Selfhosted

I’m trying to figure out a basic CRM for my local sports club. I use docker to self host a voting platform called RALLLY that we use a lot and enjoy. If people can recommend a CRM I’d give it a go today. I tried a platform called twenty yesterday but couldn’t get it off the ground

Docker compose. I had a plan to ease into docker, I slipped and fell in the fucking pool. So far I have AdGuard Home and Heimdall working. Some WireGuard variant is next, followed by moving grafana and Prometheus over.

So far so good…..internet blogs, videos, etc have been not great, seems things have changed since dropping the version in your yaml file. All in all, I think the direction I’m heading in is good. Time will tell.

I've been fending off AI bots the last week or so; wrote about it here:

i run coolify and I have to make my own solutions so I'm learning a lot about docker.

Shoutout to @Estebiu@lemmy.dbzer0.com for helping me appreciate the joy of docker compose. I got to set up Navidrome and it's been great!

With that said, I have a security-related question: at what point in self-hosting am I exposed to the outside internet that warrants things like reverse proxies and other security measures? I'm currently typing router IPs (e.g. 192.168.x.x) to access the services, so is my machine exposed if the only people intending to connect are local on our wireless network?

I've just set up Wireguard, so I can access my home network from everywhere, but the old laptop that I wanted to use as a server has just quit. So now I have to find a different machine

Finally starting my self hosted journey. I have everything I need I'm setting up a 6tb nas for linux iso's photos and files. And I recently got a "broken" laptop that works perfectly fine that I will use for running all my applications in proxmox such as immich, jellyfin and nextcloud. And probably many others in the near future.

Firing up my NAS and Arrs. My Aoostar WTR Pro and all the components arrived, it’s all setup, and I swapped out the fan for a larger one to get more airflow into the nvme drive area since I live in a hot climate.

Spending the day configuring a vpn, sab, and qbit. Already learning a lot!

Got my jetKVM in the mail yesterday. Really sleek build and software. Liking it a lot so far.

Migrated my network to a router running openwrt this past week as well. Having issues with avahi-daemon crash looping, so I haven't been able to get mdns working in between networks 🤷

I had to reboot my Proxmox server after applying powertop --auto-tune. All was fine with every advised tweak but touching the Lan interfaces was not a great idea

I really need to figure out how to get Jellyfin to use SSL certs and assigning a domain to the instance.

Finally got around to trying what @chaospatterns@lemmy.world recommended me to troubleshoot my scanner sending to FTP. And I got it working! Thanks chaospatterns!

I'm moving to Podman quadlets for self hosting infrastructure (Forgejo and Woodpecker CI) and Kubernetes for the actual services. I also still need to figure out were I'm going to do SSL terminations.

Nextcloud will be moved to Nextcloud AIO

Building a simple workflow with AI agent for our community watch group. Also building an open source automation platform, currently working through GUI templates for it.

My radarr instances won't download anything. It will search and find compatible torrents, but then it just spins and spins, nothing ever moves to the queue. If I refresh its like nothing happened at all. I confirmed that qbt is running properly and my Sonarr instances seem to be running ok.

I recently reorganized the root files to separate HD/UHD content so that I can run 2 instances for Overseerr requests, then this issue started. I had to reset the root folders and now there's also a root folder error about collections that I can't resolve either... got me thinking about doing a full reinstall.

I've setup Nextcloud on Hetzner, and have ordered a mini PC to run Immich and experiment with.

Still trying to decide on a good cheap email host that I can also move my family on to eventually.

I fixed DNS

(My DNS queries were blocked by my ISP's modem, I flashed OpenWRT on an old WiFi Repeater, and set up a DoH proxy)

Finally installed jellyfin when I realized I could use rclone to mount 10G of free disk space from box (with client side encryption using rclone) on my server.

Very easy to install on Debian, but the plugins are a security nightmare. Jellyfin devs are kinda dumb.

I'd appreciate some feedback on what I'm looking to do.
I'm wanting to follow the FUTO guide, but I don't want to build a router, to save on some money for now.
So I'm planning on buying a Mikrotik MT RB750Gr3 and putting OpenWrt on it, then using my current TP-Link Archer C6 as a wireless access point. (will buy a dedicated AP in the future).
One thing I wonder is, if there is a Mikrotik model that would be better?

As we received new network hardware from our ISP, and inevitably are getting a new IP address again with that, I'm looking into setting up a DDNS. I've wanted to check out DuckDNS.

They run their (free) service on AWS EC2 instances, though, and as I am currently also trying to end my reliance on Google and Amazon, I've got some more digging to do. If anyone has a good, European (or heck, federated?) solution, hmu!
