  • New self-hosting apps

    Since I bought new RAM with double the capacity (32 GB now) for my TrueNAS, I had more room to try out new self-hosting apps. So, new on the blo(ck/g) (checkout https://kittsteiner.blog/self-hosting/) are:

    • CO2MqttSensor
    • Kaneo
    • Keycloak
    • Open Archiver
    • Paperless-ngx
  • CO2MqttSensor as Docker app in TrueNAS

    After a very interesting (German) toot about a CO₂ sensor I also purchased such a sensor (TFA Dostman AIRCO₂NTROL MINI) and of course my goal was to have it as sensor within Home Assistant. Luckily, there already is a project to collect the sensor data via MQTT, called CO2MqttSensor. Unfortunately at first, while it’s possible to get it running via shell in TrueNAS, it is not recommended, since it would require to install a system service to stay running. But there is a solution via a Docker app!

  • TrueNAS upgraded

    I just upgraded my TrueNAS from 24.10 Electric Eel to 25.10.0 Goldeye and already with the update step 25.04 in between I’ll notice the much more snappy UI.

    Needed to update the password of my SMB user, though. It seems that this has been getting lost somewhere on the road. And I need to add an empty services key to all my custom apps. But this is totally manageable.

    Thank to everyone involved! ❤️

  • Testing OpenCloud

    I recently discovered OwnCloud Infinite Scale, but couldn’t find much information about the installation, etc., even though it sounded interesting (building OwnCloud from scratch in Go sounds promising instead of using PHP, as the old version and also NextCloud do).

    Fast forward to this week, I stumbled upon OpenCloud, a fork of OwnCloud Infinite Scale, with an easy to find documentation.

    So, I now test it on my TrueNAS Community, whether it can replace my current Seafile solution. So far, it probably can.

  • Local Ente.io instance

    I finally got my self-hosting instance of Ente.io running smoothly on TrueNAS SCALE, even with an embarrassing configuration mistake. 🥲🎉

    Now let’s test if it’s better than Immich.
