  • What are your favorite low-footprint self-hosted services?

    Jump

  • Mobile: Fossify Calendar with DavX5 as the interface (both from FDroid)

    Laptop: Vivaldi's built-in Calendar

    Tablets around the house: Home Assitant's calendar (I don't recall the specific integration, but it was a HACS one from memory)

  • NaiHe – lightweight E2E encrypted chat over any self-hosted MQTT broker

    Jump

  • Why the 1-off release with no further development? (9 months ago)

    Interestimg take though, using MQTT instead of XMPP

  • What are your favorite low-footprint self-hosted services?

    Jump

  • Radicale - I ditched Nextcloud for it as no-one needed to see a calendar, it's on their phone...

    I also use it to sync a calendar for Home Assistant too

    And it effectively backs up my Contacts too.

  • Correct.

    That conversation has finished, the dust has settled and syncthing-fork is fine.

  • What’s the currently best way to manage TOTP tokens?

    Jump

  • Yep, that's the one... ie not the one I was using.

    'K thanks.. looks lile I need to swap.

  • What’s the currently best way to manage TOTP tokens?

    Jump

  • Hmmm.

    I've just noticed that FDroid FreeOTP (no "+") is newer (updated 3 weeks ago) than FreeOTP+ (updated 2 years ago)... which I thought it was a fork of...

    Ok, thanks, I might have to reassess...

    @solrize@lemmy.ml - I presume you're using the non-plus version??

  • What’s the currently best way to manage TOTP tokens?

    Jump

  • +1 for FreeOTP+ - been using it for a while and it does everything I need.

  • Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?

    Jump

  • I'm kinda with you, with a slight change: raspberrys that can't run Arch Linux on Arm run Raspberry Pi OS, so, almost Debian.

    Everything else: Arch.

    (Oh... and pfSense on FreeBSD... but let's not muddy the water)

  • Popular self-hosting services worth running

    Jump

  • Radicale just implements CalDAV and CardDAV so use any clients you want.

    I'm mostly using the Fossify from F-Droid - their calendar, contacts, all work with DAVx5 syncing to radicale and it works fine... no 3rd party tracking my dentist appointments.

    I also have TrackerControl running on my phone, so I know that there's no tracking.

  • Popular self-hosting services worth running

    Jump

  • True... could be both... or perhaps copyparty.

    I was thinking more along the colab side, where syncthing is working on your laptop and mine to sync our files, rather than central storage, but fair point.

  • Popular self-hosting services worth running

    Jump

  • Or, just radicale and syncthing (if you don't need a webUI)

  • ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI

    Jump

  • This EMQX?

    Seems it's no longer FOSS?

    I've been using Gotify for a few notifications from Home Assistant and it doesn't appear to be eating my battery.

    It's a little more responsive than ntfy - sometimes ntfy doesn't alert for ages after the trigger (could be phone power saving the wifi...), but then I also get realerts from yesterday.... not had that with Gotify.

  • What's your self-hosting success of the week?

    Jump

  • Just looking at my NAS now...

    I used to use Kopia to backup to a Backblaze B2 bucket, but I've moved to Restic as I can backup over ssh to a NAS at a family member's home and to a Hetzner storage box.

  • What's your self-hosting success of the week?

    Jump

  • Use the one that makes most sense to you for restores.

    Backup a folder, then restore it somewhere else... if any of the applications causes you problems for your setup, move on.

  • Simple inexpensive cloud backup?

    Jump

  • Another +1 for Hetzner.

    I did an initial backup of my music (so I wasn't concerned about encryption) with plain old rsync to get a feel for the system first, do a restore, etc. to feel comfortable with it all - and see if there were any hidden costs.

    Then I wiped all that and moved over to rclone to encrypt my data into different chunks (photos, music, work, etc)

    It all worked well and they even skipped charging me 1 month becuase I hadn't exceeded their minimum charge (rolls up to the following month)

    I've had proactive emails from them notifying me of work which might have reduced my ability to access their system, but ad it was outside the time of my backups, then no issue.

  • Introducing Habitat - A Social Platform for Local Communities

    Jump

  • A post introducing a graphical web-based system would be remiss if an image of that graphical system was missing.

    Of course you can block those posts (if that function is.enabled) , but you'd be missing out on many discussions.

  • How do you effectively backup your high capacity (20+ TB) local NAS?

    Jump

  • No worries, I don't have a time limit on responses 😉

    But... I took somethong like ~3 days to get an initial baxkup done.

    Then ~3 years later I was at a different provider doing the same thing.

    What I did do differently was to split the data into different backup pools (ie photos, music, work, etc) rather than 1 monolithic pool... that'll make a difference.

    Jump

  • Hmmm... I have a spare Pi kicking about, I might give this a go.

    Before I go looking for stuff, did you need a BT adapter to get better range, etc?
