The direction of computing today (AI, everything is a damn ad/influencer bs, etc) is why things like #oss, #Mastodon, #meshtastic and #SelfHosting in general are so important. I say that even as an apple user but of all the big players I dislike them the least.
Irgendein Bug im letzten #Jellyfin-Update (10.9.2) macht Sperenzchen, so dass Clients nur noch eingeschränkt bzw. gar nicht mehr funktionieren/connecten. 😩 Halben Tag alles mögliche versucht und jetzt geb ich einfach auf und warte auf einen (hoffentlich baldigen) hotfix. #selfhosting
I’ve been having a foray into Home Assistant again after a two years and I have a question for the experts:
I have a HomePod Mini that’s the hub of my Home. All my Thread devices are connected to it
I can see the HomePod in HomeAssistant and control what music it’s playing, but I can’t see the Thread devices connected to it
Some people are saying you can use this “Import Credentials” button in the Thread integration, but that doesn’t do anything
Is there a solution? #HomeAssistant#selfhosting
I have a home server with various services running (all isolated with different user accounts). The server has a small SSD and a big external HDD, but I'd like to make external backups to my cloud account. The cloud service has a proprietary command line application to sync data, so backups would ideally be date separated compressed tar files that it can then sync. An additional complication are PostgreSQL and SQLite databases that can't just be copied without risking breaking the integrity of the files.
How would you do the backups? Do you have some existing app that you could suggest? I'm sure I can whip up some script to do it, but I wouldn't mind if there was something already made.
Hey fellow #selfhosting nerds, what does #paperless_ngx do that Apple Notes doesn't? I understand not everyone is in the Apple garden but still. Notes do multi-language OCR better. I'm probably missing something. I'm asking because I see Apple nerds gush about it.
Finally got a hard drive issue sorted out and all my self hosted bits and pieces running again. I guess this is the risk of not renting hardware. Still, fun to have it all working again and aside from catastrophic failures, I think I’m set now.
Dropped some updates to selfh.st/apps this morning - tiles now have visible/clickable tags, URL properties have been added for sharing custom views with others, and I've added a ton of new project icons.
I'm completely open to feedback on future improvements, but probably won't consider adding any more details to the tiles to prevent them from becoming too cluttered.

Put it off for quite a while but I finally migrated from the deprecated linuxserver/unifi-controller container to the new linuxserver/unifi-network-application container to my unifi control plane.
I got a new switch that required at least unifi 8.1 and i was lagging behind on 8.0.27.
the new network-application requires a mongo db container. no big deal. but i had to export a full site backup and start from a clean slate with the new 8.1 system. no in-place upgrade supported. was fairly painless tbh, just a bit of a pallavah and an exercise in yak shaving i could have done without tonight. #selfhosting
After watching OpenAI's presentation and, even more, an excerpt from Google's presentation yesterday, I asked myself: is this AI, according to the big tech companies (especially Google - for OpenAI it's their core business, so I understand their perspective), truly what users want and need, or is it just another method to lock people into using their technologies, which are not easily self-hostable?
I'm not arguing for or against it, but I noticed that (almost) the entire Google I/O yesterday was focused on this...
Does anyone know a #FLOSS and perhaps self-hostable music scrobbler? Something similar to last.fm ?
I do not want to post every music I listen to here on my mastodon account, but it would nice to be able to share what I'm listening to with friends and family.
I have telegram because it was really easy to set up a bot and a bash script to send messages to it-basically my own little notifications app. But it’s also the only thing I use telegram for. What’s a good alternative? Free and open source preferred. Self hosting as well
About ready to start working on my first homelab machine for self-hosting things instead of just glomming all my services on to the NAS. How feasible is it to start out on a Raspberry Pi while I get the hang of things? #selfhosting#selfhosted#homelab#raspberrypi
I am looking into hosting a #Pixelfed instance. Already got a nice domain for it and have the general idea how to do it. Anything I should know before starting? #selfhosting
Decided to sit down and try to learn #kubernetes despite the fact that I don't have any real need for it on my little home server. Still, it's been interesting and - I won't lie - a bit frustrating at times. It's very much like using a chainsaw to butter my bread for my use case, but I had a nice feeling of satisfaction when I succeeded in getting #owncast set up through it. I've had some odd issues with Docker failing to launch certain containers through containerd that I have not been able to figure out, however.
I was putting thought into maybe redoing my server setup with kubernetes but I sincerely worry that I'll run into this same containerd issue with some of my other apps.
Mit Seafile kannst du ganz einfach deinen eigenen Cloudserver aufsetzen und betreiben. Ich zeige dir, wie du Seafile auf deinem Server mit Docker sicher einrichten kannst und wie du den Seafile-Client nutzt. Du kannst so deine Daten von überall her synchronisieren oder auch mit deinen Freunden teilen.
My Google drive -> Nextcloud move has been going great so far. The desktop and mobile clients work very well, and the virtually unlimited storage space I have on my instance makes it awesome for syncing very large files (which I've been needing to do a lot lately)
For the folders where I needed 2 way sync in my mobile devices (neither mobile clients can do) I found that #syncthing works perfectly
So, I did transfer all my pictures to my #nextcloud instance. But could not remove them from #google photos, because it is still better for managing and sharing them, sadly. For now my #selfhosting option is just as a backup
