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.

    audience already agrees that complicity in genocide is an acceptable tradeoff to software freedoms I talked about that to show one possible counterbalance between liberty and usages which are probably not explicitly wanted by the authors. Another common example of freedom/restrictions is someone wanting to have their software permissively licensed while also not allowing cloud vendors to resell access to it. That's how you end up with licenses like Elastic's. Or, if you want another example of "free", look at the distinction between the GPL and the BSD license as it applies to Sony and the Playstation. One of the reason Sony chose BSD for the basis of its gaming system is because the BSD license allows for commercial usage. In that sense it is MORE free than the GPL, which would not allow the type of usage Sony did with the Playstation without conferring more responsibility to Sony, for instance, releasing their source. Under BSD they have no obligation to do so, hence it is more free in that respect. My whole point is a lot of people say "I want my software to be freely licensed" but they do not realize that they may be unintentionally opening the door to usages of the software that they do not want to see. One should not pick a license that allows for unfettered usage of the software if you have certain ways you don't want to see it used. As a final parting example, look at Prusa and their printers. They release the firmware and designs as open source. They they later get angry when companies clone their designs. This is permissible under the license. This is making Prusa want to lock down their future designs to avoid that usage. Anyone considering licensing of their own software should think very carefully about what usages they support or object to and license the software accordingly. If you release your software as BSD licensed and some company comes along and makes a billion dollars with it, you aren't owned a cent under that agreement. If this makes you angry, don't pick BSD.

    I'm not spotting it. "AI" is only mentioned once. The key and secret in the docker compose don't seem to be API keys, but keys for directus itself (which upon a careful reread of the article, I realize is not FOSS, which might be anpther reason people don't like it"). Directus does seem to have some integration with openai, but it requires at least an api key and this blog post doesn't mention any of that. The current setup they are using doesn't seem to actually connect to openai at all.

    I want to believe you have given this some thought, but for someone with as long a sea log as yours, you seem to have forgotten what happened when we "gave it time to sort itself out" for other services that are now completely entrenched in our lives and have made them worse for it. apps for everything not raising more complaint about the erosion of our privacy by private corporations not defending open standards like PDF and now PDFs are a security and compatibility nightmare "hey, maybe subscription models can be applied to printer ink" etc, ad nauseum AI itself is fine, and its been used for good (solving protein folding). But AI in just about everything else is awful. It wastes energy and water. It is actively making people dumber. I'm fighting a losing battle at work with fools who wholesale believe AI answers on any question and others who literally vibe code. If you truly believe ai is going to be better in the long run, you have not been paying attention to the last 30 years of technology becoming trash.

    Yeah that might end up being necessary, I haven't found any easy solution to provide the 5A/5V required by a Pi5. Still pondering the power supply issue.

    You also could just use Ansible Cloud init adds overhead to a clean Debian install. I've never really liked it personally.

    I also like Stalwart. It's easy to setup and does its job very well. I'm just a bit nervous that the development team consists of one (!) person. Btw, can anyone recommend an e-mail client that speaks JMAP?
  • Please, for the love of god, look at other things instead of Ansible.

    ArchiveBox strikes me as being a rickety pile of hacks, but it does mostly do its job out of the box. The built-in search is abysmal however and must be replaced with one of the other options to be useful.

    I went through this about 6 months ago. Just build playbooks from basic to specific. I did so in three parts: Container creation Basic settings common to all my hosts Specific service config & software Ansible assumes you have a hierarchy of roles to apply for each service, so layering playbooks this way should help

    Got the prompt earlier this week. Haven't seen any noticeable increase in its DNS requests, but it's not impossible that the hostnames it's reaching out to just aren't in my MANY block lists. 271 blocks today and all the same old- analytics.plex.tv.

    Yea, gotta be something odd with your setup. Currently I have one phone (of several) thats syncing en excess of 10,000 files, some only on Wifi (with 3 access points), some wifi/cell data. ST knows the state of a file, so a disconnect should have no effect. If you're getting corrupted files, I wonder if something else is going on which may also affect another sync tool. Try Resilio for the same folders, see if you have the same problem (disable Syncthing of course, otherwise conflicting edits will cause file corruption).

    $ sudo docker exec -it searxng sh -c "id" uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) container is running as root, so there shouldn't be any permission error? u are right its not writable, the files are read only, that is wierd I'm opening those files with windows but the user permission inside docker shouldn't cause that problem. I'm scratching my head nw user id
