I joined a Signal group called "Sovereign Tech", where me and my fellow geeks geek out and brainstorm various ways to have #DataSovereignty, independent of Big Tech. We're a bunch of longtime, crusty, jaded #Linux hardcores, pretty much.
I made a video for them showing my own "Sovereign Stack". It's a bunch of #RaspberryPi s, #OpenSource software, #Heimdall, #Wireguard, and lots of "split DNS" . I show off some #SelfHosting web services like #CalibreWeb , #InvoiceNinja, #Flarum, #CopyParty and #Immich , with remote access through Wireguard possible. **If you aren't a geek, you probably won't enjoy this video.**

@bryan Although your trick is cool, and I respect the use of the piping between commands, **the #infosec community advises against the scp command now**.
BTW: you could have also used FTP, which was SSL encrypted (transparently creates a tar-like stream of data in the same way). It's also maximally fast across the available bandwidth (will beat SMB, SFTP, etc, especially on many small files being transferred).
#Copyparty has such an FTP-over-SSL feature, just saying. #OpenSource

Ridiculous design choice in #Icecubes for the #iPad : you can't download a vid until you press a a small i with a circle around it, for more information, presumably. The download button is buried three taps deep. It's not a first class button, but is rather a third class button: 1) i with a circle, 2) Upload icon, 3) upload to where? "Save Video", with a down arrow. That's the download button you were wanting.
Totally unergonomic. i -> Upload -> Download.
About as easy as bestowing 30 lives on yourself when playing Contra on the original Nintendo. I truly save these videos (and photos) later on in bulk to #Copyparty, exfiltrating them from the "Walled Garden" of the "Photos" app - where the Videos are confusingly also stored.
It's so simple that it's complicated. All this to try to hide the existence of a logical and usable filesystem

@kuketzblog Und wer auf so einen Moloch verzichten möchte und lieber Erledige-eine-Sache-aber-erledige-sie-gut mag, dem kann ich #Copyparty empfehlen.

Sometimes you just need a simple file server. Copyparty runs in Docker with two files and takes about 5 minutes to set up. No fluff, just files. #selfhosting #homelab #copyparty

@semitones
Tried looking back through the hashtags
#homelab #selfhosted #selfhosting #TinyWeb ?Was the sharing service in question #nextcloud or #syncthing by chance? #copyparty ?

Finally managed to make a quadlet of #copyparty (took a little too long because I accidentally mismatched the volume names).
The thing
- is absurdly fast
- has a UI that's all over the place
- uses abbreviations everywhere (gah)
- is left aligned rather than centered (my neck)
- has no x margins (ugh)

At a big box store they had a rack of 2TB WD MyBooks on clearance. Someone had accidentally included a few 8TB ones, all marked with the same price. I snapped one up and it's now happily plugged into my little BSD machine. I've been playing around with Copy Party and I like it. I'd like to see what else is available for self hosted cloud apps but search is so polluted these days, all I get is ads for cloud providers and guides on setting up SMB. Any suggestions? #BSD #copyparty #selfhost

@wobintosh Kennst du schon #copyparty ? Einfach als #docker #container auf einer 24x7 laufenden Mini-VM bei z.B. Hetzner starten und ab geht die Party! 😁 Oder etwas aufwändiger, aber flexibler mit #Nextcloud - auch dafür findest du auf GitHub eine Docker-Lösung.

...I got copyparty working behind a proper reverse proxy. So a nice public domain name with #ssl, and it then the reverse proxy (on a cloud VPS) re-directs the https traffic into my lab where #copyparty is running on a #RaspberryPi 4

Today I managed to set up a #copyparty instance as a frontend for a remote sftp mount, reverse proxied with #nginx for TLS encryption, on :nixos: #NixOS. Oh boy was that a wild ride. 😮💨
Copyparty itself is funny and you need a bit to understand its config style. It needs a whole lot of proxy config to make it work well (see its repo). The wildest part was actually mounting that dang sftp share. Ended up using #rclone, but man are systemd.mounts, FUSE and allow_other weird beasts 🤪

Immich got really good just in the last little while. Some random geek notes/thoughts, after several hours tinkering (non-geeks, stop reading here):
As to sizing: a Pi 5 with 4GB (better yet, 8 to be safe) of RAM - and the docker container gets its own fast SSD, for storage - could do it. Forget using a Pi 4.
The Good News:
- I'm playing with Immich on a Raspberry Pi 5 in docker, really liking it. It took a long time to import my photos - several hours to do 10,000 photos.
- It's very nice to access from #Android or iPadOS, as there are Immich apps for both.
- It does a local AI facial recognition. I'm giving names to the faces - what a trip down memory lane! That's a rather astounding feature for such an open source app: it's awesome to see pictures which involved certain individuals, all grouped. There's been a lot of controversy around facial scanning by apps lately (the data being silently sent back to the "mothership"). With Immich, the data stays local - doesn't go back to any mothership. No geek contests or says otherwise (and I would hear about it).
- The Rasberry Pi 5 on the backend can keep up nicely - to me being the one user pretty much. Its little fan whirs away, while I do the editing, etc in the app, silently in the other room on the iPad.
- can publish web-accessible Albums online easily. Great for sharing albums to family and friends privately; they're password protected.
- I set up a reverse proxy on a VPS for remote access.
The Bad news:
- had to strip out the videos, before an import. The videos just brutally crushed that Pi to the floor.
- tried uploading all ~300 recent photos from my iPad to Immich. About 100 failed. Many are Jpgs, should have no problem. It does have a protection against duplicates - calculates hashes. Some uploads certainly failed (from the Immich #iPadOS app), which shouldn't have! Just saying: copyparty uploads with ~100% wire speed and *does not fail*. But it doesn't have the photo management goodness which Immich has. Copyparty will do a basic slideshow of a folder of photos. Although it annoys me to say this, I think I'll have to use Copyparty to exfil the photos out of the #iPad's (walled-garden) "Photo Library", then as a second, regrettable hop, use immich-cli (the go-based docker container) to do an import to Immich. I just did a test, comparing copyparty's "up2k" uploader (just used from a web browser like Safari of Firefox), and the Immich app in iPad OS, and there's no comparison. Copyparty absolutely rips Immich away, totally destroying it for bulk upload. I just uploaded over wifi at a steady, sustained 80MB/sec with Copyparty.

True story: my iPad (latest ver 26) - which regularly astounds me as to its ineptitude - would only save 2 of the 4 Superb #Owls recently posted this weekend on #Mastodon. It refused silently, to save the latter two in **exactly the same way** as the first two. I tried twice to save them. It gave no error message, but the owls weren't saved! So I shared the owls directly from #IceCubes into #Deltachat. Yes, that was allowed. So then all 4 could be shared onwards to a friend in #Signal.
My #iPad's disk is far from full, as I save very little into the walled garden. It's crazy, I tell you.
Note: I exfil everything - in bulk - periodically into #Copyparty, BTW.
The first two owls are OK on the iPad, but not the second two!

Thay thế SMB/NFS để chia sẻ tập tin trên Linux: Filebrowser, Quantum và Copyparty là các lựa chọn hiệu quả, dễ thiết lập và truy cập từ xa tốt. Phù hợp cho tự lưu trữ (self-hosted), hoạt động mượt hơn so với SMB (chậm) và NFS (phức tạp). Đồng bộ hóa bằng Syncthing vẫn được giữ. #FileSharing #Linux #SelfHosting #FileBrowser #Copyparty #ChiaSẻTậpTin #Linux #TựLưuTrữ #MạngNộiBộ

Como no soy capaz de estar un solo día sin torturar mi pobre VPS...
He montado un copyparty : )Se trata de un servidor de intercambio de archivos. Se comparte una carpeta y están todos los permisos abiertos para subir o descargar lo que os apetezca.
Podéis subir música, películas, libros, lo que se os antoje, o escribir mensajes para los demás.
