Syncthing, Nextcloud, Calibre-web, GitLab, PiHole, Grocy.

TIL Calibre-web is a thing. Cool!

I was creating "htmlz" archives from calibre and then extracting them to a directory my nginx server could see but this is way cleaner/better.

Pihole. DNS-level ad-blocking for my network. Jellyfin. Movies/TV/Music server with a variety of clients, including a built-in web client, but also AndroidTV/Shield, Roku, Kodi, and more. It's like having a personal Netflix. Minecraft. The old Java kind. May be leaving for something open-source soon because MS has fucked up the account transitions so badly, and also make buying new copies bizarrely painful, error-pro…

Chiming in here to concur with your points about MS screwing up how to buy Minecraft. It's an absolute mess.

Everything in Minecraft Java and Bedrock worked fine until we logged into Microsoft's account thing. Now everything is always screwed up. MS cloud stuff is just awful on every level.

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.

I just used the standard integration documentation on HA's website.

I’ve never been one for the managed password apps like onepass or lastpass. Instead for years now I’ve kept everything in keepass shared out through Caldav. There’s an application on every single OS or marketplace that’s compatible.

> ...keepass shared out through Caldav...

I've used keepass for close to a decade, and synched via dropbox originally but utlimately switched to nextcloud for the synching...but, curious how and why you are sharing via *Caldav*? Care to share the "how" and the "why"?
