Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

    I believe Redmine with a few plugin's like: checklists and kanban should do the trick. Also there is a Gantt plug-in, which will enhance the basic one, to make it waaaay more usable.

    Someone had mentioned they contacted one of the majors and said his wife was on dialysis and a heart machine, could they give him instructions to disable the wifi on the TV and they did, with the caveat that it was a permanent thing. So you could try that with a regular smart TV if you can't get these.

    Sounds like you are looking for Opentofu/Terraform. I use Opentofu to fastly create VMs on Proxmox with Cloud Init scripts. In scenario where one VM hosts one service I try to build IaC that way I can destroy VM and create a new one without loosing anything, data nor configuration.

    Open source/libre/foss all have to do with the license. Grayjay doesn't have a license that meets the criteria because it places arbitrary restrictions on the code. It has nothing to do with contributions. You can ship the code on a CD and that is totally fine as long as it has the proper license.

    Why all docker compose files use the managed docker volumes instead of directly mounting a custom directory?

    For me it really depends on the use-case. A lot of times I want persistence but don't really care to access the data outside of the container. So rather than using the extra brainpower to make up folders myself and ensure paths don't change I just let Docker handle those details for me. Also I use Podman a fair amount and it seems to be more troublesome when it comes to bind mounts.

    Here's why I still use Plex: for me Jellyfin hasn't been easy to work the way I want it to. I mostly access my media on an Nvidia Shield, and the Jellyfin Android TV app just refuses to play certain videos; I can play them if I use VLC as an external player, but not within the app itself. The more pressing issue is that Jellyfin just refuses to play 5.1 audio, and downmixes everything to stereo. I have other issues, but these are the ones that prevent me from using it. For me Plex just works.

    Self hosted and open source projects are successful if you enjoy it or are solving something you need. Bonus points if it helps someone else too.

    It causes way more traffic for the DNS server to use a shorter TTL, so yes, it does incur more DNS traffic. In Germany some providers will disconnect you regularly if you stay connected for too long.

    You usually need to trigger a total rebuild to make it part of the same pool, but you could always make it separate vdevs. The best route would be to start with the number of drives you want at least, and upgrade them via replacement as you go.

    I think this can happen if the feed itself (the rss/atom file) has more articles than you specify. As far as I know this setting really only applies to articles it cached that are no longer visible on the feed.

    I have not had any problems on my end. I do know that for encoding, there are some quality issues with AMF when comparing it against Nvidia and Intel at equivalent bitrates that was only resolved with the latest 90xx series, but for Jellyfin purposes it works perfectly fine. I prefer AMD over Intel because for 3D acceleration, AMD wins hands down. I also like AMD CPUs over the absolute power-hungry heaters that are Intel CPUs because it allows me to use lower profile coolers and cheaper PSUs.
