- Gitea for my git repositories (moved from gitweb); - Syncthing + my own FileShelf[0] as a web interface, instead Dropbox; - Miniflux, a web RSS reader; - IPython notebooks; - Customized Jekyll for my blog + comments powered by self-hosted Isso; - postfix/dovecot + Roundcube for the web mail; - ejabberd (mostly to have notifications from my VPS); - goaccess for the web server statistics, portainer and a couple of FC…

i'm curious, i assume you bought a SSL certificate for your postfix/dovecot setup, myself i'm using one from sslforfree, do you mind to tell where did you got yours ? Recommended ?

A free certificate from Let's Encrypt works great for me. Before that I used free certificates from StartSSL.

I've been trying out fossil[1] for some small personal projects, it's a DVCS based on SQLite (from the same author, drh) and includes a wiki and issue tracking. I think I might even be starting to prefer it to git/git(lab|hub). [1]: https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wi...

How well does fossil work with binary files?

Potentially corrected about 9 years ago? http://fossil-users.fossil-scm.narkive.com/3Gpi9Y1n/fossil-s...

I run a whole bunch of different servers and apps in Docker on an old laptop with an i7 processor and 16GB RAM. One of my favourite self-hosted apps is WikiJs ( https://wiki.js.org/ ). It takes a git repository of markdown files and turns it into an editable wiki and syncs back changes to the git repository. I also use InfluxDB with Chronograf and Telegraf ( https://www.influxdata.com ) to collect and analyse logs. I…

How do you keep your docker images up to date? With virtual machines or even lxd containers, you can enable unattended upgrades but not with docker. There is a project (I forget the name) to destroy and rebuild containers with the newer image version, but it doesn't work with images that are built off of others using a Dockerfile.

watchtower (https://github.com/v2tec/watchtower) is the project you're probably thinking of. It works great for me.

Running on my NAS at home: * GitLab (GitHub + CI/CD replacement) * FreeNAS (Storage server) * Nextcloud (Dropbox replacement) * Syncthing (Dropbox replacement, Nextcloud did not work properly on my android phone) * In progress: Kubernetes cluster (just for fun, RKE + rook.io) * My own notes/wiki/task tracker I will release real soon now (TM) Thinking about setting up Gitea + Drone.io, GitLab is just too heavyweight f…

Out of curiosity, what was not working with Nextcloud on your Android phone? Nextcloud on my phone runs extremely well.

On a low end box:

* SSH

* OpenVpn

At home, started as needed:

* Samba for backups (dedicated NAS)

* Gitlab (VM on desktop)

I don't need much more. I'd like to merge all of this into my NAS, but the 14 hdd box draws 70W idle. I'm planning to use a rockpro64 instead to do all that. Maybe then I'll find other useful things.

Oh, and I have a RPi1 as a 3d printing and mqtt server.

At home; Emby-server for my home media library. APU OpenBSD router for my outer-most internet router at home. Unbound LAN resolver with a number of upstream unbound instances at different VPS providers. Libvirt hypervisor for personal projects. Synology DS411slim NAS and one homemade with emby, I'm wanting to replace the homemade one with FreeNAS mini though because I'm not happy with the HW in it. At work I've setup…

What is a homemade password pusher? Is that a method to securely send a password to a colleague or something?

It's very simple actually, some would call it insecure but it's just a means of sending an expiring link to someone where they can view the password temporarily.

Because people were sending so many passwords over e-mail or text messages so it was a necessity.

I just do it manually for now but have created some bash_aliases to help:

  alias dcup='docker-compose up -d'
  alias dcrestart='docker-compose down && dcup'
  alias dcpull='docker-compose pull'
  alias dcpullup='docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d'
