Opencloud instead of nextcloud
Or, just radicale and syncthing (if you don’t need a webUI)
Syncthing isn’t quite the same
I’d be more likely to use a SMB share
True… could be both… or perhaps copyparty.
I was thinking more along the colab side, where syncthing is working on your laptop and mine to sync our files, rather than central storage, but fair point.
I use owncloud
For the lazy:
- Nextcloud
- Jellyfin
- Immich
- Vaultwarden / Bitwarden
- Uptime Kuma
- AdGuard Home
- Homepage
- Monica
- changedetection.io
Seems a decent selection.
Recently discovered changedetection.io. It nicely filled the need I had. I have it watching a few static forum posts for updates that are communicated that way.
Oh wow… My 10 year old python script may be replaced now.
Edit: And I already had it starred, because it works just like my 10 year old python script.
You can go semi-advanced mode by using regex to ignore certain line changes. Some sites require you to go super-advanced mode by using playwright running in a headless-v2 container rather than just plain text mode.
It’s nice being able to see the history of changes. Especially when there’s multiple rapidfire changes.
Oh yea, I’m still going to try it out the next time I need to page watch.
I could never get it working right due to captchas on sites, its a beat idea though
I’m a little confused. It’s this a self hosted program? Following the link I see a monthly subscription cost.
If you don’t want to self host, they offer hosting.
Got it.
That seems pretty cool.
does this count as a spoiler?
AI generation aside, not a bad list. I’d add searxng, and, opnsense/pfsense is really awesome to have with pfblocker, and then wireguard so you get all the benefits on the go.
Sadly SearXNG is plagued by captcha limit. Nothing I tried reliable works.
Not even running your own? Once you get past the Docker config you can have your own endpoint. Mine has never had any issues. As far as I understand it looks just like you yourself using the various sourced services, which it is.
I would add searxng - a bit finnicky to set up but very powerful and customizeable.
I like the idea of SearXNG, but I don’t see why so many people like it for self hosting. You’re still querying search engines with your IP which in many self hosted cases is the same IP as the one you browse the internet with. I think SearXNG is really good if you setup a service on a server IP (like a VPS) and it gets used by multiple people, or if you tunnel it trough a VPN, but then again you could also just VPN your search engine searches.
So why do you like it? Is it for the aggregation of multiple engines? Or maybe the fact that it doesn’t link your specific browser to a search? I really wonder and am not hating.
You’re still querying search engines with your IP
IP in itself might not be as much of a problem, unless you have a static IP, which most consumers don’t. And even if you do, you are also hiding a lot of baggage relating to user agents or other fingerprintable settings. IP alone is rarely used as a sole point to link your traffic to other datapoints. On top of that, you can still just decide to exclude google, bing etc from your search results and rely more “open” ones like DDG or ecosia.
Another huge upside of searxng is the aggregation of results. The search results of google are all up to, well, google. Same with bing, which is controlled by microsoft. If these companies now decide to “surpress” certain information, people using only those engines directly would no longer see those news. However, if you get your results from multiple search engines, you are not - or lets say less - affected by that kind of nonsense.
As always with news and information, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. And that’s where searxng helps out tremendously.
Searxng is my most used self hosted service. It’s amazing
same, i pipe it through gluetun with my Linux isos. works great. maybe second only to jellyfin in most used
Can confirm, solid list for everyone. Only uptime kuma was replaced by beszel in my setup.
Why?
I’m going against the new-age tech grain with this, but… I fucking despise docker anything. I can follow directions fine, it’s the troubleshooting that takes too much time. Sure, I’ll learn it eventually, but I do IT for a living I’m not coming home to waste my nights also doing this.
I’ve setup ZimaOS as a massive NAS with Yunohost on anything web-hosted/accessible. A. It’s easier with a graphical UI on stuff that’s packaged. B. Installing, updating, and most other services are pretty well automated/packaged to work really well. C. When i have the conversations with friends who aren’t tech savvy and are overwhelmed, I want to have firsthand knowledge of easy systems that’re basic, but powerful, and will help them dip their toes in freedom.
No Proxmox, unraid, no docker stuff, no nested VMs, no more complex setups. While I can learn to troubleshoot and memorize CLI, I’m too old and busy with family and work/commute to deal with problems at home lol. Too much tinkering has poised my wife off to the point she thinks all the self hosted stuff is unreliable. So, I deploy, test, vet basic issues, and if it’s too much time or setup involved, or dependencies on other apps, I’m out!!
Too many containers, too many fragile, partial service apps that just feel incomplete. Yuno and Zima (formerly casa) are great!! Others being tested too for fun but at snails pace lol.
I still don’t truly know how to use docker, as I use dockSTARTer on my Debian VM on Proxmox, but it runns all my services now. I tried to resist and have multiple LXCs run everything, but as my homelab grew more complex (SMB & NFS, VPN tunnels, filesharing/hardlinks, etc.) I’ve just given up and have most things running on the docker. With dockstarter it’s enter “yes” to some terminal qs, copypaste templates into your overrides folder, and then use ds -u for update and ds -c to run everything.
I tried to use podman at first because people said it was safer and faster but… I literally couldn’t figure out how to turn a pod into a service so it will autostart on system launch 😅
I had that same feeling until I actually learned it.
There’s close to no performance loss, it’s better for security, it makes it extremely easy for developers to ship something that just works, it allows easy updating, and much more.
I prefer docker over almost anything now, and it has made my life much easier.
my SD card in my ras pi got corrupted recently. Thankfully I had my docker directory backed up. I pulled the docker directory,
docker compose up -dand within about 20 minutes (not including downloading time) I was back up and running. Docker is a godsend. all my apps were exactly as they were before the corruption.Not sure how your docker directory and services look like but the important thing is that you use remote volumes (or backed up ones) and that you backup your compose file and mounted config files of course. But besides that it’s indeed that easy.
