Wow, thanks! I couldn’t find Andrea Bowman, it shows me some video about criminal cases! 😆



On another note, I received some flack last week for poking fun at the Immich devs for prioritizing the platform’s new mascot over a feature I’ve personally been looking forward to (yes, they were in on it). I had planned to make a formal apology this week until I noticed they dropped another release that again left me feeling neglected as they instead celebrated 60k GitHub stars (is that a lot?).

If you need me before next Friday, I’ll be busy making the transition back to Google Photos while enjoying this custom CSS for styling a Flame dashboard to look like the Lumon MDR terminals from Severance

Both these sentence feels very childish to me. First of all, it’s an open source software, nobody can pretend anything!
Second, it’s clear that, as mentioned by one of the developer, they were joking about it

If he was joking too, I didn’t get it.


I use Alps bigger peaks for the hosts like:

  • Castore
  • Polluce
  • Lyskamm
  • Gnifetti
  • etc.

(yes, mainly from Monte Rosa) and smaller peaks for the VMs:

  • Grigna
  • Grignetta
  • Resegone
  • Cornizzolo
  • Palanzone
  • etc.

I’ve read very bad experiences about Oracle free tier VPS, like VPS disappeared for good with all the data.


If you host a system that uses the Google APIs, it seems to me that you don’t get any privacy gain since being you the only one using it, Google knows it’s you. I’ve been using startpage for a year now and I’ve been happy about it; I’ve never had to use Google anymore.


Right, I should probably map the file directly to the system log folder. I’ll try that.


Be too, and I went back to the standalone community container


The price rboem problem is that the log file is inside the container in the www folder.

Edit: typo


The fact (IMHO) is that the logs shouldn’t be there, in a persistent volume.


I use SMTP2GO (with my own domain) with the free plan (1000 email per month) that’s way over a selfhoster needs.


I’ve read the article and I couldn’t see any implication of Seagate. I’m not saying anything about your story, shame on Seagate, but I don’t see what that has to do with the scandal in the article.


The entire point of selfhost is to host private services not available to the public
Probably your entire point, a lot of self hosters self host services that family members and friends can reach most of the time without the need of a VPN. This very community is full of examples.

It’s infinitely more secure

I’m with you about that.

There’s simply no room for an argument.

As stated in the other post, I’m sorry about that, I’m here to discuss and learn, if you don’t have room for an argument, our discussion ends here.

VPN is objectively better in all possible situations.

Exactly! in all possible situation!!!


Only a hardware firewall would do this. If it’s software, like implied in your post, no traffic is filtered and all connections are accepted.

Talking abut netfilter, since it manages also the forwardning, it for some strange reason it should crash, NO IP traffic is flowing

VPN is the least amount of work for the most secure setup. There’s nothing to even argue, its superior in every way.

If there’s nothing to even argue, then I say goodby to you since I’m here to discuss. All the best!


Well…if you edit your post after someone has replied to it at least specify what’s you’ve edited and don’t pretend that the answer that somebody else has already given you wasn’t about your non edited post!
If you (my mistake) wrote VPS instead of VPN, you can’t pretend that I’ve answered about VPN!
If you can convince your family member and your friends to use a VPN to use your service, that’s good for you, and I mean it!
But saying that it’s quite impossible to do that, I think that I’m speaking for 99% of the self hoster (is this correct in English? Bah, you got me!)


If for whatever reason your firewall is down, there’s unrestricted access to your server…

I don’t know what kind of firewall you use, but if my firewall is down there is NO traffic at all passing through!

And by the way, since I’ve replied to someone that don’t want to use VPN because he doesn’t want to give access to the whole network, I meant that he could use a VPN AND iptables to restrict the guest access to single services instead of the whole network.


Again, this is the reason VPS’ exist.

What? What’s the difference between a VPS and your home server? You may say that’s a good practice to separate things, so maybe have a a VM with public facing services and another with more private stuff reachable only with a VPN. But for something like Nextcloud, it needs to be public (if you’re not the only one using it), but it contains personal stuff and then comes the OP request!


ChatGPT summary:
The podcast episode “Byebye Raspberry Pi” discusses the evolving role of Raspberry Pi devices in 2025. The host evaluates self-hosting options, the growing appeal of thin clients over Raspberry Pi due to cost and performance, and the use of containers for flexible testing environments. They also touch on repurposing older hardware and share personal experiences with self-hosting and audio editing. The episode covers modern alternatives to Raspberry Pi, such as x86 computers, and invites audience feedback on their use of devices for hosting services. The discussion includes tips on managing disk space and remote access with WireGuard.




With Wireguard there’s really no reason.

Well, that’s kinda of a personal choice. If somebody needs to have services accessible by someone else besides him, that service can’t be behind a VPN (let’s face the truth: we know that we can’t ask all out relatives and friends to use a VPN).



No no, what I meant is that if I connect to your server without the certificate installed don’t I just get the warning and I can still get through?


Beside the fact that you would like to understand if you’ve done everything properly (that’s good, but I can’t help you here), a VPN on a smartphone can be always active. Mine is always on and I’ve never noticed any battery problem. If you prefer something simpler there’s Tailscale.


I don’t know much about certificates, but doesn’t that just alert the browser that the certificate is not trusted and you can decide if keep going or not?


Good question, I’m interested too. Personally I use this kind of mapping

volumes:
  - /var/docker/contanier_name/data:/data

because it helps me with backups, while I keep all the docker-compose.yaml in /home/user/docker-compose/container_name so I can mess with the compose folder whithout worrying too much about what’s inside of it 🙈




Have you had time to play around with it? How is it?



Thanks you very much for your explanation!


I’ve never virtualized OpenWRT, but with hardware passthrough I don’t see why it shouldn’t work.

@JackAttack@lemmy.dbzer0.com




Ok, got it. I didn’t understand your reply because the OP question was an SSH client that could sync SSH keys and password, not a way to connect to the machines.


I use backborg for backups. I wouldn’t use a storagebox (mounted on your VPS) because you would have data and backup in the same machine (problems with crypto and with human error like: ops, I’ve rm -rf everything 🙈😆) and with the same service provider. I’d use Backblaze B2 or Wasabi.


How do you connect to machines with SSH within the Tailscale app? For what I see the Tailscale app doesn’t have any SSH client



I don’t understand your message. What did you wanna say with “proprietary directly” and “unlock Nextcloud”?


Looking for an orders and stuff tracking software to self host
Hi all! I often struggle to remember where/if I've ordered a product (my email account is a mess, my own fault!), how much I've paid and if it was for me or for some member of my family. Is there a self hosted service that you've tried and find helpful that can do this kind of job?

Immich: upload also duplicates
lock
Hi all! I've just installed Immich and so far I love it! I'm trying to upload about 1000 pictures, but in the upload process (web UI) automatically evaluates the duplicates and don't upload them. The ones that it evaluates as duplicates are not real duplicates, but are rather very similar pictures that I prefer to decide myself which one to keep. Is it possible to disable the duplicate recognition during upload? Thanks!

E5-2620 v2 vs i7-6700k
Hi everybody! I want to move my selfhosted services from a VPS to a PC in my house. I have an E5-2620 and a it-6700K, which one would you pick and why? The E5 already has 2 PCI-X each with 4 NIC (that I need to use with OpnSense to share my Internet connection with my neighbor) that I would need to throw away and buy as PCIe for the i7. Thanks!

Selfhost and play Spotify playlists
When I go on vacation I prefer to keep my smartphone with WiFi and mobile data off, but I really don't like the way Spotify handle offline content. Most of the time it doesn't download everything and when I do a research, it show me even content that's not available offline (how can it do that?). Is there a selfhosted service that I can use to download my playlists and play them with an Android app that can download them?

VLAN question
I've finally been connected to a fiber connection 2,5/1Gbps! 🥳 Now I want to share my connection with my neighbor and so I've installed 3 PCIx dual 1GB nic (I'm out of PCIe slots 🤷‍♂️). The connections comes from my OPNsense to the server (Proxmox) via a 10Gbps fiber connection. I want OPNsense to take car of firewalling dividing the neighbor networks with VLANs. The OPNsense part is done and working, I need to assign to each of the 6 1Gbps NIC each VLAN. I've tagged the traffic going into the server via the fiber connection, but now how can I assign each VLAN to each NIC? Thanks! Edit: Proxmox has nothing to do in the equation, it just happens to be on the same server where the NICs are.

[Jellyfin] PCIe x4 graphic card for transcoding
I have only a PCIe 2.0 x4 and a PCIe 3.0 x16 free and I need to install a 10Gbps SFP+ card and a graphic card for transcoding with Jellyfin (the CPU is an old E5-2620 v2). Since I can't find any SFP+ card that is x4, do you know a graphic card with decent transcoding capabilities (I'd day 2 4K simultaneously) that is only PCIe 2.0 x4? Edit: the x4 slot is full length.

Used NetApp 6TB SAS for 38€???
I've found these [NetApp SAS Festplatte 6TB 7,2k SAS 12G 3,5" - 111-02374 E-X4064A-R6 ST6000NM0034](https://www.gekko-computer.de/en/Parts/Hard-Drives/SAS-28440.html), that cost only 38€! It's a brand that I've never heard about and I've no idea how many hours they've worked (I've asked and I'm waiting for an answer). What do you think? Edit: I've asked the seller if there is a custom firmware that makes the drive unusable and it answered me saying that they work with any SAS HBA controller. They have worked 1863h and written 130TB (he showed me 4 screenshots of 4 tests of 4 drives)

Damn SAS connector! I got the wrong cables.
Hi all, I've bought 2 Dell H310 6gbps SAS HBA controlelr with cables, but the cables have the wrong connectors (for me). They have this: ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/bfacb5ac-3a67-4f41-9f08-bf5504b17205.png) While my drives have this one: ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e746596f-f423-403d-bb10-2ec2e1514b32.png) What's the name of those 2 so that I can sell mine and buy new ones? ...or should I just cut the side of these and power supply connectors? 🤔

Do you encrypt your data drives?
Fellow selfhoster, do you encrypt your drives where you put data to avoid privacy problems in case of theft? If yes, how? How much does that impact performances? I selfhost (amongst other services) NextCloud where I keep my pictures, medical staff, ...in short, private stuff and I know that it's pretty difficult that a thief would steal my server, buuut, you never know! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Selfhosted systrem to monitor daily incoming email (backup reports)
Hi all! I've been looking for a selfhosted system that can monitor one or more email accounts and check if a certain email with a particular subject arrives every day (or every x hours) and alert me if it doesn't (or if the subject is different). I need this to check if backups from different PC have run or not. The best thing would be to integrate it with Uptime Kuma. Any idea? Thanks! Edit: I'm switching all my backup software to Restic (Autorestic on Linux machines) so I can send a ping to Uptime Kuma when every single backup successfully ends.

Self hosted AI chat like OmniGPT?
I've just discovered OmniGPT that seems to be a chat where you can interact with different LLM (Claude, GPT-4, Llama, Gemini, etc.) and costs $16/month (it was $7/month until a week ago 🤦‍♂️). I've read on a [Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTPro/comments/1bg0p0h/comment/kv4ya0g/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) that it uses the APIs of all the provider that is a thing that can be done for free using a personal account (since the API limit seems to be high). Do you know something like OminGPT that can be self hosted that uses users API keys?

New home server: what hypervisor/OS?
I have a couple of home server, both with Proxmox as hypervisor, one VM with Ubuntu 22.04 that does just Docker containers, one with Open Media Vault, one with Home Assistant (HA OS) and a couple of Windows VM to do some tests. Since I wanted to move from OMV, right now I see 2 options: - stay with Proxmox and find another NAS OS - use Unraid as NAS and hypervisor What other option would you suggest?

ADMIN, isn’t it time to move from lemmy.world?
Every time I try to access this community, ther's some kind of problem with the server. If you have a look at the [status page](https://lemmy-world.statuspage.io/), it's almost all orange/red. The problem aren't DDoS attack since the server is behind Cloudflare protection. Admin/mods, why don't you move this community to a different ~~server~~ instance? I'm not accusing anybody, I know that maintain a server can be a challenging sometimes, I just want to enjoy this community! Please! @Loki

r/selfhosted is still rising, WTF? Come to Lemmy!!!
Hi all! I used to be a daily r/selfhosted lurker and a bit active user. Since the Reddit saga I thought that r/selfhosted would be one of the first and bigger community to move to Lemmy due to the IT knowledge of all of their users and the sensitivity about self host/privacy/open source, but I see that not only the community is still all there, but [it's rising](https://subredditstats.com/r/selfhosted). :( That really makes me sad. How can we convince the mods there to move people here? Is it allowed to talk about Lemmy on Reddit or do we risk of being banned?

Where do you store your purchased tickets (movies, flights…)?
Hi all! What do you use to store ticket that you purchase (flights, movies, etc.)? Is there a valid self hosted service with an Android app? Thanks!
