I use Memos. It doesn’t use a flat file structure, but it does just use a SQLite database file. You can open it in any SQLite browser to read your notes, or copy it somewhere for backups.

You’re welcome!

I use https://nginxproxymanager.com/ for my reverse proxy. It doesn’t exactly integrate with ESS, but it’s not super challenging to set up proxy hosts for the domains (you can specify multiple domain names in one Proxy Host if they all point to the same host/port).

I find it nice because I can manage it via a web portal, but it’s on my home LAN. Depending on how you access your VPS this might be less convenient than using one of the other options, but I don’t have much experience with the others.

I set up Let’s Encrypt certs to automatically renew for the Matrix domains, pointed them all at the ESS host server and port, and then enabled Websockets Support. That last bit is critical, or things will simply not work correctly, especially calls. image

Also, the way to include additional config files tripped me up like crazy for a good few hours, and then how to format them tripped me up for even longer, for options they don’t have examples for (like automatically joining any new accounts to a room, for example).

If you’ve got specific options you’re trying to set, I’m happy to help if I can. The documentation is atrocious for this bit, so if you’re not a kubernetes pro (I am definitely not) it is confusing!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(XMPP Setup Guide) Discord Was Never the End Game - TonyBTW⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Alright that gives me a good idea what your working with.

I am running it along side some other projects, so I already had a reverse proxy set up, so I didn’t look closely at the other parts of the guide in that section.

If you want to be able to use this server for other hosting in the future, you may want to set up a reverse proxy. I can give some advice about that if you’re interested!

In your case, if the only thing you ever want to host on this box is Matrix, you don’t need a reverse proxy. You should be able to do the steps here and it should result in a working deployment.

It looks like that should give you a tls.yaml file, which you need to include when issuing the helm command to deploy everything. This one:
```
helm upgrade --install --namespace "ess" ess oci://ghcr.io/element-hq/ess-helm/matrix-stack -f ~/ess-config-values/hostnames.yaml &lt;optional additional values files to pass&gt; --wait
```
You need to make sure that in the <optional> section, you include:
```
-f ~/ess-config-values/tls.yaml
```
So your command would be this, if you have no additional yaml files, and if you do, simply put “-f path/to/file” at the end, right before the “–wait":
```
    helm upgrade --install --namespace "ess" ess oci://ghcr.io/element-hq/ess-helm/matrix-stack -f ~/ess-config-values/hostnames.yaml -f ~/ess-config-values/tls.yaml --wait
```

Ok, so that sounds like either a DNS issue or a reverse proxy issue. Did you configure your domain/subdomains to point to the public IP address of where you’re setting things up? Are you using the reverse proxy in the guide or do you already have a reverse proxy and you’re adding ESS domains to it? Did you configure port forwarding on your router?

I have had issues with accessing my locally hosted services via domain name while on the same network. My router doesn’t like to route internal traffic back to its own WAN port. Can you access it from something on a different network (cellular data)?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best reverse proxy with ACME to run in docker⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If you want to be able to manage it via a web page instead of config files, nginx proxy manager works well, and can be run via docker/docker compose.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$1,000 car loan payments are on the rise, stressing household budgets⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t necessarily agree that you need to be able to pay cash for a car, but within reason. If you can’t pay way more than the minimum payment, you can’t afford it. Also, insurance exists for a reason!

I’ve got a small loan (~$14.8k originally) and I’m paying it off ASAP. After my 5 payments so far, it’s down to $11k. I’m paying over double what the monthly payment is set at, with all the excess going to the principle. I expect to have it paid off in ~18 months from now, if not sooner.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(XMPP Setup Guide) Discord Was Never the End Game - TonyBTW⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It’s not quite as simple as a single docker compose, but the Element Server Suite for hosting a matrix home server (synapse) was fairly simple to get working.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Matrix hosting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
There’s an additional component, and how you deploy it depends on the method you’re deploying things. If you do the Element Server Suite (https://github.com/element-hq/ess-helm) via their instructions, it includes the voice/video component and web client. If you deploy your homeserver in a different way, you should be able to find instructions for Element Call.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Matrix hosting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Synapse is the Matrix homeserver, it handles everything except for the voice/video call features.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Matrix hosting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You will need a domain, but they can be had for a couple $ per year.

As for hosting on synology, I don’t know how difficult it is. I used the Element Server Suite on a Debian VM, and aside from some minor issues getting email and automatic room joining working it was pretty simple following their guides.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caddy reverse proxy fails with a login page⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
My best suggestion would be to try enabling web sockets and see if it changes anything. I did find a post for a similar issue that someone was having with a different reverse proxy, but I’m not sure if it’ll be helpful.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caddy reverse proxy fails with a login page⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Does accessing your router page via caddy work when you’re actually on your home network and not accessing it via wireguard? Have you tried a different web browser to rule out your LLM suggested cookie issues entirely?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts about my (potential) first server?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I got 3 Seagate Exos X16 14 TB drives for only $140 each (refurbished) at the end of 2022. I’ve got them in TrueNAS as a zfs array and they work great.

Mine were the SATA version, which isn’t currently in stock. The SAS version of my drives go for $299 now. The SATA X14 version is $350.

So prices for the same refurbished drives are more than double what they were like 3.5 years ago, so they really are expensive! I paid like $10 per TB, but they’re all $15-25 per TB now! I was looking for drives for a friend who wants to get started self hosting, and I was shocked by how much refurb drives had gone up.

This is all from https://serverpartdeals.com/ by the way, I’m assuming that’s the site you mean too.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨System requirements for a Matrix server?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’m struggling a bit. I got the server up and text chat is working great, but the documentation for getting voice calls working is pretty hard to follow.

My searching around has failed to find a more step by step guide for modifying the gigantic sample continuwuity.toml file. It’s so unwieldy, and it feels impossible to know if there are some additional settings that need to be configured that I’m simply missing due to the length of the file.

Any tips, tricks, or guides you’re willing would be appreciated!

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At Davos, NVIDIA, Microsoft CEOs deny AI bubble⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Well nVidia just sells the hardware to the AI companies, so even if the bubble pops, they won’t go bankrupt. They will stop making such obscene amounts of money, but they’re one (also the largest) of the 3 major GPU vendors. Personal computing still would buy from them, as would non-AI datacenters. He wants to keep the bubble going for as long as possible to boost their profits for as long as he can, but as long as people need graphical rendering and parallel compute power, I don’t think nVidia is going anywhere.

Think of them as the guy selling prospectors their tools. They hype everything up and jack up their prices for picks and shovels. When the prospectors don’t find any gold to make their investment back, the shovel guy just goes back to selling shovels at normal rates and prices. Sure, he’s not making as much profit, but he’s still solidly in business.

If you do have automation, that’s another thing you have to set up and manage.

Hosting a CA is a whole additional service to set up, as is enabling trust for said CA on every server you’re running.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Correct, because there is no argument to be had. Intentionally refusing to use someone’s pronouns is unacceptable, every time, with 0 exceptions. If there’s a dire need to be explicitly clear you’re talking about a single person, you could just use their name in that instance.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Probably because singular “they” predates singular “you” grammatically. Should we go back to using thou and thee instead of the singular you as well?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Singular they is over 600 years old by the way:
https://www.oed.com/discover/a-brief-history-of-singular-they/?tl=true

As a trans person, my gender dysphoria is not something caused entirely by social gender roles. Medical transition has greatly alleviated the majority of it. Anecdotally, within the first week of hormone therapy, my dysphoria improved dramatically while only being out of the closet to 2 people outside of my therapist and the medical professionals who prescribed my hormones. It has continued to improve, although I’m still waiting for the surgery that will resolve the remaining things that hormones can’t fix.

Also, there are studies around brain structure differences between men and women, and transgender people tended to have brain structures in line with their gender, not their assigned sex at birth:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_gender_incongruence#Brain_structure

Perhaps you should believe people when they tell you who they are, and get past your discomfort drawing arbitrary lines in grammar regarding pronouns, when singular they predates the fall of the Byzantine Empire by 75 years.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking to get my first 3d printer, any suggestions?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
If you want to tinker with it (probably quite a bit until you get it nicely tuned), the Ender 3 pro for $75 is a good deal. I've got one, and with some minor upgrades (raspberry pi running Klipper+Mainsail and a bed leveling sensor) it's been great. I saw you mentioned using Linux and tinkering with that, so you'd probably be able to get things working well.

After you've got a bit of experience, I definitely recommend connecting it to a Pi or other computer to run some kind of web interface for printing, it's much nicer than messing with an SD card every time. Klipper (firmware alternative!) isn't too hard to set up (I'm using Mainsail as the UI) and it's been great. Before that I had Octoprint with the stock firmware which was super easy to set up but more limited.

If you want to just plug it in and have it work perfectly right away, I've heard Bambu labs is best for that, but they're much more walled garden than other brands.
