What is the one thing every self-hosted household should have? reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 07:49 Let's keep it simple. I'm sure most of us are proud of Docker CPU cycles charted in Grafana via Prometheus, but I'm talking about the house as a whole. My personal favorite is turning out to be [Mealie](https://mealie.io/). I self-host a bunch of things for my personal use, but Mealie definitely takes the cake in terms of benefitting the entire household. I like the meal planner and the ability to hit the supermarket once to get all the necessary groceries for the week (I've never been able to achieve this before). I don't think there is anything in my stack that even compares with the benefits my house gets of out Mealie. My runner up would have to be any of the **self-hosted media players** (Plex, Jellyfin, etc.), but we also have Netflix and a bunch of streaming services, so not that impactful. **Home Assistant** would also be a close runner up, but it only provides great benefits for me, not the rest of the house. I think **Immich** will be on this list shortly, when it matures a bit more (are we able to import existing photos yet?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HungarianManbeast · 2023-10-16 08:01 Nextcloud ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FalseRegister · 2023-10-16 08:03 Pi-hole It's the simplest and most useful addition. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-16 08:04 DNS blockers (AdGuard or PiHole). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 08:09 My wife hates it. I had to get her devices excluded from Pihole. She digs the ads... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 08:10 What do you use it for? I've been trying to find a good use for it but come up empty handed every time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-16 08:12 Seriously? My wife and kids always get shocked when they access the internet not from their device and see all the adds. Like my daughter’s school computer is full of adds at school but none at home. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- einmaulwurf · 2023-10-16 08:15 Jellyfin! It was the reason why I got into self hosting in the first place. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Old-Knitterhemd · 2023-10-16 08:15 Don't you have data?!? How can one not have a usecase for nextcloud? Photoupload from mobile devices, calendar, contacts, filesync on all devices... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- djmykey · 2023-10-16 08:21 I have google so no need of contacts / calendar. I use FolderSync to back up photos to a CIFS share which is on a RPi. Don't keep any other data on the phone so no other use case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 08:23 I forgot to mention I have a Synology Nas which does all that and I like it better. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 08:24 Yeah. I use it religiously (I have 3 of them) but wife wants to click on ads and have them work, especially ads in SERPs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Extremist_Enterprise · 2023-10-16 08:27 Vaultwarden for me and my gf. No more compromises on password length and the peace of mind of having everything stored on your machine ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-16 08:31 I had to lookup what a SERP is. Any idea why she does that? We always laugh on how inaccurate adds are, especially on Youtube where you can’t really block them. I get adds for stuff I do not care one bit about; their AI is really bad. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bufandatl · 2023-10-16 08:35 Awareness of security and vulnerabilities. Hosting anything is easy doing it secure is the hard part. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- koollman · 2023-10-16 08:36 backups ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arcadianarcadian · 2023-10-16 08:43 \- Backup documents, \- Backup photos, \- Taking notes, \- PhoneTrack, \- Contacts, I do organize on my server within Nextcloud. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arcadianarcadian · 2023-10-16 08:44 Why anyone should have ? If there is no media interest why we should have? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Old-Knitterhemd · 2023-10-16 08:45 My Homenetwork is only reachable by VPN. My NAS is data storage only and I have no port open to the outside. I have a VPS for external services like nextcloud. NAS syncs to nextcloud via Cloud Sync. Photos get uploaded instantly on the go and sync to the home NAS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- olluz · 2023-10-16 08:54 It‘s probably about not being able to click on the Google top results, the ones where they actually earn money from. My wife and kids hate that too ---------------------------------------------------------------------- justinh29 · 2023-10-16 08:58 Automatic Fire extinguishers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-16 08:59 I had to look up what that is, I’m glad I never see that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AlertKangaroo6086 · 2023-10-16 09:05 I don't have anything to share about services around the house, but to answer your question about Immich import of existing libraries, it looks like you can do that now according to the latest update! https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/170owzc/immich_selfhosted _photos_and_videos_backup/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thelinedpaper · 2023-10-16 09:11 Crowdsec for security. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HungarianManbeast · 2023-10-16 09:19 Automagic backup of the photos from all of the family phones. Library for all of my digital books and comics. Sharing stuff with my friends. On prem chat with Friends and Family. Doing Video calls. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ozzeruk82 · 2023-10-16 09:25 Homer - as your dashboard with links to everything you host. My wife has it bookmarked and from there can access anything else we host. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mtrueman · 2023-10-16 09:30 Yep, my wife has complained about this... "bloody internet isnt working AGAIN" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- apperrault · 2023-10-16 09:32 I like Mealie too, just installed it the other day. I also found a companion app for Android that add it to the Share-with button so if you are browsing a recipe on your phone, you can share it to Mealie and it will import it for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ReferenceLive · 2023-10-16 09:38 Yes, that's a problem. An in-browser adblocker is better since it removes those results so you don't have the problem where you click something and then it doesn't work. For some searches (where I'm trying to buy something) I even actively disable my adblocker and click on 1 or 2 ads. Because those can be quite useful if you're looking for that product. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ro55mo · 2023-10-16 09:42 I use it to store all my documents, (self hosting) notes, music and photos. Phone client auto uploads pictures I take so I have no functional restriction on image upload storage. I suppose the phone client could be more feature rich but if you have a laptop you can access everything you have from anywhere in the world. It also provides the '2' in the '3-2-1' as it is the 2nd copy of the local data. First is on PC, second is on the Nextcloud server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- natriusaut · 2023-10-16 09:43 Does mealie have a simple storage-system? Like, whats the stock on rice and noodles and whatever at home for the recipe? I looked at grocy and its incredible bloated and complicated to set up. If grocy would have a set of default-stuff included it would probably be amazing but the set up process is... annoying. /u/apperrault as well maybe? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- seidler2547 · 2023-10-16 09:44 Home Assistant and LMS (Logitech Media Server) are the two things that are permanently displayed on the hallway touchscreen and they are used **all the time** by everyone in our household. There are more things like Seafile and E-Mail that are being used heavily, but HA and LMS are the most "visible". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- apperrault · 2023-10-16 09:51 So mealie uses a database backend. I am running it in a docker container, with a postgres database. I have only poked around a little bit, and haven't gotten into the depths. I agree that grocy is overkill and bloated. One reason I went with Mealie is I live finding recipes online to try later and usually I either print them or email them to myself, and then forget about them. This also has a meal planning feature. It is also multi-user so I can add family members and share recipes and meal plans. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- szayl · 2023-10-16 09:51 A properly configured router/firewall. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- privatetudor · 2023-10-16 09:56 My issue is they still show up but clicking them doesn't work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wanze · 2023-10-16 09:57 This one I can actually understand, and I think I even whitelisted them at one point. If I'm googling something, let's say "Netflix", the first hit is obviously Netflix, but before that, there is an ad – which is usually also Netflix. So now I have to deliberately scroll past the first hit instead of just instinctively clicking what I want. You probably don't notice this, because you also have an adblocker in your browser. But most people don't have adblockers, especially not on their iPhones. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-16 09:58 I use [this](https://hub.docker.com/r/11notes/adguard) container and don’t see that on google. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- privatetudor · 2023-10-16 09:58 I've been really tempted by this, especially since the LastPass incident. If you don't mind sharing, how do you manage external access? Do you open a port or use a VPN? I'd just be worried I would lose access when logging on from a new remote machine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-16 09:59 I use [this](https://hub.docker.com/r/11notes/adguard) container and don’t see that on google, on any device (just checked). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MarcSN311 · 2023-10-16 10:03 I think Immich is now able to work with pictures in an existing folder structure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LawfulMuffin · 2023-10-16 10:04 Do you also run an adblocker on your browser? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- StinkF1sh · 2023-10-16 10:05 Paperless, for documents ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wanze · 2023-10-16 10:09 Adguard is only DNS. It can't modify the Google results page. However, I just tested myself, both without ad-blocking DNS and extensions, and I'm also not seeing any ads on Google. Perhaps google removed those top-of-the-page ads? Perhaps my query just wasn't good enough. If I search for "buy clothing" without an adblocker, Google will show Sponsored results. Clicking some of those gives me an error, because `clickserv.darthsearch.net` or whatever is blocked. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DyceFreak · 2023-10-16 10:15 Sweet summer child... You just read a comment, meaning you engaged with media. If you're using the internet, you're consuming media... If you don't have any media interest; then by all means close this window and go outside. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sebasdt · 2023-10-16 10:16 well don't forget backups... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Database_Traditional · 2023-10-16 10:19 use reverse proxy, so if you host multiple services you only open 443 and 80, everything gets routed internally by the reverse proxy ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yowzadfish80 · 2023-10-16 10:20 Pi-hole, Home Assistant and Jellyfin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- timo_hzbs · 2023-10-16 10:21 You could use Cloudflare Tunnel + Access to restrict access to your application. But get a Wireguard VPN in place and just vpn to your home to access it. As the vault is copied on your end-device you only need the connection to sync the vault to the server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2023-10-16 10:23 [removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- maznaz · 2023-10-16 10:25 Similar situation here so I set up a widget on her iPhone so she can toggle it off for 30 seconds and now she's very happy with it all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gonzojester · 2023-10-16 10:28 I had to explain this to my family, especially my mother in-law. She thought I was monitoring her usage when she started her for a few days. I had to explain what was going on. Ultimately, I excluded her device. *sigh* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- useless_mlungu · 2023-10-16 10:33 Immich (yes you can add external libraries now), pihole, jellyfin, backups. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gregorianFeldspar · 2023-10-16 10:46 I run vaultwarden on an RPi and expose it through Haproxy on a VPS (IPv6 into my home net) where you need a client certificate to connect. Never lost any sleep over it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arcadianarcadian · 2023-10-16 10:47 I'm not storing multimedia such as videos or songs. I left them 10 years ago. The downvoters should be pro-Jellyfin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jbarr107 · 2023-10-16 10:48 I use Tailscale to remotely manage my internal devices. For self- hosted services, I use a Cloudflare Tunnel for public access, and I add a Cloudflare Application for restricted access. No ports exposed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy · 2023-10-16 10:49 Just to add to that: Wether [Pihole](https://pi-hole.net/) or [Adguard Home](https://adguard.com/en/adguard-home/overview.html) or [Blocky](https://0xerr0r.github.io) is "better" isnt important. Adblocking & privacy are interesting to a majority of people and these are not too complicated to setup, making them very great choices for selfhosting beginners. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-16 10:52 My bad, I forgot that I have an additional content blocker on my phone. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-16 10:53 Yeah forgot about them to be honest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mirisbowring · 2023-10-16 10:55 Does adguard also have a local dns resolver like pihole? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-16 10:56 Yes, I host my own resolvers via bind, no cloud DNS used. Its also faster than google and co that way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mirisbowring · 2023-10-16 10:56 ah, great - thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fisheess89 · 2023-10-16 10:57 The wife (or whoever does the cooking and shopping) is actually so organized that he/she uses an app to plan everything?! My wife wouldn't even have her windows desktop tidy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wanze · 2023-10-16 11:00 Are you seeing text ads at the top of Google now? I'm not, except for the Shopping suggestions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-16 11:01 Without content blocker on phone I see the adds on top, with content blocker I see nothing but the first search result. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KyroPaul · 2023-10-16 11:01 Yup probably my favorite selfhosted app. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- forwardslashroot · 2023-10-16 11:12 My number one is going to be my firewall, OPNsense. I would not use the ISP provided one. I'm, also, using this firewall VM as my reverse proxy, radius, ad blocker, DNSSec, DoT, etc. The second one would be my hypervisor, Proxmox. I use three NUC8 cluster with ZFS replication for my critical VMs such as the OPNsense, FreePBX, and some. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wanze · 2023-10-16 11:14 Odd, I can't reproduce the top ads. Oh well, not going to spend more time on it. But having the top ads being clickable when they're visible anyway is useful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- redoubledit · 2023-10-16 11:18 Electricity is a must have ---------------------------------------------------------------------- atheken · 2023-10-16 11:18 It does not track your pantry inventory, if that’s your question. Though, this is something that I think sounds good in theory, but would be a total pain in practice. For staples, we put them on a shopping list as we need to replenish, and if we have a recipe we want to try that calls for something out of the ordinary, we will add it to the shopping list. If you’re asking about how the actual data is stored, I have it configured to use SQLite, and you can have it take automated snapshots and put them in a backup directory. I don’t know if it can be used with any other DB, but SQLite is really my preference anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- amarao_san · 2023-10-16 11:19 I'd say that a local storage for family photos is essential. With backups. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tha_Reaper · 2023-10-16 11:21 Does she play mobile games where she gets bonuses by watching ads? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pesfreak92 · 2023-10-16 11:25 Pihole or DNS-Blocker at all. My girlfriend tells everyone that she can watch content on the internet without ads. I guess I can’t get a bigger approval rating than that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Extremist_Enterprise · 2023-10-16 11:26 I use Tailscale as my VPN/Tunnel Setup, no complaints so far. Very easy setup, install it on the host, install it on the clients and it just works. If i‘m not mistaken it uses wireguard under the hood. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DreamLanky1120 · 2023-10-16 11:27 Same :) I use Brave and have content filtering enabled. I'm not absolutely sure, but I think these lists https://easylist.to make all that stuff go away :) In Brave it's just a few checkboxes, but there are adblockers for every browser that can or do use this lists. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonteponte71 · 2023-10-16 11:31 Some kind of photo management and backup system. I never went the Google Photos route and am now very happy with using Synology Photos and doing backups of my entire diigital life with Synology Hyperbackup. Works great even when NOT exposing it to the internet. And of course Jellyfin for media streaming. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kn0xster · 2023-10-16 11:32 Mealie is nice and useful but it’s not been updated in a while and mine doesn’t import from 3rd party sites correctly very often these days. It could do with a little TLC to be fair. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- raunchieska · 2023-10-16 11:35 nah - tried that but it blocked too many sites that family used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CalderaCollapse · 2023-10-16 11:36 Check out this blacklist, https://oisd.nl/ Easily one of the best out there, and doesn't block those Google top results. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OtherUse1685 · 2023-10-16 11:36 Honestly you can just use bitwarden.

I rather use it only for notifications and update after checking the update path. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- atheken · 2023-10-16 12:09 Wow. That stressed me out just watching it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SpongederpSquarefap · 2023-10-16 12:10 Watchtower is mostly fine for that, but yeah I've had that happen a few times I avoid using it with a compose stack - prefer to do that manually or automated via cron ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EndlessHiway · 2023-10-16 12:11 Electricity ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DyceFreak · 2023-10-16 12:11 Yea this is /r/selfhosted you're out of your element Donnie. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bufandatl · 2023-10-16 12:12 Yeah I usually pin a version for a container in my ansible playbook and change it when a new version is available and I am ready to update. And then run my playbook which will pull the new version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UnacceptableUse · 2023-10-16 12:18 Pihole also blocks a lot of email click trackers too, so links in emails don't work in the default list ---------------------------------------------------------------------- m50 · 2023-10-16 12:27 Yeah, this is why I whitelisted it. Unfortunate, but oh so often are those the exact things I'm looking for, and need to scroll much further to find the same result otherwise. And same with guests, who get frustrated not being able to click those. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- servergeek82 · 2023-10-16 12:29 Self host your own search engine.

Sometimes they show me cheap Aliexpress knockoffs that fit the purpose but I wouldn't have known about if not for the ads. Unfortunately nowadays they often drown in those listings where they have a "variant" that is just the holder or replacement filter or other small accessory so that the price shows as "from ". Or the new "welcome deals" by Aliexpress themselves. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mtrueman · 2023-10-16 13:11 super, thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- readit-on-reddit · 2023-10-16 13:11 Exactly, my biggest problem are the false positives. Cumulatively, you waste a lot of time connecting the dots between clicking an non-ad element in a page and wondering why it does not work. Or an app not working properly in subtle ways. A solution looking for a peoblem basically. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- techyy25 · 2023-10-16 13:16 If you're going down this route then deffo 1password ---------------------------------------------------------------------- chuchodavids · 2023-10-16 13:19 I will get downvoted to dead but DNS blockers are useless this days. More the hassle than the benefit. Wife is going to hate it. Also, if you use adblockers on your cellphone and PC, it will work better than a DNS blocker. If you do any online shopping, it will mess with the whole experience, many redirects will also be blocked. It is just not worth the hassle in my honest opinion. Maybe if you are the only one using the internet will it make little more sense, but still. I have used every single one of them just to see if there was something i was missing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- chuchodavids · 2023-10-16 13:21 EXACTLY ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RaiseRuntimeError · 2023-10-16 13:23 My electricity flicked off and back on the other day.

Asking because I was considering using it soon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AK1174 · 2023-10-16 13:40 my dad hates how google ad links still appear (the ones at the top of google searches), but the DNS server doesn’t let you visit them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-16 13:42 You don’t get a downvote from me for sure. I deployed AdGuard for over 500 clients a few months back, so far not a single complaint (and that’s home use, not work use, so plenty of shopping and so on). I only use the default list. So far not a single complaint. One app doesn't work anymore and that's it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AK1174 · 2023-10-16 13:43 bitwarden actually doesn’t need to be connected all of the time. It can periodically sync with the vaultwarden server. So you can sync at home, and have access to the passwords on your phone/browsers that are already authenticated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy · 2023-10-16 13:45 Pihole already works very well and efficient with just the stock blocklists. Adding more and more lists or trying to find the holy grail of a single list is a rabbithole that leads nowhere. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy · 2023-10-16 13:47 No, Pihole doesnt have such categories itself. You can add custom lists tho for blocking. Or you could combine Pihole with OpenDNS by using OpenDNS as Piholes upstream provider. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DekiEE · 2023-10-16 13:48 Tags ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy · 2023-10-16 13:50 Yes. A lot of people still seem to think a UPS is overkill and expensive etc. But they have come far in the last decade or so. You can buy pretty good basic units for <100€ that easily cover a typical small homeserver plus modem, switch etc. Very good investment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy · 2023-10-16 13:51 > Automate patches > Automate container updates with Watchtower I disagree but to each their own of course. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- privatetudor · 2023-10-16 13:54 Why? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arcadianarcadian · 2023-10-16 13:59 I'm out only because I'm not self-hosting Jellyfin? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- readit-on-reddit · 2023-10-16 14:00 Tandoor recipes is another good meal planning app. I picked it because it seemed to have more features than mealie at the time.

Most of the things I host I can live without for a small time while I fix things if absolutely necessary. My passwords? Not the case. Also the levels of security you can throw on your Bitwarden account makes me comfortable with it being one of the few cloud dependent things I have in my toolbelt. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zim1985 · 2023-10-16 14:26 Mine did this a month or so ago and it ended up frying my PSU (must have done damage that only showed after some more usage).

Then I just do an automatic incremental backup of the database from the vaultwarden server to Jottacloud (using kopia) once a day. I’ve never had any data loss after about 2 years and it’s enough for me to not worry about it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- toolski · 2023-10-16 14:36 Get a certificate for https encryption and then set up proxy. I love it. I have two way sync from my iPhone and I can access my Vault via browser securely on my work computer when I need to get a password. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- toolski · 2023-10-16 14:38 That's what I thought about LastPass until LastPass stepped on it's crank. Never going external cloud password manager again. Yeah they focus on security because of the nature of their service but the nature of their service also means that they have the BIGGEST target in the world painted on their back and everyone's gunning for them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CactusBoyScout · 2023-10-16 14:39 I took the opposite approach with my PiHole setup and don't apply it network-wide. So only devices that I manually change the DNS on will have any blocking happening. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JudgeCastle · 2023-10-16 14:39 This is exactly the thread I love to see. Thanks for sharing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CactusBoyScout · 2023-10-16 14:40 Dunno where you're located but Costco has some pretty basic UPS options that are pretty cheap and go on sale regularly. I got two. One for my router/modem/NAS which are in one room and another for my NUC and work computer which are in another. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ImCorvec_I_Interject · 2023-10-16 14:42 It isn't essential to pay, but there are a couple features exclusive to paid plans that you might care about (and a few others you probably don't, like being able to use Duo or Yubi OTP as a second factor). # Included in $10/year personal plan * Built-in TOTP authenticator so you don't have to have another app. * Attachments (e.g., PDFs of important docs, pictures) - 1 GB per account * Bitwarden Send with files (in addition to text) * Emergency Access (designate someone who can access your account in an emergency) # Exclusive to $40/year family plan * 6 accounts that have all of the stuff from personal * Family Organization that can include all your family members, with multiple collections so you can sort things better (compare to Free Orgs: they only allow sharing between 2 people, and you can only create 1 Free Org. You can be in more if the other person creates and admins the Org, though.) * An additional 1 GB of attachment space for the group ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AstraRotlicht22 · 2023-10-16 14:43 It's pretty hard to lose your passwords with bitwarden because they are always stored locally as well. If my server crashes and I lost all my passwords on there I can just export everything from my phone and import everything to the new server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robo_Joe · 2023-10-16 14:43 A folder-based system is just a tag-based system where no item can have more than one tag. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CactusBoyScout · 2023-10-16 14:43 This is one thing I do not choose to self-host. Family photos are too precious to me so I'd rather just pay Apple to host them in iCloud. Plus that means the amount of storage taken up by photos on my phone is always automatically managed, which is nice. I haven't had to think about my photos, their backups, or their storage footpint in years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zim1985 · 2023-10-16 14:43 There are perks to paying for it as well. I personally pay for it for the extra security and to use it as my OTP provider as well. For $1 a month it's super worth it. I get my value out of it for the year in like a freaking week of use I use it so much. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robo_Joe · 2023-10-16 14:46 https://bitwarden.com/pricing/ You pay for extra features if you need them, or simply to support great software. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nebakanezzer · 2023-10-16 14:47 my stupid ass was like "what app is that? what does it do?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DistantRefaktor · 2023-10-16 14:48 No it is not. You can make tress with folders. That is the best thing about them. Tags are just ways to narrow down a giant list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Offbeatalchemy · 2023-10-16 14:49 I've been on the fence on this one. Is it really selfhosting for a piece of equipment that's expected to only work at home anyway? It uses a similar skillset sure but it's manually build/configuring a router vs a normal SoHo router. And i say this as someone who hoped router OSes 3 times this year alone. I'm leaning towards no but i can be persuaded otherwise. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Low-Chapter5294 · 2023-10-16 14:52 A cup is smaller than a bucket and larger than a jigger. There are 3.28 jiggers in a snifter and 9 snifters in cup. Everyone knows there are 11 cups in a bucket. Hope that helps. Merica. /s ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robo_Joe · 2023-10-16 14:52 What do you mean? Like `#fruit/banana`? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tyroswork · 2023-10-16 14:52 Not sure what you're talking about, I've been using PiHole for over 6 years now, no issues online shopping or anything else. Wife loves it too, we can't stand going on the Internet outside of our home ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Low-Chapter5294 · 2023-10-16 14:53 It seems like using Synology apps for everything is a closed source alternative to self hosting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 316Lurker · 2023-10-16 14:54 Oh that's pretty cool, I didn't realize it worked like that! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tyroswork · 2023-10-16 14:55 Like what, ad.doubleclick.net? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Expensive_Finger_973 · 2023-10-16 14:55 Pi-hole ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DistantRefaktor · 2023-10-16 14:56 Huh? How is that a folder? You just made the list show off fruits that are bananas or apples. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robo_Joe · 2023-10-16 15:01 I'm not sure what you mean about trees. You can nest tags, like I showed before. Is that what you mean when you say "trees"? So a file can have a tag `#fruit`, and another file could have a tag `#fruit/banana` and that's functionally equivalent to having a folder named "fruit" with a file in it, and a subfolder with the name "banana" in it will the other file in it. Folders are just tags but with a restriction that any given file can only have one tag. It's inherently more restrictive than just using tags. But that being said I'm not sure what you mean by "trees" so if I'm wrong about that then my whole comment stops making sense. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hangerofmonkeys · 2023-10-16 15:04 Why use both, did you find the Tailscale Subnet router which does essentially the same thing as CloudFlare tunnels not sufficient? Interested to hear your experience. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- szayl · 2023-10-16 15:05 There's not a snowball's chance in hell that I would expose anything externally if I didn't have a proper firewall set up. VLANs are huge when it comes to running devices that should be segmented away. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dimm_al_niente · 2023-10-16 15:09 Isn't a folder tree just an abstraction over a giant list of inodes, which is used to narrow down said giant list? I agree with your preference, though it really arises because the view of the data structure is what is different. Most folder tree viewers model the relationship in a way that is less redundant than a tag system with a flat topology, but at a lower level, they are really kinda the same structure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ApplicationException · 2023-10-16 15:11 A backup. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Simplixt · 2023-10-16 15:14 >yes you can add external libraries now OMG, I completely missed this update.

Don't forget to replace the battery after awhile. They don't last forever. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Scoth42 · 2023-10-16 15:15 It does add a bit of an extra layer, but I basically gave up on using pihole for family too. I keep it running, and just manually specify DNS for the devices I want to use it. By default everything just uses the base router DNS. I did have a whole complex DHCP setup that handed out the pihole DNS servers for the devices I wanted to use it but it got lost in a big setup shuffle awhile back and I haven't set it back up. That way I get the benefit for my stuff but I'm not having to tech support family/friends/wife/etc here. Although I do agree with you that Ublock Origin, Privacy Badger, and a couple other browser extensions seem to cover about 98% of my use cases too. I probably mainly use pihole for easier handling and management of internal static DNS entries than anything else. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy · 2023-10-16 15:17 Yeah but i wouldnt bother replacing the battery on a <100€ unit after a few years, probably not worth it based on price and might not even be replaceable. Also people should make sure that whatever unit they buy doesnt use some proprietary software but can be used with standard USB drivers so that things like NUT can be used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lalcaraz · 2023-10-16 15:19 Backup strategy ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ReckyX · 2023-10-16 15:20 Arr arr arrrrrr ;-) The full stack with qbittorrent and sabnzbd + Jellyfin.

But honestly $10/year is cheap enough for me to support Bitwarden. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kikako · 2023-10-16 15:33 Underrated! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OtherUse1685 · 2023-10-16 15:33 A lot more expensive, so no. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- readit-on-reddit · 2023-10-16 15:34 Nested tags form a tree. Consider the path: a/b/c With subfolders for "c": "d" and "e" And "d" has subfolders: "f" and "g" --- Now I can do Items in the path a/b/c are tagged #a/b/c Items in a/b/c/d are tagged #a/b/c/d Etc... Now tags form a tree/hierarchy. But **in addition** you are not limited by scenarios where a file could exist in two different trees but by nature of how folders work, it only exists in one. For example, a document that is both a receipt and related to work could be searched by either term or tree instead of folders where you would have to pick either a work folder or a receipts folder. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jbarr107 · 2023-10-16 15:34 IMHO, they serve different use cases. Tailscale is fantastic for accessing specific devices such as PCs, a SAN, the servers that host services, etc. I use Tailscale regularly to connect directly to the devices I need to manage. For the specific services, since Tailscale requires a client for access (it is a VPN after all) I wanted something else to control access to the services, and Cloudflare is the perfect match for my use case for when I'm "out in the wild" on a device that does not have my Tailscale client. For "open" services (self-hosted services that anyone can get to like a website) a Cloudflare Tunnel provides excellent control using rules without exposing ports. Similar to a Tunnel, for "restricted" services (self-hosted services only I and select users can access like file sharing, Kasm, Tilium, etc.) a CloudFlare Tunnel provides remote access to the specific service without exposing ports, and a Cloudflare Application provides a first line of authentication (over and above what the service provides.) And the user never touches my server until they authenticate, with Cloudflare in front. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TransCapybara · 2023-10-16 15:42 Folders are like hierarchical tags, but less useful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- badadhd · 2023-10-16 15:44 Syncthing, VPN, firewall/adblocker ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I_Saved_Hyrule · 2023-10-16 15:55 Same. She's on a hundred different mailing lists that send emails full of click-tracking links, and finds it frustrating when those don't work for her. I probably could spend more time than I want to figuring out how to white-list those specific domains, but... easier to give her phone a static IP address on our home network, and set her DNS manually to avoid the Pihole. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- msde · 2023-10-16 15:57 To be fair, some tools out there aren't good at visualizing a tag hierarchy for users who want to implement folders using tags. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VonButternut · 2023-10-16 16:01 Been using Joplin for over a year now, it's legitimately good.

I use Firefox mobile with uBlock so ads are not a problem, at least in the browser. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DistantRefaktor · 2023-10-16 16:28 Sure in certain cases. When everything is tagged similarly it makes no sense. My music is like this. It is pretty much all tag prog rock. My book collection is even worse.

But that's beside the point. In paperless, you can also exclude certain tags. So you would include action and exclude items tagged as adventure. You should also include tags that actually describe what you want to look for instead of thinking about things is not related too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robo_Joe · 2023-10-16 16:57 I don't use a lot of PDFs but I suppose that's a good point. If you have \*checks notes* ten thousand PDFs in your workflow, you might want to organize them outside of tags. I'd personally go with a file name convention, but a folder system works well enough. I use obsidian, myself, and I have folders for filesystem management, but I almost exclusively navigate to things via tags, not folders. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sysLee · 2023-10-16 16:58 What app are you using for sharing with mealie? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SpotGoesToHollywood · 2023-10-16 17:06 Maybe you could be interested in Obsidian or Logseq, with the Zettelkasten method ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SillyLilBear · 2023-10-16 17:06 I scan every document and will avoid keeping anything on paper I don't have to. It takes me only a second or so to file new papers in the correct location. It would be an absolute disaster to organize by tags only. I have the last 12 years of receipts for example for home and business all organized by year and category. If they all ended up in a single folder I'd be completely lost.

I didn't like how homarr lays out stuff, it was so big visually. Where Homepage is very clean and has integrations with things like NextDNS and SpeedTracker. I don't like the text editing, but it works well and haven't found better. I did use Heimdall in the past. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vypergts · 2023-10-16 17:29 Actually, here's a hack. Go on ebay and buy a used one for cheap. Then go on amazon or to batteries plus and buy a replacement battery. APC, Eaton, and CyberPower I believe are all good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IacovHall · 2023-10-16 17:31 my wife hated it, too... but when I had to turn it off for her it was then she realised how ad ridden her favorite apps, including duolingo, are since then, ad blocking is very most welcome and i also had to install tasker on her phone so that our vpn auto connects as soon as she leaves our wifi thus pihole is my first and wireguard/pivpn my second recommendation for self hosting. third is rustdesk. an example where this combination shines: my mother has a raspberry, running pihole and a wireguard site to site tunnel. pivpn does what it does, including protecting my not tech savvy mother from shenanigans like .zip Domains. the site to site tunnel allows me to do remote management on her local infrastructure and via rustdesk I can support her devices without being open to the internet or registering accounts with third parties. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- braverthanbrave · 2023-10-16 17:37 > Immich From their Github: ⚠️ Do not use the app as the only way to store your photos and videos. This kinda moves me away from even trying it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robo_Joe · 2023-10-16 17:40 >If they all ended up in a single folder I'd be completely lost. You should probably fix your naming convention if this is true. But to your point I wasn't discussing systems that don't have tagging built in, like PDFs. Folders are sometimes all you have available so if course they'd be appropriate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gdk2012 · 2023-10-16 17:43 Thanks, I'll check it out! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gdk2012 · 2023-10-16 17:44 Awesome, thank you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Big-Finding2976 · 2023-10-16 17:46 Can you use an Android tablet for that? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 17:49 This is what my wife mostly complains about ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WinterSith · 2023-10-16 17:51 When I Google a product and click the shopping filter any results that show as sponsored are blocked. I have to scroll down a bit to see the same results with direct links to amazon/target/best buy/etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tyroswork · 2023-10-16 17:58 Those are bad/ad-sponsored links anyway, you don't want to click them. That's a positive in my book, it's working as intended. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jwiggins0123456789 · 2023-10-16 18:07 We have Plex running a lot most days between my large cache of FLAC music and TV/Movies in the evenings. I also feel the pain of having to exclude the spouse from my AD blocking devices as it annoys her. The family has been using Kavita a lot for all our ebook collection and I can lock down things for my younger readers nicely. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- seidler2547 · 2023-10-16 18:13 Sure. I just use a Linux laptop that runs Chrome. Android Tablet with Fully Kiosk Browser will also works well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SaleB81 · 2023-10-16 18:21 >but its lack of folders Good to know. I have just yesterday prepared a few new containers, and wanted to add paperless too, as a possible alternative to future nextcluod, but I did not know that it does not have folders. Then I'll probably skip Paperless and go for Filebrowser or similar. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- virtualadept · 2023-10-16 18:21 Offsite backups. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dysonsphere · 2023-10-16 18:23 Interesting. Thanks for the tips. What can one expect for up time in the event of a power failure? I suppose you get what you pay for... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ChocoDarkMatter · 2023-10-16 18:24 I have to agree with this. Tags work fabulously as far as filtering, but does absolutely nothing to organize. Not the biggest issue but I sorely wish I could open a folder and see all my medical debt items vs having to rely on tags. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SaleB81 · 2023-10-16 18:26 >You can nest tags, like I showed before. It is now the first time I have read about the concept of nested tags. Is this a functionality specific to Paperless or do other tag implementations in other applications also have nesting capabilities? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robo_Joe · 2023-10-16 18:29 I've never used paperless, I use obsidian. But I feel like it's a pretty common thing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yodausta · 2023-10-16 18:29 Tailscale is like plug and play. I was at shock how easy it was to setup. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yodausta · 2023-10-16 18:42 I did start with shinobi for my nvr setup because of the easy install but home assistant integration is not that great. I swithed after 3 days. Frigate feels like it's made for home assistant. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- canoxen · 2023-10-16 18:43 Did you look into Tandoor? I liked working in Mealie, but didn't like that the ingredient lists were basically an open text box, instead of selecting from a drop down of measurement unit, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- apperrault · 2023-10-16 18:50 I haven't looked at that one yet. There is a docker container so maybe I'll spin it up ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MarcSN311 · 2023-10-16 18:59 It's a relatively new project. They just put that as a disclaimer because they don't want to be yelled at. If they or you break something. I've been using immich for quite some time and never lost any data. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TXAGZ16 · 2023-10-16 19:05 I got wireguard working in an LXC fairly easily. Migrated setups to docker and couldn’t get it after hours of working. Decided to do tailscale after hearing a lot about it, connected many devices in about 10 minutes lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DistractionRectangle · 2023-10-16 19:07 Nah, what you really want are restores. Lots of people setup backups and dont touch them until they really need it, only to find out their backup doesnt restore. Test out your restore procedures people! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DistractionRectangle · 2023-10-16 19:09 I think it's electron based ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve_1st · 2023-10-16 19:13 Home Assistant Definitely the best next step It's amazing how simple automations with some cheap ir motion sensors and self hosted tracking phones to see who is home /no one home to save energy on lights and heating Add the internet DVR *arr + jellyfin stack and you have a true smart home ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ExcitingTabletop · 2023-10-16 19:14 You're being downvoted, but should not be. People who are comfortable with tags, it's great. You can categorize things multiple ways, and basically have Venn diagrams. To people more used to hierarchy storage systems (eg folders), tags suck and are a nightmare. There's benefits to both. I personally like using both, but if forced to use one, I use folders. People can argue which is superior, but it's subjective and forcing people to use only one means half of the people will be dissatisfied. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ExcitingTabletop · 2023-10-16 19:15 Answer will be tags, which works awesomely for folks who like tags. If you prefer hierarchical storage to flat structure with search, it's not pleasant. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ExcitingTabletop · 2023-10-16 19:25 \*facepalm\* Freedom units originated from England, and were historically known as Imperial units. 'murica officially uses both metric and Imperial units. Most Imperial units have an official and legal metric equivalent. Imperial definition of a cup is 250 ml, for most Commonwealth countries. It is legally defined as 240ml in the US. 21 CFR 101.9 (b) (5) (viii) https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm ?fr=101.9 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SillyLilBear · 2023-10-16 19:29 I have zero naming convention. It's a waste of time. I scan in docs, they show up with date-time.pdf. I put them where they belong, and I use folders and visual previews to regcognize what I need. I can find almost anything in 10-20 seconds in a folder of 10,000 PDFs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robo_Joe · 2023-10-16 19:37 You definitely keep doing whatever works for you. I just think that a robust naming convention could be useful. If a particular file shows up in a search, for example, it can impart more information without having to know where that file is stored or opening it. But again, your system works for you and that's definitely all that matters in the end. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Certain-Argument-697 · 2023-10-16 19:42 Homeassitant, Vaultwarden, omv, AdGuard, Jellyfin, NPM, Nextcloud… ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ApplicationException · 2023-10-16 19:49 You do you, mate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SillyLilBear · 2023-10-16 19:53 It definately could be useful, but it is also a waste of time for me. I don't need file names, folders organize things very well. Receipts/Business/2023/Hardware. It doesn't really matter what's in there to me, I know what to expect. If I am looking for a specific one, I can look at the thumbnail preview, and figure it out pretty quickly, if I am really stuck, I can use search OCR data (which I almost never need to do). Even without this sytem, there is no way I'd drop 10K documents in one single folder. That is madness. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 19:55 Yeah, the wording is scary, but I have very high hopes for this project. Even in its current state it is very similar to Google Photos. There's another popular photo app, but the way their team behaves on Reddit had me looking in other directions. That's when I found Immich. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AstralProbing · 2023-10-16 20:00 Why would you store your photos in an app tho? Store them off app (ie in NAS) and use the app to organize/view them ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 20:00 Correct, it does not track your pantry inventory and I also agree that it would be a PITA to do so. However, I was watching a video on YouTube about this guy that uses Home Assistant heavily, and he is able to have HA alert him when his dishwasher pods are low. He basically tells HA when he's bought a new bucket of pods, HA knows a bucket has X pods, and his dishwasher is connected to HA, so it knows to subtract a pod for every cycle and alert when he's at Y pods left. I just don't know that tracking rice, pasta, beans, etc. is as straightforward or worth the time to be honest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 20:01 Tons of love for Proxmox. Everything I have runs on that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 20:01 Thanks! I will take a look! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AstralProbing · 2023-10-16 20:05 Home dashboards work even better if they are the new homepage whenever a new tab/window is opened. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FullMotionVideo · 2023-10-16 20:08 What I do is run a DNS blocker on my router for devices and use a free NextDNS account for my phone only. My problem is PiHole doesn't support IPv6 and Adguard does but doesn't allow the granular levels of nuance with preserving privacy in logging. Since I use an OpenWRT router I'm thinking of trying [their 'adblock' package](https://github .com/openwrt/packages/blob/master/net/adblock/files/README.md) and seeing how that holds up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 20:09 I think so and I think it is managed at a user level. User -> Manage Data -> Select Units in dropdown I haven't toyed with it yet because cups is what we use. I do not know if Mealie can automatically convert recipes that ask for 1 cup of flour to 240 grams of flour. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robo_Joe · 2023-10-16 20:11 Hey man, you do what works for you. I'm a "search and find" kind of guy, not a "navigate to a specific folder" kind of guy. That's probably the difference between us that makes us prefer one method over the other. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 20:14 1Password uses a secret key system which is needed in addition to your password in order to open the vault in a new device. This practically eliminates the worry of "is my password strong enough?" for me. Passwords is something that I'm OK with 1Password handling for about $30 a year. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DazzlingTap2 · 2023-10-16 20:15 It's really good at blocking android game/app annoying mobile ads, I used it well and that's before my university blocked the ability for us to use a private dns like adguard, quad9, cloudflare. Other than that, dns blocking gets destroyed by a proper adblocker like revanced, brave browser and modified apps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WinterSith · 2023-10-16 20:20 Why not? I'm more than likely buying what I want from one of those locations anyway? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tyroswork · 2023-10-16 20:22 I guess we have different definitions of what's good and what's bad. You seem to like ads and seeing products tailored to you, maybe Pi- Hole isn't for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dysseus · 2023-10-16 20:25 What should every self-hosted household have? a back up ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WinterSith · 2023-10-16 20:25 I dont want random adds, this is when I am searching for a specific product that i am interested in buying. This isn't really a big deal to me because if you scroll down a bit in the results you get what you are looking for anyway. I was just trying to say why some people may view it as messing up their online shopping. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 20:30 \+1 for Homepage! I use it for a lot of things. I have one instance for my home stuff and spun up a second one for work resources, instead of going through our horrible intranet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tyroswork · 2023-10-16 20:31 You should use a browser adblock plugin in addition to Pi-Hole (like uBlock Origin). If you do that, you never see those ad-sponsored links at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 20:32 I can get into my house via Wireguard. From there I can use my NAS. I don't have anything exposed to the Internet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 20:33 I use Synology contacts for this. All my contacts are stored in my NAS and sync to phone. Works really well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bubbayo21 · 2023-10-16 20:34 I trust too and pay to use Fido keys ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 20:36 This is what I do for Photos as well. I have one backup inside the NAS, two backups in the house, and two backups in the cloud. Hyperbackup works great. Oh, I have a third, offline, backup in the house as well on a RPi. Only comes on manually when I want to run the backup process. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 20:37 I hope you're running them via Gluetun which is missing from your list :) I have a similar setup. Single Docker Compose with Gluetun and then tunneled services. I also run a docker container with Chromium via Gluetun for sketchy stuff. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PuckSR · 2023-10-16 20:38 Why do you NOT have an adblocker on your iphone? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DarligUlvRP · 2023-10-16 20:38 My wife likes the adblocking, but i feel the same pain in lots of other matters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-10-16 20:44 Not a ton of love for OMV in the thread. I use it a lot, mostly as ZFS storage and hosting for docker containers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy · 2023-10-16 20:46 Yes? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- uzibeo · 2023-10-16 20:54 Thank me later! :) https://medium.com/@jonathanwrites/creating-an-add- to-mealie-shortcut-on-ios-68001a7192cc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- uzibeo · 2023-10-16 20:54 iOS version is here - you have to utilize shortcuts, but it works GREAT! https://medium.com/@jonathanwrites/creating-an-add-to-mealie-shortcut- on-ios-68001a7192cc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Scoth42 · 2023-10-16 20:58 My main goal was being able to use the same hostname both inside and outside. My internet connection didn't get along with hairpin routing, so if I wanted to, say, have my phone connect to my NextCloud instance with the same hostname both on my internal wifi and off it, I needed something. So my solution was pihole/static DNS that pointed the hostname to the internal IP on my wifi, but public DNS hitting my public IP with appropriate port forwarding. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- atheken · 2023-10-16 21:06 I mean, it can basically be "hey , add X to the shopping list". The issue with any of those automations based on timing is that they won't always reflect the ground truth without deep integration (like a connected scale under the spot where you keep the pods). This also just feels like a totally trivial annoyance. Even when I've forgotten to put milk on the list, I remember when I'm shopping. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DekiEE · 2023-10-16 21:09 You can put subdirectories in the consume folder and enable the subdirs as tags functionality and recursive consumer. This will automatically tag it with the name of the subfolder e.g. insurance ---------------------------------------------------------------------- diymatt · 2023-10-16 21:13 Electricity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SuperCat373 · 2023-10-16 21:15 Underrated comment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wanze · 2023-10-16 21:18 I said most people don't, I didn't say I didn't. I do have an adblocker. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SillyLilBear · 2023-10-16 21:21 I will look into that, I've been planning on moving to paperless, but the whole sub folder discussion got me concerned it might not be for me. I haven't really spent time on it yet. I recently just moved to Linux and got scanning working good just haven't dealt with that side of it (since using Dolphin File Explorer has been enough for now). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SillyLilBear · 2023-10-16 21:22 I really like it, I'd prefer to modify it by UI but it really isn't difficult and they have the best selection of integration/widgets I've seen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PuckSR · 2023-10-16 21:26 i guess my point is that it is just an extension you install for safari, it is easier than installing it on firefox ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mandus_Therion · 2023-10-16 21:35 Can you guide me to how ppl use proxmox? Why not just docker containers? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wanze · 2023-10-16 21:36 I actually do use Firefox on my iPhone, which has a built-in ad blocker. On my home network, DNS also does some of the lifting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- edthesmokebeard · 2023-10-16 21:36 A UPS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Certain-Argument-697 · 2023-10-16 21:37 I use it for smb sharing and backups, works pretty well alone in a raspberry pi 4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Girgoo · 2023-10-16 21:39 Pi hole for all phones ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PuckSR · 2023-10-16 21:44 I gotcha, just trying to spread the word that Apple recently allowed safari extensions and some of the extensions are ad-blockers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- No_Advice_1240 · 2023-10-16 21:48 I'm also on the Mealie train, it's a great little program. What version are you running? For whatever reason I have had a heck of a time getting v1 to run, though I haven't dedicated too much time for troubleshooting it yet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iluanara · 2023-10-16 21:55 I think he's not being downvoted because of his categorization methods but because of how he communicates with other human beings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- devilsadvocate · 2023-10-16 22:01 Yeah mine does the same. Lol. In reality I just whitelisted the ads she wants. Namely target, grocery etc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- devilsadvocate · 2023-10-16 22:01 I moved my family to DDG and Kagi to fix that specific complaint. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- devilsadvocate · 2023-10-16 22:03 Not docker based but active backup for business on a synology or xpenology (presumably) is pretty dang awesome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Watever444 · 2023-10-16 22:11 I was using it until I started using Immich for pictures and paperless-ngx for scanned documents. I might still find a use with it for calendar etc... But so far Google calendar has worked and is easier for the family (i know not self hosted). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Watever444 · 2023-10-16 22:13 Adguard is probably the one I like the most has it's used by everyone but no one sees it and better for kids. Otherwise i don't see what mealy have to offer compare to tandoori and other similar apps ? Most issue i have is with french recipe (we are french canadian) with theses tools vs books. It would be great if I could have Amazon tell me the recipe while cooking..... Any that does that ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheOriginalOnee · 2023-10-16 22:16 Same here, GF gets furious when some ads don’t load properly.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nikto_90 · 2023-10-16 22:19 Any suggested block lists to include? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheOriginalOnee · 2023-10-16 22:20 Check Duplicati ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pyofey · 2023-10-16 22:21 It doesn't support multiple devices (like in a hub-spoke model). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mow4cash · 2023-10-16 22:27 Whitelist them ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wanze · 2023-10-16 22:28 Safari content blockers were introduced in iOS 9, which was 8 years ago. ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Beastmind · 2023-10-16 22:38 Use docker on top of proxmox ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Watever444 · 2023-10-16 22:43 Same for me.

But haven't setup to use it remotely, internet speeds is probably an issue for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Watever444 · 2023-10-16 22:47 You have data stored on your device, sync won't work but everything else yes. I had my server down and it worked. Still can export I think.

Customer support instructed me to just backup my vault from my phone, delete my account and make a new one. It was like nothing ever happened ---------------------------------------------------------------------- idreamofjeanshorts · 2023-10-16 23:00 You should do something like pCloud or Icedrive anyways for backups as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jschwalbe · 2023-10-16 23:20 Did you try Tandoor? If yes: what did you like about it vs Mealie? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SawkeeReemo · 2023-10-16 23:21 I’m about to set up pi-hole here… would love to know how you made that widget!

Its all that files can be in multiple folders, not knowing wich one is the issue. Then the dates etc.. I would have love to get that at previous works. So many time it was confusing, even by trying to get the best folder architecture, there is always someone making copies of copies Everywhere and not fallowing any structure.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Redditburd · 2023-10-17 00:25 Tried Immich and immediately uninstalled it after a number of problems.

I fully understand tags. It makes sense for some things. I just don't like it for organizing my files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ErraticLitmus · 2023-10-17 02:44 I changed from Pihole to AdGuard because AdGuard has an OPNSense integrated plugin so it was one less thing to manage.

I've now got OPNSense standalone and a Unifi wireless hub. I started looking at OpenWRT but that seemed a little too piecemeal.

Anyone else? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hangerofmonkeys · 2023-10-17 03:33 Thank you for taking the time to reply. FWIW, I've no way of objectively saying if one method works better or not. I achieve what you're talking about without exposing any ports. I'll add the caveat that this is because my home network isn't behind a CG-NAT so there's no hard NAT appliance on my home WAN IP. I have a static IP (no NAT at all) so I can get a direct connection to home through Wireguard without routing through a Tailscale DERP relay. * I have 2x Proxmox hosts at home * 1x of the Proxmox hosts has the Tailscale client running on it as a subnet router * Both proxmox hosts run a gamut of services that range from backup services, K8's, PhotoSync and others * I use CloudFlare to create a DNS record for all my services and resolve it to my RFC 1918 addresses at home * E.g., emby.my.domain resolves to 192.168.1.101 * nextcloud.my.domain resolves to 192.168.1.101 * help.my.domain resolves to 192.168.1.102 and so on * I then expose my 192.168.1.1/24 network to Tailscale using the Tailscale Subnet router ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ImCorvec_I_Interject · 2023-10-17 03:35 You can't do it with Vaultwarden *if you're not self-hosting,* which is the context of the question I was answering. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MetalSavage · 2023-10-17 03:37 You take photos only with mobile devices then? My DSLR, doesn't work with iCloud Photos. And the hundreds of GB it takes up adds up. I use Network storage and off-site backups. I would like to automated the off site sync though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CactusBoyScout · 2023-10-17 03:41 Yeah basically just my phone. I definitely wouldn’t want to use iCloud if I was dealing with tons of massive DSLR files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cholz · 2023-10-17 03:46 I was using openvpn for a while and I just took a two week trip away from home where I was incredibly frustrated with the poor performance of openvpn while on the poor quality hotel WiFi. That prompted me to finally figure out WireGuard and wow I am impressed. It’s like I’m always on my home WiFi now, absolutely seamless. Anyway just thought I would plug WireGuard if you’re at all dissatisfied with ovpn. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bufandatl · 2023-10-17 04:10 Nah that is to little monitoring for my taste I use Prometheus and grafana. And is still an annoyance and so I‘d rather get notified by watchtower that a new version is available and read ahead and do the right steps ahead instead of afterwards. Because I once even had dataloss due to auto update and had to restore from a backup. Too much annoyances in automated updates at times. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MetalSavage · 2023-10-17 04:13 Google Home ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gromhelmu · 2023-10-17 04:21 Yes, as Beastmind said below (or above), I combine unprivileged LXC maintained in Proxmox with Docker nested inside: The advantages: - I can tear down and recreate whole docker systems, not just single containers; (testing something? Create a new LXC, setup Docker; test & tear down afterwards with `docker system prune --all`) - better separation of concerns, different docker containers that don't belong together from a data/security perspective run in different LXC - I can use read-only bind-mounts from my Proxmox Hypervisor to delegate data to Docker services where I don't want to modifications made, e.g. Photoview App, Funkwhale Music App, Nextcloud External Datalink - this is stuff that can be viewed through the app, but not changed - Better backups; I have a "maintenance LXC" where I mount all data that needs backup; then borgmatic & rsync can do their job - I have about 10 unprivileged LXC with about 25 Services, the Hypervisor's CPU averages 1-2% utilization - to me, LXC are just another organization layer - If I need security as well, I can create fully virtualized VMs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 13myths · 2023-10-17 04:24 Check out YouTube videos by Christian Lempa, DBTech or network chuck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LazyTech8315 · 2023-10-17 04:49 Just tell them to use duckduckgo.com.

My family and I have individual Trillium instances. Being used by friends and family on a day to day basis for more than two years. Mainly I use Trillium as a knowledge base for work, personal projects and life, which is searchable and pages can be linked to each other. I self host it within my servers, so every note is in one place. Can be accessed via mobile web interface too . Another great aspect is any note is not only a note but can work as a "folder" too. Apart from simplicity, it has some powerful features like formatting, code highlighting and search. While there are many other features which I don't use that much. In my extensive search I could not find any better alternative. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LazyTech8315 · 2023-10-17 15:50 Oooooh, excite.

Well, documents being scanned. From what I can sort, it seems my scanner scans directly to a file, as it's scanning it's dumping the processed data. That means when the scanner starts a file is created in the paperless-ngx input location. Paperless-ngx jumps on any new file in that location, since the file is incomplete it errors and then refuses to touch the file ever again. There might be a fix but I haven't invested the time to even try, if this doesn't work what else doesn't ---------------------------------------------------------------------- havock · 2023-10-17 18:25 This, and links in store emails ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Delantri · 2023-10-17 18:43 It is ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MrDrMrs · 2023-10-17 18:44 I’m in the same boat.

I’ve been trying to force myself to like paperless-ngx but I just want folders! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gromhelmu · 2023-10-17 18:48 > How did you manage mounts in an unprivileged LXC? There are two things you need to do as a preparation. 1. Provide user mappings. I use "samba_user" (for historical reasons) on my Hypervisor as a data owner. I map this user to www-data inside unprivileged LXC with this (add to your LXC configs that need mounts): ``` lxc.idmap: u 0 100000 33 lxc.idmap: g 0 100000 33 lxc.idmap: u 33 1005 1 lxc.idmap: g 33 1005 1 lxc.idmap: u 34 100034 65502 lxc.idmap: g 34 100034 65502 ``` 2. Add `root:1005:1` to both `/etc/subgid` and `/etc/subuid` Then add mount points as read-only, e.g.: ``` mp0: /media/secure/proxmox/backups,mp=/pm_backups,ro=1 mp1: /media/secure/nextcloud/data,mp=/nc_data,ro=1 mp2: /media/secure,mp=/tank_hdd ``` The `ro=1` indicate read-only mounts. I have shared some of these configs [here](https://du.nkel.dev/blog/2022-01-21_proxmox_root_migration/). For docker, it depends whether you are using ZFS or not. I have written [a guide here](https://du.nkel.dev/blog/2021-03-25_proxmox_docker/), there are also links. This approach needs a "workaround" (in case of ZFS), but it is still stable, I am using it since Proxmox 4, across upgrades, without any issues. Since about 2 years with ZFS, also no issues. Note that with ZFS 2.2.0, the workaround will not be needed anymore, as user-space management of ZFS volumes becomes possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MrDrMrs · 2023-10-17 18:51 I use wikijs for this ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SamVimes341 · 2023-10-17 19:47 !thanks.

The automatic graphing of relationships between notes and ability to build databases of notes is something I've never seen before. Idk if it's enough to make me want to switch from Joplin though. For someone building a knowledge base that they (and others) reference Obsidian looks like the best thing I've ever seen. Simple (and boring) man. I just like a nice multiplatform e2e self hosted open source multimedia note app with markdown and tags. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aztracker1 · 2023-10-18 04:21 Mine will go off WiFi to watch ad videos for in game points on her phone...

So a cup of flour has a different weight than a cup of sugar, which means that for conversion each ingredient that is measured in cups needs to be looked up ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SpotGoesToHollywood · 2023-10-18 07:27 FYI Obsidian's killing point is the rich ecosystem, fueled by cool plugins. Since I used both Joplin and Logseq (plus org-roam through Emacs, that I think is the best but simply not for everyone), I concluded that Obsidian is the better bet. https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/ Dataview is usually referred as the best feature...

It's a really a pain when you have a old desktop that you use to self host lol at least it supports automatically switching on when electricity comes back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DundasKev · 2023-11-09 20:40 What exactly is Gluetun bringing to the party? I don't get it, but I'm not advanced in this stuff. I do have the proxy stuff set up on my qBitTorrent. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-11-09 20:50 It is a VPN. So anything that reaches the internet via gluetuns network is going through a VPN. If gluetun is not running, nothing that uses it's network will be able to reach the internet which is a good kill switch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DundasKev · 2023-11-10 15:12 Ah ok, so like a NordVPN hosted locally to give you more control? But you'd still need to subscribe to a VPN service wouldn't you? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-11-10 18:02 Correct, but VPN providers see this as one connection. You could have multiple containers connected to it without going over the limit of connections. It is also pretty easy to set up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DundasKev · 2023-11-10 21:04 OK thank you for explaining it to me! I didn't see the value-add until you said multiple-containers connect to it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puckpuckgo · 2023-11-10 21:14 Well there's that, but the "kill switch" offers zero chance of leaking your details by default. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AbeIndoria · 2023-11-12 04:41 > Paperless-ngx jumps on any new file in that location, since the file is incomplete it errors and then refuses to touch the file ever again. > > There might be a fix but I haven't invested the time to even try, if this doesn't work what else doesn't The fix is to scan the file elsewhere and move it once it works.

Kopia seems to work fine, even has a kopia-server ui.
