  I use nforwardauth . It is simple, but only supports username/password

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Haptic: A new local-first, privacy-focused and open-source home for your markdown notes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  yes, regular markdown notes has been a good decision 😅

  In the beginning, the query results were stored in the markdown files, which could be useful if reading them in another app. But now I just get the query code. I think there were reasons

  I’m glad to hear things have cooled down. Does it take much effort to understand and use the templating stuff? I just remember templates got pushed to a different view, and I needed some header tags to get it working

  So you like spaces or not? I never got that far with silverbullet. And I haven’t used Trillium. I loved evernote when it came out. But it made me aware of the value of maintaining my own data.

  Now I try to have data in a directory structure and not in databases

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Haptic: A new local-first, privacy-focused and open-source home for your markdown notes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not thinking of the most recent versions.

  The query system was updated, around version 0.6 if i remember correctly. I don’t think the updates were bad, but some things broke and I am too old for “bleeding edge”. The template system was also updated at some point

  I don’t have a great solution. I use syncthing to keep notes local on all devices and MarkText on desktop and Zettel Notes on android.

  what i really liked about silverbullet was that it had offline support. but there were made some changes there as well along the way, and for me it became less stable after it became optional. But I haven’t actively used it for some time. I still got an instance running tho

  How do you like the newer versions? I liked it in the beginning, but then there were breaking changes and new concepts and it started to feel a bit too complicated. So I am taking a break until things cool down

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In your opinion what's the best way to do and restore full backups of a Linux server?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use proxmox and proxmox backup server (in a vm). I reinstall them both, and re-add lxc and vm and their drives. har already worked once.

  important files are additionaly synced to laptop and phone using syncthing.

  proxmox backups (which are encrypted) are rcloned to backblaze for offsite backup

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hostee storage for Gmail⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  dovecot provides a proper shared imap server. But not all email clients allow moving emails between accounts (gmail and local email server), but Thunderbird does.

  I can access the emails from any client

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hostee storage for Gmail⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure if it fits you, but personally I have set up a self hosted dovecot instance where i have moved old gmail emails to, using thunderbird as the client.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the ideal self hosted RSS setup?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use miniflux. To read the feed I use Flux News on android. I don’t read the whole feed in the reader, but open the link

  I think miniflux supports downloading the source, but I had to do it manually each time when I tried

  miniflux.app

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Backblaze a reliable provider?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have used them since januar 2019, and I don’t have any complaints. I have only needed to restore backups once - it worked as well as could be expected.

  Any issues with backups have always been on my side

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker email server to host mail archive⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use dovecot for this. And thunderbird to actually move/archive the emails. I use caddy for many of my services, so I have pointed dovecot to caddys certificates (for “my.domain”), since it manages certificates through let’s encrypt. I had a plan to install postfix for sending internal emails from my self-hosted services, but it seemed like a bit of configuration and I got busy with other stuff

  I made an excerpt from my docker-compose.yml, but you probably have to figure out some things on your own

  
  version: '3.4'
  
  services:
    dovecot:
      image: dovecot/dovecot:2.3.20
      restart: unless-stopped
      volumes:
        - ./dovecot/:/etc/dovecot
        - /mnt/storage/dovecot/mail:/srv/mail
        - ./caddy/data/caddy/certificates/acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org-directory/wildcard_.my.domain/wildcard_.my.domain.crt:/etc/ssl/cert.crt
        - ./caddy/data/caddy/certificates/acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org-directory/wildcard_.my.domain/wildcard_.my.domain.key:/etc/ssl/key.key
      ports:
        - 993:993

  dovecot.conf

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Calendar and To Do solution do you recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My email calendars I leave alone, but I use caldav for personal calendar and tasks.

  I use radicale as caldav server, and tasks.org on android and thunderbird on computer. Tasks.org works very well

  I also use silverbullet for more complex todo lists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which RSS aggregator do you use? I cannot seem to find one that works for me.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use miniflux, and flux news app on android. It looks nice and works well (i posted about it some time ago lemmy.world/post/9574514 )

  I am not missing any features, but I am not doing anything fancy. I have grouped the rss feeds, if that counts as filtering

  I have used it for a long time now, and I don’t have an urge to try and find something better, like I do for some other self hosted stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In search of software for managing like a helpdesk but in a lite format⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I might miss your target, but have you considered tasks.org android app + caldav?

  I have been using silverbullet the last few months, but I struggle keeping up with its updates (too bleeding edge at the moment). I has a lot of nice features like all markdown, queries and templates.

  Now I am back to tasks.org app + radicale self-hosted caldav server. For tasks it flows so well on android. for windows you need to use something that supports caldav, like thunderbird.

  When silverbullet matures and if it is still fast and offline, I might go back. It has a lot of nice stuff going on. I still use for stuff like recipes and travel lists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Migrate from nextcloud photo backups to immich?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used it for a few years, but it broke a few times, and I had to search online and find an occ command to fix it. It also could break if you didn’t upgrade regularly and skipped versions. Or you upgraded too quickly before a bug was hotfixed.

  Maybe it is better now, but I looked into alternatives and found syncthing to be awesome (after I switched from iphone to android). I use samba share for cold storage. Syncthing can take a lot of space since it syncs all the files to all units

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My take on selfhosted photo management⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I ended up with syncthing + the default gallery app on my samsung galaxy phone. It works well for me.

  But I don’t have a crazy amount of images, the phone storage needs to be large enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SilverBullet: the self-hosted notes app for people with a hacker mindset⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried this, but couldn’t find a better editor as android app. The closest I got was Zettel notes. But silverbullet worked better

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SilverBullet: the self-hosted notes app for people with a hacker mindset⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I have used it for many months. It has been the best solution for my use case for a while. Which is tasks, shopping, planning (trips, …), recipes, and a simple knowledgebase. It was the offline support that set it apart from some other solutions

  I have the files in a syncthing folder, so I can access the files without running silverbullet

  My biggest problem is keeping up with all the changes. Zef made some youtube videos that are helpful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Webmail client with decent search and large mailbox support?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I installed k-9 mail / Thunderbird on my android phone and set it to sync all emails, so I have local copy on my phone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fighting with immich⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I also have internal only traffic, but I still use let’s encrypt. I self signed for a couple of years, but switching to proper certificates made things much simpler and better. Especially on mobile. I use a combination of my own domain and caddy. and duckdns, since my domain registrar does not have an api caddy can use, but I can point my domain to my duckdns domain and it works 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any good RSS Feed service for self-hosting?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I too use miniflux and I like it

  I made a post some weeks ago lemmy.world/post/9574514

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I build a NAS out of a desktop? [Request]⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what I do, using proxmox.

  I do something similar to youtu.be/Hu3t8pcq8O0 for the NAS bit. Then I have a VM with docker containers for different services

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite note-taking application?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use silverbullet, it is great for tasks and notes! silverbullet.md - the manual itself uses it, so it is both a manual and a demo page

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Miniflux + News App⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trying it out now 🙂 I didn’t know about this one, thanks!

  I miss the swipe to mark as read. Otherwise it looks nice, I’ll try it for a few days!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point on hosting RSS reader's?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For me, it makes the clients disposable. I can reinstall the laptop, desktop, phone and be up and running in no time, without doing backups and preparation. Also it is easy to jump between clients.

  The server needs to be backed up though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Miniflux + News App⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It works OK from the web page, but scrolling to the next item was a bit wonky for me. Using the swipe mode mis-fired when I was horisontally scrolling code. And double tapping didn’t always work.

  The UX feels smoother in News. You also get thumbnail images. And you can open the link to the source directly, which I prefer for some of my feeds. For me, the experience is smoother.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud vs Syncthing for PKM notes?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have used both, and syncthing is the most stable in my opinion. But you will get sync conflicts/ duplicates if you work on the same file

  For working on markdown files you should additionally look into silverbullet.md , it’s great 🙂. It has offline mode. But it will also generate duplicates if you edit the same file offline

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After I’m Gone Backup Solution⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, sorry - I meant the storage space on mobile phone. or a laptop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After I’m Gone Backup Solution⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have a solution really, but I’m also thinking along your lines.

  For files I share with my girlfriend, I have set up syncthing. So my server and our phones have a copy of the files, I like this solution. But it wouldn’t work for large amounts of data.

  For my server stuff, it is backed up encrypted on backblaze. so I guess that is lost. Most files are also rsynced onto a usb drive connected to a raspberry pi (not encrypted). So that should be accessible, except for a linux’y filesystem (probably ext4) that doesn’t work on windows

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typehere Docker image now on Dockerhub⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. It is under rapid development I replaced memos + markdown file editing with silverbullet some months back and I use it more and more. It has optional offline support
