Now, let me be polemical here …

(And this is to be read with a pinch of /s)

Selfhosting on windows and understanding what you do is so much better than selfhost on CasaOS/ZimaOS/FancyWebGui/Synology and just spin up containers randomly without even understand what a container is and how it does work at all …

Now roast me :)

I don’t think that Linux is in the title or description of this community!

You pick your own poison …

Mine is Gentoo Linux all the way, yours is Windows. Find two more selfhosters and they will criticize both of us! We are kind of the two extreme of the spectrum…

Welcome!

Thank you! I recently updated from Dokuwiki to Leaf wiki. Best decision ever. Not because Dokuwiki was bad, but I am truly fed up with php dependency.

Define what is world building

Yes, there aren’t many options that is not idea but it works fine

You forget about that UI. Only used to create users. Then use. Cardiac/cal app like Dav5X on Android or similar to connect and do all the stuff like create, import etc

See my wiki at https://wiki.gardiol.org/7-services/radicale

It also shows how to install infCloud to get an actual web GUI to use calendars from your server

Life.

Its interesting and always new every day. Hope that doesn’t end too soon … That would be a pity…

Try LazyNVR for reolink cameras, it’s very lightweight and a different take than frigate https://codeberg.org/LazyNVR/lazynvr-sources

Get off my lawn kiddo, Ripley’s coming over with analcoholic beer.

To my knowledge conduit is basically dead in the water. Very little updates if any.

When I chooses my matrix server, o went with the predecessor of Continuwuity and then migrated to Continuwuity and have been happy ever since…

Tuwunnel don’t know, I didn’t really appreciated the corporate backing somehow and lack of perceived transparency.

Is conduit actually still in business at all?

Don’t ignore a N^2 stack as well

No. If your new protocol is at level N, you just build it on top of level N-1

Yes … That is what pissed me…

But half day of cussing and swearing helped

Isn’t that the plesk added value?

Agree. I went directly with Jellyfin because I joined late the party, but never regret it.

So can’t comment on Plex, because I never used it. But I see the news and see the enshittified path it’s going on with Plex

I understand that they need revenue, specially if they actually provide the bandwidth to let you access your media from outside home. I also understand why people is mad, but I guess convenience come with a price, of you don’t want to pay for it, there are alternatives I don’t see anything bad in switching to jellyfin.

too expensive for my phone budget, but interesting and hopeful that Sailfish and Jolla succeed in the long run. The more Android gets closed down, the more market share opens for Linux phones, and i just love Jolla and Sailfish approach.

Woah…

my phone budget is 250€, for that i guess i can forget a Jolla phone for the moment.

Anyway, keep an eye on Sailfish for sure, as i was a MeeGo/Maemo enthusiast back then.

I fully understand your point, but the mailcow as open relay seems strange. Anyway, it’s a risk/cost tradeoff right? Everybody should do it’s own assessment and experimentation. But after the initial setup, it’s zero maintenance. The only maintenance i do is keep the stack regularly updated, and it broke twice in 20+ years (dovecot new config format, WTF…)

Isn’t that the gist of selfhosting?

Yes you can do it, yes you can have it done for you by somebody else. The first is fun, and risky, the second is less fun and less risky. We are all here for the fun… and probably we all don’t care too much of the risks. But why shut down everybody who ask about email selfhosting with a don’t do it? Let them try, make errors and fix them, maybe they learn something new, maybe it works out for them

What is the worst that might come out of it? Some spam? A blacklist? Come on, you can survive both. Don’t use your primary email account as self hosted from the beginning maybe, to mitigate all those risks, no?

Because 99% of helfhosters pull containers, with zero understanding of what they do. They they try email, because heck why not also email, and hit the wall of actually must understand what you are doing or else…

Yes probably selfhosting email is for advanced users, people who at least know how to manage a DNS record and how nwtworking works. Maybe it’s just that selfhosting bar has dropped significantly thanks to docker, and indeed email hosting is a bit more complex that just “docker compose pull” approach.

Yet i think people should not be scaring others so easily on email self hosting, it’s perfectly doable and fun to do. Maybe don’t switch your primary account just imediately to mitigate risks…
