Using Gitlab Container Registry
1 project | /r/HomelabOS | 6 Mar 2022

Anyone able to setup the container registry feature of Gitlab when running under HomelabOS? Seems like some of the configuration is already done in the Docker Compose file but I'm not seeing the container registry listed in my project as you would see here.
Trilium Losing Settings after Reboot
2 projects | /r/HomelabOS | 5 Dec 2021

I've been bumping into this same issue, it looks like the Trilium container isn't saving anything into it's trilium-data/ volume. The docker-compose.yml for HomeLabOS omits setting the TRILIUM_DATA_DIR environment variable to the data volume as in Trilium's docker-compose.yml.

not in gzip format
1 project | /r/HomelabOS | 3 Sep 2021

The https://gitlab.com/NickBusey/HomelabOS/-/archive/v0.8.4/HomelabOS-v0.8.4.tar.gz file is broken and can't be extracted, which leads the install script to fail with a "gzip: stdin: not in gzip format" error!

Portainer looks popular but it's actually not easy to use, can't see which container is upgradable and doesn't even care to support mobile.
I found an alternative which is still a very young project but I've replaced Portainer.
