- Comment on Luck is not a Disaster Recovery Plan 1 week ago:
Appreciate hearing about your experience 👍 I dont use any of those tools, but self host a complex setup, and is always good to hear how people operate and resolve issues, even if it is luck that saves the day 👍
- Comment on Is it possible to have a usable domain without a VPS or a static IP address? 1 week ago:
I’ve had a domain with a dynamic up for over a year with no problems. I have a simple script that runs every 30mins to check if my IP has changed, then updates the DNS records when required.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Cool. I’ll add the android source code to the repo when I get chance 👍
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s entirely online only. And no e2ee, just relies on web server encryption like SSL.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
The android, windows and Linux app use propriety parts, the android app is a web view app built in android studio, the Linux and windows apps are just electron apps. I have all the source code I used to build them on my pc, but I didn’t create a repo for them. go-notes is fully open source with the backend in go, the clients are just extremely basic frontends.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I built a fully open source multi-user live collaboration notes app, self host with docker, serve at root or a subdomain, has an android, windows and Linux client app, plus the usual web UI.
- Comment on What is Radicale and how do I use it? 2 weeks ago:
You don’t need a dashboard. Think of it as just a database. And then other apps interact with it. On my android phone I have davx5 which does all the syncing of things like calendar and contacts. Setting up and syncing with davx5 is the easy bit. The hard bit is getting authentication working and creating the databases. Mine works perfectly but I couldn’t tell you how I set it up. If I want to add another calendar or contacts list to it Id have to go and figure it all out again.
- Comment on What is Radicale and how do I use it? 3 weeks ago:
Exactly for what you want it for. I’ve been using it about 3 months. Contacts and calender. It’s a real pain to set up. Not straight forward. I didn’t a lot of time with ai as could not get my head round the guide.
- Comment on Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices? 3 weeks ago:
no, i use archlinux on my main desktop as i use it daily and is my main workhorse. i have a laptop that rarely gets used at that has debian on. then i have a mini pc server with debian and a raspberry pi 4 with debian based raspberry pi os.
- Comment on Sftp client gor android? 3 weeks ago:
Owl files if you want a nice simple gui, but cli like termux or terminus are better for mass file transfer
- Comment on How bad of an idea is it to use computing HDDs in a DIY NAS? 4 weeks ago:
Backups and backups and backups, and then and only then can you trust your data is safe. I run all consumer disks, have 2x2tb ssd’s in a raid1 for user facing storage which are always powered up and mounted. I only have 2 users in total, so relatively light load. Then I have 2x8tb hdd’s which only power on once a day at most, for as long as it takes rsync to complete it’s nightly backups, then they dismount and power off. Been running this for 18 months and not had any issues. My hdd’s will last years with their current load and usage, with only probably a few hundred mb written every night. But if your data is managed and backed up sensibly, and you use raid effectively, cheap discs aren’t a worry.
- Comment on I wrote a blog post on selfhostesd software to be more organzed 5 weeks ago:
There for this. I too am heavily de-googleing, and will be looking into fmt more 👍
- Comment on go-notes - a self hosted multi user live collaboration notes app 1 month ago:
No, nothing is really saved locally, is just caches the on display item only. So only the currently viewed note is visible. Nothing else.
Essentially currently the app only really has any use when online, and very basic viewing ability when offline. I am planning to make the android app work offline, but that is a long term plan and not immediate.
- Comment on go-notes - a self hosted multi user live collaboration notes app 1 month ago:
Nah, docmost is way more complex and advanced. Mine doesn’t offer half what docmost does. Mine is a very simple and lightweight notes app with multi user live collaboration and some nice little customisation options.
Mine has an android, windows and Linux client. I couldn’t see those mentioned on docmost?
- Comment on go-notes - a self hosted multi user live collaboration notes app 1 month ago:
It doesn’t. It relies on you being online to edit or create notes. Offline you can only view the currently open note.

- Comment on Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? 1 month ago:
i think that would be called remote hosting or cloud hosting? self-hosting is where you host the services your self, without third party hardware or systems.
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 month ago:
exactly this! notes in the config files is all the documentation i need. and scripting and automating is so important to a self running and self healing server.
- Comment on What would be the best way to host a SimpleX smp and xftp server? 1 month ago:
It depends what your long term goals are. If it’s just to run those services as simply as possible, then just run them in docker on windows. If you want to learn Linux, then setup you other hardware and install a server distro. Ubuntu is fine, but I use Debian.
Then once you get used to Linux, one day you could migrate your Plex server to Linux and remove windows from your main server.
- Comment on What's the laziest way to create a website that looks really nice and is maintainable? 1 month ago:
It depends what you mean by nice and how complex it is? I built my own site which is basically my front end access to all the services I host. I wrote it extremely basically in html and got just the very basic context of what I wanted setup. Then I put the whole thing into Claude, and asked it to tidy it up. Then I started a new Claude session and put the whole thing in again and asked it to modernise it. Then did the same again but asked it to improve it. After about 5 or 6 run thoughts, I was happy with it. But it only has 2 pages, the first main page for anybody, and the 2nd admin page password protected just for me.
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 month ago:
🤮 I hate gui config! Way too much hassle. Give me cli and a config file anyday! I love being able to just ssh into my server anytime from anywhere and fix, modify or install and setup something.
The key to not being overwhelmed is manageable deployment. Only setup one service at a time, get it working, safe and reliable before switching to actually using full time, then once certain it’s solid, implement the next tool or deployment.
My servers have almost no breakages or issues. They run 24/7/365 and are solid and reliable. Only time anything breaks is either an update or new service deployment, but they are just user error by me and not the servers fault.
- Comment on How many containers are you all running? 1 month ago:
I have currently got 23 on my n97 mini pc and 3 on my raspberry pi 4, making 26 in total.
I have no issues managing these. I use docker compose for everything and have about 10 compose.yml files for the 23 containers.
