O think you meant to reply that to OP

Nibodhika , 2 months ago to Selfhosted in In search of software for managing my life (like a helpdesk but in a lite format)

O was going to make a weak suggestion, but the more I read the stronger my suggestion becomes. I strongly recommend you look at Silverbullet. It's similar to Obsidian in that everything is a markdown file, but has an excellent query language. For example in a random file I add a task with a tag, e.g.

* [ ] Do something [priority: 30]

Then on my homepage I have this block of code:

\```query
task where done = false and
priority > 0
order by priority desc
render [[Library/Core/Query/Task]]
\```

Which renders as a list of all my tasks on all my files ordered by priority, you can see how this becomes extremely customizable, e.g. using where page = Some/Page will only render tasks from that page.

It's not a kanban board like you asked, but it's great for all those stuff, and it's highly customizable to whatever you need.

You can keep track of problems each on their own page and have a frontmatter with general information that can be queried as if it were a database.

For example I keep one page for each tool I use at my work, and on the index of my work I have a table that shows these tools and links or cli examples.

Yes, but any person calling on WhatsApp would get through. Granted, that's better than not using DnD, but still it's not perfect like people are making it out to be.

Nibodhika , 2 months ago to Selfhosted in Pause alerts during the night

Not OP, but AFAIK that doesn't work for Whatsapp or other in-app calls, and since my family lives in another continent if there's an emergency they'll call via WhatsApp.

An argument could be made that because I live far away I don't need to be informed of emergencies right away, but there are cases in which I would like that, even if just to buy a same day ticket to go back as soon as possible.

Nibodhika , 2 months ago to Selfhosted in what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion

Portage has supported binary packages since forever, back in 2012 I had some binary packages on my system, I clearly remember because it was a pain in the ass to compile certain things, for those I installed the binary version. It's like Debian supporting source packages, it's been there since forever but people don't know about it.

My home server also runs arch, mostly because it's a computer I was using for myself before and I'm lazy and just left what was already there.

And by now you mean for the past decade at least.

Nibodhika , 2 months ago to Selfhosted in Notification when new app versions are released

I use diun and rss feeds. So far I've had different levels of success with different services.

For example for Immich the RSS is a lot more useful because it lets you know when you need to run manual steps.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Moving away from Nextcloud AIO, where do I start setting up a Nextcloud instance WITHOUT Docker?

If you're going to start from the default Nextcloud instead of AIO you might as well try it on docker. Setting it up is easy regardless, but if you don't install it using docker keeping it up to date is a pain in the ass.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud

Yeah, if you have a volume mounted on the folder where next cloud is installed it would be the same as what I mentioned. Look for anything mounting on /app that should be used from the image.

That being said be careful, if you haven't upgraded in a long time it's possible the automatic upgrade won't work or might break stuff.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud

If the docker update doesn't update things you might not be using docker at all. Docker is like having a VM that you destroy after every run, so it's not that it updates the version, it is as if you were spinning up a new machine with the new version, a machine running the new version can't be running the old version by definition, unless you did something like telling that machine to overwrite the installation folder with a local one, e.g. by having something like - /var/www/nextcloud:/var/www/nextcloud (or whatever the path is where you have next cloud installed locally) in your volumes for the docker, which would be akin to buying a new PC because your GPU is old, immediately swapping out the new GPU for the old one, and wondering why the new GPU is so slow.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud

I have a Nextcloud running in docker for years, the update has always been just docker pull. After years of suffering with the native installation, and upgrade processes that never worked, I migrated to docker and it couldn't be simpler.

This is one of the reasons every time someone says "you don't need docker to run your server" I'm like "yes, but that's like saying you don't need a vehicle to travel 100km".

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Should I learn Docker or Podman?

Got it, no one should use software hosted on GitHub, you're either a teenager who just discovered Linux a couple of years ago or a FOSS fundamentalist, in any case I've had the personal policy of not to waste time with either for over 20 years.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Should I learn Docker or Podman?

Btw I don't mean any of that as an insult or anything of the sort, I do the same with the services I install from the package manager even though I'm aware of those security flags, what they do and how to add them.

Nibodhika , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Should I learn Docker or Podman?

It's definitely much easier to do that on docker than with apt packages, and docker was designed for thst. Just do a save/load, https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/image/save/ and like I mentioned before this is much more stable than saving some .deb files which will break the moment one of the dependencies gets updated.

Most people will use whatever docker compose file a project shows as default, if the project hosts the images on dockerhub that's their choice. Plus I don't understand what's the problem, GitHub is also proprietary and no one cares that a project is hosted there.
