hydrogen , 17 days ago to Selfhosted in How do I do a bare-metal install (Debian) without a monitor+keyboard?

Take out the hard drive out of your laptop and put the drive for the server in it, install Debian using the built in monitor and keyboard of your laptop.

I've a Dreame L10s Ultra flashed with it, very happy with my purchase. A bit scary to install everything but if you read the instructions before doing it you should be fine :)

hydrogen , 2 months ago to Selfhosted in Are there any FreshRSS frontend/clients?

RSS Guard seems to have support for Google Reader API, so FreshRSS is also supported. It's also a Qt application. You can also find other clients on the 3rd party clients page of FreshRSS

On Linux I use NewsFlash

hydrogen , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Backup solutions

There are a lot of different methodes you could try. I think the easiest is to connect both systems with a (mesh)VPN like Wireguard, ZeroTier or Tailscale. Then you can simply copy stuff over using rsync -a (archive mode) with a cronjob or using special tools like Borg backup, kopia, etc

I don't think there is an app for something like that, but maybe you can try using Penpot in a browser?

hydrogen , 4 months ago to Privacy in Github vs. Email Aliases

I had the same issue with my Anonaddy alias, I just made an alias using my domain name and works fine now. It's unfortunate that so many project are on shithub.

n8n.io is great, but not open source.

You can use Universal Android Debloater. Most apps have a description of what it does and if it's safe to remove or not. Already debloated a few Samsung phones with it, works great :)

hydrogen , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Looking for a music solution

I use deemon to download my music from Deezer (free account only supports 128kb/s, this is enough for me though).

For the music server I tried both Jellyfin with the Finamp app and Navidrome with the Tempo app on Android.

For desktop app for both I use SonixD/Feishin (crossplatform)

Both where fantastic solutions but I stuck with Navidrome as it was easier to share playlists. (As an URL for non registered users or as public playlist for all registered users)

My setup is as following:
Hypervisor: Proxmox VE
NAS: TrueNAS Scale (where all music is stored)

1 LXC container with Deemon installed that downloads music in mounted NFS share from TrueNAS

1 VM with Navidrome installed in Docker with the music folder mounted with NFS

You don't have to use such a setup, you can perfectly do this on your existing PC with Windows, MacOS or Linux with DE. Or server OS like Linux with CLI, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS Scale or unRAID

What software do you use for the thin client part? I'm really happy with Moonlight, just Wayland support (no cursor) is a little broken.

hydrogen , 5 months ago to Privacy in I am looking for a privacy respecting android tv box/stick

A few months ago I bought a second hand Nvidia Shield TV (€40), flashed LineageOS on it. Very happy with the device, especially the performance.

I use Jellyfin, SmartTubeNext and some VOD TV apps from my country. I've Adguard Home on my Proxmox server (can also be a Raspberry Pi) that I use for DNS adblocking, so we can watch VOD TV without any ads. Works really well :)

We've switched to this from cable TV and my family loves it, we can watch anything we want without any ads and FREE!

Only problem (not for me) is that Netflix doesn't work on it without GAPPS.
