So Today I Worked On.. Setting up Gitea
My friend wanted to get practice with git, but didn't want to make any mistakes with github just in case. I set up an instance of gitea on my TrueNAS system to give them a volatile area to mess around in without causing any damage. This hopefully will be a great playground for them to get the experience they need with it without the stress of making a huge mistake on something like a real repo, and also the experience for any future job!
So Today I Worked On.. TrueNAS
I've implemented so many containers in TrueNAS for homeserver functionality. The vital ones that I love so far have been Nextcloud, Immich, Homepage, Paperless-ngx, and Gitea. So many of my items are stored locally now on a server that I control with some failover just in case a drive goes bad.
The hardest part has really been learning the fine points, like creating the UIDs that some of the containers want, and figuring out how to partition the datasets to be efficient. I know I still have a LOT more to learn, especially concerning Docker and “Containerizing” functionality. I'm old-school IT, so this newfangled stuff is suddenly all over the place.
