I'm late to the party but here's my list - cadvisor - simple graphs of resource consumption, insights per docker stack - cyberchef - a LOT of handy operations packed into one small app. Encode/decode any secrets you need and don't bother about privacy - dozzle - logs browser from all docker stacks - gogs - git mirror - heimdall - all apps main panel - minio - private S3 for my side projects - nextcloud - private goog…

Thanks for the info about photoprism. How does it handle videos, I have tonnes of home videos that I have no idea how to organise or manage.

PhotoPrism is something everyone recommends. TBH I haven't had a chance to try it with my entire library yet (I'm moving from Moments to NextCloud with PhotoPrism). I probably won't be using it with videos either, so sadly I can't answer your question.

what docker registry UI do you use? (afaik the official registry image doesn't have a web ui?)

That's correct, the registry is just a registry and you can make it work with any frontend. I use konradkleine/docker-registry-frontend:v2. See here https://github.com/tomwojcik/homeserver-traefik-portainer/bl...

Over time I've tried to whittle down my homelab and move more of it to Microsoft 365/Google Suite/iTunes Store with mixed results. Currently my must haves are: * Router - pfSense - https://www.pfsense.org/ * Movies/TV/Home Videos - Plex * Minecraft Server - AMP - https://cubecoders.com/AMPInstall * Music - Roon - https://roonlabs.com/ * Automation - HomeAssistant - https://www.home-assistant.io/ * Unifi Controller *…

I used Plex a number of years ago. In comparison with (whenever it was) they messed it up trying to monetize it.

Unfortunately it's the better option in that space.

Jellyfin is ok. Plex several years ago was much better.

I really really loved Plex, then suddenly my networks internet connection went down, no biggie I thought, I have my collection on Plex. Plex no longer worked offline at all. Not sure if that’s fixed, but I always saw it as a file server with a UI and webplayer. Plex also doesn’t let me pay for one premium subscription for the server so my family can watch old family guy episodes longer than 30 seconds on a phone. The…

Plex free + Tailscale is a surprisingly good solid solution.

To not make my list exhaustive and list my most used applications. - Vaultwarden. I see this in a shockingly small amount of lists. Selfhosted password manager. It’s been absolutely amazing and works with the Bitwarden apps. - Proxmox. Specifically LXC. For courses/sideprojects/whatever, I just spin up a clean Alpine/Arch LXC and use it for remote development through CLion/IDEA/PHPStorm or VSC. It’s been great and sa…

Started trying Vaultwarden last night and so far I'm really impressed. I have it integrated into my desktop, laptops and browsers. I just need to automate my backups. For self-hosting passwords and similar files it seems rock solid so far.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm using a very lazy hack for authenticating web services by letting Apache check the OpenID auth state in the browser and redirecting to Keycloak's login page if the session expired. It's like HTTP Basic Auth but with extra steps. It's basically these rules: OIDCCryptoPassphrase secretsecretsecret OIDCProviderMetadataURL https://keycloak.example.com/auth/realms/realmnamehere/.well-known/openid-configuration OIDCCli…

Looks like a Plus Feature, or in deed much config: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/10/08/configuring-ng...

Yes, I believe the way to do it with the free version is to use this: https://github.com/zmartzone/lua-resty-openidc

You'd have to be careful with custom code like this, though, because it's very easy to try to get the server to send a redirect but end up sending actual content that just has its HTTP status code changed to 301. The example seems to fail with 500 instead of redirecting, that's one way to do it.

People really should give Caddy a try. It's a nice breath of fresh air and make you figure nginx config is such a bloat. my.domain { reverse_proxy 10.0.0.2 } is all you need to get https://my.domain running with automatic Let's Encrypt.

The one thing keeping me from moving to Caddy, and maybe it's a user error, is that I can't figure out how to request a wildcard cert once and use it in multiple places. I have several subdomains that are not exposed to the internet and so without a wildcard I wouldn't be able to get an SSL certificate for them.

My main goal is to replace cloud services so I can be Google-free. I've also got LineageOS + MicroG on my phone. This is all running in docker containers on NixOS (other than OPNSense), with automated restic backups to a NAS as well as Backblaze. One of my goals is to be able to deploy all this again from scratch with minimal effort, and I think I succeeded, though haven't had to test it yet. Nextcloud - for caldav a…

> Xbrowsersync - sync bookmarks across device

Thank you, this is exactly something I was looking for!

You can share the Plex Pass benefit of the mobile apps by adding those users to your Plex Home. The apps also have a one-time purchase option that's like $5, they don't need the full Plex Pass subscription.
