  • Tips on speeding up remote connection to personal server?

    Jump

  • The maximum internet speed you get is the speed of the slowest link in between your house, your ISP, any other network in the middle, and the ISP you are using to connect your remote device to the internet itself

    On top of that, put tailscale. Assuming packets go directly between home and your remote device, then tailscale should not impact. But if the packets do go trough a tailscale server, like you have no public IP address at home, or CG-NAT, then that will be the bottleneck most probably.

    Tailscale on itself isn't a measurable overhead.

    In general, for home network speed, consider your home UPLOAD speed (as that will the seen as "download" speed from outside) not the download speed, which is often many times faster.

  • Does anybody know what's going on with Calibre Web Automated? [Solved]

    Jump

  • There is an active fork which job is to accept public patches before they are accepted in cwa. The fork acknowledge that cwa development speed is not that fast, privilege on stability.

    I switched on the fork happily

  • Self-Host Weekly (19 June 2026)

    Jump

  • hosting it since long time... Amazing! Great to be able to play directly in browser. My kid loves it....

  • Is there room for Windows selfhosters?

    Jump

  • It's a myth.

    Yes it takes longer, but specialy on headless server updates are pretty fast

    Big boys like LibreOffice Firefox have also pre built binaries if you so prefer as well ..

    I use Gentoo since amd k6-400 MHz times so today build times feel like no wait at all

  • Removed

    LuisCore MCP server — LuisCore inference-scale runtime substrate

    Jump

  • Low effort post?

    What even is LuisCore?

    No not much of the words let me understand what it does, except it has a new shiny feature about blah blah super specific mumble.

  • Is there room for Windows selfhosters?

    Jump

  • Lowering the entry barrier is a good thing... Self hosting need critical mass to support and use all the nice things we like to selfhost

    More so, from the point of view of big tech independence, for those who care, again lowering the barrier is very important

    So welcome to docker and stuff, I use docker for half my stuff or more, it's just so much more convenient.

    But never stop trying to understand and don't be a passive docker-puller whenever possible :)

  • Is there room for Windows selfhosters?

    Jump

  • Now, let me be polemical here ....

    (And this is to be read with a pinch of /s)

    Selfhosting on windows and understanding what you do is so much better than selfhost on CasaOS/ZimaOS/FancyWebGui/Synology and just spin up containers randomly without even understand what a container is and how it does work at all ...

    Now roast me :)

  • Is there room for Windows selfhosters?

    Jump

  • I don't think that Linux is in the title or description of this community!

    You pick your own poison ....

    Mine is Gentoo Linux all the way, yours is Windows. Find two more selfhosters and they will criticize both of us! We are kind of the two extreme of the spectrum....

    Welcome!

  • Radicale: Can someone please offer any guidance on usage and security. Om abit lost

    Jump

  • Thank you! I recently updated from Dokuwiki to Leaf wiki. Best decision ever. Not because Dokuwiki was bad, but I am truly fed up with php dependency.

  • Radicale: Can someone please offer any guidance on usage and security. Om abit lost

    Jump

  • Yes, there aren't many options that is not idea but it works fine

    Jump

  • You forget about that UI. Only used to create users. Then use. Cardiac/cal app like Dav5X on Android or similar to connect and do all the stuff like create, import etc

    See my wiki at https://wiki.gardiol.org/7-services/radicale

    It also shows how to install infCloud to get an actual web GUI to use calendars from your server

  • Where is the love for conduit? Everybody is preferring continuwuity or tuwunel?

    Jump

  • To my knowledge conduit is basically dead in the water. Very little updates if any.

    When I chooses my matrix server, o went with the predecessor of Continuwuity and then migrated to Continuwuity and have been happy ever since....

    Tuwunnel don't know, I didn't really appreciated the corporate backing somehow and lack of perceived transparency.

    Is conduit actually still in business at all?

  • Email ownership, I give up.

    Jump

  • Yes ... That is what pissed me...

    But half day of cussing and swearing helped

  • Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years

    Jump

  • Isn't that the plesk added value?

  • Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years

    Jump

  • Agree. I went directly with Jellyfin because I joined late the party, but never regret it.

    So can't comment on Plex, because I never used it. But I see the news and see the enshittified path it's going on with Plex

    I understand that they need revenue, specially if they actually provide the bandwidth to let you access your media from outside home. I also understand why people is mad, but I guess convenience come with a price, of you don't want to pay for it, there are alternatives I don't see anything bad in switching to jellyfin.

  • Email ownership, I give up.

    Jump

  • I fully understand your point, but the mailcow as open relay seems strange. Anyway, it's a risk/cost tradeoff right? Everybody should do it's own assessment and experimentation. But after the initial setup, it's zero maintenance. The only maintenance i do is keep the stack regularly updated, and it broke twice in 20+ years (dovecot new config format, WTF...)

  • Email ownership, I give up.

    Jump

  • Isn't that the gist of selfhosting?

    Yes you can do it, yes you can have it done for you by somebody else. The first is fun, and risky, the second is less fun and less risky. We are all here for the fun... and probably we all don't care too much of the risks. But why shut down everybody who ask about email selfhosting with a don't do it? Let them try, make errors and fix them, maybe they learn something new, maybe it works out for them

    What is the worst that might come out of it? Some spam? A blacklist? Come on, you can survive both. Don't use your primary email account as self hosted from the beginning maybe, to mitigate all those risks, no?

  • Email ownership, I give up.

    Jump

  • Because 99% of helfhosters pull containers, with zero understanding of what they do. They they try email, because heck why not also email, and hit the wall of actually must understand what you are doing or else...

    Yes probably selfhosting email is for advanced users, people who at least know how to manage a DNS record and how nwtworking works. Maybe it's just that selfhosting bar has dropped significantly thanks to docker, and indeed email hosting is a bit more complex that just "docker compose pull" approach.

    Yet i think people should not be scaring others so easily on email self hosting, it's perfectly doable and fun to do. Maybe don't switch your primary account just imediately to mitigate risks...

  • Email ownership, I give up.

    Jump

  • I fully agree with you.

    but i guess, from other replyies, people are just afraid somehow and have deep rooted fears about email and self hosting it. The people like you and me who have actually done it, understand that's not that impossible.

    And like with anything you learn only doing it, not fearing it. Maybe don't switch your main account just from day 0 and see how it goes... :)
