I'm not affiliated with DBZer0 beyond being an active member, but today I decided it was time to do my part and donate. We all benefit from this place. We all have a haven to share our knowledge and shitposts. If you're reading this, I'm talking to you. Socialism begins at home.

We are seeing IP hawks do more and more to shut down our piracy sites, streaming sites, and even the places we come to just talk about these things. Our safe spaces are made possible by a handful of generous people who spend their money, time, and brainpower to create places where we can come together. They don't have to stand alone. We can have their backs.

You can donate to DBZer0 at the following link, or by clicking the pirate themed coffee mug in the sidebar: https://ko-fi.com/db0

My donation has given me a sense of pride and community. I'll be doing this every month until the wheels fall off. I know some of you will see this and hear the call--now's the time. We owe it to each other.

I’m using tessypowder/backblaze-personal-wine, and I need to reinstall it due to some drive changes. I have tried docker rm [container ID], but when I add the container again, it seems to be stuck with the old wine settings. I have also tried adding it with a new name so it would theoretically be a totally new container, but that also seemed to inherit the broken wine settings.

I noticed that when I first install a container, there is a long ID string that seems to represent the container along with all the dependencies, but when I use docker ps, it only shows me a shorter string that seems to represent Backblaze alone. Should I be using rm with the longer string to remove wine too? If so, how can I get the terminal to display the full ID again so I can accomplish a full removal?

tl;dr How can I do a full removal of a docker container an all sub-programs (such as wine) that were installed along with it?

I have a home server with tech illiterate users (Tailscale/VPN won’t be a solution for them), and I’ve been setting up a little blog to keep them updated about content and status. I had an idea of setting up a server status page that displayed the running state of various docker containers so they could easily see if services are running or not.

The dashboards I’ve seen have been geared towards administrators, but I’m looking for something simple, with no control buttons, that is just for display. I was thinking that there might be a dashboard out there with the ability to export the displays as a webpage widget or something along those lines.

I have a VPS I can use just for the online display, so I’m not worried about the networking per se. Needs to run on Debian.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I’ve been trying out Kavita as an ebook software, and I really like it so far, with one exception. Accounts are all local to the app, and there is no ability handle user accounts through their site, similar to how Plex does it. This means that every time I screw up and have to set up again over the years, my users will have to get new invites and make new accounts. When I mess up Plex and have to reinstall, I can just add new permissions for the users already linked to my account, which makes it easy to transition everyone to a new server with minimal impact to my viewers.

Before I fully commit to Kavita, is there any program out there for ebooks that has accounts managed through a central server rather than my local one?

My self-hosting experience is primarily with Plex and qBittorrent, but I'm trying to get a digital library set up that will be available remotely. I've been reading about some options, but I'm not sure about what is best to use or how to deploy it.

What is the best way to make Kavita available to remote users safely from a home server?
