What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread
-
It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?
Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.
I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

Helle there ! It still Saturday here
!It recently setup weechat (IRC) and learned about bouncers. From what I understand it's similar to a proxy but with backlogging IRC conversation. I'm still new to it and have a lot a new things to learn.
I'm thinking to self-host my personal bouncer on some cheap VPS.
Other than that was busy with encoding with av1an and encode my bluray library to AV1 codec :).
I also recently self-hosted metube (yt-dlp web frontend) to download some music from RiMusic. Still need to work on a shortcut with HTTPS shortcut on Android !

OpenWRT on a new router. The wifi works better, ethernet works up to 980Mbit/s and I don't have all my traffic routed trough a Huawei device.
And it allows you to configure everything.

I'd score openwrt as a perfect 5/7

I'm currently half way thru building a ZFS array using (5) 8tb Ironwolf Pro drives. I'm modelling and 3d printing a custom drive cage with brackets to hold them all inside the shitty Dell tower case I have dedicated to it. Hoping I can get it done sometime Sunday, I'm on V2 of the drive cage print and it takes like 8 hours to do lol.

Slowly building up my self hosted test env in a VM on my gaming PC.
Most recently playing with homepage so I don't have to remember as many sub domains.
Eventually I will get the *arr stack going so my jellyseerr instance is more automated.
-
Working on testing stalwart... And will need to organize and document properly my various nft rules and routing tables, because its slightly getting out of hand...

I'm starting to see mastodon users on my tiny pixelfed server. It's such a good feeling.
On the sad side, my Lemmy update went south and I had to remove it off my setup. Still looking for a good replacement for max two users. Something dirt simple like GoToSocial turned out to be.

My 8GB soquartz CM4 has a broken memory chip and I can't return it, so I am contemplating whether I should throw it in the oven and hope for the best or whether somebody wants to buy a half broken one unbaked ...

A couple of days ago, after testing it myself for a few months to make sure I understood how everything works, I made the switch to NextCloud Calendar, and will no longer use Google Calendar.
This is the best part though... I somehow convinced my wife to do the same. She let me install the NextCloud app(optional for Calendar stuff but makes the setup easier) and DAVx^5^ on her phone (both from F-Droid, so DAVx^5^ was free). I exported and imported her calendar, and made sure the notifications were set up to her preferred default.
It's multiple days later, and she hasn't complained!
I've also moved all of my contacts over to NextCloud, but have yet to coerce my spouse to do the same.

I. Build a PC for video editing because it was becoming impossible to do on the laptop. I realized that I can use the GPU also to run large language models myself.
So this week I've been setting up ollama and Open WebUI to be able to move some of my queries I ask ChatGPT and ask them on my computer, even if I'm away.
This way I don't need to send sensitive data to the USA and China. It works quite well but I only can use smaller models up to 14B because of the 12 GB VRAM my graphics card only has.
-
Recently set up OliveTin on a pi zero w for some automation scripts I wan to be able to trigger from my mobile. I'm loving it.
-
Which calendar client did you use?
-
Running opnsense here and just plain having my own firewall is the coolest thing.
-
In a web browser I use the NextCloud one. It's functionally very similar to Google and I like it a lot.
For our Android phones, my wife uses the Google Calendar app, and I like Business Calendar Pro.
Both apps you just have to go into the settings once DAVx^5^ has done the initial sync and uncheck all of the Google calendars so they aren't shown, and check the boxes next to the new Calendars.
Exporting and Importing I could only really easily do via the web browser for both.

I had my VPS go down due to a PSU issue. Os there any legal recourse for getting my 0.14% of the monthly cost back?
-
I've been using Fossify Calendar for a while now and it's been pretty great. I moved to it after the whole Simple apps getting sold drama when it happened.

I'm iterating again on my lab setup and moving a few apps that I expose externally to their own VM so I can lock that sucker down even further. Right now I have a few different servers with podman/docker containers grouped by application type. e.g. critical apps: foregjo, nextcloud, vaultwarden. My arr stack. Media consumption. Knowledge & tracking apps, and general apps.
I eventually intend to throw the external apps into a DMZ VM but my network isn't setup to do that right now, so instead I'm getting them set up on their own host and will lock down the firewall to only allow it to communicate with my reverse proxy and nothing else.
It's been fun reworking my Ansible playbooks to do all my server provisioning (still need to figure out Terraform) along with running app installs and updates automatically at the press a button. Working with firewall rules via Ansible was a bit of a headache at first but now I'm in a really good spot.
I'm also testing out linkwarden and hoarder to finally replace what I lost with Omnivore a while ago.

Sorry to pester you, but I'm confused: my google calendar app does not allow removing the original google calendar. How were you able to do so?
And both of your installs can sync from device to NC? I have not been able to get around this... Only one-way sync from NC to davx to 3rd party android calendar.

I lost all my inpsiration after my last install. I've literally just got immich and a raid array. I want to add a few things:
- Public facing website
- Jellyfin
- VPN server
- Individuous
- XMPP
