I will use that for documenting further stuff. If Zabbix works a few screenshots from there should explain a lot but everything else I would add to the wiki.


This looks great! I will try Zabbix first! More than I expected. Thank you


That sounds to complicate for me. I am still a beginner.


Hmmm, I have a few dockers, but most stuff is running in lxc‘s (Proxmox). Btw: I tried Heimdall (or Homar?) but I had to enter all services by hand. Is there a way or an app to automate that?


What tool do you use to display your self-hosting infrastructure
Hey, I have to „draw“ or make notes of my selfhosting stuff. It runs so smooth that I sometimes really forget where a service is running or how to reach the web-Interface. For sure I have a password- and link-manager, but I would like another independent note with the structure of my selfhosting. Usually I use Joplin. Is there a plugin that shows me a kind of a map? Or are there other apps - maybe wikis - that do it much easier/better than that? How do you document your selfhosting?

I am also - and always will be - a joplin-user and thought about outsourcing the tasks/todos. Was looking for selfhostable, opensource alternative with a mobile app (iOS) but it was harder to find sth than i expected.

These were my candidates:

SiYuan -> selfhosting does not work with apps (web only)

Anytype -> did not get the server to run (there are a lot of variables in the dockercompose.yaml und .env)

Affine -> there are no mobile apps at the moment

Logseq -> no selfhosting

Now i try to get Appflowy to run on my server: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy-Cloud/blob/main/doc/DEPLOYMENT.md

BTT: For shoppinglist i use kitchenowl, for collaboration mostly nextcloud.


Proxmox: Permission-Problem with a folder in a Bind Mount Point
Love Proxmox but still have to learn a lot... I use a Bind Mount Point for my dockge-LXC on proxmox. I used the Mount Point in my docker compose: version: "2" > services: > urbackup: > > image: uroni/urbackup-server:latest > > container_name: urbackup > > restart: unless-stopped > > environment: > > - PUID=1000 # Enter the UID of the user who should own the files here > > - PGID=1000 # Enter the GID of the user who should own the files here > > - TZ=Europe/Berlin # Enter your timezone > > volumes: > > - /media/urbackups/data:/var/urbackup > > - /media/urbackups/storage:/backups > > # Uncomment the next line if you want to bind-mount the www-folder > > #- /path/to/wwwfolder:/usr/share/urbackup > > network_mode: host > > # Activate the following two lines for BTRFS support > > cap_add: > > - SYS_ADMIN > > networks: {} Now i geht this permission-error: > urbackup | usermod: no changes > urbackup | chown: changing ownership of '/backups': Operation not permitted I guess it has to do with the PUID, but i do not know the PUID. I read that it has to be the user "urbackup" but also in the docker? The mounted folders are both 777. Can you help me?

Not sure. I installed it from the regular usb-stick-image on a Fujitsu Esprimo Q956.


Rescuezilla can’t clone LVM’s, so i had to take clonezilla. This worked! Just rebooted from the “new” ssd and it works! I am amazed.


[SOLVED] Proxmox: Can i mirror the system-ssd to another ssd with boardtools?
Hi! Love my proxmox, so i spent him/her 2 new ssd's. 1x 2TB ssd (2,5") and 1x 4TB m.2-ssd (2280). My server has 2 ssd-slots and one m.2-slot and there is now only one 2,5"-256GB-ssd inside. My fault: I thought the system-ssd would be an 2,5"-sdd, so i can simply add the two new disks to the server, BUT now - after i opened the server - i saw it is an m.2-256GB-ssd. That means there are only two 2,5"-slots free. What do you think? Solution 1: I give back the m.2 and buy another 2,5"-ssd. Solution 2: I mirror the systenmdisk to another 2,5"-300GB-ssd that i have lying around here and use the 2 new bought ssd's. Question to solution 2: Is there a tool in proxmox that can mirror the system-disk and do i have to change a lot handish afterwards? [EDIT / SOLUTION] You can clone the proxmox-system-disk to another with clonezilla. Rescuezilla did not work (issues with LVM's). I did not had to edit anything. Booted and all services seem to work. THANK YOU!

Ah, ok, i see. In the future i always have to write about the way i host the services on the proxmox. I use onlx LXC’s. Also docker is in a LXC.


Hi. I switched from a few SBCs to a proxmox-server and i really enjoy it. Now - after playing a little bit around - i plugged an external 8tb-hdd on my server mainly for backups. I followed this tutorial: https://ostechnix.com/add-external-usb-storage-to-proxmox/ Next step is to use urbackup. I created a folder /urbackup on the 8tb-hdd and now i would like to assign this folder to the urbackup-docker but i do not understand how to do this. What "content" do i have to choose for this case and how can i assign the folder to the docker? Important EDIT: I forgot to mention that i do not use a VM but LXC! SOLUTION in this case is pretty simple: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Linux_Container#_bind_mount_points For example, to make the directory /mnt/bindmounts/shared accessible in the container with ID 100 under the path /shared, add a configuration line such as: mp0: /mnt/bindmounts/shared,mp=/shared into /etc/pve/lxc/100.conf. Or alternatively use the pct tool: pct set 100 -mp0 /mnt/bindmounts/shared,mp=/shared to achieve the same result. Thanks a lot for your help!

Ok, i will have to check out what a LXC is before i start, but that helped a lot. Thanks


Yes, that is what i am used to.

I guess headless is better for performance and i do not see an advantage at all.

Another question: Why do you have several debians-vm’s? You also could take one, right?


proxmox: Do you use a headless Linux OS as a VM or one with a GUI?
Hi. Since yesterday i selfhosted all my stuff with a raspberry pi and two odroids. Everything works ok, but after i read about a few apps that are not supported by the arm-architecture of the SBCs and about the advantages of the backup-solution in proxmox, i bought a little server (6500T/8GB/250GB) to try proxmox. Installed proxmox, but now - before i install my first VM - i have a few questions: a) What Linux OS do i take? Ubuntu Server? b) Should it be headless? The server is in the cellar of my house, so would there be any advantages of installing an OS with a GUI?

Reverse Proxy vs VPN: How do you access your home-server?
The more I am selfhosting the more ports I do open to my reverse proxy. I also have a VPN (wireguard) but there are also 3 family members that want to access some services. Open ports are much easier to handle for them. How many users do you have and how many ports are open? My case: 4 users (family)/ 8 reversed proxy ports How many users and open ports have you?

It is almost a fresh armbian. I just installed omv, docker, portainer and nextcloud (docker). Yes, my plan was to move to the nextcloud in yunohost, if i like it.


No, on arm-device you have to install armbian and afterwards yunohost by a script: curl https://install.yunohost.org | bash


Thank you. Had to edit the folders. Not the stack was “successfully deployed”. Have to watch now if the backup works.


That’s it. Nice. I tried ’ instead of `, so the 2nd useful thing i learnd today. Thanks.


No problem. I use vaultwarden for years. In this case I am not really worried about data-loss because bitwarden keeps an copy of your credentials offline. So in the worst case, i can export them.

I would like to post it, but i have issues with formatting. voyager does not have this “code-format” and writes everything in one line.

Is there a workaround?


This is good. there was an OLD vaultwarden-folder in my root-directory and i thought this would be the current, but you are absolutely right: The folder is in the compose-directory!

Do you really think this is a good place?


Learning by doing: How to change the folder in docker compose (vaultwarden)
Hi! I am running a vaultwarden-docker and would like to change the folder where the credentials are stored. This is my current docker-compose-file: version: '3.4' services: vaultwarden: image: vaultwarden/server:latest restart: always ports: - '127.0.0.1:8200:80' volumes: - ./vaultwarden:/data/ So my credentials are stored in a folder called vaultwarden in the root of the server. a) How can i change this folder in the stack-file of portainer without loosing the data? b) Where would the folder be when i would write "vaultwarden" without the "./"? In the /root-folder? Sorry for the noob-questions but the docker-tutorials i found are much too high for me. ;)

My Lemmy-client forces me to add a picture. I was pretty sure to find a solution with thunderbird - what I did


I think that is the way I want to go! Thunderbird on my PC is the „central mail client“, so I just have to draw the archived years (imap) to a local folder. The advantages: If I look for an older mail, I do not have to search in seperate archived files (mbox/eml). And with backing up thunderbird, I have a backup of all my settings AND mails!

I would like to REALLY archive some older e-mail-folders. Archive seems not to be the right word, because i work with empty inboxes, so every completed or answered e-mail is still archived in a folder (with the name of the year), but i use IMAP so all archived emails are still on the server. Now i want to EXPORT the years 2018-2019 to my selfhosted-backup-server so that i can delete the emails on the mail-server. a) Which format make most sense? EML? mbox? Another one? Would be nice if i can search the archived stuff without too many effort. b) Should i export directly from the UI of my mailprovider (if possible) or is exporting from thunderbird-client ok.

Sounds interesting. Never heard before. On their page I see the “ksuite standard” for free with 2 emails/15GB. The next upgrade to 5 adresses/3TB(!) would be 3,29€.


Not really about selfhosting, but I read that a lot of selfhosters do not selfhost their emails. Should have pop/imap. I am thinking about iCloud that offers 3 aliases, but actually I need 5. Does iCloud has a catchall-option? mailbox.org and skiff are „too expensive“ with 3€/month. migadu is another candidate. 19€/year. I once read about a cheap one-man-show-E-Mail-provider, that I would like to try, but I can‘t remember the name. Do you have more suggestions?
