KISS ! That’s the way I’m doing it. Although it kinda gets more difficult to keep track of every docker image update after you have a dozen containers.
Thinking of something that could keep track and give me a nice notification about the changes and give a link to the github page before updating the container.
Nextcloud and syncthing a 2 different things. While synching keeps your files synchronized between your devices, nextcloud is a cloud platforme which gives you access to your files on your server. The difference is actually very important even though a lot would argue that they are the same.
It really depends what type of technology you want/need. I would recommended syncthing for it’s simplicity and robustness. It only does one thing but it does it very well !!
To give you an example, I have a syncthing sever which is a middleman for my Zotero database. Laptop <-> Server (syncthing) <-> desktop. It’s very important to keep it in sync for the integrity of the zotero database !
This kind of workflow wouldn’t work with nextcloud or rather will most of the time corrupt my database.
Nextcloud works as a simple cloud platforme wich is also great (with it’s up and downs) but works only as a cloud platforme to keep your files on your server.
Interesting ! Didn’t knew you could add sysctl commands as Postup/Postdown. !!
Thank you :) !!
Thanks for your insight ! Even though I didn’t really get everything, but It seems there is a specific use case !
Maybe overtime with more experience I will get there and have a better understanding of what you meant with contextual history.
Yeah how comes that every planet is flat and round but only earth is flat and square !
Some strange stuff goin on in our solar system 🤔
I think this has nothing to do with who is listed first/last !
As you can see in this docker-compose, they are on 2 different web-ui ports, avoiding conflicts !
Same here 👋 still i’m a bit sad I had to move on from VLC… It was always one of the first software I would install on my setup… But that was mostly on windows.
On linux/macos, MVP seems to work way better. I’m very thankfull for all these years of service, but everything has an end and like ICQ ended recently, VLC will probably die off in a few years…
Except if they make a come back? Who knows !
That’s a nice workflow :) except for KOReader, I do the same combo Miniflux + wallabage + linkding.
Wallabag + miniflux for articles to read and Linkding for important stuff (mostly github stuff).
What’s cool about that workflow it can be automatically send through each other with their API.
Hey :) would you kindly share your tagging methodology? It’s the second time I nuke my linkding docker istance, because everytime it gets so messy that I lose sight of my bookmarks ://
Thank you 👐
Linkding is great ! I love it ! With the new local copy as html file thats a banger !!
Except one thing I hate about it… It can get really messy quickly If you don’t overthink your tags… This can get time consuming in the long run !
Genuine question, I see alot of people concerned by losing their shell history, any specific reason why?
I mean I keep mine to default and auto-delete every shell history after logout :/ And I never seemed bothered, I never go up more than 10 lines anyway… Whats the point/use case of keeping a whole shell history over time?
Not OP, but thanks for the write up !
Regarding macvlan’s with docker, I tried to use them in the past and while I liked the idea of having every container on it’s own mac /ip address in the home network space, I couldn’t get the host to communicate directly with them.
Everyone on the LAN could talk to my containers, except the host itself. IIRC there was/is some tricky part where you have to change the default route and create new iptables to make it work that way, but It seemed rather hacky and not secure at all.
Now that I’m a bit more experienced with docker and all, do you know if this is possible or still one of the downside of macvlan’s?
Edit: reference. I see he updated his post in 2023, maybe worth a new shot !!
Opening ports on your router is never safe ! There’re alot of bots trying to bruteforce opening ports on the web (specially ssh port 22)
With SSH I would disable the password authentication a only used key based authentication. Also disable root access. (Don’t know how it works with forgero though)
I would recommend something like wireguard, you still need to open a port on your router, but as long as they don’t have your private key, they can’t bruteforce it. (You can even share the wireguard tunnel with your friend :))
Also use a reverse proxy with your docker containers.
There are a lot of things you could do to secure everything, but If you relatively new to selfhosting, there’s a steep learning curve and a lot of time needed to properly secure everthing up. You could be safe by doing nothing for a few months but as soon as someone got into your system, you’re fucked !
But don’t discourage yourself, selfhosting is fun !
Never got into TF2 was more a day of defeat guy (what a banger !!). But still doing my part !
Heyy thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with us !!!
Very interesting and the write up is easy to follow up ! That’s the kind of cool blogpost we will be missing when the internet will be dead brained and flooded with AI shit…
Will you integrate an RSS feed to your blogposts? So I could get your feeds directly into my RSS feeder? 😁
Hummm, Don’t get me wrong I like the command line when I work on my GUI-less server, but a video player to run through the command line on a daily drive desktop with GUI and everything?
This seems a bit overkill and useless no? I mean when I’m on my desktop I just want to click on my media file and launch it right away.
Maybe I’m not the target audience and it’s focus is more entitled to people working in the video industry and needs more granular tweaking with specific media files? Scripts?
Or Am I missing something here?
The proxy is also susceptible to application-level threats that the VPN is not.
You sure about that? I mean, to use a VPN your need some kind of application that could potentially be vulnerable or have some zero day exploits.
In contrary, a proxy is as simple as to forward your traffic to another computer through a SSH tunnel which doesn’t specially need some kind of application but only relies on lower level package.
Maybe I misunderstood your comment but If I’m wrong I’m agear to learn something new.
Also goes in reverse. Here are probably a lot of good IT specialist who wouldn’t pass any comptia test. Not because they are bad IT guys or don’t have the necessary skill/knowledge…
No… Just because CompTIA tests are worded in such a way that you actually doubt that every answer could actually be right and fit the question…
They are playing on words and even if you’re the best IT guy in the world but lack the reading skills and English collocation of a perfect native Shakespeare writer, you’re going to fail ^^.
But that’s on purpose 🤑🤑🤑.
You still need someone else’s computer. Making a cloudflare proxie or other cloud platform is useless and not secure, specially if you’re torrenting or trying to hide your IP.
I’m pratically sure they even block the torrent protocol and do not allow port forwarding on most cloud VPS.
Yeah proxies are great, but only if you have somewhere to route your traffic.
Thanks :)) I did tried it out a few month ago. It works as expected, but I was looking for something with a nice webUI wich pulls the whole changelog before updating a container.
An AIO web interface that give all the changes and expected bugs or issues. I know there isn’t something like that… That’s why I just look out for github notifications with an RSS feed and read through all the changes/issues before doing any updates.
