  • Backups of Backups

    Jump

  • I follow the good 9pd 3 2 2 rule. Three backups, in two locations, one is remote.

    First copy on an external hard drive that gets mounted only for that, then unmounted.

    Second copy still at home, on a disk connected to an OpenWRT access point in the patio.

    Third copy on my VPS, so remote.

    Each night restic take care of all that.

  • My own copyparty instance

    Jump

  • I never tested copyparty... Thank you for the test... Nice! I am using OpenList at this time, but CC is also nice.

  • Question about Immich

    Jump

  • Yes it's docker... Immich is only deployed via docker.

    Indeed its your docker mount points / volumes.

  • Should I replace NPM?

    Jump

  • Just use Nginx... It isn't that difficult, after all.

    Or try any one of the "simplified" other proxies out there. I never seen the need for NPM anyway, as it just obfuscate nginx configuration stuff from your eyes.

    You can check my wiki at https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=selfhost%3Anginx

    I wrote for my own benefit, and for others who might be interested.

  • How often do you update software on your servers?

    Jump

  • Gentooer here. Emerge sync &; world daily at night.

    Weekly a manual check for stuff that doesn't autoupdate for reasons.

    Monthly / biweekly podman compose pull for containers. Manual, because i don't trust that kind of autoupdate.

    Edit: opnSense updates are manual only when I remember because if it breaks, I must be at home to fix it or i lose remote access and that's bad.

  • jotty·page - Checklists & Notes made it easy

    Jump

  • I don't care for the pwa since I use Markor on android and syncrhing...

    Yes the looks are ugly and it's been a pain with SSO and auth in general...

    Let me know!

    I like how your project looks more.

  • jotty·page - Checklists & Notes made it easy

    Jump

  • I currently use Silverbullet.MD, which is cool, but a bit too much for my needs.

    Can you tell me the pros of using jotty instead?

  • Has anyone messed around with NonRAID?

    Jump

  • Cool idea!

    But why would I use it? What advantage does I give me over traditional MD? The opportunity to use different filesystems on different disks? Or hot-add already formatted disks? I don't really get it.

  • Photofield v0.20.0 released: dark mode, photo details, best scrollbar, better map, more search filters, etc.

    Jump

  • I love how smooth is photo field, and the way it makes browsing your photos so unique.

    I think it's a neat project!

  • Photofield v0.20.0 released: dark mode, photo details, best scrollbar, better map, more search filters, etc.

    Jump

  • I remember trying it. A very neat idea beautifully implemented. But switched to IMMICH, more features, closer to what I needed.

    Keep up the great job! Having alternatives is always a good thing.

    I loved photofield!

  • What's the best chat to self host?

    Jump

  • Never used calls...

  • What's the best chat to self host?

    Jump

  • I have gone down the matrix rabbit hole but i choose Continuwity, which is the successor to Conduwuit after the community drama.

    It's a rust server alternative to synapse, it's lightweight and works very well.

    Fuck synapse, it's a colossal pain for small servers, not worth it. I also actively avoid anything related to the company behind it since I think they poison what matrix could be.

    I wish I started with XMPP, but now I am selfhosted on matrix, so.

  • Which would be better?

    Jump

  • The GMK seems more configurable and cheaper overall.

    Beside this, there is no real difference as far as Linux support, I think.

  • Question for Selfhosted mail server

    Jump

  • Sure you CAN do it, but it's much more difficult than anything lse to self-host at home.

  • Looking for a relatively cheap camera system

    Jump

  • Dahua where top of the class, unfortunately hard to find today. I run like 8 of them.

    Reolink maybe, but own one and not really at par with Dahua.

    If anybody knows who is the successor to dahua, let me know.

    Chaper than that, sorry, it's going to be shit.

  • Question for Selfhosted mail server

    Jump

  • Don't selfhost email at home. Tons of reasons why won't work, this is only the tip of the iceberg you are facing.

    Indeed selfhost a mailserver, I do, but do it on a VPS. Of course, more the better, but a very cheap VPS is the bare minimum you gonna need.

    No workaround there.

  • TIL Why Everything Is Suddenly So "Extreme" (How Money Works Video)

    Jump

  • A short description or a few lines summarizing would be a better effort and maybe stimulate discussion.

    Blind post of a single you tube link means zero effort to me, so I don't click on it. At best, just clickbait.

  • Self hosted family archive

    Jump

  • Unless you want a photo organizer like Immich, you can upload or better maybe link photos in dokuwik.

    And you can write entire pages with photos, something you cannot do in immich or similar tools.
