  • Funkwhale + Portainer?

    Jump

  • Yea, after another hour today I've decided that my time is better spent elsewhere, so I'm just going to stick with Navidrome and not worry too much about losing out on the federated music idea for now.

  • Funkwhale + Portainer?

    Jump

  • I gave up on funk whale about 6 months ago and was loving navidrome, but hadn't realised the lack of library separation. Thankfully that doesn't bother me too much. I'll give this another go and see how I get on though if I can find some time over the weekend

  • Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91%

    Jump

  • That's not quite true, water charges are part of your council tax. You get a discount if you have a septic tank because then dealing with the waste water is your responsibility.

    But you pay a flat rate based on your property's estimated value in 1991.

  • And Northern Ireland, but let's be honest, Scotland has it's own issues with nationalised bodies cough ferries cough so we Scots can't sit here with too smug a grin on our faces. I'm sure Northern Ireland has it's own issues in this field as well, but I don't live there so I pay less attention to that.

    I broadly agree with nationalising critical infrastructure like water, electricity and gas, some other key infrastructure like railways, the post office and probably a few others I can't think of at this moment in time but it's far from perfect and isn't going to make everything perfect overnight.

  • Selfhosted messenger/community software like discord

    Jump

  • I've got my instance of matrix working with voice calls. It's not built in, but it's just another service in my compose file alongside the bridges I use to have my unified chat app.

    I'm using coturn and it just works when doing voice and video calls with federated users.

    I think I've seen people using jitsi as well, so it seems there are many options available

  • My GPU is gone

    Jump

  • I considered trying that then read about some kernel versions not being compatible with certain versions of the dkms package so decided to give up, go to bed and deal with the issue later. (This was Saturday night and sadly time hasn't permitted me to start investigating again yet)

  • My GPU is gone

    Jump

  • I have the same issue on my desktop. I'd assumed it was something I'd done (it usually is) but I had to admit defeat and resort to switching to booting into a backup OS so that I could get on with all the tasks I need to get done but I'm assuming it was a problem with the Nvidia-dkms package that'll be resolved in time as people have reported similar issues in the past.

  • Self Hosting Fail

    Jump

  • Oh, I'm fine with my setup, I have a couple of external servers that can monitor all my web accessible stuff with kuma and then I've got another local one to monitor my non-web accessible stuff.

    Thanks for those tips though, definitely useful to consider other options

  • Self Hosting Fail

    Jump

  • On the uptime monitoring I've been quite happy with uptime kuma, but... If you put it on the same host that's down... Well, that's not going to work :p (I nearly made that mistake)

  • Inventorying high value items with receipts

    Jump

  • That sounds like a rather unpleasant experience indeed! I've never looked into it in more detail than scrolling through the lsio containers they offer, so thanks for that insight and saving me a headache in case I get around to a similar project I've also been meaning to embark upon

  • Could Snipe it work for you? https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-snipe-it/

    It looks like an asset management tool. The description copied and pasted from above reads:Snipe-it makes asset management easy. It was built by people solving real-world IT and asset management problems, and a solid UX has always been a top priority. Straightforward design and bulk actions mean getting things done faster

  • Self hosted Wetransfer?

    Jump

  • One time I ran out of disk space due to it having created since 200gb log files (not sure why that happened) then another time I think I broke something whilst moving from I've got to another. I can't remember what else happened to break my instances but it was always big enough there I couldn't restore it to working it after hours if work, so if just export the vaults from everyone's machine, nuke it, start again and try to learn how I broke it so I didn't do it again.

    I believe I was the problem for most of them except the massive log files one, but still, it was probably my fault as the things usually are. (Guess whose wife has them well trained at accepting the blame 😋)

  • Self hosted Wetransfer?

    Jump

  • I pay my $10 license and a personal organisation license for bitwarden because I like their platform but after yet another irrecoverable loss of data (partly my fault for not sufficiently backing it up) I've moved over to vaultwarden for my family's password management.

    I don't think I'll stop supporting bitwarden even if I'm not using their platform directly though as I do like the service I've had from them for something like 4 or 5 years now.

  • What is your favourite selfhosted wiki software and why?

    Jump

  • I was going to say that the big downside to that would be a lack of any kind of version control, but I guess if you need that you can always use git and just commit changes there and (optionally) push them to a repository somewhere.
