What is a self-hosted app/os/service/ect

Just what…?? smh

Another genious post from you was recently:

What switch would be good to run openWRT on that is proven reliable and resource capable? It would need at least 10x 1Gb ports, but I guess more would be better to use link aggregation. I only have 1.2 Gbs upload speed so I don't need anything too industrial.

I'm looking to spend under $500 on one and I'm perfectly willing to buy used from eBay. (I got my supermicro board and xeon and ecc ram used there for my NAS and they've been going great for a couple years now.)

And then you deleted it.

I was looking into Tailscale which I thought to be complexly open source, but it turns out that their coordination server is closed source. If you want to run your own open source coordination server, Headscale is the go-to option.

Yes, so if you want to fully selfhost Tailscale, use Headcale. Whats the problem?

that I had always been told by people that Tailscale was fully open source.

Stop listening to “those people” then.

This got me wondering what else is not as open source as people widely accept it to be?

Portainer Business Edition (afaik) isnt open source but the Community Edition is.

As i already replied to you in another comment… that is the definition of selfhosting of this subreddit, which you are now participating in.

And no, i dont trust anyone. I dont trust my ISP. I dont trust Intel or AMD. I dont even own a computer. And my house is powered by a diesel generator only 2 hours per day, while its covered completely in aluminium foil. I am writing these reddit comments on post-it notes and every few minutes i send one of my kids on their bicycle to drive to a random neighbour and they post them for me.

But youre not getting any more post-its from me, dont worry.

Even Cloudflare decides to inspect my traffic (and seriously why would they care about a tiny hobbyist website)

The good old “eh what do i care i dont have anything to hide” approach to security and privacy. Excellent!

“If you have nothing to hide then you dont have to worry!”

I wont respond further in this thread because i already know how these discussions go.

Like I get they are a terrible company in a lot of ways, but name a tech company that isn’t?

Why would anyone argue that other companies are saints? Are you aware you are in /r/selfhosting here? The whole point is to regain control of your own data, be in charge of who stores what, where and how.

Nothing at all.

I selfhost ntfy and services that only support email for notifications send them to ntfy smtp, then ntfy turns them into a push notification.

NOW MAKE ALLCAPS POSTS ON REDDIT AND PROFIT

You are probably transcoding video sometimes. Use the Jellyfin forums.

If you cannot forward a port in your router, then you need to run a tunnel to the outside. Look at VPNs, like Tailscale/Headscale, plain Wireguard and Cloudflare tunnels etc.

I am having a heck of a time editing my Dashy yaml file. There is a json text editor, I truly can’t wrap my head around the syntax it’s absurd. Sorry if you like json.

Huh what? YAML or JSON? They are not the same.

I can’t ssh because I don’t know the logins and was never prompted to set any.

You cant ssh into your own host? What? Why are you trying to “ssh into Dashy”?!

Even if I could, the guides are all set for docker and I really don’t know where I would go other than blindly listing directories until I stumbled on it.

And the problem with that is…? Youre not even mentioning how you have installed Dashy. Is it in a LXC? In a VM? If you run it in either, then YOU will have the login details. How should Dashy provide those to you?!

Nothing here makes much sense, and top of all, this here is neither /r/DashySupport or /r/YAMLJSONSupport etc.

Maybe ask Dashy for Dashy support? -> https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/discussions

Ask /r/HomeNetworking

Maybe something like OpenWRT or Mikrotiks RouterOS can run on it.

/r/Docker but you should really just take a look at the documentation.

ffs…

“Enter your email address to join waiting list”… no thanks.

Selfhosting? Opensource? No infos.

If you want to avoid problems, use TLD that are assigned for this purpose, for example .home.arpa or .home or .lan or .private etc.

Avoid using .local because its already used by mDNS.

And another one too lazy to even use the search, let alone look at the sidebar.

What next

And of course, look at the subreddit sidebar, find the awesome-selfhosted list and work your way through that. There is also a big fat sticky “Please read this first” thread that you ignored.

Audiobookshelf can download/play/manage podcasts too, not only Audiobooks.

Podfetch also exists.

Simply searching this sub and looking at the awesome-selfhosted list linked in the sidebar would have given you these and more options.

I am happy in the camp of diun+dockcheck too, they both dont get enough love.

Ask a hardware sub, maybe try /r/Homelab /r/HomeServer /r/BuildaPC etc.

As example, some software pushes out updates that can (and sometimes will) break your setup.

Of course nobody pushes out something like that on purpose to mess with users. But mistakes happen all the time. And even if the dont, some version upgrades require the user to take manual steps, when these are ignored and with something like Watchtower just blindly upgraded, setups can and very likely will break.

Imo its not worth the very short amount of time saved by automatic-updates versus the amount of time it costs to fix such a mess when it occurs.

For example, NPM (Nginx Proxy Manager) had a update months ago that broke many users setups. They of course did warn about this in the changenotes, but i remember people here on sub saying “well damn i used watchtower and it updated npm overnight and i wake up and nothing works anymore, took me hours to figure out the reason and fix it”.

Zabbix can monitor PostgreSQL, MySQL and iirc MongoDB. No clue about details tho, check the docs.
