- Comment on Display A ‘Song Of The Day’ In MOTD From Navidrome Playlist 2 hours ago:
For security, you may want to look at vault for secrets management so you don’t have to expose plaintext secrets in your script.
Yes, you are correct. For what I’ve got surrounding it as far as security wise, I feel fairly secure, not 100%, but more prudence would be much better. Would you have any recommendations maybe in which direction I could go in?
I would have just baked an api call to navidrome in a shell script with an interpreter like js and some bash variable manipulation and called it directly from motd.
Oh well, see now you’re just showing off. LOL I may do that at some later date. I actually had a good time doing what seems like a simple thing, and I learned a thing or three, so a good time was had all around.

I deployed Ignis last week So far I am quite pleased. The biggest downside of LinuxServer’s version is that it used VNC, and I found it clumsy. Ignis gives me (most) all of the feature set of Obsidian OG, without the VNC.

Hell, I’ll find you truffles if you feed me that. LOL

The self-hosted infrastructure side was genuinely new territory though
Well then, welcome to the club. Sorry if everything is a bit messy, we’re renovating. Hang out, share your journey, and hopefully find a good home here at c/selfhosted…and indeed ‘Git Sum’.

Was this a well known ISP or a local ISP That’s weird. Did they have a policy against that? Even when I didn’t have a business account with my ISP, they didn’t seem to care,

Awesome! You just started and you’ve accomplished all of this? That’s respectable. Damn site better than when I first started. Git sum!

Unraid now supports internal boot
That always seemed like a no-brainer to me.

Cool, I figured TikTok was a long shot. Regardless, I think I’m going to give it a go.
- Comment on CookTrace 1.0.0-rc.1: Self-hosted Recipe Manager 1 day ago:
Any recipe URL — three engines: schema.org JSON-LD (fast), recipe-scrapers Python library (300+ site-specific extractors), AI Smart mode for sites that block scrapers
So, I can input a url of a recipe, say: ciaoflorentina.com/rustic-crusty-bread-recipe/ (no idea who they are, just first search result) and CookTrace imports it correctly? Or are there specific sites that can be imported. How about TikTok recipes? I know, I know…but my lady friend likes trying recipes off of TikTok. Some actually are very good despite the source. She wouldn’t bookmark them, so of course it was a hassle to go find them. I finally found an app called CookGo that would import the recipe off of TikTok in a format we’re all used to sans all the chatter.
- Comment on My grandparents have Synology NAS, what would you deploy for their use? 1 day ago:
Synology
I’ve never had a Synology so I don’t know. I have 5 really old 4 bay ReadyNAS filled with 10 TB drives, and you can’t install really anything but maybe SMB and CouchPotato which has more than likely been superseded by something far better.

Berlin? Yes, I know it well. I stabbed a woman in a bar in Berlin. I also sexually assaulted a horse in Berlin! ~ Eurotrip
Jokes aside, man that looks sharp! What’s the lore behind this? What was your motivation?

Nice. My doctor forbids me to lift weights because of an aortic aneurysm, but I do light resistance training like pushups but against the wall, , speed walking, that sort of thing. Anything in your app to accommodate that sort of excercise?

Welcome back OP! Did you just add RPi support or did I miss that last go 'round?

- Comment on Tips on speeding up remote connection to personal server? 2 days ago:
some ISPs have done sneaky shit like prioritising speedtest sites, while throttling everything else.
Yes, and I really dislike that. In my estimation, speed.cloudflare.com gives you a more comprehensive snapshot. Sites like fast.com, or you ISP’s own speed test usually concentrate on download speed and don’t actually measure under load, along with other variables.
- Comment on ArchiveBox or similar for shared archiving of research project 2 days ago:
This can be done already with archive.is but we have no control
Did a little digging this morning. I honestly can’t find a selfhosted, archive.is alternative. All the solutions I came up with are either paid for and online use only, or free, but still online use only.
- Comment on Which caddy docker builds to use? 2 days ago:
Well, what I was thinking/spitballing is that you could label your Caddy container, do updates on everything else. That leaves Caddy to administer when you can devote 15/20 minutes to rebuilding the Caddy container by itself. Not the most graceful, automated solution, but…
- Comment on Which caddy docker builds to use? 3 days ago:
I have tugtainer (something like watchtower) update caddy automatically, but I guess this set up would break that
Does tugtainer (always makes me giggle) have to ability to label containers for exclusion like watchtower does?

Absolutely. I was just going by what the OP requested. But you’re right. There are other ways to skin the cat.

Ok, so see this AI Disclosure would be helpful in the original post. You’re going to get downvoted either way, but at least it’s upfront. Don’t take it personal, it’s just that there is a faction of very vocal anti-AI users here.
My 2p.
- Comment on HoneyWire: Open-source, zero-agent cyber canaries for your homelab (Thinkst/OpenCanary alternative) 3 days ago:
That’s very interesting. Thanks.
Now for the burning question on everyone’s mind…was this vibe coded, or AI assisted in any way? I don’t outright reject AI assisted projects, but of course my concerns are always security. Also, what is the depth of your experience coding?
Thanks

Can you specificy how AI has been used on this project?
I cannot. I’m not the dev.
- Comment on Redlib is running on borrowed time — so I built a Reddit front-end that archives what it serves 3 days ago:
That seems reasonable. So, basically what I’m hearing is that AI produces a format or style of writing that some find off putting?

Alright, that makes sense.
- Comment on HoneyWire: Open-source, zero-agent cyber canaries for your homelab (Thinkst/OpenCanary alternative) 3 days ago:
Do I understand correctly that with HoneyWire you deploy ‘false assets’? I guess along the lines of a honeypot but the ability to deceive bots and other nefarious actors into thinking there are specific assets that they might want to exploit?
