  • Nice! I will give it a go as well

    The one thing that is missing from web only apps for me, is that you can't use the android share functionality

  • Notes taking app

    Jump

  • I haven't found a good replacement. I use a combination of syncthing (files), paperless-ngx (pdf), markdown notes (text, lists), memos (todos), radicale (caldav todos), wallabag (web note/archive), images folders and my mobile phone apps (photos/gallery, zettel notes, paperless-ngx app, syncthing).

    I enjoyed Evernote back in the day, but yeah..

  • You can try it right now on the docs, https://silverbullet.md/ . I don't like the color scheme, but it seems quite simple to change

  • Reported UFO sightings. Aliens are very interested in the USA

    Jump

  • When the first dinosaur bone was discovered, noone had heard about it before and people believed that bones they found before were from some animals

    After people knew about dinosaurs they started finding them other places in the world at a rapid pace. Many people thought it was all a hoax

    So you know, unless you know about them you don't know what to report. And americans think most about aliens I guess.

    That being said, probably there aren't secret aliens around. probably 🫣

  • what is everyone using for photos?

    Jump

  • The built-in gallery app on my samsung galaxy phone, in combination with syncthing.

    As long as the phone has enough storage for all your images, this has been my favourite selfhosted solution so far.

    I used Photoprism before, but I could never find an old picture quickly during a conversation. Now I can, 50% of the time 🫣

  • I have been using Zettel notes android app and syncing the md notes on syncthing. I enjoy the experience

    But I recently discovered silverbullet https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet and I think I will give it a try when I get back from holiday. I think it can be combined with syncthing too

  • How do you archive your e-mails? What format should the archive-files have? eml? mbox?

    Jump

  • That's me! I got dovecot in docker working for email archive, and moved all my old emails there. I access them through thunderbird on pc and k-9 mail on phone. Works great!

    It took a bit of time to set up the passwords, and understanding the configuration. I used the lets encrypt certs from caddy.

    I had to look at some different examples of the dovecot config file to get it right

  • The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training

    Jump

  • I occasionally use Brave when I need to cast something to my shield. Is this possible with firefox?

    Most of the time I use Firefox

  • In the mood to self host more stuff and need ideas

    Jump

  • I get a lot of stuff.. The first time i tried to make a docker-compose myself based on docs, and it made the groceries db. But I found out you need a lot of settings for couchdb, so I tried to run the default files, and I got an error on docker-compose.yml file. It wouldn't run due to "restart: always" in the healthcheck of couchdb.

    Now it seems it is complaining about JWT settings, even though I have base64-code in jwt.ini corresponding to the phrase in docker-compose. groceries-server_1 | [07:30:22] ERROR: Cannot access database with encoded JWT key. Please check HMAC entry in jwt.ini. The hmac:_default value should be: c3F1ZWVnZWUtZmxhdG5lc3Mtb2NjdWx0aXN0LWNvbmZ1c2luZw==

    Which corresponds to the jwt.ini [jwt_keys]

    hmac:_default = c3F1ZWVnZWUtZmxhdG5lc3Mtb2NjdWx0aXN0LWNvbmZ1c2luZw==

    I got a bad feeling about the whole thing.. I think I will stick to caldav + tasks.org for my shopping list, it has a much simpler setup..

  • If you had to redo your self hosting setup, what would you do differently this time around?

    Jump

  • I do the same. I use caddy reverse proxy, and find it useful to use the container name for url, and no ports exposed

    What is the benefit for making changes with separate files?

  • link in html header always present

    Jump

  • Aha! Thank you! I tried searching for the whole thing and got nothing. Yes I have it installed

  • In the mood to self host more stuff and need ideas

    Jump

  • groceries got me interested, but I'm not able to get it working in docker. I am trying to run it behind caddy reverse proxy. All the containers are running, and it seems the couchdb database has been created but I get nothing when going to the url of the server and client. Just blank page.

  • How do you guys back up your server?

    Jump

  • I use proxmox server and proxmox backup server (in a VM 🫣) to do encrypted backups.

    A raspberry pi has ssh access to PBS and it rsync all the files, and then uploads them to backblaze using rclone.

    https://2.5admins.com/ recommended "pull" backups, so if someone hacks your server they don't have access to your backups. If the pi is hacked it can mess with everything, but the idea is that is has a smaller attack surface (just ssh).

    PS. If you rclone a lot of files to backblaze use https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list , or else it will get expensive

  • What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life?

    Jump

  • Don't know why you got downvoted. Chatgpt has helped me too wrap my head around programming/scripting - in my case jinja2 in home assistant.

    It might not always be correct, but it helped me getting started!

  • Removed

    Which kind of command/apps you always wanted to self-host but you never bothered doing so because it's "overkill"?

    Jump

  • Yeah I thought about it, but I couldn't quite understand where the files went and how to restore on a new machine..

    I like having everything on server. it takes care of backups, and the laptop/client can be reinstalled without fear

  • That sounds like what I want! Thanks! 🙏

    I was thinking of using it for local email from other self-hosted services, but I am getting too old to set it up

  • Email. I want a local email server where I can move old emails off the internet for archiving.

    But the number of components going into email servers made me stop.. I already have caddy reverse proxy, but finding out how to use it for a email server.. I didn't even get properly started

  • For the Play store, the developer provides a compiled version of the program.

    For F-droid, the source code must be available online, and F-droid compiles the program, not the developer. This way you can be sure the source code is the actual code used.

    Usually the two versions are the same, but sometimes the f-droid version is the play store paid version, but for free.

  • What's your favorite alternate launcher?

    Jump

  • I use Kvaesitso, and have used it for a while now. I like it! https://kvaesitso.mm20.de/

    I don't think it gets bonus points though
