I dockerized FileHunter and workflowed it on project updates: https://github.com/ikidd/file-hunter-dockerized

Seems to work fine, idk why author didn’t have it dockerized already, seems like a project ready made for that.

Nothing broke

Setup Set up my audiobookshelf server successfully. Also, just realized that the Synology NAS that I’ve had running for a couple of years now without really using it much, can be mounted onto my Debian server, that I use a lot, as a mass storage and will work just fine. Mind blown. I now have plenty of storage after struggling for a while. Lmao.

I just replaced the piece of junk XFi router with a proper Ubiquiti dream router 7. I didn’t think it would make this big of a difference, but wow. Had to keep the old thing in bridge mode though. I want to next replace the cable modem built into the thing, but Comcrap requires you either use their equipment for $20/mo or you have to pay for unlimited data for $30/mo. They actually change you more to have the pleasure of not using their junk equipment.

This week - Apache Airflow setup to automate running backups (replacing cron).

I deployed ntfy and traefik, and adapted a few composes to use it.

It may not really be selfhosting but, managed to get a live USB with persistence so that i don’t need to carry a laptop around

I migrated openaw from docker running on my raspberry pi to an old nuc I had lying around. Backed it with mainly models off of OpenRouter or my local Ollama instance. For very difficult tasks it uses anthropic. Added it to my GitHub repo and implemented Plane for task management. Added a subagent for coding and have it work on touch up or research tasks I don’t have personal time to do. Made an sdlc document that it follows so I can review all of its work. Added a cron so it checks for work every hour. It ran out of tasks in five days. Work quality: C+, but it’s a hell of a lot better than having nothing.

It helped research and implement SilverBullet for personal notes management in one shot.

I also migrated all of my services’ DNS resolution to CloudFlare so I get automatic TLS handoff and set up nginx with deny rules so any app I don’t want exposed don’t get proxied.

This weekend I’m resurrecting my HomeAssistant build.

I’ve been self-hosting for years, but with a recent move comes a recent opportunity to do my network a bit differently. I’m now running a capable OpenWRT router, and support for AdGuard Home is practically built into OpenWRT. I just needed to configure it right and set it up, but the documentation was comprehensive enough.

For years I had kept a Debian VM for Pi-Hole running. I kept it ultra lean with a cloud kernel and 3 gb of disk space and 160MB of RAM, just so it could control its own network stack. And I’d set devices to manually use its IP address to be covered. AGH seems to be about the same exact thing as Pi-Hole. With my new setup the entire network is covered automatically without having to configure any device. And yes, I know I could’ve done the same before by forwarding the DNS lookups to the Pi-Hole, but I was always afraid it would cause a problem for me and I’d need an easy way to back out of the adblocking. Subjectively, over about 6 years, I only had a couple worthless websites that blocked me out.

I haven’t yet gotten to the point where I’m trying to also to intercept hardcoded DNS lookups, but soon… It’s not urgent for me because I don’t have sinister devices that do that.

this is a great thread! this should be a recurring one

I got fedora installed on a refurbished win11 laptop and finally got jellyfin working in my new house after i moved 1.5 years ago.

Kodi got me by in the dark times but its nice to have episode progress saved and being able to resume from any browser on my local network.

My servers are up

I managed, without ever trying, to convert a friend to swap to Linux about a month ago.

Today I’m driving over to give him my old old server so he can start self hosting. He’s super keen on getting started.

So not my success, but ours? One more person joins the community today!

Finally got the time to set up OpenCloud. It is a pain in the ass to wade through their convoluted clusterfuck of compose files, but it is worth it! Sometime next week I’ll refactor my current deployment. If I deem it fine, I might post it here for others to reference.

Managed to finally get around to self-hosting ntfy, added that to uptime kuma as notifications, experimenting with Checkcle, stood up a invidious instance for funsies (prob will see how much i use it, but might as well).
