Fedi doesn’t support secure communication, that’s why (the last time I dove into the subject) lemmy has a profile field for yer Matrix account. Encrypted communication. Mails are usually hosted on “reputable” services and has some sort of privacy agreement, something I’ve yet to see on a fedi site.

And if you think of lemmy or mastodon as a communication service rather than a publishing platform, you’re probably being spied on more than you expect.

Fedi logins would require an account backend, which is quite a way aways from the fediverse as far as I know. Not to mention it would require a stable, permanent fedi provider with absolute trust.

For a simple e-mail server you could use a server management suite like YunoHost, comes with a working mail server right out of the box. For only recieving registration mails and notification you wouldn’t even have to mess with online spam filters due to not being GAFAM.

Someone mentioned UnifiedPUSH, which is nice but has very limited platform support at the moment as it has to be added to every single site and app. As far as I know it also sends notifications only using transport encryption so the server admin would have access to your notifications. Better to self-host, best to self-host at home on your own hardware.

Wallabag has the same RSS features and can export to several formats, epub included, but the annotation system is only supported in the web interface. Even the official android app doesn’t support it. No Wallabag client on any platform supports self signed certs so forget about anything but web UI if you run it on a closed LAN.

Because according to the devs it’s more secure to run a public facing server with a CA backed cert that on a closed LAN which I VPN into with a self-signed cert. Even a toggle to allow it is too dangerous.

3000 is the OpenWebUI port, never got it to work by using either 127.0.0.1 or localhost, only 0.0.0.0. Ollama’s port 11434 on 127.x worked fine though.

you don’t want to be punching a tunnel from whatever can talk to your portable device to the LLM machine.

Fair point.

Just do like me - Install Ollama and OpenWebUI, install Termux on Android, connect through Termux with port forwarding.

ssh -L 0.0.0.0:3000:ServerIP_OnLAN:3000

And access OpenWebUI at http://127.0.0.1:3000/ on your phone browser. Or SSH forward the Ollama port to use the Ollama Android app. This requires you to be on the same LAN as the server. If you port forward SSH through your router, you can access it remotely through your public IP (If so, I’d recommend only allowing login through certs or have a rate limiter for SSH login attempts.

The shell command will then be ssh -L 0.0.0.0:3000:YourPublicIP:3000

But what are the chances that you run the LLM on a Linux machine and use an android to connect, like me, and not a windows machine and use an iPhone? You tell me. No specs posted…

YunoHost is also a good management system, though more focused on web services compared to DietPi which seems more… Everything.

Syncthing is great for syncing files and that’s about it. No groupware, sharing, off-site storage and so on. I ran Syncthing+DecSync for years for great groupware sync but it’s completely deprecated. I’m back on Nextcloud, though still use ST for syncing program files.

Have you considered NextcloudPi? Installs a full, SSL-ready (self-generated or LetsEncrypt) Nextcloud instance with a single copy-paste command in terminal/via SSH.

There are so many things I would like them to fix before they add more half-baked stuff.

NC have modules for both gPodder sync and RSS. The RSS reader has been refactoring for ages so I just run FreshRSS instead but the NC module should work just fine.

What sort of performance are you looking for? I run NC’s from Raspberry Pi’s, no problem.

Syncthing is like a base layer for a personal P2P system, beyond the basic file sync I use Syncthing to sync Joplin Notes, Money Manager Ex, KeePass, RetroShare and what ever else I can.

yeah

Depends mainly how many videos you plan on hosting, storage space is the biggest issue.

I’ve self-hosted a 5€ Peertube instance before, no problems. Expanding the storage would be rather cheap but I never hit the 500GB VPS limit before I got bored of the whole thing and shut it down.

Do you have any experience with the dedicated Audiobookshelf app?

Cool, I didn’t know. Going to try it out.

Are you sure you’re posting in the right community?

Last time I checked, Nextcloud Talk android app simply refuse to implement any sort of pull system. If one’s using a google-less phone one needs to set up a push system on top (I’ve never managed to get the NC push system to work properly). There’s even a separate “Nextcloud Notification checker” app on F-Droid to remedy the problem. It’s all a bit silly.

Same, it’s pretty nice.

to be sure that I (the server admin) cannot see the content of the files

temporarily upload files to my server and then serve them to users after

Heh.

I recently checked up on the status of the built in E2EE in NC when deciding what sort of encryption I wanted for data at rest on a self-hosted system. People are still complaining about data loss and horrible bugs. I’ve been burned before and stay well away from that half-baked implementation. I just use Cryptomator instead.

On the other hand NC supports AI implementation, there’s machine learning that sets EVERY SINGLE MAIL to important in the mail app and the ActivitiyPub based Nextcloud Social have almost worked for many years so that’s nice.
