Selfhosted

Hello everyone! Mods here 😊

So one thing I’ve done to help me find more things to self host or do is think like a prepper. Like…what if my ISP goes out? How can I remotely control my homelab or even trigger Home Assistant events if my ISP is out? I had no idea how to solve this until about 6 months ago when I discovered Meshtastic.

I’m planning to build several WiFi connected devices for home automation: an AC remote control and air quality sensors. These devices would send data and be controlled through a local server. I’m considering two approaches: running custom software on a server PC (hardware to be determined) or integrating with Home Assistant’s protocols and purchasing their hardware. Would using Home Assistant be excessive for this use case?

Hello, I recently setup a piefed instance on a vps with yunohost. I am now having the issue that the only user I can login to is my admin user, and any other user attempted to create gives me the error login failed. I tried adding new users from the admin panel, creating them logged out of piefed, registering then approving a user. Help would be appreciated.

Hi all, does anyone know of a good alternative to games like Wordle, Connection, and Skrbbl? Self-hosting puzzle and party games would be fun I think. Preferably options that have intuitive UI (else no one will use them!)

It’s perfect! Do you guys already do this?

To be more specific, I have a friend who pointed out a couple of features that they wanted. They’re present in Immich, but I’m wondering if they’re replicable in Nextcloud since I already have that installed, and Immich is giving me trouble with installation. I’ll troubleshoot Immich later if it can’t be replicated

Hi again!

Hi TCP users,

Hey all, I’m searching for something self hosted that lets me access, read, and edit .md and spreadsheets. I don’t need functionality for presentations, word docs, or photos; really just spreadsheets and markdown, and a good mobile experience.

I’ve been getting more into self hosting lately, grabbed an optiplex 3050 for everything and I’m running Mint currently. Looking more into things though, I saw Debian come up as a more barebones distro and now I’m wondering if there is a lot of benefit to going more barebones. I’m not having any issues with my current setup but now I can’t stop thinking about it. I am newer to Linux but having to learn new things doesn’t wig me out much if there is a lot more involvement with Debian

I currently have Nextcloud running, and it’s stable, performant…no issues whatsoever. But it’s also a LOT more than what I need, and stores files in an “unusable” state if I want to look at them outside of Nextcloud. The real kicker is that the linux client wants to download the entire cloud drive, which simply doesn’t work for me.

I was hoping you guys could help me with a bit of a more out-of-the-ordinary situation. My older father, who has very little technical knowledge, is the owner of a local news outlet and is in the process of modernizing the whole website and its infrastructure. He is in talks with a local developer (just one guy) who has been maintaining everything for the past 5 years to transfer everything to a new dedicated server and make some much-needed software and design changes. He is currently running everything on an older Hetzner dedicated server, which we decided to upgrade very soon to the Hetzner AX102 (Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 128 GB DDR5 ECC, 2 × 1.92 TB NVMe SSD Datacenter Edition, and a 1 Gbit/s port with unlimited bandwidth). He has asked me to try to help him achieve a favorable outcome because he is aware that, due to his lack of technical knowledge, he might be taken advantage of or, at the very least, the developer will only do the bare minimum because no one will check his work, even though this process is not exactly cheap, at least by our country’s standards.

Hi I got home assistant, immich, jellyfin and recently tried to set up next cloud with helm. Not everything is as smooth as I expected.

Hey there!

Is simplematrixbotlib the way to go or are there other better alternatives?

Hey there,
