Goofed Home

Hey all, I know the purists might sneer at me for this, but I just spun up a server via Hetzner so I could run Docker in the cloud. Since my ISP uses CGNAT, my only options for hosting services at home are either via Tailscale Funnel or CloudFlare Tunnel. If you remember my previous post about Yattee, that’s not available on the public internet, but was meant for my private use only. The idea behind this new project is hosting things I intend for public access. I’m debating if I’m going to use a domain I already own that ends in the .us TLD or if I should wait until I get paid in a couple of days and buy a new one from Pork Bun that doesn’t have the .us TLD and all the potential baggage that carries. Three questions come to mind:

• 1. How practical is running Portainer on my Docker instance? (I’ve got it installed, but I’m new to Portainer and Docker for the most part.)
  
• 2. Other than Friendica, Mastodon, Matrix, PeerTube and PieFed, what’s worth running on a Docker instance with 8 VCPUs, 16GB of RAM and around 300GB of storage?
  
  • 3. Is there a Matrix room for those wishing to discuss self-hosting, especially via Docker?

I personally have a K3S cluster I host at home and an auto-scaled cluster in Hetzner. I see different use cases and am happy to have both.

One thing to mention is that you can also run your own tunnel with something like pangolin on a VPS (CX23 is plenty). Thus, you could have a cheaper could bill if you wanted a hybrid setup.

Also, I highly recommend moving your node to a data center closer to home.

unfortunately, the American data centers that Hetzner has don’t have any capacity for the type of VPS that I’m interested in. what they do offer for those particular data centers is just entirely too expensive for my budget. That’s why I went with one of the European data centers, as even with the upcoming pricing increase, I’ll be able to actually afford my VPS. Plus, having it outside of American jurisdiction makes me much happier.

As in, it sync how far you are into the audiobook to the story graph every so often?

TIA.

Would be cool, as I use both these and currently just update daily.

I have vaultwarden, navidrome, uptime kuma (on a vps, because it doesn’t make sense to host it on my pi, because if it goes down, I’m not gonna know), pihole (though it’s not currently working with Mullvad), dokuwiki, freshrss, searx, ntfy, and tugtainer (replacement for watchtower since that’s now abandoned).

Welcome! Good to meet you.

Hardware: - hp EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF - i5-8500 - 32 GB RAM - 250 ssd boot disk - 1TB nvme - 2 x 4 TB SSD

I run most of my services via Docker but also in their own LXCs on Proxmox:

• adguard
• borg-backup
• caddy
• forgejo
• filebrowser-quantum
• rackpeek
• opencloud, Baikal, obsidian-live sync
• immich
• paperless
• vikunja
• navidrome, octo-fiesta
• karakeep
• proxmox-backup-server

Next thing I want to set up would be arcane and maybe ansible, audio-bookshelf, and someday some monitoring.

I access my services only via NetBird when I am out and about.

The biggest flaw in my setup as for now is that I only have one device that’s a single point of failure. Since I have remote backups that’s okayish atm. In the future I would try to get ahold of more hardware and separate things out. For someone who just wanted to try things out a little I got my self kind of deep into it haha Performance vice its enough for me as a single user

Also: If anyone has any suggestions what I could do with my Oracle free tier VPS, besides running a Minecraft server, I would be happy to hear ideas :)

Everyone knows that YouTube is a hot mess when it comes to privacy, and I finally got fed up with having to shell out my hard earned money for YouTube Premium. It wasn’t too dificult to find a reasonable solution for my Fedora system… just pop into Gnome Software and install Pipeline. Problem solved there… no tracking, and I only had to deal with the occasional sponsor message in a video. I’ve also got UBlock Origin, Sponsor Block and Dearrow installed in Fire Fox, so things are solved there too. The problem was my iPhone, and how to work around the ads in YouTube there. Thankfully, a little research lled me to an app/server called Yattee. I found a few guides in their documentation about how to install it (it assumes Docker, but I have Podman on my Fedora system and had to modify some instructions slightly to take SELinux into account), and I successfully got it set up. I did have to connect Yattee to an Invidious instance, but that’s quite straightforward to do. Finally, I used Tailscale Serve to create a reverse HTTPS proxy in front of the Yattee server hosted via the Podman instance so I could access the server from the client app on my iPhone regardless of wherever I happen to be. I’ve tested it out, and despite the client being a beta (v2.x) and the server being fairly new as well, it allows me to enjoy YouTube videos without Google’s privacy-invasive BS. Two final notes: 1. The server isn’t exposed to the public internet, and is only available over my tailnet. 2. I use a public Invidious instance, but the integration isn’t for the actual retrieval of videos (that’s handled by the Yattee server, which is YT-DLP based), it’s more for search and metadata retrieval. Maybe not a perfect solution, but it does the job I want it to do.

Yattee Server is just a YT-DLP based back end for Yattee 2.0 (which is currently only available via TestFlight). Yattee 1.0 was actually pulled by the dev from the App Store because it was out of date and broken. Being blind, I can’t tell you the resolution that videos play in, but at least for me they play smoothly with some rare stuttering. From what I can tell, setting things to proxy the videos Directly through Yattee Server leads to a temporary download that lasts for 24 hours, but the playback is slow to start due to the requirement of the download needing to occur first. Once it does play, then the experience is as I described earlier.

Well, this explains that, I’m stuck with Yattee 1.0, which seems to work for me, or at least has the same bugs as Invidious/Piped.

Ever since Readarr was officially discontinued, many forks and replacements have popped up. I’m currently running pennydreadful/bookshelf, which seems to be chugging along. Faustvii/Readarr is also around but seems to not be actively meaintained??

There’s also Chaptarr, which looks promising, but I’ve heard concerns about it being vibe-coded and such (see rreading-glasses: “I do not endorse the vibe-coded Chaptarr project.”). Does anybody know to what extent this is true, and what the code quality is like?

Caliber web isn’t two separate applications, it’s a calibre-compatible database served via http. There is no desktop “calibre” involved.

There is integrated koreader sync, though.

Yep! for a while I deployed Calibre-Web alongside Calibre in a ‘books’ compose.yaml stack using Docker. I used volume mounts to expose my library to both containers. The main thing to be cautious of is that you don’t write to the db from both C and CW at the same time (which could result in corruption). Some folks spin up/down Calibre as-needed, but I had them both running and was just mindful. I personally ended up switching from C+CW to Calibre-Web Automated and fully removing Calibre. I’m able to do everything from CWA that I was doing in both previously. FWIW if you are managing devices (e.g., family, etc.), Kobo devices + Kobo sync via CW/CWA is wonderful for usability (books show up on devices ‘natively’).

They banned the user that did the robust cybersecurity audit. They banned everyone who pointed it out or linked to the post or mentioned it. They took the subreddit private. The clown dev has a donate feature and claims that it will be used to put his daughter through school. Just scum all around.

Personally I prefer my software to give me options, I hate when stuff like this is picked for me when equally valid options exist

CISA flagged two Roundcube Webmail vulnerabilities as actively exploited in attacks and ordered U.S. federal agencies to patch them within three weeks.

thanks just updated then

fuck

I set up a quick demonstration to show risks of curl|bash and how a bad-actor could potentially hide a malicious script.

It’s nothing new or groundbreaking, but I figure it never hurts to have another reminder.

Hahahaha noticed this too. 1.5 was where it was at tho

I think the general response is from confusion over what you could possibly have been using the url bar for in your browser if you didn’t know you could put urls there.

Duplicati never completes a back up to ANY service. I set up the back up, then click run, and it will upload for maybe 3-4 minutes, then it just.. stops. I have tried with large backups, and again with smaller backups. Does it work for anyone else? I have tried different cloud storage services, such as filen and google drive, and it just never finishes. Am i doing something wrong here?

TIA

Try duplicacy. It is not that expensive and it works.

Borgmatic

You can self host the Borg server on another server if you have one (or a friends) and then borgbase offers very good paid backup storage

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

came here to say this. they’re apologetic because they got caught. “bug” my fat arse
