With the recent discussions around replacing Spotify with selfhosted services and the possibilities to obtain the music itself, I've been finally setting up Navidrome. I had to do quite a bit of reorganization to do with my existing collection (beets helping a ton) but now it's in a neatly organized structure and I'm enjoying it everywhere. I get most of my stuff from Bandcamp but I have a big catalog from when I've still had a large physical collection.

I'm also still working on my docker quasi gitops stack. I've cleaned up my compose files and put the secrets in env files where I hadn't already, checked them into my new forgejo instance and (mostly) configured renovate. Komodo is about to get productive but I couldn't find the time yet. Also I need to figure out how to check in secrets in a secure way. I know some but I haven't tried those with Komodo yet. This close of my fully automated update-on-merge compose stacks!

I've also been doing these for quite a while and decided to sometimes post them in !selfhosting@slrpnk.net to possibly help moving a bit from the biggest Lemmy instance, even though this community as it is is perfectly fine as well as it seems.

What's going on on your servers? Anything you are trying to pursue at the moment?

I have a Dell R220 and a R240 which I’m looking to offload, free. They’re both specifically for short racks if you happen to be near central NC.

Funny you should say that! If I was still over in that part of the country I'd absolutely take you up. There is a local used IT shop near me and I was really excited to purchase some of those for a good deal. Then found out that they only update their online inventory when you click add to cart. Long story short, the prices were too good to be true and they didn't have any left in stock.

Out of curiosity, what has been your experience on noise and power consumption with your r220 and r240 servers?

They’re pretty decent. Really depends on the temperature.

If the room is cool you hear the hard drives over the chassis fans. Power is totally dependent on the CPU. I put a 4790k in the R220 and it would sit around 45-55w average with two 3.5” drives.
