Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

    Monetary needs and all that. If it’s a startup with VC then there is either not enough people paying or not enough private users supporting by other means like bug fixing, support, etc. Or greed by VC. Well, VC is greedy by design. A VC-funded business will never be optimized for longevity, a good product or happy customers. They may achieve those things en passant, but they're never the objective. For example: Any case of "there is not enough people paying" can also be rendered as "the scale and moving speed of the business is way off".

    I use Joplin with a self hosted WebDAV for syncing. Works like a charms on all my devices.

    I'm not familiar with paperless-ngx, but it should really be doing this on its own. If it doesn't, and you're not able to edit the config, you should probably open a bug report. If you're just using this to send mail to yourself, though, you can work around it by sending direct to Gmail with unauthenticated SMTP. I have this configured on a couple systems. You might need to hit "not spam" on the messages a couple times because they'll probably get flagged at first.

    I have two 4TB in Raid 10 (ZFS Mirror) and two 8TB as the same. All in TrueNAS Scale. TrueNAS is pretty good for a basic setup imo!

    That, and a lot of questions about ease of use too, but I answered them neutral because some are bears to set up, others are one click. Idk it depends.

    I definitely don't suggest self hosting email unless you don't care about losing messages occasionally

    I think it’s overkill for homelab How about a remote VPS?

    I'm guessing the cloudflared daemon isn't connecting to jellyfin. You want to use http://. Also is jellyfin the hostname of the VM? Using localhost or 127.0.0.1 might be better ways to specify the same VM without relying on DNS for anything. Personal opinion, but I wouldn't bother with fail2ban, it's a bit of effort to get it to work with cloudflare tunnel and easy to lock yourself out. Cloudflare's own zero trust feature would be more secure and only need fiddling around cloudflare's dashboard.

    Yes I do that, and it does help me a lot to understand what I’m doing it’s just I’m a top down type of guy. Like I don’t like messing with anything unless I fully understand it, which often makes me very unproductive. I decided to not be that way with this self hosting thing because I realized I would never get around to it with that mentality. Better to break shit as I go.

    I am fortunate enough to only manage a homelab and not an enterprise sized network. So I don't document anything just like at work.

    $ sudo docker exec -it searxng sh -c "id" uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) container is running as root, so there shouldn't be any permission error? u are right its not writable, the files are read only, that is wierd I'm opening those files with windows but the user permission inside docker shouldn't cause that problem. I'm scratching my head nw user id

    I don't necessarily disagree with this in theory, as you gotta have some reach in order to spread your message. I forget the name of the particular situation (people don't use it because it's not popular, and it's not popular because people don't use it.....etc etc) That said, Twitter is a cesspool. Bluesky has enough users that it shouldn't be an issue reaching out via that instead.

    Might be worth a shot but unfortunately Octoprint recommends at least a Pi 3. I tried it myself on a 2B and had nonstop issues with print quality from stutters while the Pi was sending gcode to the printer. As soon as I swapped to a 4B the problems disappeared.

    I'm trying to get Dawarich up on my server via Docker. It runs via local IP, but when I access via domain.com:6001 (port I've set in docker-compose.yml), I get error stating this is not allowed host and I should add it via config.hosts << "domain.com:6001" When I do add domain.com:6001 to APPLICATION_HOSTS in environment in docker-compose and create new containers with compose up -d, I still get error. I've also tried this, but the port seems to throw it off and not including the port does the same. [image: 4921cc04-48e7-45b9-b44e-49f02bf5914b.jpeg]

    I've heard good things about Incus, otherwise Proxmox is the default these days.
