Selfhosted

What is it?

It’s a Media Discovery and Download Hub which acts as add-on or extension for the Arr stack and more, designed to manage and obtain media both manually and automatically. Think of it as a media manager, recommendation and helper app.

What's the Problem?

I've made a start, but for long-term stability and maintainability, the project needs more contributors. It's highly modular, with separate services, making it easy for new developers to jump in and focus on specific areas.

Where to Start?

I’ve set up the repo on GitHub at https://github.com/MediaWolfOrg/MediaWolf and I’m happy to add people to the the project. This way, the project won’t be dependent on any one individual. With enough developers, it will help keep the project alive and ensure long-term stability.

Note: This could be a great first project if you're just starting out, as the modular architecture makes it easy to contribute without needing to tackle everything at once. Apologies if you've already seen this or if its against the rules..

I've wanted to do this for a long time. My current ADHD hyperfixation is NodeBB, but I think my questions fit most anything that you want to be available to the general public and not just yourself and your friends.

Basically, I want to host a NodeBB instance intended for the general public out of my house. What are the risks of doing this? In particular, what are the risks of doling out a web address that points to my personal IP address? Is this even a good idea? Or should I just rent a VPS? This is 80% me wanting to improve my sysadmin skills, and 20% me wanting to create a community.

I have a DMZ in place. Hosts in the DMZ cannot reach the LAN, but LAN hosts can reach the DMZ. If necessary, I can make sure DMZ hosts can't communicate with each other.

I have synchronous 1 Gb fiber internet. Based on the user traffic of similar forums, I don't anticipate a crush of people.

I know the basics of how to set up a NodeBB instance, and I've successfully backed up and restored an instance on another machine.

I'm not 100% on things like HTTPS certs. I can paste a certbot command from a tutorial, that's it.

Anything else I should know? Thanks!

EDIT:

I also have a domain, a couple of them, actually. They're like potato chips; you can't stop at just one.

I don't plan on self-hosting email used for forum registration and announcements. I'm not a masochist.

Here are some of my projects on GitHub. You can find tools like ChannelTube for downloading YouTube content, SpotTube for Spotify playlists (via yt-dlp) and more. Enjoy!

Note: You might recognize these from elsewhere, but I’m new to this platform.

I am looking for some recommendations on how to secure the data of my physical servers (against physical theft), that I am about to set up. I am new to selfhosting but have a few years of experience running Linux on a desktop.

My usecase is a simple debian(?) server at home with Paperless ngx and Tailscale for when I am away from home. 

The question is how to encrypt the data while still being able to keep the server updated.

Coming from Desktop my first thought was to simply enable FDE on install. But that would mean supplying the password everytime the server needs to reboot for an update. Could someone provide some insights on how often updates to debian require a reboot? 

My second thought was to use an encrypted data partition. That way the server could reboot and I could use wireguard to ssh in and open the partition even when I am away from home for a longer time.

I am open to other ideas!

For those unfamiliar, DockGE is "A fancy, easy-to-use and reactive self-hosted docker compose.yaml stack-oriented manager."

Similar to portainer

Warning

Breaking change: Due to the security reason, the "Console" feature is now disabled by default. If you need this feature and understand the risk, you can enable it via the environment variable DOCKGE_ENABLE_CONSOLE=true.

Hey y'all 👋

I usually don't post release updates, but this one has me excited :)

Here come 🔀 Workflow Automations for your network device management.

https://i.imgur.com/rhLy5WW.jpeg

So, what can you do? You can change any Device field, or delete the Device itself, if any number of custom conditions are fulfilled. For example, you can UN-archive a device if it's detected online. Or group devices with a specific name or vendor into a group. Or assign devices to a location depending on the IP they get...

These are only examples, but I think you get the idea. Happy tinkering and automating! Share your workflows in Discord or GitHub Discussions.

It's World Backup Day again. Good opportunity to check if your backup mechanisms work as intended.

Many users reported high memory/RAM usage, some 8GB+.

In my case gone from 1.5GB+ to 400MB or less on Raspberry Pi 4.

Adding MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_=100000can make a big difference.

With Docker:
Add to your docker-compose.yml and docker compose down && docker compose up -d

...
environment:
  - MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_=100000
...

With systemd:
Edit /etc/default/jellyfin change the value of MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_ and restart the service

# Disable glibc dynamic heap adjustment
MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_=100000

Source: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/6306#issuecomment-1774093928

Official docker,Debian,Fedora packages already contain MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_.
Not present on some docker images like linuxserver/jellyfin

Check is container (already) have the variable
docker exec -it jellyfin printenv | grep MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHO LD_

I already host multiple services via caddy as my reverse proxy. Jellyfin, I am worried about authentication. How do you secure it?

Lemmy newb here, not sure if this is right for this /c.

An article I found from someone who hosts their own website and micro-social network, and their experience with web-scraping robots who refuse to respect robots.txt, and how they deal with them.

So, I run three VPS and one rack in the closet. Currently I have Duplicati running on all four servers. What I would like to do is have one central server back up all four servers and store the backups in an offsite repository.

I'd prefer something with a good GUI. I know you purist get a hard on thinking about the CLI, and while it is a very powerful aspect of Linux, I still like a GUI.

What are my options?

Side note, I wanted to look at Bacula but their site seems nonexistent. Is Bacula defunct?

What's up, what's down and what are you not sure about?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

Just curious if there is an easy way to back up my docker-compose.yaml and .env files. I have the following directory structure for my containers:

-docker
  -<name of container>
    -.env
    -docker-compose.yml

I'd like to copy those two files for each container folder but no other subfolders that may also be in the container folder (config, data, etc). I've been trying to get my restic backups to do it but I just can't figure it out.

Is there a better way? I'd like to have backups in case my entire server dies.___

I'm sure everyone is aware of the 'Awesome' lists on Github. There are loads of them, which makes keeping up with new apps a chore.

I came across this site that does that very thing:

https://www.trackawesomelist.com/

I didn't know if anybody would find it as useful as I do. I have it in my FreshRSS reader.

I just got around to deploying FreshRSS and I'm looking for some self hosted content or just otherwise interesting feeds.

Thanks in advance!

I am running a NAS at home, Minecraft server and some other stuff.

I want to make it all easier to access by getting my own domain, both for myself and friends and family.

Will also use it for my mail address etc.

My main goal is reduce my dependency on US services for very obvious reasons.

What's a good non US dns registrar to use? Found a ton online, but it's my first time doing this and I'm a bit lost unfortunately.

Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated.

Help Needed: Homepage Dashboard "Failed to construct 'URL'" Error

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm encountering a persistent issue with my self-hosted Homepage dashboard (v1.1.1). Some tabs with bookmarks fail to load, showing the error:

TypeError: Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid URL

This happens on multiple tabs, including Accessibility_Resources and Shopping. I've tried troubleshooting by:

• Validating my YAML files (all are valid).

• Using lowercase tab names without special characters.

• Ensuring all URLs in bookmarks.yaml are absolute (http:// or https://).

• Clearing browser cache and testing in multiple browsers.

Despite these efforts, the issue persists. The error appears in the browser console as follows:

TypeError: Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid URL    at F (index-3a04b80eb558747c.js:1:42899)    at af (framework-bbeeca9707659ffa.js:1:65163)    ...

I suspect the issue might be related to how Homepage processes bookmarks or tab names internally. Below are my full configuration files for reference (API keys and sensitive data redacted):

Loci is a python script that can backup a directory to a server using rsync - It keeps track of the backups that have been done. Multiple backups may be kept. Rsync is used to handle the backups so only the needfull is copied and single files can be recovered from the backup if needed. loci -b tag : Backup under the tag given (I used days of the week)

loci -l : List backups showing those tags unused, backups that are needed, and backups that been run more than 5 times. I refresh these.

loci -r tag : Refresh a tag's backup - delete the files under that tag and backuplog entries to prepare for a fresh backup using loci -b

~/.backuplog a file in .csv format that keeps track of backups done.

~/.config/loci/settings Settings file. Fully commented.
