Using Gitlab Container Registry
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
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
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!

Funky Penguin's Geek Cookbook
I encourage you to look him up on Twitter (for some great shots of his awesome homelab), check out his work at GitHub, spend some time poking around his blog, and you definitely don't want to miss the Geek Cookbook. If you swing him a couple of bucks a month via GitHub Sponsors or his Patreon Page, he'll also give you access to his private premix repository which contains everything you need to get any of the apps in the cookbook up and running within minutes!

[guide] Take your self-hosting to the next level with Docker Swarm (or K8s!)
That was back in 2012.. 10 years later, I'm all-in on containers, orchestration (docker-swarm or Kubernetes) and "GitOps". Along the way, I decided to document my setup / decisions, and this documentation effort has become "Funky Penguin's Geek Cookbook", a trusted guide to configuring a consistent, highly-available Docker Swarm, ensuring that your self-hosted apps are always running, updated, and reproducible.
