  • Ideally, you have at least two systems, test updates in the dev system and only then allow it in prod. So no auto merge in prod in this case or somehow have it check if dev worked.

    Seeing which services are usually fine to update without intervening and tuning your renovate config to it should be sufficient for homelab imho.

    Given that most people are running :latest and just yolo the updates with watchtower or not automated at all, some granular control with renovate is already a big improvement.



















  • There’s not much of it on lemmy yet, but smaller racks (10") have become popular in homelabs for some years now. Many people print encasings for their mini PCs etc. It’s /r/minilab on reddit, on lemmy there’s the not very active lemmy.world/c/minilab

    I built one myself a year ago. I have a small pcengine APU Box for OpnSense firewall, two Lenovo tiny boxes as Proxmox hosts that run as a high available cluster, and a Mini PC with a JBOD as NAS.
