I hate products with generic names. It makes it utterly impossible to search for.
Even if this OP post might explain it, it is still useless when taken out of context like in the esteemed comment above this one.
/rant, sorry, thank you.

LOL. Back in the day I saw a band open for somebody and the band name was ‘Bob.’ Even in the early aughts searching for ‘Bob’ was a pointless activity. They eventually changed the name to Super Bob which is just as stupid but at least searchable.

I’m gonna start a company that creates cheap life saving products called “Chris”

Its a CRM, i agree with the gripes about the name but tbf I’m kinda surprised to see it on here? The GitHub repo seems pretty dead

Recently discovered changedetection.io. It nicely filled the need I had. I have it watching a few static forum posts for updates that are communicated that way.

I could never get it working right due to captchas on sites, its a beat idea though
Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’m a little confused. It’s this a self hosted program? Following the link I see a monthly subscription cost.

does this count as a spoiler?

This feels 1000% like a chatgpt prompt copy and pasted into a webpage.

Yea, no links to any of the tools.

If I’m only looking for document storage and maybe a caldav (Android caldav options are rough) what would be best?
Cyber@feddit.uk 1 hour ago
Or, just radicale and syncthing (if you don’t need a webUI)
Bakkoda@lemmy.world 40 minutes ago
I have a working radicale lxc currently powered off because the integration is almost 100% app dependant on a Googlefied device. I can apparent just add a caldav easy as that in graphene but my wife’s aosp device ala Google fi needs an app and they ask y seem to suck.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 hour ago
Syncthing isn’t quite the same
I’d be more likely to use a SMB share

I’m going against the new-age tech grain with this, but… I fucking despise docker anything. I can follow directions fine, it’s the troubleshooting that takes too much time. Sure, I’ll learn it eventually, but I do IT for a living I’m not coming home to waste my nights also doing this.
I’ve setup ZimaOS as a massive NAS with Yunohost on anything web-hosted/accessible. A. It’s easier with a graphical UI on stuff that’s packaged. B. Installing, updating, and most other steroids are pretty well automated/packaged to work really well. C. When i have the conversations with friends who aren’t tech savvy and are overwhelmed, I want to have firsthand knowledge of easy systems that’re basic, but powerful, and will help them dip their toes in freedom.
No Proxmox, no docker stuff, no nested VMs, no more complex setups. While I can learn to troubleshoot and memorize CLI, I’m too old and busy with family and work/commute to deal with problems at home lol. Too much tinkering has poised my wife off to the point she thinks all the self hosted stuff is unreliable. So, I deploy, test, vet basic issues, and if it’s too much time or setup involved, or dependencies on other apps, I’m out!!
Too many containers, too many fragile, partial service apps that just feel incomplete. Yuno and Zima (formerly casa) are great!! Others being tested too for fun but at snails pace lol.
x00z@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
I had that same feeling until I actually learned it.
There’s close to no performance loss, it’s better for security, it makes it extremely easy for developers to ship something that just works, it allows easy updating, and much more.
I prefer docker over almost anything now, and it has made my life much easier.
osanna@lemmy.vg 9 hours ago
my SD card in my ras pi got corrupted recently. Thankfully I had my docker directory backed up. I pulled the docker directory,
docker compose up -dand within about 20 minutes (not including downloading time) I was back up and running. Docker is a godsend.
TrumpetX@programming.dev 1 day ago
I don’t disagree with you, but for a single server hosting multiple projects with differing system dependencies, docker is amazing. I’ve come around to using it for this practical reason.
Using docker over direct installation always feels like an unnecessary interface layer that just complicates things and introduces points of failure.
mrnobody@reddthat.com 23 hours ago
Docker makes sense for several applications, but there’s no intuition unless you’re good at memorizing commands/command lines. I can’t just open up an installer or fumble through it decently well enough to get up and running.
While a UI does add overhead, done well it’s not bad. But also, different people learn different styles, and for the extra bit of resources, I’m willing to sacrifice a few MB ram or CPU utilization for less tinker time. However, 20 years ago I didn’t mind spending that time learning stuff like that because I had a lot more time and way less commitments!

You sir, need an AI agent to maintain your self-hosting addiction and free you from the shackles of homelab responsibility. Automate the automations that maintain the automations. That’s the real endgame. /s

Hah, nice! Yeah maybe my self-hosted AI agent will “take my job” from me at home! Boom, genius

I would add searxng - a bit finnicky to set up but very powerful and customizeable.
x00z@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
I like the idea of SearXNG, but I don’t see why so many people like it for self hosting. You’re still querying search engines with your IP which in many self hosted cases is the same IP as the one you browse the internet with. I think SearXNG is really good if you setup a service on a server IP (like a VPS) and it gets used by multiple people, or if you tunnel it trough a VPN, but then again you could also just VPN your search engine searches.
So why do you like it? Is it for the aggregation of multiple engines? Or maybe the fact that it doesn’t link your specific browser to a search? I really wonder and am not hating.
realitaetsverlust@piefed.zip 3 hours ago
You’re still querying search engines with your IP
IP in itself might not be as much of a problem, unless you have a static IP, which most consumers don’t. And even if you do, you are also hiding a lot of baggage relating to user agents or other fingerprintable settings. IP alone is rarely used as a sole point to link your traffic to other datapoints. On top of that, you can still just decide to exclude google, bing etc from your search results and rely more “open” ones like DDG or ecosia.
Another huge upside of searxng is the aggregation of results. The search results of google are all up to, well, google. Same with bing, which is controlled by microsoft. If these companies now decide to “surpress” certain information, people using only those engines directly would no longer see those news. However, if you get your results from multiple search engines, you are not - or lets say less - affected by that kind of nonsense.
As always with news and information, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. And that’s where searxng helps out tremendously.
negativenull@piefed.world 1 day ago
Searxng is my most used self hosted service. It’s amazing
slackarr@piefed.ca 10 hours ago
same, i pipe it through gluetun with my Linux isos. works great. maybe second only to jellyfin in most used
kalpol@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
AI generation aside, not a bad list. I’d add searxng, and, opnsense/pfsense is really awesome to have with pfblocker, and then wireguard so you get all the benefits on the go.
moontorchy@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Sadly SearXNG is plagued by captcha limit. Nothing I tried reliable works.

Not even running your own? Once you get past the Docker config you can have your own endpoint. Mine has never had any issues

I tried to setup some kinda self hosted AI image generation last month. I didn’t know wtf I was doing and accomplished nothing. Need to give it another try.
dogzilla@masto.deluma.biz 1 day ago
@GaMEChld @selfhosted I kinda got this running and I’m here to tell you - unless you’re willing to babysit it through the constant changes and updates and dependency hell that creates, you might be better off just paying for api use at something like https://fal.ai
GaMEChld@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Yeah, this is true. I just like to tinker. I already pay for one AI tool for like actual use as a tool in my life. The self hosted image thing attempt was like, hey my next home lab project, let’s see how easy it is to just get an image generated from scratch with nothing currently setup! The answer I found was, "you still need more training grasshopper. Much to learn. "

I just learned about Uptime Kuma from this post and spent an hour spinning it up in a container, building my status page, and setting up monitoring for my services and game servers. It’s working great so far for me. What do you prefer about Beszel? I’m looking into it now and it looks great too
Samsy@lemmy.ml 10 hours ago
Uptime is really good for simple uptime, no worries it gets the job done. Bezsel does more metrics, like a Prometheus+Graphana combination but simpler to set up.
