Hi there, Welcome to Stetsed’s Guides 👋

Hey nobody who is reading this, been a while since the last post, why not make an update about something actually interesting, writing a HTTP server from scratch in rust using only the standard rust library. Why? I have always enjoyed coding, however the hardest part for me was keeping it interesting for myself, because I get distracted pretty quickly. So I usually don’t get much enjoyment out excercises or other stuff like that, I like to dive in the deep end as one might say, and either learn to swim or drown. ...

One of the greatest problems in homelabbing/selfhosting is notifications, now you could use e-mail but let’s be honest it’s a pain in the ass to deal with. But some applications only support e-mail so.. what do we do? We turn those e-mail notifications into another form, and because we wanna selfhost it we gonna also selfhost the actual delivery of the e-mail with the use of a neat program called ntfy.sh which allows us to get push notifications while mostly being selfhosted. ...

Hey everybody, today we will be going through on how to setup a Grafana + Prometheus stack to allow you to monitor external tools such as Blocky and other services that can output to prometheus(Basically anything with some effort).

We will be using docker and docker compose to set it up with bind mounts so that trasnfering data is easy. ...

Hey everybody, quick guide today as I could find very little info on this so decided to write this.

Setup Installing the required package So this is what I forgot to do when setting it up which is installing the required package which is nfs-kernel-server, so go ahead and install that with apt. ...

Requirments 2 or more Proxmox VE 8 nodes Root access to all nodes An IP you designate as a floating IP Setup First let’s go ahead and install keepalived ...

Hey everybody, quick guide today on how to manually set the fan speed on your Dell iDrac. This is useful if you want to lower the noise of your Dell server.

Hey everybody, I usually don’t have notifications because well… I don’t want to get a third party email service to send emails. So when looking for solutions I recently found Mailrise which acts as a SMTP gateway and forwards emails to your own email address.

Hey everybody, per a request from the Reddit post I made asking for idears which can be found here. I have decided to explain how to setup a Hugo Blog like I have done with this blog. We will be using the papermod theme which can be found here. I will also be using Github Actions to automatically build and deploy the blog to github pages. Nothing would stop you from deploying this to your own server using something like NGINX, and I may make a follow up post on how to do this. ...
