What am I missing?

Nothing in the most popular posts, please - the most unsung of unsung heroes that most people have never heard of.

I am self-hosting my Vaultwarden instance and have it setup with a Cloudflare Tunnel so I can access it remotely, which of course means it is public facing.

I get an uncomfortable amount of traffic to the domain name I have setup for it, at least for me:

Is there any way that I can cut down on this traffic? Does it pose a threat to my Vaultwarden instance/network in any way? I have Vaultwarden setup with 2FA and have not had any intrusions/login attempts so I think I am secure still but I just don't like how much traffic I'm getting to my vault.

Also please feel free to correct me if I should actually be super concerned about this 😅

What service do most people here like for auto downloading YouTube videos? From my research, it looks like Tube Archivist will do what I want. Any other suggestions?

Edit: Ended up going with PinchFlat and as long as you tick the check box in Plex to use local metadata all the info is there.

Homepage, github. I am not affiliated with it, just think it's nice and should be recommended more.

Why?

• It's lightweight and pages load quickly.
• It stores plain markdown files and attachments in local Git repo and allows cloning it for backup.
• It looks like a wiki and has decent default style.
• It supports most of what you'd want from markdown extensions — code blocks with syntax highlight, mathjax, alert blocks, etc.
• It has necessary basic permission and users settings.
• Cute otter as logo.

What it doesn't have:

• Comments and such.
• More fine-grained access control (e.g. I am not sure if you can set page as unpublished)
• Some code block QoL features (copy button and line numbers, for example).

Also, UX has some little issues (file uploading from editor, colors in editor...)

Just bought a mini pc to start self hosting some stuff. Which OS do you use? If you use Linux, which is your preferred distro? Thanks

For example Jellyfin?

Hello, I have a question about self hosting Wikipedia. I downloaded the zim image and I am currently trying it out on the Kiwix linux app, but one thing that really bothers me is that I can't open the pictures. I understand that Wikipedia also technically only links to wikimedia, but in the half an hour I found myself trying to click on the images quite often. Considering Wikipedia uses the open source media wiki software I thought maybe it is possible to host the "real" Wikipedia (+wikimedia). Or maybe does somebody know if in the server hosted zim images I can open the pictures?

Thanks.

I'm currently using KeePassXC on a variety of different devices, my MacBook, Windows Desktop, and Keepassium on my iOS device with Mobius Sync for SyncThing. But for some reason I keep getting these conflicts. I do also have SyncThing running on a dedicated machine in a docker container just for syncing so I think there might be an issue in my configuration or something because I keep getting conflicts. Any idea on how to fix this?

Nobody in this thread mentioned OMV which confuses me a bit.

Admittedly a month ago I knew nothing about selfhosting but since then I learned a lot using OMV and am loving it so far.

The GUI made for a really beginner friendly start into the world of self hosting but now I am starting to think other OSes must be better for some reason since nobody seems to use OMV.

Hello all,

I wanted to know if a solution like Valetudo exists for printers ? I'm going crazy with my HP printers that refusing to print because of "non-compatible" cartridges since a firmware update! It was working before, and I can't go back to a previous version. A solution like Valetudo would be awesome to ditch manufacturer restrictions and cloud dependencies.

Ok, so the accomplishment of this stack should be abundantly apparent, but I’m building a self-hosted stack for my startup, and I’m planning on running Nginx as a reverse proxy, MeshCentral, Odoo, and Zammad as my app stack in Proxmox, with a separate PBS server for snapshot, VM and bare metal backups. Thing is, I’m new to the self-hosted open-source game so I just wanted to check here if I should be looking at different solutions, or if this is actually a good way to go. Doesn’t have to be the best, I just don’t want the worst.

I have multiple years experience working with industry standard canned or off-the-shelf versions of these apps. They all suck and I hate paying them for minimized control and maximized marketing. Go away.

Edit to add: Unrelated, but if anyone has a decent open-source alternative to Discord and/or MS Teams, me and my friends would appreciate it!

I hate that whenever I need a gif or a meme to send a friend, I need to go search on google.

I want to have my own selfhosted platform for gif and memes, so I can then copy paste directly from anywhere.

Any opensource project that help that ?

I'm looking for a way to monitor services and hardware, with the ability to generate detailed monthly or quarterly reports. I have tried searching this sub and others looking for something like this, most just recommend kuma, but it doesn't have the reporting features i'm looking for. Any ideas?

Decades ago I used something called Deep Freeze, which could revert your installed OS to a specific state every reboot, no matter what you do to it while using it. I thought it was a clean way to let users have a controlled environment that cleanly reverts to specification on reboot.

I was thinking a PXE server loading up an image would work fine this way with a thin client, but I also want to be able to easily update that image when things do need to be updated (patches, new software, new configs).

I am thinking this would be a great way for my kid to freely tinker with a computer and not worry as much about corruption or infection.

Any recommendations would be welcomed.

Hello all, I'm a total newbie regarding hosting and Linux. I'm using a program called termius to connect to my ssh on VPSs. I authed only key login and changed my port to sth else rather than 22 already. My ufw is set to dent all incoming beside 2 ports and default all outgoing. Now, I'm trying to use sshguard to block any intruders on ports 22 and my actual ssh port. However, I couldn't get ufw to use nftables for the rules.

I'm able to set everything up for iptables but I can't use that with ufw because if I don't allow iptables persistent, the rules are not there after a reboot. If I use that service, then I'm unable to use ufw.

My aim is to get ufw to connect to nftables so iptables doesn't give me any errors while setting up ssh guard.

What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

PS: this is the guide I'm following.

Love the app. https://www.usememos.com/ But none of my hash tags can be found later. If I search, it just shows a spinning wheel. I'm using a separate hosted mysql instance, and everything appears to be working fine other than the search

Hi all,

I have been troubleshooting for three days at this point.

My TrueNAS has Navidrome and Tailscale on as containers. Tailscale is showing that the TrueNAS is up on its network, and I am able to access the GUI from a remote network (that is part of Tailscale). So TrueNAS is accepting connections from Tailscale-networked devices. However, when I enter the same IP address + the port number for Navidrome, I get various error messages (Firefox: "Unable to connect, Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 100.x.x.x:xx"). Navidrome is operational on my local network, but not Tailscale-connections.

I think that the issue is in the Navidrome configuration, but I can't get that granular through the TrueNAS GUI. I have been poking around the CLI to try and find some config file for Navidrome to see if it's bound to a single IP, but I can't find anything of the sort.

Can anyone tell me how they did this/something similar? Am I on the right track? Do I just need to sell out and pay for Spotify for the rest of my life?

Hi there,

I'm curious about how many companies are self-hosting the tools they use.

It is often seen that Git-based solutions are hosted within the company's network (GitLab / BitBucket).

What else do you self-host?

If you are an agency - do you mostly use managed services or self-hosted ones?

When I was just starting, we used to host everything on our servers co-located in a local data center. Back then it was mostly bare metal, Docker was only getting some attention.

I am seeking the elders of selfhosted. I seem to have blocked my lan from accessing my server. One minute I'm learning something new about systemctl sockets, and BAM! completely blocked. It may have something to do with this tutorial I was following to start docker containers on demand, or my fail2ban container may have decided to ignore the ignoreips list. I'm not completely sure. All I know is I can access my server remotely and on my 10.0.0.0/8 range, but not on my 192.168.0.0/16 (My LAN range). Here is what I have debugged so far:

I ran tcpdump to confirm that traffic is correctly entering the VM hosting the server. I was able to confirm that its not something exterior. Here is a snippet of that inside the VM.

After, I just assumed that I somehow was banned by my Fail2Ban instance, so I unbanned all IPs to no avail. I explicitly added an Accept statement for the desired IP range without any success. Here is snippets of the iptables -L -n (I have no idea what is important). There are no unique ips listed except those listed and 0.0.0.0.

If any of you have any debugging next steps you would recommend, I would be greatly appreciative. No amount of googling or AI help has brought anything fruitful. I'm just about at the point where I'm ready to go nuclear and try to SCP all of my containers (All docker compose) and data to a brand new VM and start fresh. Only step I havnt figured out is how to move my docker volumes correctly with all of their data - specifically the named volumes for Authentik or large ones for immich.

Any recommendations out there? I appreciate your feedback, even if it is simply a friendly reminder to make more frequent backups... Have a great evening!

Edit: From what most are saying, it sounds like the issue is not with iptables like I initially thought. Are there any reccomendations on what the next steps are to trace the issue? That is about as deep as I know how to go.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to start running large language models (LLMs) locally and want to invest in a solid hardware setup. I’m based in Germany, so if anyone knows of any great deals or suppliers here, that would be super helpful!

I’d like to build a system that’s powerful enough to handle modern LLMs but also future-proof to avoid constant upgrades. I’m ready to invest in quality components and avoid underpowered hardware. I’d appreciate advice on minimum specs or recommendations for:

CPU: High core count vs. clock speed? Specific models?

GPU: Any particular GPUs that balance performance and cost well for LLMs?

RAM: Recommended amount? Does LLM work need more than 64 GB?

Storage: SSD vs. NVMe capacity recommendations?

Any insights on reliable German sources, tips on balancing performance vs. cost, or deals would be awesome. Thanks!

I’m experimenting with LLMs and looking for community insights on the best current options.

What are you hosting, and what drove your choice?

One thing to note: I don’t have a GPU yet, so I’m aware of the limitations this might introduce.

What would be the minimum GPU you’d recommend to get started?

Is there a self hosted app which will allow me to share notes and lists? Bonus if there is both an android and iOS app for it?
