I’ll be getting this as soon as it has speech journals with transcripts! Looks amazing.

Maybe that’s what we all need right now in our journalling

Hi to everyone. I’m looking for a self hosted ntfy alternative which allows file attachment to notifications on iOS, I’m already hosting ntfy but unfortunately the iOS app is very basic and it does not support attachments.

I have to try this, thanks.

That has not been my experience. I use this as described saved to the Home Screen. It notifies me as I’d expect and I regularly send attachments across devices.

So basically, I will be away from home for several weeks. Unfortunately, this became the perfect time for our home router to start acting out and factory resetting itself. We are awaiting a new router for replacement, but the time is tight.

My stuff is ethernetted in, so that connectivity isn’t an issue - the issue is that I couldn’t actually connect to the router to restore services even if it had internet by fixing all the settings including port forwarding.

What I would like would be the ability to have a VPN connected to my homelab, so I can hop on the router and restore the settings if this issue happens while I’m away. Any ideas?

To delegate the responsibility of securing login data. You can also use an external OIDC provider.

Thank you, I set this up and it works 🙂

Progress so far - https://mander.xyz/post/47833580

My next objective is configuring Jellyfin for secure external access. It is fully operational on my LAN and is performing significantly better than the Windows instance I previously ran.

I have installed Tailscale on the Proxmox VE host shell to enable remote access and have also enabled multi-factor authentication on my proxmox account. While everything appears to be functioning properly, I am still relatively new to Tailscale and want to ensure I am implementing this securely.

My initial assumption was that I would also need to install Tailscale within the Jellyfin LXC container. However, I have encountered conflicting information suggesting this may introduce security concerns, particularly when dealing with container privileges and root access. As a result, I am uncertain whether this is the appropriate approach.

What is the recommended and secure method to provide external access to Jellyfin in this setup?

I can open the required port without issue. However, I would like to further educate myself on reverse proxy configurations, as I believe this would be the most secure and appropriate approach. Thank you!

What is the use case? Share with family and friends?

Please forgive any typos, my brian is still very much recovering. I’m not promoting anything cause nothing I’ve made yet is really worth much to anyone but my self,and everything is far from polished. I’m just sharing what I’m doing. In November ‘24, I had a mid level stroke. I’ve had issues with motor skills, headaches, and short term memory, but for the most part I’m doing quite well. For the last 6-8 months, I build a home server, (AMD 3700x, 64GB of RAM, 6TBNvME, and 2x 12TB HDD, old NVIDIA 2060. I setup up Jellyfin, ripped our 400ish Blu Rays, DVDs, and TV Shows. Setup Navidrone, and ripped our CDs, Home Assistant, AudoBookshelf, ConvertX, MeTube, and several other apps mostly discovered here. I also wrote my own app to track our large physical Media Collection that has a few api calls for pulling info about the items., a dashboard app in the style of the old iGoogle, and I’ve started working on 2 other apps, one to track medical information like blood pressure, glucose, doc appts, care team, medications, etc. The other app is for TTRPG GMs to run games that will basically be a digital GM Screen with a dozen or so tools.

I was a web developer for 20 years before the stroke so I had some previous entry level experience with this type of stuff, but not on this level. Mine was more for like corporate websites. My doctor believes this process has indeed sped up my recovery significantly. So this is just a post to say thanks for this community that has given me tons of ideas for things to try.

I hope you get better! Im not active in community, not even a tech savy. I also didnt come up with something to share with community but I like the homelabing hobby (or movement if I can call this like that).

Jellyfin is such a badass app! I borrowed huge DVD’s collection from my grandpa (he had a store back in days) so I have like a bunch of movies only on my Pi5 with Radax (wchich is my only homelab device lol).

Again. I hope you get better fellow stranger from the internet!

Been there done that. It’s much harder than it seems from this post. Your brain suffered severe damage, getting it to work again as good as possible takes huge amounts of energy and will power. Good job bro! (Watch yourself, don’t over do it)

Hello there, good people of lemmy world! It was my mistake to never post Dawarich updates here before and I’m here to fix it! I hope you’ll find it interesting and useful.

In case you don’t know what Dawarich is, it’s your favorite free open-source self-hostable alternative to Google Timeline and your memory’s best friend.

Github: https://github.com/Freika/dawarich

Website: https://dawarich.app/

Last 12 months of my movements across Europe (Germany and Norway mostly haha:https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/899c0e69-730c-4780-9117-3c4a0cc91775.png

Oh well, what a journey. It all started as a simple CRUD app with an endpoint to accept data from the Owntracks app for iOS. The first versions didn’t even have authentication! Why bother, thought I, if I’m the only user. And look at us now.

What do we have now

So, let’s have a look at our current set of features, shall we?

As of today, we have: - Location tracking - Via Dawarich for iOS and Android (yeah we have the Android app now!) - Via GPSLogger, Overland, OwnTracks, Homeassistant, PhoneTrack, Colota and whatnot - Location visualization - On a flat surface or on a globe - As points, routes, heatmap, fog of war - As extra layers, such as scratch map - Visits, areas and places - Can be created manually or detected and suggested automatically - Tags for places, including privacy settings (hide my location history in X meters around a place that have a tag with privacy settings assigned) - Family - With full privacy and location sharing only on consent - Map tools - Places, visits and areas creation - Area selection tool (to show visits and manage points in selected area) - Transportation modes - Replay tool (oh I love it, gonna tell a bit more about it below) - Map search: enter place name or address to see when you visited it - Trips - Utilizing photos integration to show photos along the trip route - Stats - Total distance, points, countries and cities - Per-year and per-month distance traveled charts - Insights - Per-year distance traveled - Traveling heatmap - Countries and cities visited - Days traveled - Year-to-year comparison - Monthly insights - Activity breakdown (stationary vs driving vs walking etc.) - Top visited locations - “When do you travel” patterns - Imports and exports - Almost a dozen of supported file formats to import - Export to GPX, GeoJSON and full user account export

Huh, that’s pretty much it, right? I mean, what a progress. All thanks to you and your support guys.

The Android app release

At the beginning of this year we’ve finally released our own Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zeitflow.dawarich

It’s, of course, still rough around the edges, but I see it as a huge win and an opportunity to do more exciting stuff on the mobiles. The main focus, of course, is the tracking quality, and I think with the most recent release we got there and it works pretty stable now, but what do I know, I only yesterday ordered an android phone for internal tests! :D But seriously, please do share your feedback, it’s crucial for the quality of our apps. Once again — thank you.

By the way, we also have an unofficial android app built by sunstep, a member of Dawarich community: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunstep.dawarich. Check it out as well, he put tremendous amount of work into it. The mobile shift

We’re working on moving the iOS app to the same codebase, as the Android one, so they would effectively share the same UI layer, while keeping native location tracking mechanisms for both platform under the hood. This means that the iOS app will rather soon be updated and both apps will have a green light to receive new features.

This is important, because we want our apps to able to do more. Dawarich started with the idea to bring convenience of the big screen back when Google killed the web-based Timeline, but hey, it’s 2026 and people are running around with phones in their pockets for what, 15 years now? Or more, I didn’t check that, but the idea is that web is awesome, but it’s also very convenient to be able to quickly check your data on your smaller screen while commuting or otherwise not having access to the bigger screen. That’s why we want to bring more viewing functionality to our apps. Trips, stats, insights (they are already there in the Android app by the way) and more.

And, just to make it clear: all 3rd party mobile clients currently supported will be also supported in the future. We have no plans enforcing our users to switch to our official apps. The choice belongs to you. The Replay

Remember I mentioned a replay tool in the feature list? Well, check this out:

sounds of excitement

I initially called it “Timeline” but the actual Timeline was introduced a few days later, so I renamed it to what it is — the Replay button. Love it.

Supporters Badge

More than a hundred people (I think the number is now closer to two hundreds) supported and keep supporting us financially during these two years, and as a small token of appreciation, we’d like to offer a nice shiny Supported Badge that will be shown in your Dawarich UI, see the screenshot.

It glows and changes its colors!:https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/1feacbd9-3b90-45ab-a153-147b0da9e519.png

It’s an optional thing, that can be enabled in Settings -> General -> Supporter Status form. Just enter the email you used to sign in on a platform you supported us through (GitHub Sponsors / Ko-Fi / Patreon), and if it’s in our supporters list, you’ll receive this nice shiny badge. It can be disabled though, in case you don’t like it. No pressure.

The webhooks from GitHub are currently a bit broken, so if you donated via Github Sponsors and verification didn’t work for you, feel free to reach me directly and I’ll add you to the supporters list manually.

What’s next

We already have some new features in progress, so more good stuff is coming. One particular thing I’m super excited about, but I’ll keep it a secret for now. Just wanted to heat up the excitement a bit :D

Aside from the plans for mobile, I’m working on improvements for trips, visits & places (which are begging for an UI/UX rework) and some stuff will be introduced in order to reduce the database sizes of your self-hosted instances. Keep an eye on the releases, it’s all there.

You, the people

Once again, I want to say thank you to all of you: for reading my posts, for installing Dawarich and trying it out, for providing feedback, for creating issues with thorough bug reports on GitHub, for testing our Android app during the beta period, for being part of our Discord community. Thank you to all of our contributors: we have a few PRs with meaningful contributions opened and some already merged, one of them reduced time of our docker images build from ~70 mins to roughly 25 mins. We have a lot of low-hanging fruits waiting to be fixed in our code, simply because I don’t always have time to address all the known issues. Don’t hesitate to dive in and open a PR if you feel like you can improve something in Dawarich.

To save you a scroll, as always, the links one more time:

The work continues, and there will be more, better and faster.

Truely amazing. If only there is an app that won’t completely deain 69% of bayyery in 3 seconds on Android.

Please get the app into f-droid.

Also this is packaged for NixOS, yay!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently selfhosting a website that has quite an audience (~2 000 unique visitors/day) and I’m trying to measure that audience more precisely.

I just want to have a simple report of the most viewed pages, the most popular browser, etc… very very basic stuff.

I want to avoid client-side solution as they can and will very easily be blocked and render my effort completely useless. I had a Matomo until 2023 that registered less than half the visits when compared to my access logs.

I tried to look into GoAccess but it gathers a lot (and I mean A LOOOOOT) of chinese/indian/russian bots which are pretty difficult to filter out (if you have a method, please share it, I’m very curious!).

Is there any way you’re aware of to have decent stats without invading the privacy of my visitors or counting bots?

I’m currently selfhosting a website that has quite an audience (~2 000 unique visitors/day)

That’s something to crow about. Congrats on the site’s success.

I guess the project was abandoned but supposdly spirtually succeed by https://github.com/matomo-org/?footer

I have created a tech content platform with thousands of tech feeds from individual bloggers, open source projects and enterprises.

The content is organised into spaces. In the Selfhosted space, you can find the latest articles about selfhosted apps. In each space you can control the filtering with a threshold parameter.

There is also an RSS feed that you can subscribe to: https://insidestack.it/spaces/selfhosted/rss

Really? Have not noticed anything, but will check metrics at home… And thanks!

Looks like it’s back up, may have been a temp issue.

Playing around with a new self-host NAS OS, finally thought about Tailscale. But, I see it wants a login to an account. Checking online, seems I have to use Google, Apple, MS, Github or OIDC (which iassume costs money based on the site).

So how tf y’all setting to your tail scale stuff? I’m not using a big brother us tech account for auth on this thing. Think I’d rather go back to regular wireguard if that’s the case.

I avoided tailscale for so long because I was already using wireguard and I didn’t know you could self-host with headscale. But once I started using it with headscale the mesh design really is a big improvement to usability. I don’t miss having to carefully manage my config files and ip route rules.

I need to get setup with app connectors and then I think it’ll finally be a high enough wife-usability factor for me to remove some things I still have exposed over the internet.

Thanks for explaining. I really didn’t mean it as a Headscale v Tailscale. kind of thing as far as data security goes. I’ve heard a lot of great things about Headscale. OP was just worried about his data being compromised, and I was just pointing out that it’s pretty tight.

Hi,

I an currently trying to add remote access to 2 of my servers but didn’t manage to get a working setup as is.

Right now I want to access 2 servers: * one is for media stuff (navidrome, jellyfin, managing the arr stack) * one is for my data syncing with rsync and after set a backup from borg to another server not on my domain

I was trying at some point to add stuff such as tailscale, but somehow I always had issues with having both servers reachable within the IP range I use on my local network, so everything would work as is with the current config at home being away. I have also heard of cloudflare tunnels as well, but that I didn’t try yet. At some point I tried to do just a regular wireguard from my opnsense, but I would prefer not to have open ports to worry about (and also had issues with internal IP not being assigned from wireguard as well).

Does anyone here has experience with this? If so, what was your solution and/or caviats to it?

Yup. It gets more involved once you start adding DNS and SSL. But if you’re ok typing IPs and you’re not opening your firewall to the public, it’s all you really need.

You should keep trying with tailscale, did you read the docs? (tailscale provides amazing documentation), you dont need to install the client on every device, for that use subnet routers, all is in the docs. Give it another try and post back what issues you are having.
