Goofed Home

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.

For a hobby of mine, there’s an outdated lore wiki on Fandom. I dislike Fandom and would like to host an alternative. It’s supposed to be accessible to all kinds of people.

I started with mediawiki as that’s what Fandom and Wikipedia are using, so people would be familiar with page structures at least and maybe the editor.

It turned out to be a bit of a pain though. It only has unofficial container images, the documentation is outdated and (what I consider as) core functionality like WYSIWYG editor or simple infoboxes has to be added by extensions or templates. I’m in the process of setting it all up and wondering if it’s worth it (and if I want to maintain it). There’s so many wiki projects it’s hard to keep track, what are y’all using for stuff that’s used by larger communities and simple to use with close-to-default settings?

Not at all! I did poke around some random pages after you helped me, sorry I didn’t come back to my. Thanks for sharing the update, I’m keen to see how you’re using DW.

Judging by how productive I’ve been just in the last 8 hours, I’d say going from Mediawiki to Dokuwiki was a good choice. I’m not even sure why. DW still uses markup instead of a WYSIWYG editor, which I’m fine with. I think it’s the namespaces. MW does have them, but you have to set them up with a config file on the server, and adding and removing them cannot be done lightly. With DW it’s as easy as searching for new_namespace:some_new_article, and the namespace is created along with the article. So I have a scratchpad namespace where I can work on drafts, a stories namespace to put my attempts at creative writing, a lore namespace for, well, canonized lore tidbits, and so on. And I don’t need to worry about names colliding like I did with MW where lore articles and story titles often conflicted.

DW lets you use hierarchy when it works, and loose categories (tags) when it doesn’t (with the tags plugin that is). With MW you just have categories but no hierarchy. Bookstack is the opposite. It forces you to use its shelf>book>chapter>page organization system. It does have tags, too, but you can’t have pages outside of books, and the pages have an explicit order. You can fairly easily change that order, but it’s always there.

Back to DokuWiki, the blog plugin has proven invaluable over the last few days. I can jot down ideas as blog entries and push them to the main lore namespace if I think they’re worth keeping.

Hi. I’m kinda of a noob in the world of self-hosting and matrix, for that matter. But I was wondering how heavy is it to host a matrix server?

My understanding how matrix works is each participating server in the room stores the full history and then later some sort of merging happens or something like that.

How is that sustainable? Say in 5 years matrix becomes mainstream and 5 people join my server and each also join 3 different 10k+ people rooms with long histories. So now what I have to account for that or people have to be careful of joining larger rooms when they sign up in a smaller-ish server?

Or do I not understand how Matrix works? Thanks.

Its not “targeted at old school”, its an open, extensible protocol.

If devs focused on extending the protocol instead of building an app to handle things like this, it could do it.

Mucking about with dozens of extensions instead of just installing an app seems pretty old skool, lol, brings me back to bbs life

Full Changelog: https://github.com/eddyizm/tempus/compare/v4.6.0...v4.12.0

note app-tempo* <- The github release with all the android auto/chromecast features

app-degoogled* <- The izzyOnDroid release that goes without any of the google stuff.

As usual, any dev contributions appreciated as I am not actually a java/mobile dev, so my progress is significantly slower than those who do this on the daily.

Big thanks to all the folks who have been contributing. We have a new icon designed but I could use some help if anyone wants to do a PR to implement it.

Not familiar with sonos but there is nothing in the app that is specific to sonos so you are probably not blind. In general, it only streams from your phone to a bluetooth or (if using the gh variant) chromecast which needs work.

yeah unfortunately been over a year and no response from the original dev. I forked this late last summer to keep it alive.

I’ve been self hosting traditionally in debian, but I would like to be able to add services easier using docker. As such, I’m looking to move to a container based architecture.

One place I struggle is that I can’t seem to find a good container where the default image supports ACME to support Let’s encrypt for automatic cert renewal.

For Nginx, I would have you build my container. HAproxy ACME support seems to be a shell script.

Any suggestions?

You can bake haproxy and acme.sh into a container yourself. Haproxy is hands down the best performing/least resource consuming RP. Dynamic management, like mimicing Traefiks service discovery, can be a bit tricky though. Yes, it doesn’t support ACME itself but once you get passed the “hello world” RP’ing and need something more advanced, like ACME DNS01, Haproxy with acme.sh is your buddy for life.

Npm and npmplus are great

Hi I’m looking for some recommendations on a digital version of a bulletin board for tasks. We use a bulletin board with sticky notes for tasks that can be described as “busy work,” think stuff like “organize bookcase of old licenses” or “replace thing that is probably gonna break soon so we don’t get a ticket.” More or less stuff we don’t actually care if it gets done so we dont want SLA timers. We have a ticketing system for important tasks but it is unfortunately built in house and is more mean to manage end user workflows rather than IT things and sadly doesn’t have what were looking for without adding tasks to programmers that have a several month long backlog. Our main reason for wanting a digital one is so we can do something like feed in a csv file and make multiple almost identical tasks think “do x in room 1” “do x in room 2” type thing.

If anyone has recommendations it would be massively appreciated.

There are a lot of these and I had no idea what they were even called before posting this. This one looks great thanks.

Everything was .md files on the backend, which was nice. Should make automation simple (but time consuming since you most likley have to create it yourself). The only reason I stopped using it was because I didn’t really need it.
