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.

    You could get around with a normal file share service (assuming you already are using one) via tinyurl or similar redirect. I don't know how much the free services track you or if they have other security implications, but I have couple of domains laying around and it would be pretty trivial to just create HTTP redirect from "class-a.up.mydomain.foo" to my nextcloud upload link.

    Well, they said they wanted decentralized, and decentralization comes w/ caveats. I'm just providing options.

    Yeah, video streaming is not a good thing to put on a limited bandwidth server either directly or as a VPN or proxy passing data. Best bet would be if you can set up a reverse proxy on your router and have that accept all inbound requests and direct to the correct internal server and port.

    Stalwart recently released CalDAV & CardDAV support, and it's what I use for mail. It's pretty secure by default too.

    I tried and bounced off of several of the other popular auth providers over the years. PocketID was the first one I found reasonable to set up and configure.

    They have a list here of the models with performance and RAM usage data: https://immich.app/docs/features/searching/ You kind of just have to pick one, try it, and see if it crashes from low memory. Also enable OpenVINO HWaccel, because it will be extremely slow otherwise.

    Really great. Passing through hardware is a lot easier, settings can be defined in profiles (containers that should start with boot, which should have uid/gid mapping, privileged, etc), and overall system memory usage is way lower.

    Fortunately someone else at work already set up a redmine one (they did it by mistake, actually, long story; but at least we already know it works). So I'm taking a look at this (slash or OpenProject) in conjunction with kanboard first to see what sticks.

    Webbian provides a full X session with Debian and Firefox in a browser via Docker. Change the command to firefox and it would just start that vs the full X session. So you could have remote Firefox in Firefox. https://github.com/Fmstrat/webbian/

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

    Literally 90% of my compose looks like this. But volumes makes it easier with permissions as the maintainer doesnt have to provide any infornation to noobs like me.

    It's even better than that. In WordPress, you can select a plug-in from within your WordPress administration, and install it directly. You receive update notifications by email, and can upgrade within the administration panel as well. You don't have to download and then upload anything. In both Drupal and WordPress, you can upgrade the site and plugins/modules from CPanel.

    Maybe give https://vdo.ninja/?screenshare=&quality=0 a try? That's also completely WebRTC direct connection based. Saved as a bookmark it's simple to spin up a stream, so the chat decision is disconnected from the streaming.

    Docker seems to have gained more ground than LXC They aren't really competing in the same space. LXC is more comparable to jails or openvz in that they provide an os layer, Docker does not. I recently saw docker described in a web comic where some poor dev was bemoaning that his software "worked on his machine", and his teacher says "then we'll ship your machine", meaning Docker sets up a software environment for a project to work, nothing more. Docker was at first based on lxc, but has since moved to its own libcontainer.

    I've enjoyed my NVIDIA Shield, though it's arguably a bit long in the tooth if they're still full price.
