My advice would be, be pragmatical, an error on a backup script I did not notice wiped the time tracking data I had been collecting on my self hosted database for over a year. I got really anxious at first, because of my mistake and because of the data lost. But at the end of the day… Who cares, life goes on, this is only a hobby.
I use Metube
Well, if this app works Instead of Google maps for sending the location you can then disable location collection in Google
Ah I see! Thanks for the explanation, I have pomerium in front of everything using Google as IDP. Then if the app supports header authentication (like grafana) I get automatically logged in, and for those that don’t I have to log in again (a bit inconvenient) I event went as far as forking one and implementing header authentication myself.
What does Authentik do in combination with pomerium? I don’t have it
I use pomerium for that
Nice! But I’m currently using Obsidian for note taking
I’m using Mealie for this, and so far suits my needs
What does having OpenTelemetry improve? I have a setup similar to yours but data goes from Prometheus to Grafana and I never thought I would need anything else.
Prometheus, Loki and Grafana.
I’m still using the self hosted docker image, the all in one is too bloated for me and my computing resources are quite limited. Why would I like an antivirus? Or a backup solution different than the one I use to backup the rest of my containers?
Cool initiative anyway for other kind of users though.
Oh, this looks nice! I need to try this!
I only backup data I’ve generated myself, nothing that was autogenerated or downloaded from somewhere else.
This goes far beyond backing up since not a long ago I had to deal with emptying the house of a deceased person that had been locked for a while and got to the conclusion the only things worth keeping are original ones (photos, handwritten letters and so…). Anything that could have been bought somewhere else, no matter the antique it was resulted to be almost worthless, not just to me but also to pawn shops, as it seems to be easy to find the exact same thing somewhere else.
So I took that as a life learning and apply the same concept to my data :)
Nice! I’ll try it
I’ve been using miniflux for a while now ok Android, why should I prefer News app?
I started with an old computer, then I moved to Raspberry Pi’s and now in about to get rid of the last Pi since I’m replacing everting with small Lenovo or Intel PCs.
I’ve been told running an email server is the final boss of self-hosting
For me running my self-hosted server has been a pain. It took me a while to start getting content, adding relays and so, and still everything feels “dead”, with no replies or favorites anywhere.
On top of that it was constantly depleting my machine resources. Yes, it is a small machine but it is a one person server… Today the containers are stopped and the url returns a 503 error and still get dozens of request per second.
I was so sick of it that when joining Lemmy I just created an account in the biggest server I could find.
I’ve been self-hosting Pleroma (Mastodon) for a while as a technical challenge and because I thought it would help. But truth is finding content was a nightmare, and apart from that it was taking all the resources in my machine, and also was receiving network requests like crazy.
In comparison, for Lemmy I just joined a big instance and the experience has been much much better.
Top 1 for me would be a strong backup mechanism, and by that I mean something that is tested. Currently I have restic in place but I don’t even know if in case of a disaster the backups are ok.
And considering my lack of time, I would be happy with just that.
