What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread
-
I'm still using Docker Rootless, which I want to change for Podman since Rootless is second-class for Docker, but I haven't been able to read the documentation enough to understand Podman Quadlets to migrate my compose files, and there are some incompatible configurations so even if using
podlet, I have to edit some things manually.I also want to migrate to MicroOS if possible in my server, but I'm still testing things in a VM to understand enough and the cost-benefit u.u

This is what I found, a Discord bot. Hopefully GP comes back with an answer.
-
Wow. I was thinking of setting up immich. Why is it crippling your unraid server?
-
I setup a VPN for my moms Synology so I can request and download media for her through my local qbit instance and using Radarr/Sonarr to move the files over.
I have a problem where both arrs don't auto start when I power up the debian VM in Proxmox even though the daemon is running and restart policy is set to always...
She doesn't make a lot of requests so I just go and start them manually but I would eventually like to get it fixed..
-
Today I'm experimenting with Ansible. Wanna try setting up a Docker hosted RSS reader with it. Hopefully will write up controls for my whole Docker server with Ansible once I'm more familiar.

Thanks! This is very helpful! I really appreciate it!

It might be some way, however not easily. My mega-corpo ISP blocks incoming connections on common hosting ports, because they want to
keep the network safesell expensive home-business plans. LolI'm also very amateur at this as I go along, and I'm not sure I'm ready to deal with the fallout of missing some security step and getting my server botted or ransomwared lol.
I haven't done the hardware stuff with setting up my own router/firewall box either, for instance.
So Tailscale works really well for me by seemingly magically bypassing a lot of that nonsense and giving me less to worry about. They allow 3 users for free, but have a relatively inexpensive family plan for like 6 users as well, if that becomes necessary.
I mainly just need to tell them not to try and use my server as an exit node if they're across the country
.But yeah definitely, I'm using this as a way to test the waters for running service alternatives as the web we knew collapses around us lol. I'm not ready to be running something people really rely on yet, though.

Hehe I think you might have been replying to a different thread.
-
Honestly I'm not sure. I had the ML on my AMD gaming PC but the other (metadata and thumbnail) services were still on the unraid server.. Photoprism doesn't have that issue at all..
I've switched back to PP until I sort out the microservices..
-
My girlfriends phone was having issues connecting to self hosted servers, so I set her DNS from private to network default. Hope this helps and android users that may have issues.
-
No problem. They really should spend about 10 hours having somebody make a GUI for it
-
I already saw copyparty but it appears to me to be a pretty large codebase for something so simple. I don't want to have to keep up with that because there's no way I'm reading and vetting all that code; it becomes a security problem.
It is still easier and infinitely more secure to grab a USB drive, a bicycle and just haul ass across town. Takes less time, too.
-
Linksys MR7360. I just got official support, so i had to install a snapshot and manually install luci.
Why this one? Because it was 50% off due to a local shop closing. Last one on the shelf too.
-
You could always toss it in a sandbox for some isolation
but yeah I get you, all of the optional features does mean more code.It's a shame that browsers make stuff like chunked uploading so tricky, so even just the essentials would be a fair bit of logic -- and you won't get optimal upload speeds without sending chunks in parallel. And the corruption detection is also worth its weight in gold... Ah well, it is what it is hehe
-
I kinda shied away from tailscale because "I wanted to do it on my own" but I've just set up tailscale (while on a train no less) and it was really simple ... Guess I'll run with it for now
now I'll just have to set up the send/receive scripts but that's just some BASHing my head against a wall 
Thanks for the suggestion!
-
I have no idea lmao, prob a type, I had streams and pleroma as well
-
I initially fd it up because I didnt deselect everything but the apps, but I at least thought to backitup and dload it locally beforehand so it was an easy/quick recovery

I'm running Nextcloud and PaperlessNXG on my servers. Over the last few months I tested out my remote management. Now that I'm back home, I've been making a few adjustments based on my learnings. Firstly, Wireguard is slower than a turtle, while Tailscale has been a little bit faster. I'm guessing this is due to my upload speed and switching to fiber may fix this.
I'd also like to add TubeArchivist back in since there's some great videos that I don't trust Google to preserve given the direction things are going.
The folks on the "privacy" Lemmy gave me some good tips on app replacements and after making a big spreadsheet with all my apps, their licenses, etc., I cut down my remaining proprietary apps by at least 50% and I only have a few proprietary essentials that still depend on Google Play. I've been meaning to do this for a long time and I almost have a path towards completely removing all Google, Amazon, and Microsoft products from my life.
Next, I'd like to set up Wander to eventually get rid of Garmin/Strava but I haven't been able to figure it out and I'm still locked in to some degree because of my hardware (Garmin watch). The Ring doorbell has to be the next thing to go, but I'm exhausted and haven't had the motivation to start a new project until the dust settles from the last one.

If you want to have more control about it and become independent of the SaaS offering, you can even selfhost headscale, a FOSS tailscale control server. I run it myself with zero issues.
-
Yeah I saw that. It's definitely intriguing. For now I'm good with the free tailscale but might look into it.
What's your experience with headscale? It's mostly a broker right so probably not to Ressource excessive? I have a small public VPS for getting to my selfhosted infrastructure so I might just add in headscale there
