My son has a bag which he takes with him to Kindergarten every day. I'd like to throw in something like an Apple AirTag to be able to see where the bag is, but I have a couple of requirements:

  • No subscription
  • Should work in South Korea (AirTag does not work here)
  • Sometimes it's me who brings hem to Kindergarten and I have a Android phone, sometimes it's his mom with a iPhone
  • It should be somehow connectable to HomeAssistant as a device tracker to see where the bag is (or at least if it's at home or not)

Any ideas what would work?

Hi there!

Since the last time the LemmyWebhook package gained quite a few new capabilities so I've decided it's time for another post.


Quick intro to the package: It adds support for webhooks to Lemmy, meaning you can get notified of events to automatically react to, instead of having to poll for everything, often using multiple http requests. Everything is done in a quite efficient way which avoids hitting your database as much as possible and if it does, it only uses queries on primary key. You can also (optionally) make it available to other users who can then run their bots on your instance only on the permissions you allow them, meaning if you only grant them access to post events, they don't also get access to new user events.


So, what's new?

  • When you listen for an update event, you get the previous version of data in addition to the current one, meaning you can directly compare what has changed
  • New function for getting parent comment id have been added, with this you can for example detect if someone is replying to your bot
  • You can now listen for community subscribe/unsubscribe event

As usual, let me know what you think, feel free to offer suggestions or ask questions.

I bought a Silicondust HD Homerun back before they put their website on Cloudflare. I love the design of having a tuner with a cat5 port, so the tuner can work with laptops and is not dependent on being installed into a PC.

But now that Silicondust is part of Cloudflare, I will no longer buy their products. I do not patronize Cloudflare patrons.

I would love to have a satellite tuner in a separate external box that:

  • tunes into free-to-air content
  • has a cat5 connection
  • is MythTV compatible

Any hardware suggestions other than #Silicondust?

I've got docker installed and I've got a single container running (vaultwarden) via the docker pull/docker run commands provided on its Github page. I'm not sure how to learn more about that container or how to build (compose?) others myself.

I'd like to learn how to transition nginx and pihole to containers and network them together. I'd also like to add paperless-ngx to my setup.

(note: I'm very new to Linux in general, mostly rpis, poking around with debian now)

I don't need anything else but the shared expense tracking, with multiple people having access to the same expense group.

Edit: I need it to support both Android and iOS. PWA is fine as well.

TL;DR: I installed Proxigram with docker compose up -d and I want to update it to the last commit.

Hi, I'm new to self-hosting and this is the first time I want to update something deployed into a docker. Proxigram seems a very easy one to start with because (AFAIK) there is no data stored. So I think I can just kill the containers, pull the latest version from git and redeploy again with docker compose up -d, right?

I wanted to ask just in case there are better ways I can learn.
Thanks.

An argument I hear against self hosting is that archiving data is best left to large companies who are going to be around for a while.

I don't seem to be able to run the linuxserver Plex docker container correctly. The docker compose file is simple and copied below. The user PUID and group PGID are obtained from /etc/passwd entries or "id -u". The user with PUID and PGID has full permission to /myconfig and /mymovies in the host. I tried various different users, some with admin privileges.

The container runs, but in the PLEX account I don't see any option to find local media. There is a bunch of annoying TV and movie and streaming advertisements/promotions.

What am I doing wrong?


version: "2.1"
services:
  plex:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
    container_name: plex
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=  1026
      - PGID= 100 
      - VERSION=docker
     volumes:
      - /myconfig:/config
      - /mymovies:/movies
    restart: unless-stopped

I was thinking about migrating my services to self management k8s cluster, mostly for education purposes. I have some low traffic services running on one dedicated server on Scaleway now - there's some nextcloud, portainer, hastebin (sort of pastebin) mysql database, personal wiki, couple of half-dead blogs, stuff like that. Nothing resources heavy, nothing that needs tight SLA. I plan to add a little of my own software anytime soon, but I don't expect it to be very needy as well.

I'm planning on going with 3 nodes with min. 2 cores and 4 GB of RAM, and an additional service for storage. Does anyone here had experience with self hostes kubernetes? Do you have any advices? Do you think nodes like these are enough or I should upgrade (or downgrade)? Can you reccomend some providers that could offer this setup at low cost?

Hey all,

I'm looking for a personal photo blog app, that I can self-host on my Synology.

It needs to be simple, allow me to manage content, and add simple text descriptions/comments.

Something in a style of https://len.to/ but with a CMS and login page.

Cheers!

currently i have few websites running on a single apache instance. everything works with the typical port forward setup. let say theres 5 websites with different domain names (some of it are sub-domain)

however, due to some special circumstances, some websites need to move to other server, different location, behind cgnat. i already set the tunnel up, however for whatever reason, it doesnt seems to work/point to the wrong websites/application, the default apache page to exact.

the domain/subdomain is not directly managed by me. but it is already pointed to my server through cname records. i do have other domain (unlrelated to the website) managed with cloudflare, thats what it tried to use with for the tunnel.

before:
website1.com -> (cname) s1.server.net
website2.com -> (cname) s1.server.net

after:
website1.com -> (tunnel address) tunnel1.server.net
website2.com -> (tunnel address) tunnel2.server.net

is there any proper/correct way to do this?

Hi there,
I'm looking for a Windows VPS hosting, that has a 16 core cpu and around 64 gb of ram.
Anyone got a provider? Or are there some small providers in here that can help me out?
