I used to manually set it up in freebsd jails. Then I moved to docker. Always seems to be a disconnect between PHP and apache configs with next cloud. Every time I update it, it reaches PHP timeouts and I need to do it from cli. Every time I update it the admin dashboard bitches about insecure configs which I then correct and then it happens again the next update.

And it will glitch and break on updates etc. Next cloud requires a lot of maintenance, at least not always has for me.

I think this is the one I use, reactle - a clone of the OG wordle before nyt bought them:

I have it as a docker on TrueNAS.

Now this is a good idea.

Reverse DNS? Or vuln scans just hitting IPs. Don’t need DNS for that.

I sync to TrueNAS scale with photosync and then I sync scale with back blaze b2

Sun thing for me was absolutely terrible. If I recall correctly, huge pain in the ass because I vlan off my wifi and had to mess with policies for discovery. I found the app would often freeze and lock up, glitch, etc. And this was on two different phones.

I thought with this for years. It’s unreliable and buggy on Android and iPhone. I caved and paid for some photo sync app and it’s been super stable.

That or folder sync on Android. Then feed into immich or photosphere.

I spent many nights running diff and comparing sources and destinations and md5sums and so on

Definitely. I use home assistant but I found a lot of things require enabling integrations with other platforms. They’re bricks if that platform decides they are.

This is why IoT isn’t sustainable. If you don’t have total control you’re fucked.

Ah, I missed that part

Stop using google. Don’t you know their motto? “Be evil”

You could just host it inside your network and do an always on VPN. That’s what I do.

Like ham radio ppl

I didn’t either, but I started using floccus and syncing my bookmarks across my 2 computers and phone. In a pinch it works great for those obscure websites I don’t frequently visit.

True, the answer to that is more hardware unfortunately. I guess there are Linux options, I forget what they are though.

Any old hardware and run opnsense or pfsense (the former preferred)

Libgen. Not torrents but books are all over.

Also audiobooksbay, you don’t actually need an account for these torrents if you take the hash from the site

Sounds like the easiest method lol. At least that way I could add in something to delete photos after copying them if they’re X days old.

I saw the compose earlier, doesn’t it call for an external db, among other things?

If it’s just that compose I’ll probably implement this tomorrow.
