Yeah Memos is great. I use it as a personal journal. It supports great features like Postgres database, tags, filters, S3 for assets, SSO with OIDC. Dev works on more features like referencing notes if I read correctly
Only downside for me is, pictures are always at the end of a note, not inline like in wikis
No it is fully encrypted, even on the server. This topic was years old. You can read a good explanation here
Joplin can encrypt and it is selfhostable and uses Markdown
Benefit: apps for every platform
No CSS skills are stopping me from hiding the button. Maybe a checkbox to turn it off would be the better option, or move it completely to the about page
Even in Immich you can turn it off without paying. Subscriptions are like cancer imo, 5€ here, 10€ there… No thanks, other projects still exists since years, like Codex or Komga
Don’t like plus features or paid features at all. I donate frequently to a few open source projects, but I decide if I pay and when I pay and how much I pay.
The donate button is floating, that is annoying and even if you donated, it won’t go away. You need to buy a subscription. Sorry but no, there are better softwares out there
Immich got a shitstorm because of the license button in a corner without any paid features. Now it is now called support (which is better imo)
Komga is what I use, really like it to read my mangas ☺️
For metadata editing you can use Comictagger
It writes the metadata to the files and has online database support
Removed Kavita since they started Kavita+ and the floating donate button, which can only be removed if you pay. Never again
I use Komga instead
Add this to the service in your docker-compose.yml
extra_hosts:
- host.docker.internal:host-gateway
Example:
services:
redis:
restart: always
container_name: redis
image: redis:7.2-alpine
extra_hosts:
- host.docker.internal:host-gateway
Then you can reach your host from inside the container via host.docker.internal:3434
host.docker.internal
is like your “localhost” on the host. It is a special DNS name.
Forget fail2ban, use crowdsec instead. It is a kind of next generation fail2ban ☝🏻😃
The message says it all. DNS rebind means a domain name is pointing back to an internal IP address. You need to make an exception in pfsense for your domain dash.homelab.duckdns.org
This is normal ☝🏻
From Discord
Copy this to custom CSS in the adminpanel and the license banner is gone:
.license-status{
display:none !important;
}
It is possible to set the status to licensed too vua the database, but I didn’t try it.
I hope it will only be this banner. Kavita has had a donation button too and 2 updates further it was a floating button. The whole thing about licensing is heavily discussed on Discord.
Indeed it is DNS rebind protection.
I use wildcard on my Fritzbox. I added *.mydomain.com
and my MyFritz address *.er467.myfritz.net
Important for everyone who makes changes on DNS rebind protection: You will need to completely RESTART your Fritzbox. Even if you add a line, or edit. One domain per line. It will not work without it ☝🏻
Memos is a great app for this or if you want it local, use DiaryVault
DiaryVault can sync (encrypted) with Nextcloud too. Memos is a serverapp, it has a good responsive webapp
A proper backup of immich contains 3 folders (library, upload and profile) and the database! It is linked to its database. Every software with a database should have a backup of the database too (Paperless-ngx for example)
If you just saved the library folder, you will need to recreate all albums again and upload it again. Maybe the CLI can help you with this.
For the next time, please read the docs about backup and restore
Rsync or rclone are better ways than syncthing. Rsync can copy over ssh out of the box. Rclone can do the same but with a lot more backends. FTP, SSH, S3… It does not matter. Imo is rclone the better choice than rsync in this case. Take a look at rclone.org
Use the app news
It uses RSS and shows it with nice pictures. You can even open the webpage directly, if you tap on a news.
Works as standalone RSS Reader, or with Nextcloud. I recommend standalone, the nextcloud news app seems outdated 🤔
OPML feed import and export are included
Why? It is a reverse proxy, not a fully webserver, this is the difference from Nginx Proxy Manager, which includes Nginx. But advanced configuration can be a pain with NPM too, just look for Synapse and Delegation. This is troublesome for most users of NPM.
Zoraxy can serve a static website, but traffic splitting like for Synapse, MinIO or Mastodon is part of a (fully) webserver.
I use Zoraxy as a reverse proxy for easy managing my services, mostly directly in containers, but I use it with Apache and Nginx on the same host too for WordPress and Nextcloud for example.
Beginners will mostly only use docker containers, without further configuration, like in NPM and this works out of the box :)
I use Zoraxy on all my servers, it replaced Nginx proxy manager (NPM) for me completely. Installed on my host system, it points directly into docker containers via IPV6 in most cases.
For services that I run on the host directly, it points to nginx or apache, both work well with Zoraxy. Synape, Mastodon, Immich, Vaultwarden, Jellyfin, Nextcloud, WordPress… No problem
If you run Zoraxy in docker, it works like NPM, but it has no advanced tab for additional configuration. It is just a reverse proxy, not a full web server like NPM, which is basically a GUI for nginx.
You will need nginx in addition for traffic splitting for some services, like Synapse or Mastodon, even in docker. In NPM this is called locations
I think it is beginner friendly, since those users mostly use docker containers. Container mostly work out of the box like in NPM. They can use Zoraxy in docker too and point it directly to a container name and port, immich_server:3001 for example. Same as in NPM
Cheap but powerful VPS? NetCup ARM-Server or normal x86 VPS. Both are good
Hetzner storagebox. 1 TB for 3,20€ per month
Works with rclone. You can get up to 20TB
If you want S3 object storage, then you can use Contabo object storage
Big plus: no traffic fees ☝🏻
Very cool and inspiring list. Bookmarked it 👍
But some applications are just desktop tools like Notesnook (can not find a server version to host) or are android apps like Aegis. It is not a list of only self-hosted apps.
Duplicati needs to get thrown out, it is beta for years and will not work if database gets corrupt (and it will get corrupt), the latest version is from May 2023 (still beta like any other version in the last years 😄)
I just hate subscriptions. Does not matter if it is Netflix or Spotify or any similar business. It is getting a real problem. Here 5 euros for a calendar, there 10 for videos, another 5 for XYZ… In the end you are paying more and more for daily usage
Those triple A studios get the same treatment with not buying / using their product. Microtransactions are a pain too, yes.
It is just a way to give something back to people who would donate anyway.
Now they need to donate monthly or yearly…
The plus features are designed to be bypassable with minimal effort if you don’t want to pay for it.
Same for Photoprism, just build it yourself 🙄
The extra features are not important to use the app as usual.
Not at the moment. I am very sceptical. Same for Kavita. Time will show where the journey goes.
Wow the same shitty step as Kavita… Kavita has an annoying floating donate button, can only disabled with Kavita+
A few features are only available with Kavita+… I am waiting for the point that new features are only available with subscription…
This is like cancer imho and the reason why I switched to Komga. I like to support via donation, but I want to choose when and how much I donate.
Maybe someone will fork GameVault and keep it opensource.
I have a separate network for postgres. Every service which needs a DB is attached to it. I use a single postgres container with several DBs and finetuned with PGTune.
The most important thing as always: proper backups ☝🏻
The only service with extra DB container is Immich, since it uses a custom variant and I am too lazy to modify the existing container 😁
Use Publii, it has a WYSIWYG editor, a block editor and a markdown editor. It creates the files on your PC and can upload it to your server. Just point your webserver to the uploaded folder.
Very beginner friendly ☝🏻
