Self-Hosted Main

My son has a bag which he takes with him to Kindergarten every day. I'd like to throw in something like an Apple AirTag to be able to see where the bag is, but I have a couple of requirements:

• No subscription
• Should work in South Korea (AirTag does not work here)
• Sometimes it's me who brings hem to Kindergarten and I have a Android phone, sometimes it's his mom with a iPhone
• It should be somehow connectable to HomeAssistant as a device tracker to see where the bag is (or at least if it's at home or not)

Any ideas what would work?

Hi there!

Since the last time the LemmyWebhook package gained quite a few new capabilities so I've decided it's time for another post.

Quick intro to the package: It adds support for webhooks to Lemmy, meaning you can get notified of events to automatically react to, instead of having to poll for everything, often using multiple http requests. Everything is done in a quite efficient way which avoids hitting your database as much as possible and if it does, it only uses queries on primary key. You can also (optionally) make it available to other users who can then run their bots on your instance only on the permissions you allow them, meaning if you only grant them access to post events, they don't also get access to new user events.

So, what's new?

• When you listen for an update event, you get the previous version of data in addition to the current one, meaning you can directly compare what has changed
• New function for getting parent comment id have been added, with this you can for example detect if someone is replying to your bot
• You can now listen for community subscribe/unsubscribe event

As usual, let me know what you think, feel free to offer suggestions or ask questions.

I bought a Silicondust HD Homerun back before they put their website on Cloudflare. I love the design of having a tuner with a cat5 port, so the tuner can work with laptops and is not dependent on being installed into a PC.

But now that Silicondust is part of Cloudflare, I will no longer buy their products. I do not patronize Cloudflare patrons.

I would love to have a satellite tuner in a separate external box that:

• tunes into free-to-air content
• has a cat5 connection
• is MythTV compatible

Any hardware suggestions other than #Silicondust?

I've got docker installed and I've got a single container running (vaultwarden) via the docker pull/docker run commands provided on its Github page. I'm not sure how to learn more about that container or how to build (compose?) others myself.

I'd like to learn how to transition nginx and pihole to containers and network them together. I'd also like to add paperless-ngx to my setup.

(note: I'm very new to Linux in general, mostly rpis, poking around with debian now)

I don't need anything else but the shared expense tracking, with multiple people having access to the same expense group.

Edit: I need it to support both Android and iOS. PWA is fine as well.

TL;DR: I installed Proxigram with docker compose up -d and I want to update it to the last commit.

Hi, I'm new to self-hosting and this is the first time I want to update something deployed into a docker. Proxigram seems a very easy one to start with because (AFAIK) there is no data stored. So I think I can just kill the containers, pull the latest version from git and redeploy again with docker compose up -d, right?

I wanted to ask just in case there are better ways I can learn.
Thanks.

Hello, is it possible to convert an existing VPS into a Windows one without the knowledge of the VPS provider? They only have Linux images available however I would like to have a Windows 11 instance to some testing.

Hi guys,

I'm looking for the best solution for deploying gitlab for a small organization (~ 20-30 members). Which solution should I pick to easily maintain?

• install from deb package in vm
• docker container
• k8s
• ...?

What are your experiences?

My wife and I (well, mostly her) have a large and growing inventory of books. A couple thousand in the bookshelves. Aside from me having to figure out where to build more bookshelves into, another challenge we're having is keeping track of what we have.

I'm no newbie to self-hosting, but it's been mostly digital media. I got that stuff covered. Connecting into the house's internal services is already solved too, so it'd be remotely accessible when we need it.

I'm looking for some recommendations on software that'll allow us to build a card catalog of our inventory. The primary use case will be to be able to check if we own a particular book or not so that we know not to buy another copy when we see it at a book sale!

I've been to many book sales, and there's a lot of resellers who swarm the place with barcode scanners that do automatic price lookups on Amazon and other marketplaces. They're pretty quick, and I'd love to be able to use such a barcode scanner on our own inventory to quickly catalog the whole thing.

That all said... if there's another 3rd party service that isn't self-hosted, I'd be open to it too - but running it myself is obviously the first choice.

Open to suggestions!

...and even wondering if I really need to. I am often guilty of making that "one tweak too many", breaking a nice, working system in the process!

I have everything set up according to the best walk-throughs I can find. Have dockerized containers for Nginx Proxy Manager, Authentik and a ton of the standard *arr apps and tools (using OMV as a NAS). Have my own domain name, hosted on Cloudflare, with CNAMES set up, proxied through Cloudflare, pointing back to my main record. I can do full domain name resolution inside my home network, with working HTTPS connections to all my app web GUIs. I also have the ability to private VPN into my home network, using Wireguard, OpenVPN or IPsec.

I would probably be happy to continue to use my VPN connection to the home network when I am remote, BUT... I really would like to give Overseerr access to a couple of remote family members that have access to my Plex library (populated by Sonarr/Radarr). My finger often hovers over the Port Forwarding option on the router, but I ultimately chicken out. Am I being paranoid?? Should I just educate my family members on how to connect to my network via VPN? Anyone else made this choice? Looking for success (and maybe horror) stories before I potentially proceed.

I am using Nextcloud and along with the iOS app, I can automatically upload my iPhone photos as I enter my WiFi but boy, is Nextcloud finicky.

Is there a reliable alternative with an iOS app?

New to self-hosting. I've been looking at the option for selfhosted music streaming to get away from Spotify as I build my collection of music files. I really like Spotify's features for recommending music and auto-playing similar songs. They recently released a new feature called "Jams" where you can join a host's listening session to tailor the music that gets played automatically to each person who joins the listening session. This would be great for having people over to make sure everyone gets a little bit of the music they like and some music to expand their taste.

Does anyone know if there is a feature similar to this in the selfhosting world? If not, I will be looking into coding this feature.

So, I bought a nice Zotac ZBOX with 2TB local storage and 16 GB memory. Installed Debian with k3s and partitioned the disc to have a ZFS pool for the containers. I've set up the ZFS provisioner.

I'm migrating away from an RPi4 with 4GB of memory and docker-compose

I run out of memory and have my pods evicted while not having all my things migrated. Okay, I've got two new things: ArgoCD and Navidrome. But what the heck?

Now I've updated k3s according to the manual (just download the binary and restart). It wouldn't start. Ran the installer instead. During boot-up, two of my ZFS volumes got deleted by the provisioner. F*ck. Luckily no important data on there, just extra work to redo the migration. That's the second time the provisioner kissed a volume goodbye. The first time, I was to blame because I messed up a commit in my ArgoCD repo. Data was faster gone than I could say bye-bye.

I work with Kubernetes daily. K3s seemed a logical choice for managing a more significant environment. I looked into Proxmox, but docker containers are not supported.

I spent every free minute for the past 14 days migrating, but I have my doubts about the correct path. Eventually, I need a stable system.

ZFS was supposed to save me from some of those stupid mistakes. I run Btrfs so far, and snapshots are a lifesaver. Can't wrap my head around them in ZFS. Unfortunately, is the Btrfs provisioner not very widespread/stable.

Any advice or encouragement?

PS: Velero is still on the todo list... :(

Hi all!

I'm looking for a self hosted solution to publish some lists. Item + description.

User registration, user management and item tags is a plus.

My setup is docker, no performance problema, 16GB Ram and i5.

What can I use?

Thanks a lot!

I have working email server and caldav setup. Was wondering if anyone is aware of a single web GUI that can "plugin" into a working email server setup? Rainloop is perfect for email but obviously doesn't have calendar support. I am also aware of sogo, but can't seem to get it to work. So wondering what other options there are in 2023.
