Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I do believe, you may in fact, perhaps, be a nerd.

You don't happen to have a simple how-to or wiki for these services do you?

Official documentation is all well and good but sometimes it can be a nightmare to follow and understand (Nextcloud for example had me pulling my hair) for us mere nerdlings that haven't achieved full nerdhood yet.

Jellyfin is great. My latest addition to my media ecosystem was audiobookshelf which is really nice as well if you like to listen to ebooks.

Jellyfin and Immich jave stayed as mainstays after like 2 dozen projects I've tried on. That and a Samba share.

How was setting up immich? Looking to expand and that seems interesting.

Give it a go, I just finished the docker with tailscale setup. Using parts of this guide from Alex from tailscale https://youtu.be/guHoZ68N3XM (for the ones saying don't post yt links, I've not seen an add in the past 6 years or so, just use revanced) 2 hickups I had to overcome: a dns issue and different gpu passthrough then jellyfin uses). Reason was unpriviliged lxc in proxmox in both cases. But I prefer an lxc in this case. Just lost 2hrs looking back at old photos, it works great! Rdy for introducing it to my non tech wife!

Beginner here. What do you mean by a Samba share? Do you mean a shared network folder? Or something more elaborate?

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 1 points 14 hours ago

Yes they mean a SMB share. A type of network share that works (mostly) with Linux and windows.

So they can push and pull at the same time, silly!

Yes just one homelab server.

Actually even its on 1 Linux VM (but that doesn't mean you should also use a single VM). Anyways tldr; Yes.

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 1 day ago

Edit: ow.. And you should too!

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, what's the speedtest server?

I've not run into that yet myself, but I'd love to have one of those.
