Hello everyone,

i am thinking about getting a ugreen DH4300, however I don’t trust the company with their is so I am thinking about installing something like OMV on it. Has anyone here done that to this line of machines? I found no one saying anything about this online.

On another note. Currently I have a raspberry running my services. Would it even worth it to get that ugreen? Or should I just upgraded my pi with some hats or a DAS?

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

If that helps I just got a Aoostar WTR Pro (Ryzen version) to replace my NAS. But I had 2x 16GB RAM left so that was pretty cheap for a rather powerful home NAS. With 8c/16T abf two 2.5Gb NIC it’s powerful enough to replace a small hypervisor.

BUT careful, while it has quickswap slots the hardware itself doesn’t support it.

I still haven’t found a Google Drive replacement. Nextcloud is way too bloated. Seafile is way too complicated to install.

I need multi-user support, so other apps where they just serve a folder from my server don’t really cut it either.

I don’t want to sync files at all. I want files to only be on the server, accessible via web interface. Like Google Drive.

Maybe look onto OwnCloud. That’s the project NextCloud was forked from many years ago. It’s very much still around and had a very different philosophy, a much more minimalistic approach with focus on stability. That’s actually the reason the people behind NextCloud had to fork it, cause all their additional features (bloat) wasn’t accepted upstream.

I’ve been working on Habitat for the past two years. It all stemmed from this idea that I posted in April 2024.

Habitat is a free open-source, self hosted social platform for local communities. It is aimed at fostering local community discussions and discovery of areas of interest. This is why it is built primarily around location. A Habitat instance centers on a specific area, and the local community can make generic posts about that area, or they can make posts about specific locations in that area. More about what I’ve been building and the future plans here.

Features

• Habitat specification of location and size - enabling posts related to the local area
• Home feed - Displays the most recent posts
• Nearby feed - Displays posts sorted by proximity to the user
• Create posts - Upload photos, set locations, comments
• Categories - Location rules
• Amazon S3 image storage option
• Personalisation - Overrides Habitat defaults per user: kms/miles, hidden categories
• Moderation tools - User, post, comment moderation, block email addresses
• Announcements - Scheduled announcements
• Public moderation log - Keep moderator actions visible for 30 days

If you’re interest in this at all, please give it a spin and let me know how you get on. I’ll keep an eye here on Lemmy, but you can also post to the Habitat discussion board on GitHub.

Did you even understand the problem?

The answer is no, not yes.

Thanks for this. Regarding your point on on making people care, I’ve just written up a post that touches on this: https://feddit.uk/post/45292700

Federation is not yet built in, but I have a plan. There are some details here: https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/location-based-social-network/#connecting-instances

I had a small media library for myself, and wanted to automate it a bit more, so implemented arr stack (prowlarr, radarr, lidarr), it seems to work but I’m not sure how to pick indexers. I have no experience with it, and I initially just picked a public one, but it barely ever seems to download something.

I’m a bit confused about it, should i just pick as many as I can? Or join a private one? But no idea where to start there.

Any advice or push in the right direction would be appreciated.

Set your download client to ignore file types you don’t want. Like sample files, exe, .dll etc

Yes I had totally done that! It was just an always expanding list as they tried different extensions.

No issues now with a private tracker, ever.

Hey selfhosters 👋

A few weeks ago I shared Ideon here and got great feedback that shaped a lot of what I’ve been working on since.

Since my last post here, Ideon crossed 200 stars on GitHub and I wanted to say thank you ❤. It means a lot to see people interested in what started as a side project. It motivated me to work on it literally every day since then.

For those who missed it: Ideon is a self-hosted visual workspace where you lay out everything about a project on an infinite canvas: notes, Git repos, code snippets, checklists, sketches, links and connect them together. Two containers, no external dependencies.

Since then, a lot has changed and I wanted to share an update.

Self-hosting got smoother. Docker permission issues with bind mounts are gone, build times are faster, and there’s a new GIT_ALLOWED_HOSTS env variable so you can whitelist your internal Git servers (Gitea, Forgejo, GitLab behind a VPN, etc.) without the SSRF filter blocking them.

Collaboration got real structure. There are now 4 project roles (Creator, Owner, Editor, Viewer), a Request Access workflow for private projects, and the canvas supports real-time multiplayer with conflict-free editing.

The canvas got a lot more usable. Keyboard navigation (arrow keys + vim keys), a command palette, freehand sketch blocks, drag-and-drop checklists with progress bars, markdown tables and task lists, emoji reactions on blocks, edge labels, and a bunch of stability fixes for large projects.

Where this is going next:

Right now Ideon lets you see your project. Git stats, issues, PRs show up on the canvas, but you can only look at them. For the v1 I want to move from visibility to control. Merge a PR from the canvas. Trigger a deployment. Restart a service. Turn the workspace into an actual cockpit where you operate your project, not just view it.

That’s the direction. Curious what this community thinks about it.

If you tried it and hit something rough, or if you’ve been waiting to try it, now’s a good time. Feedback always welcome.

Heyy @jjlinux@lemmy.zip ! just remembered your comment, I released v0.7 like a week ago, where you can finally import obsidian vaults ! I told myself it was worth getting back to you ;)

Thanks so Much man. I’ll update later today and give it a shot. This is great.

I migrated my home server to Talos, but I have a disk with data that I want to add as a user volume. It’s LUKS, ext4 and the data is rclone encrypted for e2e Webdav.

I see the following on the documentation, but I’m just worried that it might format the drive and/or otherwise mess with the data.

https://docs.siderolabs.com/talos/v1.10/reference/configuration/block/uservolumeconfig

Yes. I have 2 backups, but I kind of also want to go through this exercise of loading a full disk into Talos. I would also really rather avoid restoring a backup (I did check the backups).

Is it safe to simply add this disk as a volume? Do I need to do anything special to ensure it simply mounts without getting messed up?

I don’t know anything about Talos but can you try it in a VM with a test disk? That should answer all your questions and show you possible pitfalls.

My goal is to to fully ditch Google Photos for Immich. I have about ~3TB of photos and videos. Looking for a super simple way of backing up the library to cloud storage in case of a drive failure.

Ideally, this will require nothing on my part besides copying files into a given folder. And ideally the storage will be encrypted and have basic privacy assurances.

Also if it matters my home server is running Debian.

I think they are analogous. If you like your setup keep using it ;)

JFYI - after many years of trusting Borg with my backups, I found Kopia to be MUCH faster, in both snapshots creation time and browsing/diffing. I backup my whole home every 6 hours, so going from ~20min down to ~3min is an appreciable win. There’s also a web endpoint to Kopia that may make backing up on the go easier when you can’t trust your tunnel to home.

Hello, Im looking into how to setup keycloak oidc with jellyfin. I found and configured the sso plugin but when accessing the jellyfin login page i don’t see any option to login using keycloak.

I tried looking for some guides/ documentation on how to set this up but the results were limited.

Do you have any recommandations on how to set this up or some good documentation that is worth taking a look at?

Thanks in advance, have a great day!

Can you access immich from outside of your network? If so, how do you do it? I’d like to do it, too, without accidentally opening everything to the internet haha

Yes, either Netbird or Zerotier allow me to connect to my home lan without exposing ports to the outside. Netbird seems more user friendly to setup and there’s good documentation for openwrt.

Last month I posted HelixNotes here and some of you asked about mobile. Version 1.2.1 ships with an Android APK. Same codebase, Rust + Tauri 2.0, no separate app. Since last post: Android support, Ollama for local AI, graph view performance improvements, wiki-link navigation, and a bunch of mobile UX polish. Direct APK download from the site. IzzyOnDroid submission in progress. AGPL-3.0, source on Codeberg.

Does it support LaTeX blocks for math formulas?

Yes, it supports LaTeX math blocks via KaTeX.
