Find Docker config files (self.selfhosted)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by Dust0741 to c/selfhosted

I want to find my docker config file.

This is for Dashy. I want to make a Widget (like this), but need to access the conf.yml file associated to Dashy. Also see this video @15:42 (invidious)

Dashy was installed (I removed the "-v" line like they said) via docker, and doesn't have any volumes mapped.


Edit: Well duh. I mapped /home/user/dashy/conf.yml to /app/user-data/conf.yml and filled my previous conf in and re-deployed and boom; perfection. Thanks for the help @[email protected] and @[email protected]

I want to use dashy, but would like to have it pull data from a temperature sensor I have on home assistant. Is this possible with dashy or should I just use homepage?

Is there a nice up to date list of companies like this that have clearly little desire to improve security or are just very anti consumer?

No adblocker built in, but Rethink DNS is a great app that will set up a local VPN and do firewall filtering and DNS filtering. There are other apps too and they should all work on any OS.

Personally I self host a VPN and pihole and stay connected to that

Grapheneos can be used almost identically to stock android. You can install google apps and use them or not. The biggest piece of it is the options.

There is no account associated to GOS. You can login to an existing google account etc, just like any android.

GOS has messages for SMS only. It had a Gallery app for photos and a files app for system files. There aren't many apps it comes with, so getting alternative apps is easy. Mostly via Fdroid (or droidify for a more modern looking app). For a better photos app, I recommend "Aves" For a drive app, a private option would be proton drive. Notes app can be anything you want, but GOS doesn't come with one. If you want to use google notes you can. I wouldn't recommend it, but you can. There are lots on Fdroid to choose from.

As for cloud sync, GOS doesn't do this, but again, you can use any other service you'd normally use to sync. I use Syncthing to sync a folder on my phone to a folder on my PC. That way I can have things like my photos easily on desktop and have backups.

As for app stores, GOS doesn't recommend Aurora because they don't sign the apps the provide, but I use it anyways, as it is the best way to get apps without a google account.

You definitely don't need your own Nextcloud or Homelab. I prefer paying for hardware I own instead of cloud things, but both have good positives.

Also, your questions aren't stupid their great! You're just learning about this stuff that that's amazing. Keep learning.

That's a good idea.

Probably just a shell script. Someone mentioned using curl so that'd be pretty easy

ISP junk generator (self.privacy)
submitted 2 months ago by Dust0741 to c/[email protected]

Is there something that can generate random Internet usage to make the real sites I go to a bit obfuscated?

I'm thinking something that runs on my server, and simply visits a random website. It probably shouldn't actually be random, and some sort of tweaking would be great. Like the ability to have it visit every news site there is. That way the ISP will have a harder time telling my political bias.

The threat model for this is below using a VPN for normal usage, although getting a dedicated VPN IP address is a project for one day.

ADSB RTL-SDR help (self.opensource)
submitted 2 months ago by Dust0741 to c/[email protected]

I'm trying to setup adsb on a mini Linux box I have.

I have a rtl-sdr. I want a webpage I can access hosted on the box to see the map of the data I know I need a decoding software and webpage one I dont want to feed my data to any of the adsb sites I want to be able to use this without internet, so downloading OSM maps is ideal

Some software ive found: readsb decoding tar1090 for webpage

Is there any good tutorials for this? Also I dont love just running a shell script, so have the above been verified as safe?

Thanks!

I am wanting to switch from Jellyfin to VLC. I cannot find any tutorials or explanations on how to do this. I have a Ubuntu server with media files on it, and on VLC, the server shows up under the "browse" > "local network" Section on the VLC android app.

The icon says "smb" on it, which seems like the protocol used, however when I click on that, it takes me to a "print$" folder which then asks for the login credentials. The username and PW for local account doesn't work.

How do I get access to the folder of media on VLC? (Call it /mnt/hdd1/my media)

Edit: FTP works with VLC, but a slightly better interface can be had with Kodi

I would like a program or website to connect to a computer and be able to edit a file there.

Say I have a server. Call it 192.168.1.2 Say I have a file. Call it /data/editme.txt

I want either a simple link I can bookmark to edit this file, or to a note app (such as Joplin or Obsidian) and also be able to edit this file.

I tried using Syncthing, however I would rather not have to sync the file from one location to another. This file has no need to be stored in multiple locations.

Anything that'll solve this for me?

Hi. I'm new to HA, and am looking for physical button recommendations. I got tasmota smart plugs, and those just needed HA's mqtt add-on and tasmota integration. They work like a charm. Now I want to get a physical button (wired or battery) that I can use to toggle the smart switches. I also would like to do this in the most private way possible. I noticed that the smart plugs only connect to npt.org, which is perfect. Is there a similar option for buttons? I dont have ZigBee or Zwave products or anything, but that is an option.

I found this button and it uses ZigBee. Is this the best option.

Alert on no VPN handshake (self.selfhosted)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by Dust0741 to c/selfhosted

I self host a wireguard VPN at my home. I use the official wireguard app to connect on my android.

Is there a way to be notified if my phone can't complete a handshake in 10 minutes or something?


I thought of using uptime kuma to send me a telegram notification if I disappear, but in the case of a power outrage or internet outtage (only at home) then this would be useless.

Is there anything that can do this on my phone with minimal battery usage?

[-] Dust0741 3 points 5 months ago

Hmmm how is Beeper? Isn't it run on someone's Mac instead of your own? Is it FOSS?

[-] Dust0741 3 points 5 months ago

Again agreed, however some people either won't switch, or it would be more convenient to just use iMessage

[-] Dust0741 5 points 5 months ago

Agreed. However, iMessage is better than sms. And I am trying my best to remove sms from my life

Have any of you android users setup an iMessage server such as BoueBubbles or AirMessage? Or some similar?

If so, how well does it work? Is only an apple account required? Do apple users send your email an iMessage? Also, was it easy to setup?

Thanks!!!

I'd like to run a VPN locally, and am just double checking I understand the security correctly.

I want to run Wirwguard easy via Casaos on Ubuntu server.

My router will port forward a high port number, check daily for updates, and I'll update the server weekly.

Is there anything I'm missing?
