What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday!

  • Wait, is that possible? I thought gadgetbridge didn't work with Garmin! Nedd to check this out. Thanks for the inspiration!

    • Is waiting for the Pixel Tablet 2 my only option?

  • I got the Pixel Tablet. But, if you're in the market today, you may want to take a look at the Framework 2 in 1

    • SOLVED FOR ME

    Omnivore Alternatives?

  • Take a look at Linkding. Run the latest-plus version to archive pages and get reader mode features. You can use Linkdy as the Android app for it. I'm unsure about the RSS features though.

    I think a separate FreshRSS container would be better for that though, and you can use ReadYou as the Android app.

    • A/S/L

  • 29/M/UK

    • type the distro you use and is and let your keyboard finish it

  • Fedora is a good choice for this use case and I would recommend it for the use case of the Linux ecosystem.

    • Any non-tech-background self-hosters?

  • Background in biology and insurance - major career transition but yes, I love self-hosting! Have about 37 services running!

    • Why don’t you like Apple?

  • They've redefined privacy to be privacy from everyone except themselves, and then indoctrinated people that they are the most privacy conscious company.

    • Is waiting for the Pixel Tablet 2 my only option?

  • I'm in the UK - pretty good. Haven't had any major issues, using Lebara and EE

    • Is waiting for the Pixel Tablet 2 my only option?

  • Yeah, I did consider it - you can see the last point in the original post - basically I feel these are extremely underpowered and I'm not sure about Linux's support for hardware and whether its truly tablet ready. I'd love to hear any opinions on the contrary if you've used these devices though

    • Is waiting for the Pixel Tablet 2 my only option?

  • I'm pretty happy with my Pixel 6 for now, and carrying around that bulky phone doesn't make sense for me personally.

    • Is waiting for the Pixel Tablet 2 my only option?

  • Cool. I guess I'll have to reconsider the current Pixel tablet again then - without the dock though, don't think that's worth it. Thanks!

    • Is waiting for the Pixel Tablet 2 my only option?

  • Do you have the dock too? Is that at all helpful?

    Is waiting for the Pixel Tablet 2 my only option?

    I'm looking for a tablet to last me at least 4-5 years doing -

    • Reading via Linkding, Audiobookshelf and Kavita
    • Note taking via Notesnook
    • Light media streaming via Jellyfin

    I've been looking forward to the Google Pixel Tablet 2 to put "The OS that must not be named" on it and have a highly privacy respecting device. The current Pixel tablet just has a lot of drawbacks - support timeline is limited, speakers aren't good, display is mehh etc. But of course Google didn't announce the new tablet, most likely putting it off until next year.

    I've considered a few options -

    • iPad Air - don't have an Apple account, and frankly don't want to get into their ecosystem in general.
    • Surface Go - Unavailable in the UK and the kernel required has some missing features as well.
    • Generic Android tablets from Samsung, Lenovo etc - Don't want a device where I can't fully control what the OS is doing, and I've used LineageOS, and didn't really like it.
    • Generic Windows tablets from Dell, Leno

    How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?

  • 30 docker stacks

    5mins a day involving updates and checking github for release notes

    15 minutes a day "acquiring" stuff for the server

    • Fairphone Fairbuds launch with replaceable batteries, titanium drivers and ANC

  • Is their app open source?

    • Notification when new app versions are released

  • Check out WhatsupDocker. I use the same to inform me of updates. It is self-hostable as well. I then use the WUD widget for homepage to let me know that there's an update available on my dashboard

    • Which apps began to interoperate with FB Messenger?

  • Has there been official communication from Signal that they won't?

    • Your first distribution

  • Pop!_OS in mid 2021. Switched to Fedora GNOME in mid 2022, haven't looked back, but am looking forward to Fedora COSMIC.

    • Self hosted security cameras?

  • For software I'd recommend using Frigate for ally the processing and then integrating it with Home Assistant.

    • Sync files and Joplin notes on local network as well as mobile data

  • You can deploy the Joplin sync server using docker on a VPS or any other computer always on. I've been using it for about a year now, without issues, though I'm now transitioning to Notesnook now.

    • what's your experience with paperless?

  • I had a lot of false starts with having to upload and tag >3000 documents initially. Finally made the leap and did it in December. I now use it regularly, but am still getting used to the new dynamic, but that's a transitional thing. Overall, enjoy it and look forward to more features!

    The mobile app is a separate project, and is meant as a companion app rather than full fledged, which I understand. Though, it is still lacking.
