    Probably half of LET :lol: I run it on OCI and on OVH (via Smokey DA thing, very easy to install but somewhat limited because of DA).

    Whoogle stopped working for you, right?

  • @vitobotta said: Whoogle stopped working for you, right?

    It did, but there's an update, so it's working again. It's using Mullvad Leta now.

    4get also stopped working for google, but I'm using Mullvad Leta with it, also.

    Searxng is currently broken for google.

    ah Yeah, Mullvad Leta. I am using it with Searxng at the moment for the same reason.

  • I got searxng working with Mullvad Leta, too; had to change the settings.

    I mostly use 4get for searches.

    First time I hear of 4get. Is it working with Google or Mullvad Leta as well?

  • @vitobotta said: First time I hear of 4get. Is it working with Google or Mullvad Leta as well?

    4get isn't working anymore with native google search, but it works with google api (if you have an api key) or google cse, as well as Mullvad Leta. It has many search engines.

    Do you use it with a Google API key or Mullvad Leta?

    I'm using it with Mullvad Leta.

    Ok, thx

  • FreshRSS for now. I also wanted to setup Wallabag, but it seems to have some issues with podman.
    I was also thinking about adding NextCloud.

    are you able to set it properly for any laravel projects?

    I had very high hopes but after few hours, i gave up on it.

    How do you manage the backup?

    You should try ente to :)

  • CasaOS + Jellyfin + Cloudflared 👍

    On another server for data I use MyVestaCP + Samba ✔️

    Also NextCloud, KeyHelp control panel for web sites and email + MXRoute Outbound Relay. This control panel uses Restic for backups.

  • I use Kodi at home but found its garbage over VPN, especially with large numbers of files in a dir. Tried jellyfin and was WAY more responsive, but I didn't like the remote controls for playback control.

    I've made Kodi keymap updates over the years and now muscle memory used to it.

    Can jellyfin client change playback controls?

    CasaOS with jellyfin and related images.

    then i use aaPanel for all VPSes and try many images here n there but mostly discards them.


    Earlier i inspired from LET to selfhost a lot of things then realized....it takes more times and over the period it becomes boring.

    There is no backup :tongue: It's mostly trying things out. Plex media is saved on another set of external drives.

    Will have a look :)

    Hahaha got it. I was very interested with casaos since the UI looks good. But since it doesn't have proper built in backup method, I go with coolify.
    But migrating all to kubernetes now.

    CasaOS doesn't receive updates anymore since the devs are pushing their ZimaOS now (freemium model). With a fresh install I'd probably just use Portainer

    I self host a lot of stuff that have already been mentioned.

    But if I have to add something I'd say:

    • Gatus

    I still use Uptime-Kuma for redundancy but Gatus can monitor and parse endpoints like healthcheck urls and also it works better with my deployment workflow with ansible (just need to append some yaml to Gatus). I'd like to move my UK instance to Peekaping once they implement the feature I need, I feel that UK uses too much resources on low end specs.

    • Seaweedfs for S3
    • Matrix (synapse)
    • Pi-hole nodes on my WG servers to have my custom DNS available everytime I connect to one.
    • Smallstep-CA for acme challenge on my custom domains
  • For DNS, I switched awhile back to running unbound on my servers in front of blocky to apply the blocklists.

    Hey, quick question for anyone self hosting Nextcloud-do you use local storage or object storage?

    I've tried object storage before, but the performance was hit or miss. Now I've set up a cloud instance and a bucket, both in Helsinki with Hetzner. I'm going to give object storage another try, since having the server and bucket in the same location might make things faster.

    The only reason I've been using a dedicated server for Nextcloud is to get more storage at a lower cost. But honestly, I'd much rather use object storage if it works well.

    Thanked by 2nghialele Hetzner_OL

    I use both local storage and S3 (both VM and S3 are in the same region, same provider) with Nextcloud and happy with both options.
