What's going on on your servers? Smooth operations or putting out fires?

I got some tinkering time recently and migrated most of my Docker services to Komodo/Forgejo. Already merged some Renovate PRs to update my containers which feels really smooth.

Have to restructure some of the remaining services before migrating them and after that I want to automate config backup for my OpnSense and TrueNAS machines.

Run most of my containers on a synology 1621+. Immich, paperless, grafana-based monitoring stack, etc. Upgraded memory from 8GB to 32GB and it's a night and day difference. Enough that I'm probably not going to move forward with adding nvme storage for a cache. Wish I did it sooner.

Added donetick to the collection recently and the kids have really latched onto the points system and got them more engaged with helping around the house. Note that if you self host, the password reset function doesn't work. You have to update the hash in the databased directly. Not a big deal but it really shouldn't require that level of effort.

I use scrypted to pipe Unifi POE cameras into HomeKit. Not really a fire, but I'm having issues with notification timing be longer than it used to be.

And lastly, a very very different turn of events for me. I'm not a developer, but I recently did an experiment to see what AI could do in helping me create a web app that could be used to scan all the physical books we have. A catalog of sorts for us to be able to look up what we have by genre, bookshelf location, etc. 100% vibe coding. Took a few hours of back and forth but we have something working. Not sure I'll ever let the code see the light of day outside my network, but it did help me learn a tiny bit about coding.
