My VPS has S3 bucket compatibility (Not an Amazon VPS btw)

I'm looking to store files, mostly videos, photos, and document files. Are there any good apps for connecting and using S3 buckets for this?

The reason I want to use buckets its because they're cheaper than me paying for a full VPS, and less time and for me managing cloud storage software such as Nextcloud.

I found Owlfiles for Android to look awesome but is not FOSS.

Cyberduck FOSS and for computers (I'm using Linux), but doesn't give media previews like Owlfiles.

I'm looking replacement for both of these would be appreciated.

Recently, I was chatting with a friend, and we were talking about ‘de-Googling’, federated networks and self-hosted services. As I was listing the benefits and my largely positive experience with them (the Fediverse for the most part), my friend pointed out that it isn’t an environmentally friendly solution, nor is it optimised for the long term. He told me that it requires more machines that consume more energy than a single large one, as these machines aren’t specialised for hosting services. What’s your view on the argument that ‘several small machines that consume more energy are less optimised and eco-friendly than a single large one built and designed for that purpose’? I realise that the large machine goes hand in hand with techno-fascists and that they are the real problem, but what if we were to look at this from a purely technical, forward-looking perspective on a clean future? How would you respond to this ?

My main NAS box was running OpenMediaVault until a failed upgrade left the OS totally borked. Now I'm back up and running on a fresh Debian install, and I've documented everything that I'm running currently to keep it all straight.

I've been using a two-bay Synology nas for the last couple of years with 2x 8TB drives and a stupidly large media collection. I recently acquired a four-bay ugreen nas but don't have any drives for it yet because fuck you AI.

Since I need to have all the same drive size for raid, I was thinking of getting larger disks and taking out a second mortgage. Like start with 2x 12TB and some day add two more. If I do that, I'll have 2x 8TB that wouldn't be useful without keeping the Synology running, and I don't really need both.

The other idea was buying two more 8TB for the new nas, copying the media over, and then moving the two over to make four and decommission the Synology.

I am not well versed in raid, so there easily could be something I'm not considering or a way I should do this to make my life easier.

Also, any advice on how one normally keeps backups with such a large amount of data. I know raid ≠ backup, but right now I'm just praying to the tech gods that the disks keep spinning. I know others out there have large media collections… what do you do?

We install Debian, Docker, Immich, and even Nextcloud and run a tiny self-hosted virtual Homelab.

For a hobby of mine, there's an outdated lore wiki on Fandom. I dislike Fandom and would like to host an alternative. It's supposed to be accessible to all kinds of people.

I started with mediawiki as that's what Fandom and Wikipedia are using, so people would be familiar with page structures at least and maybe the editor.

It turned out to be a bit of a pain though. It only has unofficial container images, the documentation is outdated and (what I consider as) core functionality like WYSIWYG editor or simple infoboxes has to be added by extensions or templates. I'm in the process of setting it all up and wondering if it's worth it (and if I want to maintain it). There's so many wiki projects it's hard to keep track, what are y'all using for stuff that's used by larger communities and simple to use with close-to-default settings?

Boosts can now optionally be shown in the profile on the webview, and lots of other smaller improvements.

Hey y'all, REAL basic question here. Like many, friends and I have started using Matrix (working on setting up my own server) and settled on Commet for a client, mainly because of its simplicity and gif keyboard (friends demand it)

Now I see in the Element client, during a call you can mute others. Commet does not have this feature anywhere that I can see, or I am missing something! This seems like such a basic feature I can't believe they wouldn't have it. Its a feature we desperately need to be able to mute others with echo/noise or if you have 2 gamers in the same room with 1 mic it picks up everyone so you want to be able to mute that person so you don't hear yourself echo back). Honestly element has much better audio settings but is just missing integrated gifs or I would use it.

I understand devs are doing this for free and owe us nothing. But this setting should really be in there. Teamspeak had it 15 years ago..

I did search everywhere I could on the internet and found no answer to this.

Anyway, thanks for the noob help!

I am getting started with self hosting and one of the things I would love to host is a Signal TLS proxy using Docker.

Problem is that I have ports 80 and 443 taken by Nginx Proxy Manager (also in a Docker container), through which I forward to different services depending on the subdomain.

I tried modifying the docker-compose.yml file to use ports 9443 and 980 and have it working using a certificate created on NPM, but to no avail.

Being a beginner, it can well be that I don't understand reverse proxies well enough, but that's why, with your help I would love to take this opportunity to learn more.

Thanks in advance.

Charmarr aims to make self-hosting a media stack in Kubernetes easy. It provides charmed versions of *arr applications (radarr, sonarr, etc) and some friends. Charms are operational wrappers, that is they configure the underlying applications themselves. So deploying Radarr, Prowlarr, SABnzbd, Gluetun. Setting a required TRaSH profile Radarr and routing the traffic of SABnzbd and Prowlarr via Gluetun VPN tunnel can be done with a few intuitive commands. An example command snippet would be sth like

# deploy the apps into my cluster
juju deploy radarr-k8s
juju deploy prowlarr-k8s
juju deploy sabnzbd-k8s
juju deploy gluetun-k8s

# tune 4k TRaSH guide profiles in my Radarr
juju config radarr-k8s variant=4k

# Route Prowlarr and SABnzbd via Gluetun
juju integrate sabnzbd-k8s gluetun-k8s
juju integrate prowlarr-k8s gluetun-k8s

This can be extended to any cross-communicating tools like Overseerr (already part of charmarr), Plex (already part of charmarr), Huntarr (planned) etc.

This also enables the using OpenTofu to deploy the entire stack using a single command:

tofu init && tofu apply

okay, 2 cmds. This way your entire media stack can have a declarative deployment using a single 20-30 line .tf file instead of multiple manifests. This sets up all applications, handles storage, handles VPN routing (you just provide your VPN credentials and media paths), connects everything together, and it's ready in about 10 minutes. You just need to log into Plex, connect Overseerr, and add your indexers.

"But K8s is overkill for a homelab and no one needs it"

Totally agree. This is intended to make managing the media stack in a Kubernetes substrate easier for the veterans and loosening up the entry point into Kubernetes for a self-hosted media server for this who are interested in K8s. That said, it will still have some learning curve if you're completely new to K8s.

All the tools that are part of charmarr including charmarr itself (except for Plex, which I plan to switch with or add on top of Jellyfin eventually) are open source and free to use.

Is it stable?

It's been running in my lab for more than a month without any issues. But, I wouldn't call it stable yet especially if you enable all the fancy bells and whistles, but I've been running nightly tests deploying the stack using tofu and tearing it down and it's been consistently successful. If you're interested in experimenting or using it, its enough that you have a Ubuntu system (I also have an oneliner to setup the required infra to deploy charmarr).

Developer @4di@lemmy.ml

Ive gotten hold of an intel nuc from around 2014, is it possible to use it for self hosting cloud services (audio streaming, ip security cam fotage reciving and storage, photo storage) or is it more suitable as an emulation box?

A tutorial I found helpful in setting up Fail2ban for Forgejo.

Posting this since I am a bookwyrm fanboy but also also liked the thoughts on dev pace, "corp spirit", stale bots and the SPA thing.

I was thinking about how to improve my email situation, because at the moment I am using an address of a commercial mail provider, which obviously brings some concerns of lock-in.

While fully self-hosting the email is an option, I am a bit wary of this, because having a working email is very critical and I do trust the commercial providers to give better uptime and reliability than my old server in the closet. Does anyone have experience hosting an email service and what is it like/could you recommend it?

The other option that I am more inclined to is having the email hosted by some cloud provider, but using an address under my personal domain name. The point would be of course that I could change the email provider while keeping the address. Which providers supporting this could you recommend? What is the process like linking a domain to an email host?

A family member is interested in self-hosting their photos! They asked me if there is a NAS I would recommend.

They're not very technical. They can manage their own Macbook, but not much else.

I can't recommend them my setup because I built my own computer and just run Debian and Docker.

They would definitely need a ton of hand holding. I think they can manage clicking a web UI though. Any terminal stuff will probably scare them away.

Anyone have any recommendations? Something from QNAP, Ugreen, Zima, or something else?

They're mainly interested in self-hosting photos. I was hoping to get them on Immich. I could see them doing some file hosting too. So maaaybe running Seafile would be nice. Or maybe just NFS.
