What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread
-
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.
-
Set up paperless-ngx and cannot get my scanner to send a scan to a FTP server. It supposedly supports sending to FTP but doesn't have much documentation for it. I've tried FTPS, SFTP, and unsecured FTP. Both secure types just cause it to error out. But with unsecured the scanner just freezes then reboots. Really annoying me. I'm about to give up and just scan to s USB thumb drive then copy the scans to the server.
-
I had to have my scanner scan to a windows VM that saves it to a network drive for paperless to injest. Its not my favorite solution but at least I don't have to manually move the files around
-
I'm eternally sitting here putting off migrating my homelab from docker to rootless podman due to some rather janky patterns I use. It might be super smooth or it might not so instead I just wait in endless decision paralysis
-
Find a new service you like, add it using rootless podman. That way you can test it without affecting your running system.
-
I more mean replacing the runtime etc, I've got some running on another machine and had some difficulty wrapping my head around the subuid and subgid stuff, so in theory I should be fine but it's an irrational worry lol
-
I have setup a immich docker container and am slowly moving users and images from google photos.
-
how are you trying to run podman?
If you just want a similar setup as with docker I'll recommend this:
https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/tutorials/rootless_tutorial.md
Lingering (running services without login / after logout)
https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/12001
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/462845/how-to-apply-lingering-immedeately#462867
sudo loginctl enable-linger <user>
https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/vendor/github.com/containers/storage/storage.conf
Check out the storage.conf to use the fuse-overlay driver.
I like podman-compose and i have a start up script that restarts all my containers at reboot, as my user.
Also use the full link to your images, like docker.io/image oder where ever you get your images from.
have fun

I ended up just adapting my composes to run commands, on my desktop I don't mind having to manually start them at boot, I could easily make a simple thing to just run at boot and just say
podman run <container>as most of my containers depend on others so I can just start the child-most container and it'll start them all. I just have some shenanigans where I use one container as a VPN for the other ones, which is a bit messy if using rootless.
I'll have a look into the links and see if there's anything new in there I haven't seen before but yeah, nothing unsolveable I'm just needlessly putting things off lol -
Have you tried a packet capture with Wireshark or tcpdump to see what it's doing? It might give better clues than a general error message.

Crazy enough, I have everything going that I want to on my server!
- *arr suite and jellyfin
- traefik reverse proxy with crowdsec + bouncer for some sites (e.g. not documents or media)
- paperless-ngx for documents
- immich for photos
- leantime to manage personal projects
- Book stack for a personal wiki
- calibre-web for my library
- syncthing for file and music syncing so I don't have to stream music
- valheim server for me and my friends
- boinc for turning my server to a productive heater in the winter
- home assistant for my in-renovation smart home
As far as my server goes, I have everything I need. Maybe setting up something for sharing files over the web if needed. I used nextcloud for that before it killed itself completely and I realized I never really needed it.
Next is working on my smart home because we had to fully strip the house to renovate. KNX first, zwave for things that KNX doesn't have or are crazy expensive, ESPHome for everything that the other two can't accomplish. Minimal 2.4GHz interference and don't have to rely as much as possible on flaky wireless in a brick house.
-
Isn't one of the main benefits of scale(/25?) that you can run docker containers? Makes paperless pretty easy
-
Sounds annoying to debug, glad you found the culprit!
-
I sometimes create them a Nextcloud account and send them the credentials
-
Weird, I've heard exactly the opposite, some people are running Lemmy on a dual core. Just get a drive big enough if you plan to follow many communities. Guess I'll try anyways
-
Cool enough!
