Nobody ever talking about lychee ?

Yes okay it’s not GPL or written in a fancy new language (PHP is still alive xD). But it’s simple, elegant, no UX bloat, no ML or IA stuff… Just a plain simple self-hosted photo manager.

One thing I really liked about it, you can import you external photo’s with .xmp files, just one checkbox away.

The tag feature is simple but working as expected. Nothing fancy but it does best what’s it’s supposed to do !!

Call me old boomer but I really like the simplicity of lychee. It’s a bit like how reading an article from miniflux or wallabag… Simple html files without bloating your eyes or your brain…

Just my 2c, nothing to see here !

I have a self-hosted Baikal server with self-signed CA on Android 14 and it works.

However, I didn’t had to add the certificate to Davx⁵ itself. Adding a rootCA into your device and your reverse proxy handling the request should work as expected over https.

Those kind of things are difficult to troubleshoot, this could be:

• Bad rootCA certificate, missing the necessary options ?
• Wrong certificate handled by your reverse proxy ?
• Radicale doesn’t recognize your certificate extension ?
• Wrong networking configuration ?
• Bug ?
• …

We need more infos about your setup:

• Do you use a reverse proxy ?
• Had you already any success with this certificate within an other application ?
• Any logs from your Android, Davx⁵?

Yeaaah I already played a bit arround with step-ca ! Right now a make a mini-CA with openssl.

When I get more comfortable with how everything works together I will surely give step-ca another try.

Can’t argue against that.

However, I prefer local domain names accessible via Wireguard with self-signed certs. I like to understand how everything works under the hood !

Also, I’m broke AF and buying a domain name (even cheap ones) are out of my budget :(.

Except for the learning process and if you want your self-signed local domains in your lan !

https://jellyfin.homelab.domain is easier to access than IP addresses.

Wise words ! The best option would be to add AI by default but let’s people to totally disable it either via about:config or an uncheck box in the options.

Let’s be real, only tech savy people mess around with about:config nobs so this wouldn’t bother casual users an give others the possibility to disable it.

While I’m not able to give it a try right now (just woke up, need to get ready for work…) I just wanna thank you for sharing your work and contributing to the community !!

It looks neat and simple :) !!!

Yep, Debian for sure ! 3 years ago I settled for debian on an old spare laptop, It’s still cruisen with more than 21 containers !! Sure I had a few fresh installs because skill issues, lack of proper configuration, user mistakes… But it’s probably the easiest to maintain and learn as a beginner !

No idea what’s your level and how close you’re with computers and how much time you have to spare, but don’t be afraid to make mistakes and try a few things out.

If you are like me just a plain old geek who knew his way arround computers and used Hamachi back in the days, thinking you were a HAKKER… Get ready to get your ass kicked !

While self-hosting and de-googling is fun, it also has alot of negative things:

• Time consuming
• Involves ALOT of Searxing/Reading
• Debuggin (kinda…)
• Learning the basics of at least 1 scripting language (consider bash your ally)
• It’s an infinite rabbit hole that will suck you in and sometimes get to your nerves…

One of the best advice I could give you along the way is, If you’re stuck on a bug or something isn’t working as expected in your setup and It seems you couldn’t find any answer or similar issues on the web, you absolutly have to take a break, not a 5min cigarette break… A few hours bicycle/sleep break !!!

The next day you will for sure find a solution !!

Good luck, have fun and don’t forget to take time for yourself and people arround you !

Raspberry PIs run ARN

Sooo RPis are now processing proteins ? XD sorry I’m bit drunk… Thank for the short insight, was too lazy to click !!

I like linkding alot for it’s simplicity, but can’t the hell of me make a good/clean instance… It gets messy very quickly if you save some interesting links which are not directly connected to something or if you have 2 different subjects in the same instance.

Something like group tagging would make alot of sense :/

Traefik gang here 👊 !

But only because it works so easily with docker !! I remember a time where I though that you need a diploma and read/learn/understand a 10000 page dictionary to make nginx work properly.

Also hated the syntax of nginx… It can look so ugly and gibberish :/.

But I do believe Nginx is superior and more mature in many more aspects than Treafik. Still, Traefik is a breeze and is in IMO way easier to configure with docker than Nginx.

Wow perfect write-up ! Thanks for your hard work !

I hope someone will be motivated enough to translate it to Treafik ! I’m not versed enough to actually mess with the config files on such level… Let alone to understand Nginx’s syntax 🫠 but very cool for Nginx users !!!

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.

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.

Do you think webdav somehow dumps you database? No it’s just a protocol to save your files on your webserver. It’s just a middelman.

recommended to somebody an option that is the exact opposite of what you know to be true.

Yeah it’s my recommendation from my personal experience. Is that wrong? I use it nearly everyday without any data corruption. Is my personal experience not valide?

The point is, syncthing is rock solid, never had any issue being it with my zotero database or syncing files between my devices. If you’re a Nextcloud advocate or are against my personal opinion so be it :).

Agree that we disagree !

Yes I’m aware of that notice :) but it has been rock solid. Because it’s not just a copy. It syncs the folder.

This can happend if you work on both devices with Zotero at the same time (why would you do that anyway??). I already did my tests and with my server as a middelman I never had any corrupted data !

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.

One downside of debian testing is you don’t get security patches when the package is freezed under testing.

Rather use sid, but comes with it’s own share of troubles !

Edit: I’m currently on Manjaro, wich is somehow a “semi-rolling” release based on arch. It takes a few weeks before it hits the stable branch. But while I love it as daily drive, don’t know if I would recommend it as server.

Servers need to be stable, that’s why I use debian stable on my server.

Maybe give fedora server a try? Which is more uptodate than debian and maybe more stable as a server OS than a rolling release !

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 !

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.
