Selfhosting services to make life easier for my parents? reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AhmedBarayez 路 2023-12-09 11:50 So, i have my parents starting using smartphones lately and they are HEAVY streaming users 馃槀 They are both +60 years old and i was wondering if there are any selfhosting service can make anything easier for them in their daily phone/internet usage Currently i've already installed \* ADGuardHome \* Jellyfin - but it's still on testing vm- I don't have any smart IOT device, so suggesting smart devices won't help ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ThinkExtension2328 路 2023-12-09 12:25 Navidrome is a pretty sweet self hosted music server akin to Spotify ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ZombieLinux 路 2023-12-09 12:29 Vaultwarden. Have them put all their passwords in there. As they age, you may have to do more technical things for them and lost passwords can be a bear to undo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Toutanus 路 2023-12-09 13:00 A wireguard tunnel to use adguard when not at home. And make sur to use this tunnel only for selhosted server or they'll have a lot of problems with streaming. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AhmedBarayez 路 2023-12-09 13:06 Thank you but we use Spotify family plan so.. i won't need a music player at the moment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AhmedBarayez 路 2023-12-09 13:06 That's actually a good one ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AhmedBarayez 路 2023-12-09 13:07 I'm using tailscale as my main vpn and it's been rocking i must say ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ZombieLinux 路 2023-12-09 13:49 While unpleasant, end of life planning is something a lot of us overlook. Designating someone technical to decommission or maintain all the infrastructure we set up for our families should be included with all our documentation. And part of why I avoid storing things in formats outside of flat bare files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AhmedBarayez 路 2023-12-09 13:51 I鈥檝e already taken care of eol situation a long time ago 馃檶馃徎 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bmaeser 路 2023-12-09 14:33 if they make lots of photos on smartphones: immich ---------------------------------------------------------------------- frozenunicorn 路 2023-12-09 15:38 Any advice to safely set an instance of vaultwarden on a public facing vps? I鈥檓 looking to do similar but my family may not be able to handle Tailscale so I鈥檇 like it to be just available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AhmedBarayez 路 2023-12-09 16:03 That's also a good one ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ZombieLinux 路 2023-12-09 16:10 Reverse proxy, fail2ban, strong passwords, https, all the usual. I鈥檇 also put it on an unassuming subdomain. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Staalburger1973 路 2023-12-09 17:14 https://github.com/monicahq/monica ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 123liz123 路 2023-12-09 17:19 If one of them cooks, spin up a mealie instance for them. I made my mom her own after she saw some recipes on mine. And she uses it all the time.

Just a question, will you provide the library for jellyfin or they will download. Because that changes the narrative completely. I don't have in mind any recommendation that would benefit your parents, but my advice to you is to make sure you have a way to remotely ssh to fix things fast (if you don't live nearby) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AhmedBarayez 路 2023-12-10 11:24 I already have a remote option to ssh and access everything in case if something happened. For jellyfin, i update the library using radarr, sonarr, etc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Prestigious_Carry864 路 2023-12-11 07:46 Hosting Home simplifies life for your parents with easy-to-use self- hosting services.

Either way maybe jellyseer or ombi could be a way for them to "ask" for said content.
