Sorry, but I find it immature of you to judge a book by its cover.
Fully within your right.
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?

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 am interested in self hosting a Personal Health Record (PHR) system. I don’t need my own EMR/EHR, I just want to be able to pull down my own data, host it, and navigate it.
For example, I’d like to be able to pull down my vitals/labs from my provider and look at trends over time. I’d like to be able to pull down my prescriptions to see when I went on/off different medications. I’d like to pull down doctor’s notes, so I can see when I first started complaining about poor sleep, to see if it correlates to any of my medications or some other health change.
I have tried Mere Medical, and it was able to pull down my information from my provider (who uses Cerner), but the functionality is quite lacking. You basically get a timeline view, but nothing to really organize or search through notes (they are mostly just linked documents), or anyway to pull down lab results and see trends.
FastenHealth has also come up in my search, but it seems the onprem is a very stripped down, limited version of their paid product.
Is anyone familiar with anything like this? Ideally, it’s be combined with a fitness tracker to pull my health data from my phone/wearables too.
Sure. But I’d also not host it publicly on the Internet, just on my local lan!
Mere was interesting, but it runs entirely offline in a browser (which is pretty cool). But, this means all data lives in your browser’s localStorage (or indexdb), which would make it hard to sync between devices.
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)
Damn furrys… stupid, sexy furrys…
Waiting for the next fork: Contin-ara-ara-ity
Im German. English is not my first language.
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 🙂
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.

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
Because if my router factory resets, the ports are closed
Your router doesn’t save your configuration? Port forwarding settings should not be affected by a router reset.
There are ~50,000-60,000+ available IP ports. If you had Wireguard configured correctly and running on every single one of them a port scanner would get exactly the same result as if every port was closed. Wireguard is completely silent unless the correct key is provided.
The “script kiddies” could scan every port for months and they’d get the same result. There is known no way to even know there’s an open port much less know that Wireguard is running on it AND have the correct key for access.
I understand being gun shy after your experience (I would be too), but that experience has nothing to do with opening a port for Wireguard.

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?
