  • My thoughts shopping around for a wiki solution

    Jump

  • +1 for logseq... it literally saved my life when I changed jobs, nothing else came close.

    However, the original markdown version has really slowed down development whilst the newer db version is slowly catching up, so, I'd rcommend the MD version for now, but people might want to hold for a little while...

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

    Jump

  • What's your recovery needs?

    It's ok to take 6 months to backup to a cloud provider, but do you need all your data to be recovered in a short period of time? If so, cloud isn't the solution, you'd need a duplicate set of drives nearby (but not close enough for the same flood, fire, etc.

    But, if you're ok waiting for the data to download again (and check the storage provider costs for that specific scenario), then your main factor is how much data changes after that initial 1st upload.

  • In a different location

  • LibreOffice Online, a self-hostable libre office environment, is coming back!

    Jump

  • Some new EU funding in the background?

    I'm quite happy with local apps, but I could see the appeal for self-hosting if the server would scale for the client (ie laptop on the desk vs mobile phone on the road)

  • Using huntarr? Perhaps you shouldn't.

    Jump

  • You're here, that's a good start...

    I tend to look at a project's Issues tracker, that gives me a feel for how the author(s) deal with feedback... some projects have hundreds of open tickets with barely any interactions, yet code updates "2 days ago".

    Being here and reading about who's using what will help remove the major outliers

    All opensource needs more eyeballs, which is still the advantage over closed source.

  • How do I access my services from outside?

    Jump

  • How'd you setup the port knocking? Is that something caddy does?

    I'm using haproxy and was thinking of trying the same thing... not sure if haproxy supports it though, or whether I have to do something else ...?

  • Here Are Your Choices for a Self-hosted eBook Server

    Jump

  • Ok, good point.

    This would be local only so they can up/download ebooks here and share with the family - when they're here.

    Thanks

  • Here Are Your Choices for a Self-hosted eBook Server

    Jump

  • So... if my SO is buying ebooks from the Kobo store, can they upload to Calibre (etc) and then someone else can download it?

    They read a heap of books and want to share them with their family... who are on Kindles, with that DRM nonsense (boooo)

  • What can you host with limited bandwidth but lots of storage?

    Jump

  • Yeah, this.

    It's annoying as hell waiting 6 weeks for someone to come online with that last 3%.

    Anything I find like that I seed as long as I can

  • home system setup advice

    Jump

  • Yeah, I agree... I want (and have) a NAS... and a separate Server.

    The NAS is a NAS, not a TrueNas running my firewall, making coffee and keeping the house warm.

    I also agree with OMV for someone starting out. I stuck with it until it got a little too containerised for my own liking and ended up building my NAS out of standard Arch because I now knew what features I wanted.

    And my Proxmox is on a passively cooled small, silent, box in my home office. It will be upgraded to Incus on plain Arch one day because, again, I now know what features I want / don't want.

    For OP, try things, break things, try other things... just make sure you have backups 😉

  • big list of selfhosted chat apps to meet all your friends on a real "server"

    Jump

  • Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app?

    Jump

  • Yeah, we're using Conversations and it's fine for most things.

    Will be self hosting prosidy "sooon"... and it'll all be in-house.

  • Non-US cloud storage for backup?

    Jump

  • This is good, if they:

      1. Understand & trust what you're doing and don't fiddle with it
      1. Don't understand and just don't fiddle with it

    Luckily I have a family member that fits one of those categories.

  • +1 for Hetzner

    I'm using restic to encrypt my files (content + filenames)

  • 💞 FairScan > Syncthing > Paperlees-ngx

    Jump

  • That was all resolved.

    I held off switching until very recently, but reading the githubs, etc. it's all settled down now.

    From memory it was just a bit of a nieve handover (ie "hidden" in the background, not out in public)

  • System Redundancy

    Jump

  • With... or without their knowledge? 😉

    But yeah, there's so many wifis around me, I could probably load balance across them all....

  • System Redundancy

    Jump

  • Wow.

    Ok, that sounds like that has evolved over some time!

  • System Redundancy

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think the firewall has a hardware issue... it reboots, starts stops fine under normal conditions, but, just sometimes a weird glitch throws it off.

    Good point about VRRP, I'll look into that some more as I think that's the open, non-Cisco one.

  • System Redundancy

    Jump

  • That (2 FWs) was what I was considering initially.

    But, looking at some other posts, I'm starting to rethink my design as I only have 1 WAN connection, then I only need 1 FW (maybe). SIM would be rarely used, I'm not sure the overall cost would be worth it

    So separating FW from DHCP & DNS might be a better solution.
