I pay ~8€ per month at DreamHost, for many, many domains and databases and mailboxes. I worry that having to maintain a VPS myself is tedious and risky, and there’s no automatic backups, and there’s no tech support, and it can’t possibly be as cheap. I’m fine hosting some stuff at home, but for some things (like mailboxes) I want a real independent service I can trust.
I’m still a huge DH fan. It’s just that the latency from Europe is noticeable, and also there’s an increased risk that some self-proclaimed dicktator might do something stupid so I lose access to my account and my mailboxes. We’ve all read the horror stories of people suddenly being permabanned by Google and losing access to all their precious data. I’m trying to cover some scenarios here.
Thank you. It makes sense that the demo shows ALL the features and I wouldn’t need to use all. It’s probably better for my OCD to skip this tool :)
Is it lovingly aimed at grease monkeys or also at normie vehicle owners?
I took a look at the demo site and felt a bit overwhelmed.
Wow, that does seem really useful! So clever to use Home Assistant, and nfc tags. Plus, it’s plain csv when you need the data.
Just to the left of Demimoore.
That sounds awfully complicated for home use.
Zero trust, but you have to use Amazon AWS, Cloudflare, and make your own Telegram bot? And have the domain itself managed by Cloudflare.
Sounds like a lot of trust right there… Would love to be proven wrong.
Mattermost runs as a Docker container and is excellent. You can create channels and groups which is incredibly useful.
And amazing is is. It has almost completely replaced my use of Google Photos 👍
Man, I feel you. I hate Mattermost for its utter inability to run on anything else than port 8065 specifically.
Yes, but given the fact that there can we weeks between incidents, that is going go be a long time to be without my services.
That’s a good idea, didn’t know Docker had such capability. I will read up on that - could you give me some keywords to start on?
You know you are right, and I’ve tried. I can manually monitor but it doesn’t happen just then. I don’t know yet what causes it, I can only assume it’s one of the Docker containers because the machine is doing nothing else.
I am doing this to find out how often it happens, how quickly it happens, and what’s at the top when it happens.
Thank you for these ideas, I will read up on systat+sar and give it a go.
Also smart to have the script always running, sleeping, rather than launching it at intervals.
I know all of this is a poor hack, and I must address the cause - but so far I have no clues what’s causing it. I’m running a bunch of Docker containers so it is very likely one of them painting itself into a corner, but after a reboot there’s nothing to see, so I am now starting with logging the top process. Your ideas might work better.
thank you! 🤩
Nope, haven’t. It says I have 2 GB of swap on a 16 GB RAM system, and that seems reasonable.
Why would you recommend turning swap off?
This issue doesn’t happen very often, maybe every few weeks. That’s why I think a nightly reboot is overkill, and weekly might be missing the mark? But you are right in any case: regardless of what the cron says, the machine might never get around to executing it.
This insane torture is why there are post-it notes under the keyboards.
Sharing your creations without a central hoster profiting from it, I guess.
