As much as I adore paperless-ngx for its UX, I hate it for its tech-stack. Idling it already uses 300 MB RAM, when changing a few metadata fields on a document it easily spikes to 700 oder 800 MB. That’s insane for the work it actually does. Is there anything more lightweight? All I need is metadata management and a gallery...
I have a Raspi 3b+ to play with, and thought about using it as a Google Drive alternative for collaborative docs since there are some cool stuff Google Docs can’t do, but LibreOffice do. Any similar experience?
Personally I’m running Foundry and have been meaning to spin up Owlbear 1.0 now that it’s self hostable - but I feel like there’s more i could be doing. Is anyone aware of a self hostable character sheet/character builder? I suppose i could go next cloud for storing folders and files but I don’t think anyone would use it...
Hey guys, Changed ISP to Aussie Broadband yesterday, and suddenly can’t seem to connect to my server using my domain (still can connect in the local network). Aussie Broadband uses CGNAT, and I opted out of that, but I still can’t seem to use the server… am I missing some router settings I might need to change? Any other...
I just installed a mesh WiFi network in addition to my ISP-provided router that could barely reach upstairs. I had some locally hosted services set up as per Mediabox. All containers were set up with my machine IP(?) 192.xxx.x.xx and were working great inside my network, which is all I wanted to do while I’m learning. I...
Hi all, since ya’ll are self hosters, I’m sure you all deal with all sorts of different pieces of hardware, accessories, peripherals, and what not; just wondering if you could please share your favorite, solid, “go to” brands for overall things you need for your setup such as cables (all types), adapters, dongles, power...
I’m in the process of designing a home server and am curious how many ethernet ports are required at minimum and how many people recommend. The single board computer (SBC) I plan to use has two built in and has a pcie slot to add four more if necessary. If I don’t need the four extra I’d like to use the pcie slot for a...
Hi all you smart lads and lasses, My home server is currently running openmediavault 5 and the admin panel will not load anymore. I’m unable to run omv-repair or any of their similar commands, so I’ve been keeping it up-to-date with ash and apt....
I see some very good deals on RackNerd through LowEndbox. Is the company reliable? I.e. I’m hoping there’s not going to be a situation like NexusBytes. Could someone confirm?
I’ve read a lot of recommendations for tailscale and am on my way to try it out myself. Do you use Tailscale in the “normal” way or do you host your own Headscale server (as I’m planning to do)? Any pros and cons?
Many of the posts I read here are about Docker. Is anybody using Kubernetes to manage their self hosted stuff? For those who’ve tried it and went back to Docker, why?...
I’ve been after that golden goose of auto-imported transactions from my US banks into a selfhosted financial manager for some time now. Plaid doesn’t work with some of my banks, and comes with a slew of privacy compromises anyway. I’m looking to import transactions into firefly iii (or actualbudget) by scraping information...
Hello, I really need some help accessing my app via cloudfared tunnel. The app is installed on an AWS EC2 Debian machine. I can successfully hit the page using www.cloudflare.com/ips/onfigured via inbound security rules. I can also successfully setup the cloudflare tunnel and access it via that tunnel and my personal domain and...
Is anybody using only IPv6 in their home lab? I keep running into weird problems where some services use only IPv6 and are “invisible” to everyone (I’m looking at you, Java!) I end up disabling IPv6 to force everything to the same protocol, but I started wondering, “why not disable IPv4 instead?” I’d have half as...
I have been searching for while now for goed software to document my network setup. I would like to document my servers, containers, network flow, possibly als store some config files. Also would be nice if it has some auto discovery on my network....
Hi community, wanted to know your opinions on the various VPS companies offering compute boxes in the cloud. Which one do you use, why, and what do you recommend for someone who has a $15 budget for a decently powerful box(es)?...
On August 21, my Yunohost server, which I keep in my house, started warning we that port 80 was inaccessible from the Internet. None of my sites use port 80, so everything kept working, but I was concerned because I knew that my Let’s Encrypt certificate would fail to automatically renew if I didn’t fix the problem....
I have NextCloud installed via Ubuntu Snap. But I want to take the docker route instead. Every “how to” only shows how to set it up with reverse proxy configuration. I need to be able to do this without it. Any help?...
