Listing the docker images. All this is hosted on a 45 Drives unraid server. adguard/adguardhome - Blocks ads on devices that don't support ad block extensions charlocharlie/epicgames-freegames - Bot that will automatically "purchase" free games from the epic game store.

I setup https://paperless-ngx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ with a Brother ads2800w scanner and I no longer have a pile of paper mail sitting by my desk. I just scan it, tag it in Paperless-ngx, and then shred it. I just pushed up my script here if anyone wants to give this a try: https://github.com/jdoss/ppngx I will most likely move this to a Hashicorp Nomad job on my home server once I find the time.

The thing is desktop apps are Dead, for multiple reasons: - People don't trust anymore to install softwares on their computer, using them in the browser is safer - There is no good cross-platform UI, so nearly everything is now a web app - There is tons of good open-source softwares that you can self-host and use from anywhere instead of just one computer, also there is more expectations around sharing access to frie…
> People don't trust anymore to install softwares on their computer, using them in the browser is safer I doubt users know the difference. We got here because OS vendors don't trust users to install software on their computer. What we really need are simple, solid sandboxing APIs to empower developers to ship secure software. > There is no good cross-platform UI, so nearly everything is now a web app Yep. I spent the…
If you're looking for a C++ solution -- judging from the mention of Qt and WxWidgets -- have you tried Ultimate++ (https://www.ultimatepp.org)? To me it seems much more compact than either of the two.
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 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…
I moved to a new server, installed plex, tried to set everything up under my existing account. It was impossible to move my account to a new server, it seemed to just expect my old one to still be there.
After creating new accounts, removing the old server, etcetc. I just gave up and moved to Jellyfin. It’s been mostly equally good. Better in the sense that it stutters less on my TV (Could be TV app too). Worse in the sense that my parent cannot figure it out.
- Email: Mail-in-a-box - Cloud (Calendar/contacts/files/notes/photos): Nextcloud - Matrix: Synapse
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…
How much time do you spend maintaining this stuff every month? Like upgrading versions, etc.? Do you subscribe to any security channels? Do you care what language it's built in, try to keep it all on a few languages to minimize maintenance burden, etc.? I've been considering self-hosting, but put off thus far by the above concerns.
For security there are these scanners:
https://github.com/flyingcircusio/vulnix
https://github.com/andir/nix-vulnerability-scanner
I also run all services in docker and my network uses VLANs behind an OPNSense firewall. I use Wireguard as a pinch point into my network to access most services. So I'm not too worried about the security aspect.
Upgrading on Nix is pretty easy - just bump your lock file and it will get the latest packages, assuming you are on the unstable channel. But unstable does break on occasion. You an also use the latest stable release of Nix and selectively choose unstable packages, which is probably the way to go. I rarely need to fix anything - it's been pretty reliable - I feel like with each patch I make to my config (which is all checked into git), the system gets more reliable and reproducible - 2 steps forward, no steps back. It only starts eating time when I want to add or upgrade some element to the system, but I always make sure to never do any action that isn't captured in Nix config and backed up, so that I don't have to come back and figure out what exactly I did or how something works again. It's been fine. Nix has a pretty steep learning curve, but considering its power, I think it's absolutely worth it.

Is Amp closed source and/or require a license or payment?
AFAIK it's closed source, it's a perpetual license for $10. You can run it on 5 servers and it offers unlimited updates. I was wary initially but it's a solid, very well made and reliable product. Surprising how much functionality and configurability it offers via a Web UI and it's all written by one person. They did a Q&A last year to discuss the product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThigYganx1Y
Personally I've always been happy with the McMyAdmin license I had, and ended up also getting an AMP license later.
- 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 saves me from installing a bunch of stuff and weird dependency management on my laptop. Which is also an M1 Air, so doing it on a linux server is much nicer.
- Nginx Proxy Manager. Quick and easy reverse proxies to all my containers/services. Both local and internet facing.

I am out of the loop. What is “*arr”?
A collection of tools to help you get the media you probably paid too much for anyway but didn't get since Netflix and the rest never got the message that the reason why Spotify works even if it costs more than a CD a month is because everything is there. Netflix today is just mockery, at least in Europe. That said, I don't pirate, mostly because I believe in law and order. But I certainly won't report anyone else fo…
Where do you live? Seriously, I'd love to emigrate somewhere that gives me this comfort.
