I think we had one already, it was called OpenKeyChain or something? How is this one different?

To be honest I never thought of that and this looks like exactly what I need. Do you know if it works with subdomains, so if I add example.com to exceptions will it also store cookies from subdomain.example.com ? However I’m not sure if cookies are being stored by a subdomain or the main domain for some sites, for example there are sites that host user’s blog at user.website.com .

Also I wish there was a button in address bar or somewhere else to simply click and “Add an exception to allow storing cache and cookies”.

UPD: Press Alt, go to Tools -> Page info (or press Ctril+I) -> Permissions, there is a button to Allow Set Cookies there.

Thank you very much, I never noticed such a setting!

Can you tell me more about where do I disable cookies and add exceptions for sites which I do want to store cookies? Does this also remove data other than cookeis (cache, local storage etc.)?

Can you please link me to a guide or something, how do I configure firefox to use containers automatically? I guess I want two containers, for the sites I trust just one “regular” container and open everything else (except a few whitelisted sites) in a “throwaway” container that I can remove and create again to get rid of all local data. How do I “whitelist” a few sites to open in container 1 and configure firefox to open everything else in container 2?

UPD: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/462

So 8 years passed and still no possibility to set default container for Ctrl + T or “+” on tab bar in UI…

And why don’t you configure your Browser so that all data and caches are deleted when you close the browser?

Doesn’t it also close all tabs on close and remove all history? Can I add exceptions to this? So that tabs stay the same after a restart, and few sites (like mastodon) keep their cookies, but everything that is not whitelisted gets the data cleaned.

No, I’m not looking for Tor.

Thank you. Maybe there’s some extension to quickly destroy site data (cache, local storage, cookies, history entries) when closing tabs? Like a second button next to “close tab” that says “destroy site data and close tab”.

When I have a firefox running, can I launch the second firefox instance with a different profile without closing my first firefox instance?

The only issue with that is that I need to manage 2 browsers I guess (install two sets of extensions, to two sets of about:config changes, change new options in settings twice etc.). Thank you for suggestion.

Thank you for your advice.

Basically I want each tab to be unable to track me on other tabs, so tab isolation. Does firefox to this in normal containers?

Can you set up docker in a way that it does not mess with my firewall?

You see, this is an issue for me because I don’t want my ports “automagically” being open, I want to know exactly which ports are in use and by which apps, I don’t want package manager to manage my ports. I know this sounds “old school” but I prefer to control my ports manually and I don’t want my iptables rules be a mess I can’t understand.

Maybe that’s more of a “me” issue than a docker issue, but anyway, I prefer to not use such software.

So, how do I use iptables to open ports for docker apps? Usually I install a thing that requires for example port 8080, and I open the port 8080. Does docker respect iptables?

Yes but the app in OP clearly states it’s not meant to be open to the internet, it’s just a booru with web UI to be used on localhost. So it kinda has nothing to do with self hosting in a regular sense, why docker?

Because I don’t like docker. It’s one more abstraction layer that I don’t understand, going to spend time learning how to use it, need to maintain it, it’s gonna take up space on my SSD etc.

Same for flatpak, snap etc.

One developer thinks flatpak is the latest shiny hype thing ans releases his software as a flatpak. The other does snap. Third one prefers docker. Fourth one maybe something else.

I don’t want to maintain this zoo of package managers on my desktop and think about “wait, was this app a docker or a flatpak, how do I update it?”. I want to sudo apt install everything because that’s the default package manager for my distro and I expect all the software to be in a repo that works with it.

Not to sound entitled or anything, it’s just natural to not want to use docker imho.

Looks nice, can this work without docker?

It depends.

Have you tried GNU Cash?

Are you the author?

Idk what is “kitchenowl”, but yesterday I had a situation where I need to create a github issue (well, I needed a software developer know about something, and the software is only hosted on github).

I created a new github account, created an issue, logged out and saw that my issue isn’t there. Turns out my account was flagged. I tried to reach support, but github asks to enable 2FA for this. Added an authenticator.

Turns out, you still can’t reach github support until you add and verify a phone number via SMS. No way I’m giving away my phone number to microsoft.

So, it’s not possible to reach the support, there is no email address, and I can’t create issues. What a joke. I wish people in FOSS community stopped using github.

In the end, I just found the dev’s email address and sent them an email.
