  What are you using to download them as Markdown?

  I think this is what you should look into. Are the services in Heimdall listed with the local IP or host names? Or are they referenced with the tailscale IP?

  Three things I want to add here:

  • On tailscale I can only access my home lab’s root page with the services being accessible with something like domain.tld/service.
  • service.domain.tld is not supported by tailscale. (See github issue)
  • The local domain is different to the tailscale domain. If you want to use them with a reverse proxy (nginx, caddy) you need to have rules configured for your tailscale magic DNS domain too.

  I hope this helps.

  External Libraries

  External libraries tracks assets stored outside of immich, i.e. in the file system. Immich will only read data from the files, and will not modify them in any way. Therefore, the delete button is disabled for external assets. When the external library is scanned, immich will read the metadata from the file and create an asset in the library for each image or video file. These items will then be shown in the main timeline, and they will look and behave like any other asset, including viewing on the map, adding to albums, etc.

  Yeah, I don‘t know if they have finally anounced it officially, but they mentioned it in their blog post in March. I‘ve installed it, and it works quite well, for my usecase.

  It now also comes with Gitea Actions and the Act Runner - in case this feature is relevant to you.

  I tried docker and stopped shortly after, because it was adding a layer of complexity I was not prepared for at the beginning. So I started with services I could run on bare metal with an OS like Ubuntu. For this a basic website for clients could be a good starter because it might only need a reverse proxy with php and a database. BUT this already opens questions around how secure is your server, which would be the first topic I would focus on, especially when hosting stuff for clients. Because if something happens to their data, you‘re responsible for it.

  If it‘s just a static page like a portfolio, simple things like restricting access with firewalls ACLs and other basic server configurations might already be enough.

  For hosting email, this topic still hasn‘t come to a mence for me, because it sounds like a lot of time and effort that goes into maintenance so I keep looking for hosted services with a good privacy approach.

  What resources are you thinking of (there are many). Again, the best way of approaching it is take something with little dependencies and components that are well documented and easy to learn, so you can focus on how to monitor the host, and make sure you can administrate it fast and efficiently.

  Later on you can add more complex services and learn about the new components.

  Well, in terms of learning, I‘m still learning, and I‘m already a few years in. In terms of time in front of a screen, it depends on how much automation you throw at your services and builds. It will always come back to questions like: what if an update changes the way the software works? What if something breaks, like a config or a dependency overwrites another. How good do you know the parts of the services for troubleshooting? Do you have a backup? How fast can you rebuild your systems? If you have answers to these questions, you can feel confident in hosting services for yourself and others. If not, you can try but will run into these moments at some point, where you need to fix something fast. And that‘s the moment where you spent your time in front of a screen.

  I think yunohost is great to get your feet wet with selfhosting. But as soon as your setup is a little bit more complex or not following the cookiecutter templates, you will end up building systems from scratch.

  And to be fair, most of the software for selfhosting comes with good documentation. Yes, there is a learning curve, but if you are serious about it, you will stick to it until you find the piece of software working.
