selfhosted

I’m running a very small business and now I have a need to start tracking my sales and expenses for the business. Not looking for a full blown Quickbooks type of thing but if that’s all that’s available then no big deal, I can just use what I need and ignore the rest....

Hi, I’ve been thinking for a few days whether I should learn Docker or Podman. I know that Podman is more FOSS and I like it more in theory, but maybe it’s better to start with docker, for which there is a lot more tutorials. On the other hand, maybe it’s better to straight up learn podman when I don’t know any of the...

Basically title. Is it common to use some kind of RAID for backing up other RAIDs or do people just go with single drives?

I’ve been playing around with Ollama in a VM on my machine and it is really useful....

Hello everyone....

I have many services running on my server and about half of them use postgres. As long as I installed them manually I would always create a new database and reuse the same postgres instance for each service, which seems to me quite logical. The least amount of overhead, fast boot, etc....

So I wanted to get myself a Kill-a-watt. Being who I am, I wanted information regarding its accuracy, especially at low power draws. I found a comparison with a industry grade equipment (Fluke is about the best out there in handheld electrical meters). It’s not encouraging, so I thought about a more proper meter, but it’s...

I’m about a month in to playing at self hosting....

I want to self host a suite of services and make them public....

I recently bought a domain from Porkbun (thanks to all of the comments on this post!) and I want to self-host some services myself. I currently have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and I’m not quite sure if it can handle these things:...

An aquantance of mine has a CD collection and wants to rip it. They don’t want to stream it over a server but rather store it, say, on a hard drive connected directly to their speakers/receiver....

I know, I know, clickbaity title but in a way it did. It also brought in the situation in the first place but I’m just going to deliberately ignore that. Quick recap:...

Hi, everyone! I’m kinda new at self-hosting, so I need a few tips to get started. Is there any guides that you can recommend for the begginer? My goal is to run a vps with self-hosting tools for daily usage, like Jellyfin, Navidrome, Baïkal, proxy-tool, maybe a Gitea instance etc. I have a domain purchased and basic nginx...

There are lots of projects that enable groups to organize themselves, gather ideas and organize documents....

I’m using contabo and the VPS I got is advertised as 1 Gigabit. When I do a speedtest or use iperf3 to connect to public servers I get pretty close to 1 Gigabit. But from my residential IP the speed drops down to 100-250 Mbit/s. My home internet connection can handle 500 Mbit just fine....

I’ve been self-hosting my music in Navidrome for the last 3 or 4 years and in general I’ve been very satisfied. Before that I was using an old iPod. The key difference I haven’t been able to recreate in Navidrome is a feeling of my own curated library where I scroll through and recognize all the artists. When I set up...

I see Docker mentioned every other thread and was wondering how useful it is for non development things, and if so what they are.

Solution : Don’t be stupid. Open the proper ports....

I’m currently on the lookout for privacy-respecting domain registrars. What are you guys using and why?...

Or would it be better to split it up on multiple devices? Or maybe just upgrade to a single RPi4 or 5 mod. B?

The backup doc from Immich states that one should use Postgres’ dump functionality to backup the database, as well as copy the upload location....

Keeping tradition with doing things backwards, I’ve finally got a UPS for the rack (mounted in the bottom of the stack). Got a PowerWalker VI 2200R. Its a 2U unit which is all the space I’ve got left in the rack. Decent price and decent I/O with USB, serial and a slot-in for network expansion + 4 IEC outputs. Its powering...

What’s everyones recommendations for a self-hosted authentication system?...

I feel like I have a doozy of a complicated issue and am looking for some guidance....

I’ve been using Google for the last decade and am owly moving away from it....
