Huh. I recently set up local dovecot for archiving old emails, but not S3.

I'm curious, when you work on a document, how does that work; Is it a file on your hard drive, have you mounted a bucket somehow, do you sync using restful api somehow?

Yes, before doing major changes i usually run a snapshot

I listened to https://thehomelab.show/ podcast today, and they mentioned that before doing major upgrades, you could create a clone VM from latest backups and test the upgrades before doing them for real. That way you both ensure safe upgrade and also make sure your backup is restorable.

It sounded like a good idea, but it got me thinking of the size of my LXC filled with user data.. So I was wondering if I was doing it wrong

Do you use reverse proxy?

One of the reasons I use a single lxc is that I can reverse proxy containers without exposing ports / http to the LAN, it seemed like a good feature to me.

Interesting! I felt S3 was more a business cloud storage api.

I did a quick search, and it seems neither syncthing or jellyfin is compatible with S3. What do you do in these cases?

Agreed! It has been solid. Though sometimes I want something smaller 🫣 But with room for disks😅

I use my old gaming computer, before that I used a raspberry pi. The Pi is sufficient for a lot of things.

Managing the dockers doesn't take that much effort. Setting things up did take a lot of time, in many small chunks. I never use the :latest tag, and do manual updates. This way things rarely breaks

clementines is a shopping list program. it sounded nice, but I couldn't get the installation working https://davideshay.github.io/groceries/

I have been using memos too, but I am switching to silverbullet now. I was trying to take/read some notes on an airplane, and memos didn't work offline. So that is the reason for switching. The developers said offline support is on the roadmap, and suggested using telegram integration for offline note taking until then.

I mainly use gitea for revision control of my docker compose file these days.

Ah, yes when I had iPhone I also didn't use syncthing. But now I use Android and like syncthing better than Nextcloud. NC stopped working for me a few times, syncthing has been solid

You could set up specifically clementines and tell me how you got it working 😅😅

I recently started using https://silverbullet.md (note taking with PWA offline support). And nforwardauth (authentication). I like both so far.

I see you are also missing paperless-ngx, syncthing and gitea

Actually I left 🫣🫣 After using it for a few years. I couldn't get a hang of it on Android, and I ended up switching to caldav for tasks and markdown for notes.

Currently testing out https://silverbullet.md

I did enjoy orgmode for a long time, but I got too old for init.el ..

I ended up with installing a dovecot IMAP server that i can connect to from any email client. but no smtp to send emails

Then you connect to the imap server from the email client and search that way

Miniflux has grown on me https://miniflux.app/

I run it in docker and access from browser. It says it can automatically download the whole article. For me I have to hit download button each time, maybe I missed some configuration.

If you self-host services, I recommend it

Tsacdrop hasn't been updated since 2021, it was very buggy for me

AntennaPod UX felt a bit off for me when I first started using it, but it grew on me. And they recently did an UI/UX update to the front page I like. It might be a good time to give it a second look
