Best current hardware solution for selfhosting?
  • Can you talk a bit more about the CPU benchmarking? What sites do you usually refer to? Is score the best metric or do you look for something else as well?

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Be cautious with how much data they collect and the security implications of giving access to these services.

    Here's a thread on Beeper.

  • Docker logging solution?
  • Though not particularly a logging solution, lazydocker has made docker administration a lot easier for me.

  • Notes taking app
  • I love outline as much as the next guy, but calling it simple to selfhost is a bit of a stretch. It has lots of moving parts and not having an auth solution built-in makes it not suitable for the average user.

    That said, it does beat other wiki solutions by a wide margin!

  • RSS feeds
  • If you don't want to manually define a particular point threshold, https://hnrss.org/best works pretty great.

    Just wondering if there's something similar for Lobster.

  • This is what I use. Works pretty great.

  • How safe is Bitwarden?
  • I'll play the devil's advocate here.

    Since bitwarden is a VC funded company, I'm wary of the enshittification that might take place in the future. Even though technically speaking, you can self-host the server via Vaultwarden, it is largely possible because the project has blessing of official devs. That can change dramatically in future.

    For something as important as your passwords, trusting a for-profit company might not be the best idea.

    Would love to know what the community thinks about this.

    DISCLAIMER: I love Bitwarden and use it daily, both for personal use and at work.

  • Are you exposing any ports on your home server?
  • Everything except https and wireguard went above my head. Do you have some sort of guide/writeup that you can point to for integrating all this?

  • Any self-hosted alternative to Readwise?
  • Thanks. Daily user of omnivore here.

    However, they're not really a replacement for Readwise (especially the way they re-surface highlights), more like a replacement for pocket/wallabag.

  • Any self-hosted alternative to Readwise?

    I love their offerings and wanted to see if there's anything similar which is open source.

    Recommend me a good and cheap VPS.
  • Thanks for the recommendation. Their offerings look pretty affordable.

  • Jellyfin has closed their Reddit community permanently and moved to a new forum
  • Hate discord with a passion. I don't know why all the "new-age" open-source projects are also moving to Discord as their primary forum. The search is abysmal, there's no way to go back to previous postings in a sane manner.

    I reluctantly use discord because some of my favorite application developers use that (Immich, Omnivore, Logseq) but it's just a massive pain in the ass and every time I spend even 10 minutes there, it feels like I've spent hours looking into the dark mayhem, searching for a needle in the haystack.

  • Omnivore a Pocket Alternative
  • I've been using Omnivore for the past few months and really like it so far. A great wallabag replacement, although it still can't be easily selfhosted and there are a few components which rely on Google Cloud Functions to work. Would love to see if someone manages to selfhost it successfully.

  • What are your offsite backup solutions
  • Oh, that's neat one. Do you keep the VM running always to make the backups work?

  • Thank you so much for your support! 😍
  • Solid advice! I'd also like to chime in and recommend that apart from keeping the official server alive so that new users can come in, please prioritize on making it easier for other developers to start contributing to the codebase and setting up new instances.

    I love the way people are supporting you and the way this project has been shaping up. Best wishes!
