What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread
-
Depends on your contact but most hosters have service agreements where a few days of downtime over the year are covered

Attempting to get my lemmy instance going properly. Got it running on digital ocean but they don't allow outgoing email and reccomend a third party service. I decided to try out Hetzner and am getting errors saying that docker compose isn't installed when running the ansible script.

Nothing so fancy. Just some postgres machines to show off different recovery modes

Scripting enlarging 2400 10x10 png files to 512x512 Stable Diffusion generated images that look like high resolution cityscapes in the style of Salvador Dali. I can't get the API to spit out a single image.

I've been using OVH without issues. How big is your drive space though? Lemmy uses quite a bit. Federation can take some time too.

That's wechat, and this confusion made it really difficult to find the right info on the web... Most search results were linking to the Chinese thing, uhhg !

Same as it ever was.

We finally got our music server set up after a lot of finagling with wireguard. It's really cool; we have slsk-dl set up to batch download our playlists from Soulseek, which we can then play in Jellyfin. Next I'm gonna set up Nextcloud for backing up photos, projects, the whole shebang.

What’s the going rate for half broken vs very broken?
Might be time to shake and bake.

Why is it so hard to send large files?
Obviously I can just dump it on my server and people can download it from a browser but how are they gonna send me anything? I'm not gonna put an upload on my site, that's a security nightmare waiting to happen. HTTP uploads have always been wonky, for me, anyway.
Torrents are very finnicky with 2-peer swarms.
instant.io (torrents...) has never worked right.
I can't ask everyone to install a dedicated piece of software just to very occasionally send me large files

Auto correct changed "it's" to UT's.
You need kind of a beefy server which is not worth it for one or two people. That is why I installed PieFed instead which does the same but plays nicer on a small VPS with fewer resources.

I had a bit of a hiccup with my Unraid server. It wouldn’t turn on, and I got so fed up that I decided to get rid of it. But now, I’m back on the hunt for a new home server OS, and I’m hoping to find one that’s easy to use and has a GUI.
If you were in my shoes in 2025, which one would you pick? -
I've gotten a CalDAV server, audiobookshelf, and selfhosted obsidian live sync running on my laptop while I wait for movers to bring my shit to my house. Then gotta migrate it all across to my mini PC afterwards. Doing a modular NixOS setup to replace/complement what I used to have running on proxmox.
Once everything is on a dedicated machine I'm going to make a nice little homepage for it, inspired by a previous thread here.

Still haven't properly set up my backups ...
Have my Nextcloud on a zfs (single disk sadly) and want to send it to a server at my parents place (also zfs) but both are behind NAT. While I've successfully set up wireguard between the two, but the connection won't stay up so there's still a ways to go till I got a happy off-site Backup. -
Maybe Tailscale could be super useful for this!
-
I spun up a new Plex server with a decent GPU - and decided to try offloading Home Assistant's Preview Voice Assistant TTS/STT to it. That's all working as of yesterday, including an Ollama LLM for processing.
Last on my list is figuring out how to get Home Assistant to help me find my phone.
-
Could you set a 'password' on the uploads? So the server will only accept and start the upload if the password is present. The password is a passphrase to make it easy to type in.
-
Trying to get headrest working in docker. But backups end up filling my host drives docker volume with cached chunks.
Tried setting and volume mounting the cache dir but it still fills up.
Duplicacy worked though so might just stick with that. Just gotta try restoring files now.
-
I'm still a noob but I have been shocked at how easy Cosmos Cloud has been to set up compared to my old docker/portainer/nginx architecture. Things just work with minimal to no troubleshooting
-
Tried to setup custom domains using Nginx Proxy Manager and Let's Encrypt DNS-01 challenges so I wouldn't have to open any ports and it worked!... except not really?
Proxy Manager shows everything was successful but the domains don't go anywhere. It seems to be because the TP-Link router from my ISP does DNS Rebinding protection... with no option to turn it off apparently... why......
So now I don't know where to go. I'm not really fancying hosting DNS myself but if I can't fix this any other way then I guess I'll do it.
Or maybe I should ditch the ISP TP-Link and get something I could flash OpenWRT on?
