There a million ways, and you will probably find tons of tutorials each different - Docker, Docker Compose, native install, VMWare, Kubernetes, Portainer, etc. I recommend starting with a clean machine - preferably with an attached monitor - and installing your favorite Linux distro (Ubuntu is among the easiest), getting Docker and Docker Compose running, and familiarizing yourself with these technologies.

Then you can start with a simple app like Paperless (document digitization), Vikunja (TODOs), BookStack (wiki), or PrivateBin (pastebin), getting it running and persist state over a period of time, then setting up a reverse proxy so you don’t have to use IPs all the time (with just editing your hosts file to point a URL to IP of your machine), and then it is a free world.

Of course, having the whole setup secure, independent, and easily manageable is partially eyperience and partially understanding your needs.

You will probably even find whole ready-to-deploy git repositories that are easily configurable, so you can go with that too.

Usually just needs to be set up once. A small price to pay for security.

Easiest method is Docker, but it heavily depends on your network and tech stacks.

Even more secure is having a VPS and self hosting Heascale, even better is Wireguard

Well, it is used mainly to share videos so we don’t have to send them or save them directly to file server. I’d say it has many of the features YT has, so I would say it is possible to replace YT with it, but the problem with videos - as opposed to images or text - is that they take fuckton of space.

We use it in our company because we don’t want to upload videos only we use to Google.

So, getting two people in trouble instead of one?

That’s what aliases / functions in .bashrc (or whatever shell you use) are for. You don’t need to always write the full code.

EDIT: Looks like .bashrc hurt you guys.

This website is deprecated.

It’s kept around mainly for historical reasons.

I’ve tried Docker Swarm because Kubernetes seemed like an overkill for a cluster of 4 small-ish servers. There have been several issues (networking for example) that took me two days to solve - by reinstalling the machine completely.

There are some hoops and hurdles along the way, some command will just literally brick your cluster without any notice whatsoever (like removing the second manager, leaving only one and cluster stops responding, but you get no warning that’s gonna happen).

Also secrets, where there is no simple way to manage them, or replace them. You can’t just replace a secret, you have to remove and recreate it. Which means turning off the service or creating a new secret with a different name and do a rolling update, which is just annoying to do every time unless you can afford a robust CI CD pipeline code that does it automatically.

Ooooh, I just checked and I am indeed not running the AIO. Must be a new thing, and I though I had it because I didn’t set up much, but I really just used a premare docker-compose.yml, which is why I didn’t remember any advanced setup. It still uses multiple containers.

I stand corrected.

What do you mean no internal IP? I can access the instance on my local network via RPI address no problem.

EDIT: Realized I didn’t use AIO. Sorry.

Probably because it’s easier to fuck up. With piping to xargs, you are forced to put the delete command last.

First of all, I said “compatible”, not “exclusive”. Second of all, why would it fail? Even if there was no tutorial how to run it directly on a system, a docker image carries all the information you need to run it on a given system. That’s why we have Dockerfiles.

New apps should be Docker compatible out of the box, change my mind.

Yep, you can host it all yourself. Both UI and the server. Not sure how backwards compatible the “public” client is - I remember Rocket.chat Android client breaking by not updating the server on at least 2 occasions over the past 2 years.

At least you have control over your data and you and your friends can blame you for server crashes lol.

No voice chat, mainly. I don’t want to play League and chat on IRC lol.

Theoretically, any registrar can hijack your domain.

They are not federating with anyone as far as I heard, so why federated with them.
