What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread
-
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? -
Thank you for replies, I'm grateful.

It's for a streaming service.

Maybe something like Copyparty would be what you're looking for?

If hardware service counts.
I have been fighting for the last few months with my Promxox server telling me a drive went read only , from a SSD and even a HDD, very odd behavior and it finally pulled the last straw with me last Thursday. I had a 4TB drive acting as my Storage/backup drive which this complained about so I put a 1TB drive in which is pretty much 2 yrs old so plenty of life on it.I went through and tested the SSD with extended tests and it passed with flying colors, so it dawned on me, maybe it's the SATA data cable, and sure enough, it was. When I had run the
sudo smartctl -x -T permissive /dev/sdbit only presented very little information on it, swapping the cable and it now presents the full SMART data and stats as it should. Additionally, it's been more stable with the performance so far. So I call that a win.In the software side, I have been going through the Home Assistant instance and removing dead/old entities I never had gotten to removing

Thanks for the recommendation. It’s looking pretty interesting. I’m surprised I haven’t heard about it until now. How’s your experience overall? What other OS’s have you tried? I’ve tried Proxmox, then TrueNAS, but I settled on Unraid. (The Unraid server died on me. When I turned it on, I couldn’t access the web UI. Sometimes, when I press the power button, it doesn’t turn on. )

I bought a coral tpu and setup frigate. I've been tweaking the alerts and motions. Moving home assistant notifications from reolink to frigate. Was thinking of singing up for frigate+ for additional animal objects. Has anyone signed up for frigate+? Is it worth it?

On a related note, it would be nice if there was a shared storage option for self hosting. It wouldn't be the same as self hosting, but more like distributed hosting where everyone pools storage they have available and we could have an encrypted sharing option.

Does this service provide the proper end point for the stream?

Recently set up Nextcloud, but ran into trouble getting it to connect with a domain because of Starlink being the ISP. Found out about tailscale and have been getting things connected and accessible with Tailscale’s magic DNS that it uses.
Currently trying to figure out how to use the iOS tailscale app to connect to an exit node, which will be my server at home, but it’s not easy. Apparently it can be done through the shortcuts and automation on the iPhone, but can’t sort out a way to connect easily that doesn’t throw errors with no good documentation to say what I’ve done wrong.

Set up an instance of Supabase for an application I'm building that needs a REST backend. So far, so good, using it's Auth functions for OTP login and they work well.

I’m 3 time zones away from my server and it hasn’t crashed yet after being gone for 3 days. I’m very proud of it.

I've been slowly, but steadily, migrating the services I run on my TrueNAS CORE (FreeBSD) from Jails to Debian VMs so I can migrate to TrueNAS 25 (no more SCALE it seems, and Linux) around April without many hurdles, hopefully.
Besides having to learn some systemd, it has been a smooth ride.
Now I'm down to the last 2 services, which I think are the most complicated setups I have and with no nice deb packages to ease installation: Paperless-ngx and Photoprism.
I'll probably look into playing with Containers to have the same lightweight and efficiency as Jails once the migration to Linux is done. But honestly, if everything is running nicely, I won't be very motivated to do so, let's see.
