#selfhostedapps — Public Fediverse posts

How-To Geek: Why Immich succeeded where every other Google Photos alternative failed. “It seemed like Immich came out of nowhere, but suddenly all my colleagues appear to be using it. I’m not as into self-hosting as some of them, so perhaps that’s why I’m surprised, but the more I look into it, the more obvious it seems that this photo management solution is turning into a sleeper hit. The […]

XDA Developers: I turned an old laptop into a personal app server, and it’s outperforming my expectations. “I have one spare laptop with a second-generation Intel Core i3 processor and 12GB of DDR3 memory. I upgraded it a few months before RAM became a hard-to-get commodity. The CPU is modest, but the memory makes it possible to run some of my essential self-hosted apps and save money on […]

A belső privát #Pixelfed migráció is megtörtént a NAS-omról ugyanerre a szerverre, amin ez a #Mastodon #instance is működik, amit csak ketten használunk a saját privát emlékgyűjteményünkként.
(Nem mondom, hogy nagy munka volt kigyomlálni belőle a federációs hajlamot, de sajnos a Pixelfedben ez nem egy gombnyomás, szóval sokáig nagyon paranoid módon ellenőrizgettem, hogy valahol nincs-e mégis federációs adatszivárágs belőle.)

Amint támogatva lesz a natív mobilos alkalmazásban is a több felhasználós működés, vélhetően abból is lesz publikus saját verzióm is, hogy a publikumnak szánt emlékeim elérhetőek, de mégis általam kontrollálhatóak legyenek.

Sosem hátrány, ha az ember talál alkalmas vasat és hozzá megfelelő, legalábbis két-három felhasználó számára elég sávszéllel rendelkező szolgáltatót, hogy a saját kis homelabját üzemeltesse.

Jelenleg már fenn van a #JellyFin, #Nextcloud, #Pixelfed, ez és egy #privát Mastodon szerver, #Immich, #API végpont, #Pangolin és még sok-sok szolgáltatás, amihez nem hátrány, ha nem egy csóró falusi nettel üzemelteti az ember.

Gondoltam fizikai szerver hostingon is. De, azt már tényleg akkor, amikor fizetés emelés lesz. Sok pénzen meg egy a #geek hobbimra, nem kell még ennél is több egyelőre.

Sok ember nem érti, hogy ez miért szép és miért jó. De ebben sincs baj. Én például nem értem mi a jó a fociban, de pont azért, mert nem értek a focihoz. Ők nem értenek ehhez. Nem vagyunk egyformák. :)

XDA Developers: I migrated my cloud photos to my self-hosted Immich, here’s how. “Immich is an open-source photo and video backup solution that runs on your own hardware. The app supports both Android and iOS via mobile apps, a web interface that resembles Google Photos, and offers essential features such as albums, timelines, AI-powered search, and facial recognition. Once set up, it is […]

How-To Geek: Self-Hosted Google Photos Alternative Immich Just Got an Update. “Immich, the self-hosted alternative to Google Photos and other media cloud storage services, just released a big update. Immich version 1.140 has a new read-only mode, a way to add missing GPS data to many photos at once, and some other helpful improvements.”

New blog post!

This time I talk how I am blocking ads and trackers from all my devices, including mobile phones. I do that using PiHole and Tailscale, and thanks to using Tailscale the whole setup process is very simple, any device I add to my private network gets adblocking automagically.

I also have a third VPS which I use solely as a DNS server with PiHole. Does it make sense to also merge that one and have pihole on the same server that will host my blog and GTS? Opinions?

I'm looking at setting up a bunch of self hosted services to replace our (self, family, friends) dependence on corporate cloud stuff. Email (custom, since none of the Just Add Server offerings do everything I need for free), shared drive (likely nextcloud, ugh), docs (likely collabora), jitsi for video, discourse for group forums, and so on.

I'd like to make all of this SSO, to the extent that it reasonably can be.

I'm probably going to use FreeIPA as the identity source of truth, but I'm finding that there are enough new things I need to learn about centralized authentication that I'm having a hard time finding a starting point that doesn't require a bunch of other context. So I'm asking for help.

Does anyone know of a good guide to these sorts of concepts, preferably available online? I'm familiar with most of the other Linux sysadmin concepts and have plenty of hardware and bandwidth at my disposal.

If you don't have an answer but have followers who might, boosts would be appreciated.
