  Like 1 hour every two months or so, I just run an ansible playbook and check everything is working ok

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone selfhosting kavita?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes I use it a lot to read manga and some books. Works perfectly. On Android you can connect with CDisplayEX.

  Great starting point! I think option 1 will be better for this scenario. But later if you can, a cheap desktop build will be better for proxmox since you will have more room to expand and play with more things, add more storage even GPU for jellyfin.

  Have fun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you backup your data?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I perform a backup once a week from my main desktop to a HDD, then once a month I copy important data/files from all nodes (proxmox, rpi’s and main desktop) to 2 “cold” unplugged HDD that’s the only time I connect them. I do all of that using rsync with backup.sh and coldbackup.sh

  I use syncthing for notes across mobile/desktop/notebook, for that and other important files the backup goes to Google Drive or MEGA (besides the offline backup).

  I want to try S3 Glacier since is cheaper for cloud backup… has anyone tried?

  Sure you can check trash-guides.info

  and here is my setup, I’m using podman containers for everything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do any of you use Raspberry Pi’s ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m using my RPi4 4gb to run a home media server, jellyfin and *arr stack all containerized and automated. Also syncthing for obsidian. Works perfectly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your contingency for when the ISP goes down?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait for it to go up gain 🥲. But now I’m curious how people use 4G as second option maybe I will try juat for fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosted private/secure blog/journal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  +1 for obsidian and syncthing, I like to avoid the use of many applications. So everything related to writing text/notes for personal use I do centralize in obsidian. You can even make some drawings or handwriting with excalidraw, hady for diagrams.

  Goddady. It’s cheap they have my local currency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a Spotify replacement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What a good timing, I was looking for a YT music replacement.

  Navidrome seems like a good choice but is exactly what you’re are saying “classic media player with a webUI”. I like the convenience of YT music recommendations and all the music available even the music I don’t usually listen to. I would need a much bigger music library or a way to facilitate the music discovery and automate the downloads.

  I know there’s is Lidarr to automatically download music but I read some people saying music naming scheme is a mess. So anybody has successfully replaced Spotify or YT music with Navidrome or similar? How is your setup?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a Spotify replacement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How did you structure your library? Did you use lidarr?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Hard to Stay Motivated⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s hard at the beginning but as you keep doing it becomes easier. If you feel overwhelmed take a break for a few days and try again later. I think we all have been there and hit a wall. Self host, open source and Linux communities are friendly you can ask for help and find someone willing to help you, so don’t be afraid to ask for help (as I was before). Just take small steps.

  Don’t give up. Have fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My own mail server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Those that are hosting their own mail server, did you stop using regular mail (gmail, outlook etc). Is possible to migrate to self hosted mail? I don’t think I can’t stop using gmail and other google services that’s stopping me from trying to do this.
