I have been using Zettel notes android app and syncing the md notes on syncthing. I enjoy the experience

But I recently discovered silverbullet https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet and I think I will give it a try when I get back from holiday. I think it can be combined with syncthing too

That's me! I got dovecot in docker working for email archive, and moved all my old emails there. I access them through thunderbird on pc and k-9 mail on phone. Works great!

It took a bit of time to set up the passwords, and understanding the configuration. I used the lets encrypt certs from caddy.

I had to look at some different examples of the dovecot config file to get it right

I occasionally use Brave when I need to cast something to my shield. Is this possible with firefox?

Most of the time I use Firefox

I get a lot of stuff.. The first time i tried to make a docker-compose myself based on docs, and it made the groceries db. But I found out you need a lot of settings for couchdb, so I tried to run the default files, and I got an error on docker-compose.yml file. It wouldn't run due to "restart: always" in the healthcheck of couchdb.

Now it seems it is complaining about JWT settings, even though I have base64-code in jwt.ini corresponding to the phrase in docker-compose. groceries-server_1 | [07:30:22] ERROR: Cannot access database with encoded JWT key. Please check HMAC entry in jwt.ini. The hmac:_default value should be: c3F1ZWVnZWUtZmxhdG5lc3Mtb2NjdWx0aXN0LWNvbmZ1c2luZw==

Which corresponds to the jwt.ini [jwt_keys]

hmac:_default = c3F1ZWVnZWUtZmxhdG5lc3Mtb2NjdWx0aXN0LWNvbmZ1c2luZw==

I got a bad feeling about the whole thing.. I think I will stick to caldav + tasks.org for my shopping list, it has a much simpler setup..

I do the same. I use caddy reverse proxy, and find it useful to use the container name for url, and no ports exposed

What is the benefit for making changes with separate files?

[–] conrad82 3 points 2 years ago

Aha! Thank you! I tried searching for the whole thing and got nothing. Yes I have it installed

groceries got me interested, but I'm not able to get it working in docker. I am trying to run it behind caddy reverse proxy. All the containers are running, and it seems the couchdb database has been created but I get nothing when going to the url of the server and client. Just blank page.

I use proxmox server and proxmox backup server (in a VM 🫣) to do encrypted backups.

A raspberry pi has ssh access to PBS and it rsync all the files, and then uploads them to backblaze using rclone.

https://2.5admins.com/ recommended "pull" backups, so if someone hacks your server they don't have access to your backups. If the pi is hacked it can mess with everything, but the idea is that is has a smaller attack surface (just ssh).

PS. If you rclone a lot of files to backblaze use https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list , or else it will get expensive

Don't know why you got downvoted. Chatgpt has helped me too wrap my head around programming/scripting - in my case jinja2 in home assistant.

It might not always be correct, but it helped me getting started!

[–] conrad82 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I thought about it, but I couldn't quite understand where the files went and how to restore on a new machine..

I like having everything on server. it takes care of backups, and the laptop/client can be reinstalled without fear

That sounds like what I want! Thanks! 🙏

I was thinking of using it for local email from other self-hosted services, but I am getting too old to set it up

[–] conrad82 20 points 2 years ago (9 children)

Email. I want a local email server where I can move old emails off the internet for archiving.

But the number of components going into email servers made me stop.. I already have caddy reverse proxy, but finding out how to use it for a email server.. I didn't even get properly started
