  1. Episode 2 de la série DEGAFAM.
    Ce matin on s'est attaqué aux Photos.

    Je rappelle que le but est de proposer des alternatives par niveau.
    Afin que la réilience numérique de soit pas réservé aux technophiles.

    1. Mode facile : Le SaaS

    Ente parait etre une très bonne alternative accessible.

    2. Mode normal : P2P

    Ça a fait débat en live, car certaines personnes trouvent que Syncthing est plus rugueux qu'un self host managé avec YunoHost.
    Perso je ne trouve pas, donc j'ai mis Syncthing en mode "normal"

    3. Mode avancé : Auto-hébergement

    -- Immich : C'est le projet le plus prometteur pour un équivalent de Google Photos ou iCloud.
    Equivalent à tel point que j'ai ressenti un petit enfermement en coulisses (beaucoup de choses gérées en base et organisation "destructrive" de l'organisation des médias sur le disque (pardon pour le terme, mais en gros Immich refait une orga à sa sauce).

    -- PhotoPrism : Plus léger et beaucoup moins de choses gérées en base (plutot en sidecar pour le coup)

    -- Nextcloud Photo : Meme si je ne suis pas un grand fan, il faut l'inclure dans la logique d'avoir une suite globale qui répond à plein de choses

    4. Mode Hardcore

    Comme la semaine dernière avec les fichiers, on a parlé de copyparty.
    Et je suis désolé, mais à part l'UI/UX, c'est un super soft...

  2. Серверы из ноутбуков, смартфонов и приставок

    Мировой кризис взвинтил цены на память и комплектующие. В такой ситуации лучшая стратегия — рационально относиться к старому железу. Например, у Meta* в новых DDR5-серверах работает старая память DDR4 через кастомную ASIC-микросхему Vistara без потери производительности. То есть ребята разработали собственный чип, карту-переходник для CXL и драйверы для ядра Linux — лишь бы использовать старую память. Если пойти ещё дальше, то в качестве серверов подходят старые смартфоны, ноутбуки, игровые приставки и даже одноразовые вейпы . Эта тема поднималась и раньше, но сейчас всплыло несколько интересных примеров.

  3. 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.**

  4. @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

  5. 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

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

    Allein das Intro-Video ist ein Schätzchen:

  7. ICYMI: Not every file sharing situation needs Nextcloud. Sometimes simple is better.

  8. 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.

  9. 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)
  10. 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

  11. @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.

  12. ...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
    #SelfHosting #OpenSource

  13. @gbryant my inner hoarder has me downloading some isos to my #copyparty server, just to be safe.

  14. Today I managed to set up a instance as a frontend for a remote sftp mount, reverse proxied with for TLS encryption, on :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 , but man are systemd.mounts, FUSE and allow_other weird beasts 🤪

  15. 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.

  16. 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!

  17. 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

  18. 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.

  19. This #xmas I'm strapped for cash, so I offered #Copyparty access to a loved one as a gift. 🎄🎄🎄
