Sorry third post. Trying to summarize.

  1. Get external access. Either via port-forward (you lucky American) or via VPS+ssh-tunnel or VPS+wireguard. Stay away from an hard dependency like tailscale and cloudflare (my personal opinion).

  2. Setup a reverse proxy with SSL certs via let's Encrypt (don't go wildcard, no need to, just add complexity)

That's the concept, implementation requires clearly extra steps...

See my wiki (https://wiki.gardiol.org/). O describe both the simple and the complex solution. But to be honest, the complex solution is not fully described yet.

If you need also external access, because you are behind a CGNAT or in general have no public IP at all, get a VPS and setup some tunneling.

I don't like tailscale/cloudflare dependency so I have a different solution.

I have documented it all here: https://wiki.gardiol.org/

Slap a good reverse proxy in front of it (nginx I what I use) and set it up with HTTPS using let's Encrypt. For added layer of security setup also some SSO like Authelia.

Or just go the VPN way but then, that will not be access from internet, only via VPN, only you will be accessing it.

Thanks, good to know alternatives to Lemmy.world!

Nothing against .world, but variety and alternatives are the gist of lemmy.

Thanks for the podman restart suggestion!

healthchecks.io seems not free or at least, very not open?

Nice tool! Simple to setup and pretty lightweight. It seems it cannot restart services tough, not monitor them specifically...

First copy on offline USB disk on my server itself. Disk is turned on, backup done, disk goes off. Once a day.

Second copy on a USB drive connected to an OpenWRT router of my home, the furthest away from the server (in case of fire, I could be able to grab either of the two).

Third copy offsite on a VPS.

I use restic & backrest with great satisfaction.

Feel you mate. Done that 29 years ago, still suffering today.

But happy about that!

My house has two furnaces: one gas (methane, or city gas) which I only use for water heating (showers, etc) and one wood pellet. They both warm up water in the heaters circuit, and can be used at the same way.

The gas one is more expensive to run (400€/month), but require zero maintenance, except some predictive maintenance like cleaning filters once a year in summertime.

The wood pellet one is way cheaper to operate (1.5k€/year, for 9 months of operation) but require weekly cleaning and daily fuel loading. Also for this one once a year maintenance is mandatory, deep cleaning, replacing some perishable parts and so on.

So, yes, every furnace require periodical maintenance to operate properly, and should work just fine for 10 or even 20 years if you are careful and do the proper maintenance.

Today's kids play the adult role, eager to get older, pushed by advertising and social media.

Meanwhile, adults try to be the child they couldn't be, now with money and freedom to be a childish idiot.

What a world.

Let kids play and be responsible adults.

Selfhost wiki (personal) (wiki.gardiol.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I have finally got my selfhost wiki up to a satisfying shape. Its here: https://wiki.gardiol.org

Take a look i hope it can help somebody.

I am open to any suggestions about it.

Note: the most original part is the one about multi-homed routing and failbacks and advanced routing.

 

Hi fellow sailors,

i have lots of downloaded... ISOs... that i need to converto to save space. I would like to make them all of the same size, let's say 720p, and same format, let's say h265.

I am on linux and the... ISOs... are sorted into a neatly named hierarchy of sub-folderds, which i want to preserve too. What is the best tool (CLI) for the scope? I can use ffmpeg with a bash script, but is there anything better suited?

 

Let's say i download an iso for my latest favourite distro and, after unpacking the rar (usenet) i find the right contents but all the filenames are a bunch of hexadecimal strings. The files are legit, but how do i "decode" the names to know which one is file n.1, file n.2 and so on?

 

Buongiorno sportivi di Feddit! Che sport praticate?

Io mi sono avvicinato al podismo e al triathlon da un anno circa, lo faccio per piacere e perché vedo che mi fa stare bene su tutta la linea (non solo quella fisica).

E soprattutto, che marca di orologio smart usate? Tutti Garmin o ci sono eccezioni?

 

Qualcuno che scarica, diciamo..., tante ISO di Linux, usate VPN in Italia o no? E se si, quale?

Le scaricate tramite Usenet o solo Torrent?

Io sto sperimentando usenet ma mi pare ci siamo poche ISO on italiano...

I use Joplin and I do like it very much, but I would like to be able to at least view (not edit) the notes from web browser... Which is not supported.

Are there good alternatives that are:

  • fully open source
  • have android client
  • have web client or viewer
  • can be synched VOA WebDAV or native method

I can also settle for a Joplin web viewer of sorts!

UPDATE: i opened up a can of worms. I would have never tought there would be so many tools for this task, and so many different shades of how it can be done. Even excluding ALL the non-truly-FOSS solutions out there, there are still tons of tools with good points and bad points. Of course, NONE fits my bill so i will spin mine… Joking, i have no time for that.

Using joplib-webview feels too much. Spinning containers just for that meh. Will try tough. The joplin .md files are only "sync" files, from which yo ucan probably extract the notes. But that would be not the best idea. Maybe some kind of link to Joplin terminal would be the way forward. I will see.

I will stay on Joplin, it's the closest i could find to what i need, the only lacking is a web viewer, which i can live without for the time being after all.

Thank you all, and to anybody still chiming in!

After all the amazing reviews and post i read immich I decided to give it a try.

To be honest I am quite impressed, it's fast and polished, it just works.

But I found a few quirks, and hit a wall with the developer that doesn't seems kind to listen to users that much (on these issues at least!)

Maybe you guys have suggestions?

Here I go:

One: it does not support base URLs, witch means that I had to spin a dedicated sub domain to be able to access it over internet while all my other services are on a single sub domain. I can work with that, but why. Dev already shut this request down in the past as "insecure". Which I find baffling. (I mean use mydomain/immich instead of immich.mydomain)

Two: auth cannot be tied to reverse proxy. I get it, it provides OAuth. But it's much more complex than proxy based auth... And overkill for many cases, mine for sure.

Three: impossible to disable authentication at all, which would just work fine in my use case. There is a switch that seems for that, but no, it's only for using OAuth.

Four: I cannot find a way to browse by location, only by map. (Locations list seems to be half baked unless I am missing something).

Five: no way to deploy on bare metal, and I tried! due to lack of documentation (only info I found where very very outdated), and no willingness to provide info about that either. Seems that docker is so much better that supporting bare metal is a waste of time.

Six: basically impossible to manage easily public albums. like a public landing page. I get this might be outside immich scope.

Seven: even if now you can import existing libraries, it still does not detect albums withinbthem (sub folders) which is very annoying.

So, overall its a great project and very promising, faster and more reliable than Libre Photos in my use case, but still lacking some basic features that the Dev seems not interested in adding. He developed it to please his wife, I get it :) - no pun intended, doing all this take lots of time, I know.

These are the alternatives I know of:

Photo prism requires a subscription for reverse Geo coding.

LibrePhotos feels sluggish and kind if abandoned.

Are there any others? (Piwigo and Lytchee are great tools, but different kind of tools)

Let's hope for immich, Dev is working a lit, let's hope for the best.

 

Hi! Question in the title.

I get that its super easy to setup. But its really worthwhile to have something that:

  • runs everything as root (not many well built images with proper useranagement it seems)
  • you cannot really know which stuff is in the images: you must trust who built it
  • lots of mess in the system (mounts, fake networks, rules...)

I always host on bare metal when I can, but sometimes (immich, I look at you!) Seems almost impossible.

I get docker in a work environment, but on self hosted? Is it really worth while? I would like to hear your opinions fellow hosters.

Sono cliente FWA Vodafone da un anno, ogni volta che c'è un problema e chiamo il 190 (successo tre volte) nei giorni seguenti vengo bombardato di chiamate fastidiose e ripetitive da un callcenter (lo stesso?) che mi propone di passare a TIM perché tanto Vodafone non funzionerà mai per (... Motivi improbabili e tecnicamente assurdi... ). Solo dopo che li mando a vagare più volte viene pii risolto il problema su Vodafone.

Sono paranoico o è capitato ad altri?

(Sono sempre tutti call center che rispondono dall'Albania)

PS: dal 26/12 ho 0.03mb/sec, il ticket di supporto tecnico Vodafone "va avanti" solamente dopo che ho risposto a bestemmie alle gentili operatrici del call center Albanese di TIM... Secondo me sono lo stesso call center del 190 che fa il doppio lavoro...)

Aggiornamento: ho candidamente chiesto al call center. Mi hanno detto che lo stesso call center gestisce entrambi gli operatori tramite lo stesso software, per cui vedono le segnalazioni aperte e to chiamano sperando che tu cambi operatore, loro guadagnano a commissione sui contratti chiusi...

Bella serietà da parte di Vodafone e TIM servirsi di call center cosi "shady".

 

Well, i decided to brush up my simple HTML page and created a fully linked wiki on the subject. Please take a look, in the hope it will be useful for at least one fellow one-eyed leg-pegged passionate data hoarder.

Any hints or suggestions is appreciated.
