- Comment on VPN to home network options 3 months ago:
I set it up manually using this as a guide. It was a lot of work because I had to adapt it to my use case (not using a VPS), so I couldn’t just follow the guide, but I learned a lot in the process and it works well.
- Comment on Have you tried LocalGPT PrivateGPT or other similar alternatives to ChatGPT? 4 months ago:
I’ve tried both this and github.com/jmorganca/ollama. I liked the latter a lot more; just can’t remember why.
GUI for ollama is a separate project: github.com/ollama-webui/ollama-webui
- Comment on Firefox will support at least 200 new extensions on Android this December 5 months ago:
I wish they would carry on the momentum and return support for hardware keyboard shortcuts. This is the one thing that’s killing Android tablets for me (I’m not willing to use a Chromium-based browser): connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/…/3836

- Comment on Bitwarden and Nginx proxy manager 6 months ago:
SWAG is great for overwhelmed Nginx beginners. It comes preconfigured with reasonable defaults and also provides configs for a bunch of popular services: github.com/linuxserver/reverse-proxy-confs. Both Bitwarden and Vaultwarden are on there. Note that this setup assumes that you will run your service (Bitwarden/Vaultwarden) in a Docker container. You can make SWAG work with something that’s running directly on the host, but I’d recommend not starting with that until you’ve fooled around with this container setup a bit and gained a better understanding of how Nginx and reverse proxies work.

- Comment on Trouble moving a container and its data to another server 7 months ago:
In response to your update: Try specifying the user that’s supposed to own the mapped directories in the docker compose file. Then make sure the UID and GID you use match an existing user on the new system you are testing the backup on.
First you need to get the id of the user you want to run the container as. For a user called
foo
, runid foo
. Note down the UID and GID.Then in your compose file, modify the db_recipes service definition and set the UID and GID of the user that should own the mapped volumes:
db_recipes: restart: always image: postgres:15-alpine user: "1000:1000" # Replace this with the correct UID and GID matching your user volumes: - ./postgresql:/var/lib/postgresql/data env_file: - ./.env
Recreate the container using
docker compose up -d
(don’t just restart it; you need to load the new config from the docker compose file). Then inspect thepostgresql
directory usingls -l
to check whether it’s actually owned by user with UID 1000 and group with GID 1000. This should solve the issue you are having with that backup program you’re using. It’s probably unable to copy that particular directory because it’s owned by root:root and you’re not running it as root (don’t do that; it would circumvent the real problem rather than help you address it).Now, when it comes to copying this to another machine, as already mentioned you could use something that preserves permissions like rsync, but for learning purposes I’d intentionally do it manually as you did before to potentially mess things up. On the new machine, repeat this process. First find the UID and GID of the current non-root user (or whatever user you want to run your containers as). Then make sure that UID and GID are set in the compose files. Then inspect the directories to make sure they have the correct ownership. If the compose file isn’t honoring the user flag or if the ownership doesn’t match the UID and GID you set for whatever reason, you can also use
chown -R ./postgresql
to change ownership. - Comment on Trouble moving a container and its data to another server 7 months ago:
As others have already mentioned, you are probably correct that it’s a permission error. You could follow the already posted advice to use tools that maintain permissions like rsync, but fixing this botched backup manually could help you learn how to deal with permissions and that’s a rather fundamental concept that anyone selfhosting would benefit from understanding.
If you decide to do this, I would recommend reading up on the concept of user and group permissions on linux and the commands that allow you to inspect ownership and permissions of directories and files as well as the UID and GID of users. Next step would be to understand how Docker handles permissions for mapped directories. You can get a few pointers from this short explanation by LSIO: docs.linuxserver.io/…/understanding-puid-and-pgid. Bear in mind that this is not a Docker standard, but something specific to LSIO Docker images. See also docs.docker.com/compose/…/05-services/#long-synta…. This can also be set when using
docker run
by using the–user
flag.Logs can also help pinpoint the source of the issue. The default docker compose setup in Tandoor’s docs sets up several containers, one of which acts as a database (
db_recipes
based onpostgres:15-alpine
). Inspect that in real time usingdocker logs -f db_recipes
to see the exact errors. - Comment on Microsoft Edge could use a win 7 months ago:
github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil
Run this after every update, specifically the tweak that uninstalls Edge. Makes things a lot easier. It also gives you the option to delay feature updates by two years and only install security updates on time.
- Comment on Online Ads Can Infect Your Device with Spyware 7 months ago:
One thing I like about this particular layer of defense is that it gives you more insight into the activities of the software and operating systems you’re using. The statistics they provide (I use Adguard Home) have proven very useful for me on several occasions .

- Comment on Invidious Docker install hanging? 8 months ago:
Ooooh, good catch. I assumed “it’s been giving me the same message for over an hour” to mean that they’ve been monitoring the logs, not running in interactive mode. O_O
- Comment on Invidious Docker install hanging? 8 months ago:
That log entry is unrelated to whatever issues you’re having. That’s what the default
docker-compose.yaml
uses for health checks:healthcheck: test: wget -nv --tries=1 --spider http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v1/comments/jNQXAC9IVRw || exit 1 interval: 30s timeout: 5s retries: 2
The fact that it returns a 200 probably means that Invidious is properly up and running. Could you elaborate further on what you mean by “setup isn’t completing”? How are you trying to connect to the web UI? Sharing your
docker-compose.yaml
might help us debug as well. - Comment on Reverse Proxy vs VPN: How do you access your home-server? 8 months ago:
One thing I need to publicly expose is my own instance of Mealie. It’s a recipe manager that supports multiple users. I share it with family and friends, but also with more distant acquaintances. I don’t want to have to provide and manage access to my network for each and every one of them.
- Comment on YouTube’s anti-ad blocking test gets even pushier with a new timer 8 months ago:
It drives me mad when I use PCs of friends and relatives and I see AdBlock Plus installed, but they still get ads and they never seem to stop and wonder why this “ad blocker” is not working! I do however enjoy their facial expressions when I install uBlock Origin for them and start refreshing pages.
