Well, perhaps, but it shouldn’t be any more complicated than starting up the docker stack.
What are the specific problems? I might be able to help. You might also point an agent at the repo and ask it to stand it up, they’re pretty good at that sort of thing, just approve the commands it’s running to make sure it doesn’t shit the bed.

Were you using the Nextcloud AIO? I’ve used every method of installing NC over the last decade+ and the AIO is painless to install and maintain.

Some mailchecks would be useful. DNS and the server responses.

A wine yeast would probably manage to survive. It would be strong.
- Comment on Is there room for Windows selfhosters? 1 week ago:
Good for you. If the way Windows behaves now doesn’t drive people to Linux, they’ll never jump. They’ll just keep taking the abuse because they like it.
I don’t understand starting out on Linux in an immutable distro, but maybe that’s the oldhead in me, I’ve been on Linux since the 90s. I find adding software in those distros to be a massive pain in the ass, as well as dealing with its constraints on configurability. But if it’s working for you, fill your boots. Welcome to the dark side.

Well, if masochism is your kink…
- Comment on I read every day but rarely have my e-reader on me — so I built a self-hosted EPUB library that syncs my reading position between my Kobo and my phone 1 week ago:
What’s cool is that I can watch it build the feature in another page (actually, I have a ttyd session in the app so I can bring up a terminal on the Pi to work with Hermes or Opencode) and it will run pytests against a test instance of the service, then swap it into the production files and restart the service. I get about 2 seconds of disconnect where the cards don’t update, and then I refresh the browser and it’s live. If I don’t like it, I can tell it to revert to the earlier commit or change things. It’s magical.
Then I blew a hydraulic hose and went to bed. AI can’t help me with that.

Just can’t resist eh.
I have an old seed drill and the ECU smoked itself last fall. $6000-8000 if I can find a used one and then wait for it to show up, hopefully it works.
Pulled out Hermes on GPT5.5, spent the weekend building a DIY unit that monitors shaft and airspeeds, controls clutches, and gives me a browser page that I can watch all that stuff. I’m currently sitting in the tractor and waiting for it to build me a new feature I didn’t have on the old monitor where I can manually enter acres done.
It would have taken me months to build this and I’d have done nothing but work on that. Now I can tweak this while I work, or even access it remotely and change things if someone else is using it.
People can get on their high horse all they want, it cost me almost nothing to build something I can modify as I wish now. AI has democratized software. Hate it all you want, it works.

Don’t let the anti-AI bullshit get you down. You built something that worked for you, it isn’t the basis of national security for everyone and you wanted to share it. And you opensourced it so if I want to bolt on an IRC downloader or something, it’s easy.
I appreciates you.

Calibre doesn’t sync reading position.

If you’re new to it all, this is probably the safest approach. Getting mail isn’t hard, sending it is where the potential gotchas will getcha.
- Comment on Hotwire air speed sensor: has anyone worked with these and recognizes it? 2 weeks ago:
That’s my impression, but if all you have to do is measure the current draw, then you don’t need the third wire. So I’ve built a basic ADC circuit to do that, but it’s pretty crude.
In the original monitor, it was quite precise, and so I traced the circuitry as above off that other wire. I don’t know enough about how all that works to replicate it and I can’t seem to find much about similar sensors to learn more.

If you want to give it another try, I’ve used Mailcow for about a decade now, after running on Exchange for twenty before that. Mailcow is way easier to set up and maintain than Exchange.
Key to it all is making sure you have your DKIM, dmarc and SPF records set up correctly, as well as a PTR with your internet provider if you can manage it, though that seems optional.
Never had a problem with the big providers bouncing my mails, just a couple little outfits that couldn’t figure their filters out correctly.

I’ve seen the wire type MAF, but not this sort. Still can’t seem to find a datasheet on anything similiar.

Better than fucking Discord. I won’t even engage with a project that uses Discord as it’s support channel. Fuck that.
