10.30 p.m. UK time? |
[1148.24 --> 1149.68] Yeah, it's 10.30. |
[1149.72 --> 1153.72] I've got to be up in nine hours for another seven and a half hours of work. |
[1153.90 --> 1155.06] That used to be your life, Alex. |
[1155.36 --> 1156.72] Yeah, pre-dad life, huh? |
[1156.84 --> 1157.96] Sleep is a distant memory. |
[1159.58 --> 1162.00] All right, so why don't we dive in with the first question then? |
[1162.28 --> 1165.10] And let's talk a little bit about your hardware setup. |
[1165.10 --> 1169.04] So specifically talking about the stuff you have at home and things like that. |
[1169.04 --> 1170.94] Talk us through some of the stuff you've got there. |
[1171.28 --> 1174.16] Most of my setup is at home. |
[1174.28 --> 1176.50] The sort of self-hosting life is very much. |
[1176.58 --> 1179.96] I run everything on my LAN sort of as normal. |
[1181.06 --> 1188.04] Most of my setup is a single machine because running things over the network is a bit funky. |
[1188.80 --> 1193.40] My main rig is a Ryzen 3000 series. |
[1193.90 --> 1196.66] 3700X is the sort of beating heart of it. |
[1197.58 --> 1198.68] Yeah, various other parts. |
[1198.68 --> 1202.96] It runs Proxmox because virtual machines are great. |
[1202.96 --> 1204.62] Do you use VMs for a lot of stuff? |
[1204.70 --> 1207.44] Because I know you're into sort of the one big VM. |
[1207.74 --> 1215.64] We often have this discussion on Discord about the one big VM versus lots of smaller like LXC containers and Docker containers and things like that. |
[1215.74 --> 1218.12] What's your philosophy on that? |
[1218.12 --> 1222.14] If I'm running a hypervisor with VMs, I'd rather not do that. |
[1222.14 --> 1233.54] I'd rather have sort of everything nicely containerized to fully take advantage of VMs in their sort of natural habitat of what they're good for. |
[1233.54 --> 1239.56] So I think my setup is currently six VMs or so spread most of the different uses. |
[1239.56 --> 1247.88] There is still one single LXC container which runs Docker, which has most of my Docker applications in. |
[1248.00 --> 1251.94] There's probably 10 or so containers running under that. |
[1251.94 --> 1258.04] Besides that, I've got a separate one for my monitoring applications. |
[1258.22 --> 1259.52] That would be Prometheus. |
[1259.70 --> 1260.94] Again, your advice. |
[1261.84 --> 1262.34] Grafana. |
[1262.76 --> 1268.00] I've got a separate VM for Home Assistant, which runs Home Assistant OS. |
[1268.00 --> 1276.22] A couple other ones, one which deals with Ingress coming into my house, which is an interesting setup, which I'm sure we'll touch on later. |
[1277.40 --> 1280.30] And yeah, various other little things. |
[1280.58 --> 1289.92] The other place I've diverted away from what you've previously done is I've also moved the storage out of the one big VM. |
[1290.08 --> 1292.62] And so storage is handled directly on the host. |
[1292.94 --> 1293.40] Why is that then? |
[1293.40 --> 1300.50] The main reason for that is I tried running TrueNAS in a VM and it installed great. |
[1300.86 --> 1302.28] I could access all my files. |
[1302.44 --> 1307.42] The issue was that performance was horrible, absolutely horrible. |
[1308.50 --> 1310.66] I just got latency spikes everywhere. |
[1310.88 --> 1312.76] Nextcloud, ground to halt. |
[1313.74 --> 1318.18] SQ Lite over NFS is a really, really bad time. |
[1318.24 --> 1319.16] I don't recommend it to anyone. |
[1319.60 --> 1321.08] So talk us through that a little bit more then. |
[1321.08 --> 1323.52] You know, performance was bad. |
