Another successful OpenBSD setup

I've been buying these little boxes from AliExpress for years to use as firewalls and routers. My oldest one is almost 9 years old now! OpenBSD installs just fine. Just a BIOS tweak to always boot up after power is restored.

@selfhosted

Ajen ,

Openwrt works great for gigabit networks with simple firewall rules and no IPS. But used 10-56gbps enterprise equipment is getting pretty cheap, and more complicated firewall configurations need more powerful hardware than the typical openwrt router.

And 56gbps on a home LAN might be overkill, but that's not important.

Follow-up: OpenBSD routers on AliExpress mini PCs

I got lots of replies to the last post showing the little OpenBSD internet gateway setup (super interesting; thanks!). Here's more info and pictures:

Something I've been meaning to share for years now.

Normally you use a separate AP to do that. BSDs don't normally have good support for WiFi cards. Consumer WiFi cards aren't really meant for use as APs anyway.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Netris: An open-source cloud gaming platform (GeForce NOW alternative) that can be self-hosted, integrates your Steam game library.

@selfhosted

sik0fewl ,

Yeah, network tetris. Played that a ton, too!

mal3oon ,

Noob question, how's the lag? Playing games like Sekiro for example locally on my desktop, I can't even use a shitty controller as it comes with high latency. I imagine a solution with a game hosted in a remote server would even suffer more than just a laggy controller.

Feishin: An open source self-hosted music player that can connect to your Navidrome and Jellyfin libraries

khorak ,

Symfonium is great, it supports a bunch of sources and works really well. Absolutely worth supporting the dev (check his ko-fi too)!

LittleZaZa1 ,

I am very picky with my music player apps,b but symfonium is crazy good. And still get new features. Give it a try :)

Jayjo ,

@selfhosted Have a commerical @wireguard vpn on my server. The problem i have is that if i use a docker, it does use the vpn interface with iptables, but if that goes down, the docker still goes through without the vpn interface. I have looked at iptables, but docker makes it own, and bit of a minefield. Any ideas? Thanks

MaggiWuerze ,

Something like Proton or Mullvad?

Jayjo OP ,

@MaggiWuerze @possiblylinux127 yeah.

The future of selfhosted services is going to be... Android?

Wait, what?

Think about it. At some point everyone has had an old phone lying around. They are designed to be constantly connected, constantly on... and even have a battery and potentially still a SIM card to survive power outages.

We just need to make it easy to create APK packaged servers that can avoid battery-optimization kills and automatically configure an outbound tunnel like ngrok, zerotrust, etc...

The goal: hosting services like , , !? should be as easy as installing an APK and leaving an old phone connected to a spare charger / outlet.

It would be tempting to have an optimized ROM, but if self-hosting is meant to become more commonplace, installing an APK should be all that's needed. can do SSH, VPN and other tunnels without the need for root, so there should be no problem in using tunnels to publicly expose a phone/server in a secure manner.

In regards to the suitability of home-grade broadband, I believe that it should not be a huge problem at least in Europe where home connections are most often unmetered: "At the end of June 2021, 70.2% of EU homes were passed by either FTTP or cable DOCSIS
3.1 networks, i.e. those technologies currently capable of supporting gigabit speeds."

Source: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/broadband-coverage-europe-2021

PS. syncthing actually already has an APK and is easy to use. Although I had to sort out some battery optimization stuff, it's a good example of what should become much more commonplace.

@Wander @selfhosted this whole “We are walking about with entirely reasonable servers in our pockets for reasonable scales - why doesn’t it feel like that?” thing is in my brain quite a bit.

Wander OP ,
@Wander@packmates.org avatar

@benjohn @selfhosted 6-8 GB of RAM with powerful CPU and GPU that was designed to run games and can in some cases run small AI models is nothing to scoff at imho.

Jayjo ,

@selfhosted strange problem. I have a raspberrypi as vpn gateway. I have a reolink cctv. It emails me when motion. If i use openvpn, it works fine. If i use wireguard, it does not work. If i connect to the vpn gateway on my laptop, openvpn and wg forward the laptop traffic fine. The openvpn and wg is connects to the same commerical vpn service.

Jayjo OP ,

@AtariDump yeah. I cam use openvpn or wireguard, would like to use wireguard as a lot faster

AtariDump ,

Try taking pieces out until you narrow down the issue.

IE: bring a WG tunnel up direct between your phone and home without the commercial VPN. Keep adding layers back in until something breaks.

Anyone who knows me knows that I've been using next cloud forever, and I fully endorse anyone doing any level of self hosting should have their own. It's just a self-hosted Swiss army knife, and I personally find it even easier to use than something like SharePoint.

I had a recurring issue where my logs would show "MYSQL server has gone away". It generally wasn't doing anything, but occasionally would cause large large file uploads to fail or other random failures that would stop quickly after.

The only thing I did is I went in and doubled wait_timeout in my /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf

After that, my larger file uploads went through properly.

It might not be the best solution but it did work so I figured I'd share.

Here's a cool article I found on Nextcloud performance improvements, and connecting Redis over Unix sockets gave me a more substantial performance improvement than migrating to Postgres. Very happy I fell down this rabbit hole today.

To note if you're following the tutorial in the link above, and for people using the nextcloud:stable container together with the recommended cron container:

  • the redis configuration (host, port, password, ...) need to be set in config/config.php, as well as config/redis.config.php
  • the cron container needs to receive the same /etc/localtime and /etc/timezone volumes the app container did, as well as the volumes_from: tmp

Thank you for the link and the Redis pointers. I should double check that my Nextcloud setup is using Redis, it might well be misconfigured.

alvaro ,

I would like to have a mechanism to set up a server automagically…

Similarly I would like to set up my user account settings (Tmux plugins, .zshrc and vim settings, etc) that I can replicate in multiple machines via a script (I have a custom script for this but I want a more solid alternative)

Thoughts on what infra-as-code solution would work best? Any similar experiences or use cases with one Thanks!
Cc @selfhost @selfhosted

MajorHavoc ,

I assume you mean to check on his often they're is the breaking changes? :)

Declarative style isn't perfect, but it's a massive improvement from straight bash scripting.

marx2k ,

💯

We're an ansible shop and yeah it's better than bash scripting (where it makes sense) but ansible.. man it does have some peculiarities :/

[question] Alt-text service, self hosted

Is there a service that I could plug into my misskey/firefish/whatev that provides an alt-text for an image I'm posting. I don't post images that often, so the few times, it would be nice to have an automatic OCR or LLM/Stable Diffusion description of a picture attached to it.

Of course, without depending on Google or similars.

Any ideas? cc @selfhost @selfhosted

alvaro OP ,

@Deebster maybe just OCR would be enough for a lot of cases

Deebster ,
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

Yeah, that's what I mean by transcriptions; if you're mostly posting screenshots of social media posts then it'd probably work quite well, but if it's photos you're definitely going to need something more complicated.

Has anyone tried Leantime?

I am looking for new productivity tool and found Leantime. It looked interesting, but I found some conflicting information about what features the selfhosted version contains. Does it contain all features or only core features?How is it as productivity tool and would you recommend some alternative?

I currently use Trillium Notes and Super Productivity for planning projects and time tracking.

JustEnoughDucks ,
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

I have. I use it for all of my home projects

Kanban, Gantt charts, milestones, idea collections, file uploading, retrospectives, time tracking, documentation, etc.. all supported with the selfhosted version.

These are the "premium" features:

  • Custom fields
  • Pomodoro timer
  • Whiteboard
  • Program plans (I really don't understand what is different about this than goals + milestones + documentation + tasks)
  • Strategies (pretty much just collecting and categorizing goals it seems)

https://i.imgur.com/T6bSIhK.png

I hope they don't remove features and make people pay for them. It has plenty of features to make it useful now, but if they start removing them, then I think i will have to find another solution.
