- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 4 days ago:
Using unbound on opnSense with blacklists. Works wonders and do not require an additional device.
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 4 days ago:
Went to try pfSense. Need to register to their shop to buy a free download link.
Then during installation it won’t install unless it can phone home and report.
OpnSense all the way.
- Comment on Anyone self-hosting ActualBudget? (with connection to bank) 3 weeks ago:
I do. I find it very useful.
Is it safe? No idea, but its read only, so seems that they cannot operate on your bank account in any case. That feels safe enough for me.
- Comment on How do you deploy in 10 seconds? 4 weeks ago:
These blog posts might seems a bit nahive, but making fun of them is not nice.
I still appreciated reading them and the raised some questions in me, even if maybe not the ones the author was aiming for.
Still interesting.
Whats wrong with people just criticizing everything around here? Are we getting toxic like “the other site”?
- Comment on You're overcomplicating production 4 weeks ago:
Not a bad take per-se, but a bit condescending. While I agree and like the KISS paradigm, remember that no solution works at a lower complexity level of the problem itself.
So, define your problem clearly, find the simplest possible solution. Don’t overcomplicate, I agree, but don’t be fooled by false hopes.
Is it really simpler? Yes. Will it scale if I need it to? Maybe not, but will I really need for it to scale?
And so on.
- Comment on Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network? 1 month ago:
Nope!
Just wasted 3 days debugging an IP assigned to two devices… Not fun, don’t do it…
- Comment on What's currently (2024) the best self-hosted alternative for a Facebook Wall type of user experence? 2 months ago:
I think that proposing immich for every use case out there is not the correct answer.
As much as I like immich, this is not a good use case… iMHO.
- Comment on LDAP to UNIX user proxy 2 months ago:
Well, here is the relevant part then, sorry if it was not clear:
- Jellyfin will not play well with reverse proxy auth. While the web interface can be put behind it, the API endpoints will need to be excluded from the authentication (IIRC there are some examples on the web) but the web part will stil force you to double login and canot identify the proxy auth passed down to it.
- Jellyfin do support OIDC providers such Authelia and it’s perfectly possible to link the two, in this case as i was pointing out, Jellyfin will still use it’s own authentication login window and user management, so the proxy does not need to be modified.
TLDR: proxy auth doesnt work with Jellyfin, OIDC yes and it bypassess proxy, so in both cases proxy will not be involved.
- Comment on LDAP to UNIX user proxy 2 months ago:
This is my jellyfin nginx setup: wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services:jellyfin#re…
currently i don’t use any proxy related authentication because i need to find the time to work with the plugins in Jellyfin. I don’t have any chromecast, but i do regularly use the Android Jellyfin app just fine.
I expect, using the OIDC plugin in jellyfin, that Jellyfin will still manage the login via Authelia itself, so i do not expect much changes in NGINX config (except, maybe, adding the endpoints).
- Comment on LDAP to UNIX user proxy 2 months ago:
Never found a service that don’t work with nginx reverse proxy.
My jelly fin does.
Don’t run photoprims tough…
- Comment on LDAP to UNIX user proxy 2 months ago:
You might use LDAP, but its total overkill.
I have not yet worked jellyfin with authelia, but its more or less the last piece and I don’t really care so far if its left out.
A good reverse proxy with https is mandatory, so start with that one. I mean, from all point of views, not login.
I have all my services behing nginx, then authelia linked to nginx. Some stuff works only with basic auth. Most works with headers anyway, so natively with authelia. Some bitches don’t, so I disable authelia for them. Annoying, but I have only four users so there is not much to keep in sync.
- Comment on LDAP to UNIX user proxy 2 months ago:
They actually do, i am down the same path recently and installing authelia was the best choice I made. Still working on it.
But most stvies support either basic auth, headers auth, oidc or similar approaches. Very few don’t.
- Comment on Web printing 2 months ago:
Ok, I have a web browser on a locked down device and nothing else: how do I print a pdf or a photo using IPP?
I have: a camera, a browser, a file manager (kind of, think of an iPhone or some stock android business device) and I need to print a photo taken with the camera or a pdf file sent to me via email or WhatsApp?
The device is connected to the WiFi guest network with limited internet access (if any) and as only available service a server with port 443 open (a reverse proxy on that, captive portal and such).
In my experience, there is no way to print via cups in this configuration. Maybe I am wrong?
- Comment on Web printing 2 months ago:
It still requires the device to be capable to print…
And the user to find the printer select it and so on. And must expose more ports on the network beside 443…
So, indeed cups is a great solution, but not to the problem I want to solve.
I do use cups in fact for the trusted part of the network, driverless printing for windows and Linux. Android doesn’t even need cups since it picks up the printer directly from the printer itself (AirPrint or whatevee that’s called).
- Comment on Web printing 2 months ago:
I known cups can share printers and queues.
What is unclear?
I don’t want to pull drivers or install cups on devices. I want to print from anywhere just uploading a file to a web page.
If I have lots of devices or just want to let somebody print from his phone/tablet without installing or configuring anything…
With cups I still need to touch the system or the device somehow to let it print.
- Comment on Web printing 2 months ago:
Yes, this is what I am afraid of… There is nothing out there for this task.
Hope to find something or maybe try to create something using lpr on the background… But this is the las hope as I have little time.
- Comment on Web printing 2 months ago:
I want to print from a web page: upload the file, hit print button.
In this way I can print from whatever device I want even without any driver installed or configuration.
- Comment on Web printing 2 months ago:
Yes, sure I am… Would probably prefer a bash CGI because I like challenges :)
(Author and such would be managed by my reverse proxy)
But I would prefer something already baked if it exist

- Comment on Issue with local DNS and Android 2 months ago:
Well, my experience is that unless you set static IP+DNS in android WiFi advanced networks, it will not obey the dhcp option 6.
LineageOS, vanilla with mind the gapps
- Comment on Issue with local DNS and Android 2 months ago:
Yes, perfectly… My guess is android bypass local resolver and goes via DoH l, which sucks hard
- Comment on Issue with local DNS and Android 2 months ago:
Thanks! This explains a few things… But not why Android is IGNORING my DNS pushed via DHCP even if private DNS is disabled…
- Comment on Issue with local DNS and Android 2 months ago:
It’s blatantly ignoring the DNS i set via DHCP it seems. Only if i set it manually (static) it will use it! I have no subnets
- Comment on Issue with local DNS and Android 2 months ago:
Private DNS is disabled.
And even ping from tmux fails…

- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 2 months ago:
I vote for public votes. Your comments, history and activity is already public, what can you gain from “hidden” votes as much as privacy?
- Comment on Follow-up post of my storage question from yesterday: Are there ANY storage extension options on my mainboard? 3 months ago:
Been using USB since forever. I have one USB3 jbod with four SSDs (2 RAID1 + 2 RAID1) and an USB-C double enclosure with two spinning disks (RAID1 as well)
Setup is running flawless since 2016 at the very least, but I was using USB even before that timeframe.
All the RAIDs are Linux software RAID.
