Father_Redbeard , to Selfhosted in How responsive is your Nextcloud?
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

I've shit-talk NC so much on here and other forums but for some reason kept feeling compelled to try to make it work. I've tried a few of the Community Docker templates available on Unraid "store" as well as AIO. I've had issues with all of them. Then gave NextcloudPi a try on a spare Pi 4 (installed a SSD as boot instead of microSD) and it works much better. It's still much slower than I think it should be, but this version is far and away more responsive than the others.

Seafile is a beast of an app that syncs and performs incredibly fast. Some folks won't use it due to the git-like chunks it parses your data into on the server end (this is what accounts for the speed from what I've read). I understand the concerns in that regard, but I still like it and I have my own way to mitigate that concern.

Father_Redbeard , to Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services. in immich update has breaking changes
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

Dang. Again? I know they have the disclaimer that it's not to be relied on for photo backup yet and thankfully I'm not, but it's so much better than any of it's peers that I'd love to ditch the other apps.

Father_Redbeard , to Selfhosted in Recomendation for a note taking app
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

I'll give it a go. The plain md files is exactly why I went with Obsidian in the first place. I just haven't found a FOSS alternative that I like as much. Closest is Acreom but it's not yet open source, on the roadmap though.

@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

Obsidian is my favorite thus far. It sucks at checklists/Todo though. So I use Quillpad as a shopping list keeper and Tasks.org as my task management/Todo, both syncing to my self hosted Nextcloud instance.

I'm still on Obsidian Sync because I couldn't get Syncthing to work reliably, but that was very early in my selfhosting journey, so I will try again.

Father_Redbeard , to Free and Open Source Software in Yet another request for a note taking app
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

It's not open source yet, but that is on their roadmap. Acreom behaves in a similar way to Obsidian in that it's text files on the local file system. But it actually handles check boxes much better than Obsidian.

That said, the Android app requires use of their cloud sync, which I'm not a fan of because like you I'd rather manage my own sync. I've encouraged the dev to consider it on Android but I seem to be the only one bringing it up at all.

Father_Redbeard , (edited ) to Selfhosted in Termius alternative ?
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

Not self hosted, but Tabby is the closest I've found. But I still don't like it as much as Termius. And from what other, more experienced people have said, Tabby is bloated, requiring way more system resources than a terminator emulator app should.

Also, I asked a related question here if you want to read some other suggestions.

Father_Redbeard OP , to Free and Open Source Software in Nextcloud Tasks & Tasks.org?
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

Found the issue!

In order to have tasks created outside of NC tasks appear in NC, the category needs to be set as Tasks. At least I think that's what the menu item is called. I've included a screenshot and until now didn't notice that the categories I created in Tasks.org are under a "local lists" heading. No wonder they don't sync. Seems like there should be a way to still set categories and have 2-way sync, but for now this is a working solution for me.

Father_Redbeard OP , to Free and Open Source Software in Nextcloud Tasks & Tasks.org?
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

Just double checked to make sure I have it set that way. What is weird is that it can apparently sync marking a task complete back to NC. Just can't get a task created in the phone app to show up in NC.

Father_Redbeard OP , to Selfhosted in VPN to home network options
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

That great, thanks for the info. I was able to get Wireguard setup in unraid but they make it pretty easy, so I didn't have a problem. I just didn't think about connecting to the entire network, not just the server.

Father_Redbeard OP , to Selfhosted in VPN to home network options
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah I know some of those words...

I'm still a newb but I'll have a look at that link, thanks!

Father_Redbeard OP , to Selfhosted in VPN to home network options
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

Well, I didn't realize that was an option to be honest, lol. I am having some issues with that box at the moment though so having a pi or my router acting as the gateway appealed to me with it's longer uptime

Father_Redbeard OP , to Selfhosted in VPN to home network options
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

Most services are on the unraid box. But I had a pi running Pi-hole for a long time (switched to adguardhome) and wanted that separate from the main server in case it went down. Pis boot up a lot faster than my server hardware and then you still need to start the array and mount drives. Having AGH on a Pi as primary DNS means minimal internet outages caused by my tinkering. I was given the 4 and put it in a really cool case that can fit a M.2 or 2.5" SSD and boot from it. So that is NextcloudPi and AGH. The 3 is because my 3d printer is nowhere near a LAN connection and 3 has WiFi. The 4 is sitting next to my router. We won't mention the 1B I've been messing with too...

Father_Redbeard OP , to Selfhosted in VPN to home network options
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

That's looks handy. Thanks!

Father_Redbeard , to Selfhosted in Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

I ran Pi-hole for years. Switched to adguardhome running on 2 servers (primary and secondary) with AGH sync keeping the two instances identical. I like the UI better, dns rewrites, and the ability to simply block services entirely with a single click.

Father_Redbeard , (edited ) to Privacy in Nova Launcher Alternative?
@Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml avatar

Not a bad idea. I get picky about aesthetics though. Dumb, I know. But I'll give it a try. Just seems silly to me that default launchers can't manage editing the dang app shortcuts

edit: Samsungs OneUI launcher does not put the badge on a PWA. But I'm not sure I trust them any more than Nova at this point....
