What made you switch to it over tailscale+headscale? Currently that’s been doing everything I need without issue.
- Comment on RIP Discord: Self-Hosted Discord Alternatives Tested (TeamSpeak, Stoat, Fluxer, Matrix, & More) 2 weeks ago:
Check out the Teamspeak6 beta. I don’t know about offline messages but it addresses all your other complaints. I moved to it from Mumble somewhat recently and have been very happy with it.
- Comment on noob questions seeking non-noob answers 2 weeks ago:
Machine wise anything will work. Give yourself a chassis with room to add more disks down the road or just build your storage setup in a way that gives you what flexibility you need (though that tends to come with sacrifices).
I use Nextcloud for general file syncing between devices as occaisonal small file sharing.
- Comment on Theoretically speaking, if one wanted to sail the seas while being not very tech savvy – is using a VPN (Mullvad) enough? I would never, of course… but theoretically? 2 weeks ago:
Mulvad is great but if you need port forwarding you’ll have to look elsewhere as they no longer provide that feature.
- Comment on Password manager woes. How have you solved syncing on Android? 2 weeks ago:
I use keepass2android and “sync” via its native WebDAV support with my nextcloud instance as the source. Been working great forever.
- Comment on Presenting ilias, yet another dashboard because obviously the world needed one more 4 weeks ago:
Ah, well, then perhaps I will monitor it.
For internal use I just monitor everything with zabbix. What Ive been wanting is (as I said) a public “status screen” that my few users can hit just to verify if things are in fact down or if it’s just them.
- Comment on Presenting ilias, yet another dashboard because obviously the world needed one more 4 weeks ago:
Ok, you might have finally gotten me to consider a “dashboard”. I’ve been wanting a simple public facing service status page and this sounds like a nice solution.
- Comment on Which wiki software to host 4 weeks ago:
Someone just posted their own short reviews of a slew of wiki options in this community so maybe go take a peek at that.
Personally I’m finding I like Otterwiki quite a lot though I’ve not yet dug deep into it.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I use portraiter extensively and am quite fond of it. I normally live on the CLI so picking a GUI tool over client management is unusual for me but I’ve found portainer largely just makes typical management easier and doesn’t get in my way at all.
For your other questions I have no answers. I self host everything so to me “what is worth running” is not a question that makes sense. I run what I need and my needs therefore define what I run.
I stick to IRC over matrix.
- Comment on Mini PC to replace fiber modem and wifi router. How to proceed? 5 weeks ago:
500Mbps isn’t a measurement of electrical consumption
- Comment on Heaper, new tools to organize docs, photos [YouTube] 5 weeks ago:
To each their own but I think I prefer to stick to Nextcloud and just continue to keep things organized the old fashioned way for the most part.
Though for documents those all get fed to paperless-ngx
- Comment on Syncthing Backup w Raspberry Pi 1 month ago:
That sounds fine. I would only say don’t use Syncthing to actually make your backups. My preference and recommendation is restic, possibly combined with the helper utility autorestic.
- Comment on Bringing playlists into lidarr - how and what tool? 1 month ago:
Lidarr isn’t really meant for that so you’re always going to fighting things I unfortunately
- Comment on Can you help me adapt the Signal TLS Proxy to be used behind NPM? 1 month ago:
NPM likes to eat the let encrypt requests which is what I’m assuming is breaking the cert gen inside the container. I believe you can work around this, but honestly I’d recommend just moving to a more advanced but more flexibile proxy solution.
Personally I recommend Traefik. There isn’t a friendly gui to help you but once you wrap your head around it things just work. It also allows for defining proxy parameters right in your compose file via labels so it takes out the need to log into NPM and manage proxy entries there. Just deploy you’re compose fils and you’re off.
As far as making what you’ve got just work, you can either try to get NPM to stop intercepting the LE cert requests or hack up the signal-tls-relay container and jam the NPM certs into it. I wouldn’t recommend either of these options though. I’ve been in a similar scenario and it’s this among other reasons why I moved off NPM. I started with NPM because I thought it would be simple and easy and it is, right up until you want to do a thing even slightly outside of its fairly limited box.
- Comment on Do you rebuild your container images yourself? 3 months ago:
Not yet but I plan to. Just haven’t gotten around to setting it all up yet.
- Comment on Selfhosted alternatives to Discord with screensharing? 3 months ago:
To my knowledge there is no such thing available however you have just enlightened me about TS6’s featureset. It sounds like it is the exact solution you are asking for (and one I’m going to immediately try out myself.)
- Comment on Keeping .yaml files up to date... 3 months ago:
I don’t pay any mind to example compose files. My are all quite custom anyway. Only thing that matters is paying attention to changelogs and watching for breaking changes.
- Comment on Docker setup for debian 13 trixie Ansible Playbook 4 months ago:
It’s a learning exercise
Then crack open the documentation and learn how to actually write and use ansible
- Comment on Made an alternative to Tailscale + Gluetun 4 months ago:
Thanks for the followup. This one is actually exactly what I was think about building. I just stood it up and it works perfectly.
- Comment on Recommendations for an all-SSD home server? 4 months ago:
You’re requirements are too vague as “lots of apps/VMs” doesn’t describe the expected load. Overall though if you want small just build a mini-ITX system. Then you can put in any x86 chip that fits your needs.
- Comment on Interoperability between self-hosted services 4 months ago:
Can’t say I’ve run into a need for such consideration yet. Excluding stacks explicitly meant to work together to some degree most of my services are an island to themselves and I like it that way. Then as far as notifications are concerned pretty much every supports at least email or ntfy.sh.
- Comment on The 'if this goes down, I riot' self-hosted app 4 months ago:
Thanks for the warning. To the blocklist it goes.
- Comment on Made an alternative to Tailscale + Gluetun 4 months ago:
I’ll have to check this out. I’ve been meaning to rig up a container for this same scenario.
- Comment on Does anyone have experience with Mumble? 4 months ago:
Well there can be some “risk” depending on how you’re going about this. I’m assuming you will be wanting people outside of your home network to be able to each your server. To do so you’ll either have to open a port in your LAN firewall and expose your server on said port to the internet, or have all users who will be using this on a VPN you create.
The former being “more risky” but quantifying that risk is difficult. Ive done this in the past and don’t personally see it as a big deal. My current mumble server does not live on my LAN but I will be pulling my server out of a local data center in the nearish future and running it out of my home once more at which point a number of publicly accessible services will be hosted from my LAN.
- Comment on Does anyone have experience with Mumble? 4 months ago:
The short answer to “can you add it to your home server” is yes. It’s not like there is some cap beyond your own system resources that prevents you from running multiple services.

He’s a spammer. Block him.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 5 months ago:
Yeah I didnt abandon Plex because I couldn’t afford it. I have a number of gripes with plex but as long as it remained free I had no strong motivated to get rid of it. Now that I would have to pay though I have no interest in keeping it around. I am quite happy with jellyfin even if it may lack polish on some of its facets and I regularly accept inconvenience to uphold my own operating philosphies.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 5 months ago:
Correct. Remote streaming used to be free. That changed…in April? I don’t remember the exact date but it was announced earlier this year and has been slowly rolling out. Now you either have to have a Plex pass for your server or each user who wants to remote stream has to pay for a remote watching subscription and show in OPs screenshot.
There are of course ways to get around this such as all your users being on a VPN so as far as Plex can see its “internal”.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 5 months ago:
Yes, however using the relay is not a prerequisite to being required to pay for a Plex subscription. That is what he is trying to say.
I can run Plex on the open internet and not use their relay at all, however if the IP of the viewer is not an interal IP on the same subnet as Plex (I assume the same subnet is required) then you’ll be greeted with the Plex paywall.
You are absolutely correct that it costs money to run a relay, but the relay has nothing to directly do with the paywall.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up to date, selfhosters? 7 months ago:
DC my server is at is shutting down so I have to bring everything home. Conveniently I just got hooked up with symetric 1G fiber so that’s not too much of a problem now thankfully.
Currently exploring docker swarm as a method of using one of my external VPSs to route all external traffic though it to my hardware at home on my tailnet.
Swarm isn’t required for this but figured I’d play around with it.
