- Comment on Good self-hosted webmail client? 1 hour ago:
To make it seamless so you can still Thunderbird, someone made a Docker image of it here: hub.docker.com/r/kebles/wanderbird But, you can probably find a newer release somewhere newer than 4 yrs old like this one. :) The point is, if you are wanting to keep it in the Thunderbird umbrella, then it’s most likely been Dockerized.
I’ve Tried Cypht recently, but if you are using Gmail, it has a conflict there so it won’t work out of the box without some extra work I think.
- Comment on New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7 3 days ago:
I can see them doing that, I use a DNS ad-block (Adguardhome) with plenty of filters and last night, I spotted that they were able to inject two ads (standard one to the right of the channels and one at the bottom below the menu for the new Minecraft movie when they changed my background. So, they are finding ways around this stuff. I simply disabled the Sponsored themes. We are on the fence about replacing the TV later this year but not 100% sure just yet. It’s been quite buggy randomly rebooting when switching sources and other things.

Not related to the server, but I was very happily surprised with the latest Roku Jellyfin channel. A complete refresh of everything and it’s great to see it.
- Comment on MAZANOKE update (image optimizer via browser): Batch upload and download 4 days ago:
Thanks for sharing this! I used it today to resize my Very large phone selfie I had to do for a profile image update at work and it did very nicely! Much faster for me to do that then load it in Gimp and scale it down since I was running late for work. : )
- Comment on sharevb/it-tools: Collection of handy online tools for developers, with great UX. 2 weeks ago:
Hmmm… Interesting! I didn’t realize there was a fork, but then again, this is one of those tools I’ve had running for several months close to a year or so and never thought about it. The original dev, Corentin, has been working on many more new projects: bsky.app/profile/corentin.tech .
- Comment on Self-hosted SSO 2 weeks ago:
I just tested my version of Firefox (Fresh from Play Store) and it worked without issues on my end to login to the server.
The only browser I’m aware of which doesn’t support it is the Duck Duck Go Browser which is a shame. They don’t seem to care about enabling WebAuthn support.
- Comment on Self-hosted SSO 3 weeks ago:
Pocket id is my go to. I used to use Authentik, but it was overkill for us. Pocket ID is pretty simple to use and has a very nice interface to add your users and clients. Uncluttered and straight and to the point. Pocket ID doesn’t use UN/PW Combos. Instead, you use Passkeys as in webAuthn devices to log in, which IMHO is one of the better security paths.
- Comment on What is your favourite way to transfer files in your homelab? 3 weeks ago:
I work from home, however my two systems (home and work) are on the same LAN, they don’t see each other for file sharing. I get paid via direct deposit like everyone else which means my pay stubs are all electronic. I print those out and then use WinSCP to copy those over to my desktop. No other files are ever sent.
At home, depending on the amount of files, I either use SFTP via Filezilla, or if the mood strikes me and for a single file, I will just use SCP if I’m already on the cli which is most of the time it seems anymore doing work on my personal servers. I’ve found that SFTP is faster at transferring than doing a copy/paste to the NFS share to the same drive.
- Comment on Performance comparison between various Hypervisors 4 weeks ago:
NFS4 I don’t think its obsolete.
I use it for my Desktop computers to connect to the server. All of my systems use Linux so that’s my primary use. They backup to the server nightly.
- Comment on Performance comparison between various Hypervisors 4 weeks ago:
I discovered about a few months ago that XCP-NG does not support NFS shares which was a huge dealbreaker for me. Additionally, my notes from my last test indicated that I could not mount existing drives without erasing them. I’m aware that I could have spun up a TrueNAS or other file sharing server to bypass this, but maybe not if the system won’t mount the drives in the first place so it can pass them to the TrueNAS . I also had issues with their xen-orchestra which I will talk about below shortly. They also at the time, used an out of date CentOS build which unless I’m missing something, is no longer supported under that branding.
For the one test I did which was for a KVM setup, was my Home Assistant installation, I have that running in Proxmox and ccomparativelyit did seem to run faster than my Proxmox instance does. But that may be attributed to Home Assistant being the sole KVM on the system and no other services running (Aside from XCP-NG’s).
Their Xen-Orchestra for me was a bit frustrating to install as well, and being locked behind a 14 day trial for some of the services was a drawback for me. They are working on the front end gui to negate the need for this I believe, but the last time I tried to get things to work, it didn’t let me access it.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread 5 weeks ago:
Pushed Wireguard back onto my network. I’ve been a Tailscale user for a couple of years, but never really saw the need for it for me as I’m the only user of the service. :)
I will freely admit though, there’s nothing wrong with the service and honestly is great if you are behind a CGNAT router or don’t want to use Cloudflare for your tunneling.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread 1 month ago:
If hardware service counts. :) I have been fighting for the last few months with my Promxox server telling me a drive went read only , from a SSD and even a HDD, very odd behavior and it finally pulled the last straw with me last Thursday. I had a 4TB drive acting as my Storage/backup drive which this complained about so I put a 1TB drive in which is pretty much 2 yrs old so plenty of life on it.
I went through and tested the SSD with extended tests and it passed with flying colors, so it dawned on me, maybe it’s the SATA data cable, and sure enough, it was. When I had run the
sudo smartctl -x -T permissive /dev/sdbit only presented very little information on it, swapping the cable and it now presents the full SMART data and stats as it should. Additionally, it’s been more stable with the performance so far. So I call that a win.In the software side, I have been going through the Home Assistant instance and removing dead/old entities I never had gotten to removing

I’m not the host or author of this one, but I know it already covers what you are wanting to do. ;)
- Comment on Selfhosted Trakt.tv alternative? 1 month ago:
github.com/ArabCoders/watchstate
I use this one for my Emby server and it keeps track of what we watch, and so far so good. I made it our Trakt.tv replacement and have no complaints so far.
- Comment on Prioritizing de-clouding efforts 2 months ago:
For Home Assistant, I use the installation script from here, it works flawlessly:
community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts
This group took over the project after the main developer passed on, they are quite easy to install and just need you to be in the Proxmox host shell (Once you install it, you will know where it is) :)
- Comment on Uses for a SBC (When You Already Have an x86 Mini-PC?) 4 months ago:
I have an Rpi4 4gb model and run Uptime-Kuma who’s sole purpose is to monitor my server and alert me if it should go down. I also have it acting as a Tailscale exit node.
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 4 months ago:
I’m about 99% sure it does, I don’t use it that way but It does allow DNS zones. For example:
It’s a lot more technical then Adguard Home for sure. Both work just fine though, I came from Adguard Home as I use a PXE server to provision some of my devices and Technitium is super easy to configure that.
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 4 months ago:
I had to create an account as per the usual process for these types of apps, but it was all local. I never had to do one to connect to their servers. I know it generates a unique instance ID which I believe phones home to their servers but I don’t mind personally.
As for my experience, a lot of it is locked behind their paid plans, so I just keep it limited to what I use which is fine. I do like it as it does better than NocoDB for my needs (the input forms is what I needed) and it does better there. I don’t recall the other reasons for not using NocoDB otherwise, but it’s a long while.
Their pricing is here: baserow.io/pricing
So, that’s mostly what is locked behind. My sleep form I built which feeds the database: Image
Overall, it does meet my needs so that’s all I ask. :)
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 4 months ago:
In no particular order, the most essential ones are those I constantly use throughout my day and also weekly.
Proxmox holds all of these in different LXC’s and VM’s
- Home Assistant
- Pocket-ID - github.com/stonith404/pocket-id (Exclusive Passkey login system as in -no un/pw just your Passkey which - doubles as an OIDC provider)
- Homepage (By Ben Phelps of gethomepage.dev)
- Vaultwarden
- TechnitiumDNS which handles all of my DHCP and Adblocking in a one system, extremely capable software especially useful for SOHO too.
- Baserow - Airtable alternative. It holds certain items of importance like what MAC address each device in my home network holds and what IP It uses in an intelligent view. I also was using it for a while to log issues with my sleep where I deal with insomnia, so I logged how well I slept, how many times I woke up, how long it took me to fall asleep etc. That was a simple form I created using drag/drop in Baserow and called by a URL.
- OpenVSCode server - makes editing my Homepage (above) yaml and my docker-compose files a breeze! It’s especially nice when you edit it something and it auto saves almost instantly. Makes some of my services change in real-time!
- UptimeKuma - Simply one of the best out there for me
- Gotify - I get alerted to my Tuya based dehumidifer tank being full via Home Assistant, Downtime alerts from UptimeKuma and a variety of other services which I deem higher priority alerts over “fix when you can” ones.
Aside from that, i do have other services I use every so often like Memos, Joplin Server (holds most of my notes), Pingvin and a few others.
