    Isn't this a bit more steps than using Overseer?

    It’s more work to set up, but a much easier experience if you have users who can’t remotely access Overseerr. You always have to account for the “mom factor” when hosting services; Will your mom be able to learn how to use it? My mom can use Discord, but good luck getting her to learn Tailscale to access my Overseerr remotely.

      I host foregejo, but I have a small problem. I can’t get my ssh keys to work for cloning repos. I can’t only use https.

      Is port 22 accessible and pointed at it? You could also run it on an alternate port and specify that port in your ssh config.

        discord bot for my families group chat server. I know it doesn't really mesh well with the mentality of selfhosting but it works for us.
        I'm able to do silly stuff like each person getting a 'score' that gets taken down or up when they say something good/bad and people react to it

          Would you recommend the Discord bridge? I've always wanted to install that as well. Is there anything I want to know before putting in the effort to install and configure it?

          As far as I know the Discord bridge has some limitations, the major one being that IIRC it doesn't atually support calls. But just for chatting across servers it has worked well for me.

          There's also the fact that you have to either trust the project with your password (as in, the the bridfe adds a matrix bot that runs on your server, but needs your pssword), since I think it uses the web version in the background (but then you can also use it for DMs and any server), or set up a bot on the discord server you want to bridge, which obviously cant be done if you're not an admin. It's a foss project, but there's always a small risk of it gping rogue.

              That plus a browser extension that finds the right rss feed for you like get rss feed url on firefox.

              I copy the rss with the extension
              Then I paste that into five filters
              Use that to give it to fresh rss which will get me a nice looking post with images and text

                  I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.

                  For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten.

                    You've just made me waste the next 2 days, because this sounds great! Only thing I'm a bit hesitant about is trusting all bridge makers. I'm a bit more aware that I use a lot of FOSS where it could be easy for the dev's to just go rogue. But that's still better than giving it away to some closed source company.

                    WhenI was setting it up, it took me only like two hours tops. The ansible project is well documented, has a clear setup guide, and the process is really just getting server with ssh access, changing DNS, changing around 5 values in the ansible config and running it.

                        I’m using a different port and have it in my config.
                        Sadly that didn’t work too 😭

                          If you don’t mind me asking, how/on which criteria does auto-sort and -categorization work? Scanning file name and contents? But then you’d have to pre-define some sort of keywords, no?

                          Yes, you have to set attributes and clients.
                          First documents you have to set everything yourself but it gets usefull really fast.
                          I just scan a letter, and look througout the day if it was correct recognized and maybe correct it

                            You can predefine keywords/phrases, yes. But there are many other options. You can tag different documents based on how they wherer ingressed (which e-Mail they came/were sent to from for example).
                            I have it set up so that my scanner has a few different quick action buttons which atomatically upload the documents into different folders (think bills, helthcare, bank, etc.) Then paperless tags and sorts them based on those folders.

                            I also does machine-learning when enabled which works ok in my experience.

                              I'm hodsting my own Matrix server with WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and Messenger bridge. I have all my IMs in one app, don't have to install spyware on my phone, and I can make bots that troll annoying people that message me on any platform.

                              Hosting it was super simple, thanks to the Ansible project that's extremely robust and well done, I literally just got a hosting, domain amd changed like 5 config values to enable the bridges I wanted, gave it an IP and ssh key, and ran it. And if I need to update, I literally "just update" (it's all wrapped up into "just" tool), and it eve handles cases where I didn't update for a while, failing graciously and telling me what I need to do maually, usually just rename some config values.

                              I wholly recommend it. You probably wont convince your friends to switch from <insert app here>, and this is the best compromise.

                              I'm using a small instance on Hetzner, for 6$ a month. You could in theory get a free oracle cloud instance for it, but I didn't manage to get one.

                                    Paperless - Pay slips, Bank statements, MOT records, Insurance policies, User manuals, restaurant menus. All filed and searchable. Letters I get are photographed, uploaded and immediately disposed of, zero stress.

                                      When I was looking into matrix bridges I heard a bunch of stories about people getting their accounts blocked after using them through the bridges. Is this still an issue?

                                        I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.

                                        For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten.
                                        Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.

                                        What is that service for you?

                                        The one that was way more useful then expected is immich. I have over 100,000 photos I took during my life and it usually takes me DAYS to find a specific picture I need.

                                        I installed immich and let it AI scan everything for a week or something. Now I can search for something specific like “it’s a black square in the middle of the photo and has a little knob on it” and it finds me the photo I need.

                                        It’s also cool to see photos of people, organized by the individual by searching their name or clicking on their face.

                                          Sadly it doesn't work with CrowdSec which is the biggest thing I would want notifications on (bans and such) and Gotify isn't the pub/sub MQTT-style that I like about ntfy...

                                          Ntfy can act as an email server if you configure it. So if an application is not supporting ntfy directly but email, you can go that route. Ntfy will then simply forward the email as push notification. Its also pretty simple to set up, used this as a workaround because authelia doesn't support it directly. Here is the link to the specific ntfy documentation: https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#e-mail-publishing
