I did an inplace upgrade of gitea to forgejo. No issues.

I’ve been self hosting this for 2 or 3 years now.

There has been zero maintenance other than the occasional update button

I use it for my docker compose files that portainer pulls from with the click of the button to update my containers when needed.

I edit the files in VS code with the git plugin and it works without issue

I currently use immich with 40k+ files.

I think what OP meant by ‘early development’ is the updates with break Changes.

Ive been using immich in docker self hosted for 1.5 years.

I use authentik for user management and single sign on.

The breaking changes have only ever been minor changes I’ve had to make to my docker compose file, its always come back with no issues after the well described changes in the release notes and several of the changes I didn’t even have to do because it did not apply to me.

This is petty standard stuff for anyone used to self hosting but if that sounds like its not for you then check out the roadmap. The stable version is expected next year sometime. Wait for that before giving it a try.

Personally I like the fast development, I find myself likely and using at least 1 new feature ever major update. I think this will easily become the best photo manager in 1 to 2 years and it will not longer be much of a competition

Btrfs only has issues with raid 5. Works well for raid 1 and 0. No reason to change if it works for you

Never done it myself but I think this example goes over the mounting

FWIW the file system it uses ‘decomposedfs’ can be read by other applications like rclone if needed.

Also ocis is working on a ‘normal’ file system with a few tradeoffs:

Also this channel has many new videos with freecad 1.0. Especially for woodworking

Freecad in a VM with a remote viewer like guacamole?

You don’t have the knowledge or experience to do this for a business. This is different than a personal cloud. You will be blamed when things don’t work.

Don’t touch this with a 10ft pole.

If you want to help, find commercial services that offer this and suggest those.

Vaultwarden itself is actually one of the easiest docker apps to deploy…if you already have the foundation of your home lab setup correctly.

The foundation has a steep learning curve.

Domain name, dynamic DNS update, port forwarding, reverse proxy. Not easy to get all this working perfectly but once it does you can use the same foundation to install any app. If you already had the foundation working, additional apps take only a few minutes.

Want ebooks? Calibre takes 10 mins. Want link archiving? Linkwarden takes 10 mins

And on and on

The foundation of your server makes a huge difference. Well worth getting it right at the start and then building on it.

I use this setup: https://youtu.be/liV3c9m_OX8

Local only websites that use https (Vaultwarden) and then external websites that also use https (jellyfin).

I have my obsidian in a seafile folder and the constant syncing doesn’t cause any issues. Sounds like a proton drive issue

Also if you are into self hosting, obsidian-live sync works very well across all my windows, Linux and android clients.

Fantastic work! Hope this catches on!

I’ve been running nextcloud since before it was nextcloud. Was owncloud then moved to next cloud.

Another user put it best. It always feels 75% complete. Sync isn’t fast, gives errors that self correct when restarting the all. Most plugins are even more janky or feel super barren.

I wanted to like it so much but I stopped being able to trust most plugins which meant I had dedicated apps for those things and used nextcloud only for file sync.

If you only want file sync then seafile is vastly superior so that’s what I now have.

Obsidian-livesync works very well If you have some self hosting skill / hardware. The sync happens in realtime and is almost like Google docs. Allows excellent sync between all devices

You are completely correct…for normal certs. Internal domains require a wild card cert with DNS challenge.

This video explains how to set it up with traefik

https://youtu.be/liV3c9m_OX8

I’d bet caddy can do something similar.

Basically you have:

1. Seafile.domain.com -> has it’s own cert
2. *.local.domain.com -> has its own cert but the * can be anything and the same cert can be used for anything in place of the star as many times as you want and therefore doesn’t need to be internet accessible to verify. That way vaultwarden.local.domain.com remains local only.

The primary reason to put authentik in front of arrs is so I don’t have to keep putting in different password for each when logging in. I disable the authentication for each of them in the app itself and then disable the exposed docker port as well so the only way to access it it via traefik + authentik. It has local access only so isn’t directly exposed to the internet.

10 free accounts on duo is very nice but I hate being locked into things (not self hosted). An open source or self hosted alternative to duo would be great.

CloudFlare is a good place for beginners to start. Setting up a reverse proxy can be daunting the first time. Certainly better than no reverse proxy.

That being said, having your own reverse proxy is nice. Better security since the certificates are controlled by your server. Also complex stuff becomes possible.

My traefik uses keys encrypt wild card domains to provide HTTPS for internal LAN only applications (vault warden) while providing external access for other things like seafile.

I also use traefik with authentik for single sign on. Traefik allows me to secure apps like sonarr with single sign on from my authentik setup. So I login once on my browser and I can access many of my apps without any further passwords.

Authentik also allows oAuth so I can use that for seafile, freshrss and immich. Authentik allows jellyfin login with LDAP. (This last paragraph could be setup with CloudFlare as well).

Wow, this looks great!

Any idea if a self hosted all like this can be set as the default PDF viewer for a browser. Firefox and Chrome both have built in pdf viewer when clicking on a pdf, having it open in this instead would be amazing.

Self hosted PDF editor sounds great!

I wish it had thr ability to add or remove a password from a document. Other than that it looks perfect.

I have 3 14tb exos drives. I have them in a Roswell 4u hotseap chassis. Running unraid.

It’s nearly inaudible over the very reasonable case fans. No grinding noises. I can hear the heads moving a bit but it’s quite subtle. Not sure why people have such different experiences with these

Onlyoffice

Is UI mimics ms office and has comparability with word files.

Not open-source and has some limitations without paying but works on windows and Linux. Can even be self hosted yourself to provide a web UI for access to your own files Google docs style.
