You say that like anyone considering stealing it would be a rational and semi-intelligent person. But this is America.

Yeah, I didn’t need anything more than the Docker features, so I didn’t bother with Zima. Like with Yuno, Zima is a whole distro on its own instead of an app that can be easily uninstalled.

Was it issues with installing apps or something else?

I will suggest CasaOS. It installs easily, then essentially has an app store (you can add other store sources too). For me it was a gentle way of getting used to the ideas around Docker and how to work with containers. After a bit, you’ll get to where you can set up containers for apps not in the store. Then you might create a whole stack for your Arrs suite. And then maybe you outgrow it entirely. It’s just an app, unlike Yuno, which is a whole distro if I recall correctly.

For public exposure, I use Cloudflare tunnels. Pretty easy to set up (there is a CasaOS package for cloudflared), though the Cloudflare side can get confusing depending on what you want to do.

This is pretty much the same setup I have. 2 bay Synology NAS for storage, mini PC (8gb ram, currently at 48% usage) for applications. Also added an external SSD that I had kicking around.

I’m running:

• gluetun
• sonarr
• radarr
• seerr
• Jellyfin
• deluge
• sabnzbd
• Navidrome
• audiobook shelf
• Calibre Web advanced
• komga
• adguard home (and sync)
• wiki.js
• zoraxy (reverse proxy)
• dockhand
• MeTube
• homarr
• dotdash
• freshrss
• mealie

And then using Synology packages for Drive and Photos.

Honestly, the tape idea is one of the most practical ones in the thread!

Yeah, I’m currently using Wiki.js. I will definitely check out how you’ve got things organized. It looks really good!

Without really knowing much about it, I just always figured it was overkill for me. Plus I don’t know that I’d even consider myself much more of a beginner with Docker. But you all are making me consider looking into it.

Ha. I’ve been reading through thinking, “Yeah, maybe I should finally look into Ansible.” And then I get here. :D

Trust me, this is all about me being incompetent.

| migrating from storing them in portainer’s internal store to using git (and dockhand)

This is exactly why I’m asking, actually! I’ve been working over the past couple of weeks to move everything that I had done under CasaOS to independent compose files in Dockhand. Yesterday I ran into a couple of things that must have been Casa-specific but I had no record of it and I’ll be honest, my memory is garbage.

I had started out with CasaOS and ran it for a year or so. Last week, I took some time to move everything out of Casa’s file structure and cleaned up the compose files.

For container management, I’m using Dockhand. It’s been great.

Otherwise, like most others have said, SSH when I need to do more.

Ha. Heard. I mostly don’t want to carry another device when I travel for work, so will use my phone to read.

I moved all my books out of Amazon last year and host them for my family with Calibre Web. Jailbroke my Kindle and use KOreader exclusively, so I use Sync so that if I need to read while I’m out, I can just pick up on my phone.

What’s the flow there? Receive link, copy, open MeTube, paste, download watch?

Tiktok and Instagram links are so frustrating when friends send them.

KOreader Sync if you use KOreader. Easily pick up where you leave off on other devices!

I also run Wiki.js to (inconsistently) document what I’m doing with my apps and server.

Maybe you’ve already looked into this, but my concern with your plan is the idea of packing up and moving to a new site and platform. What happens to existing users and post history? Building a community only to tell them they need to start all over could be detrimental.

My project for the week is getting Matrix and Continuwuity set up. Half-hearted initial attempts have been unsuccessful with the Continuwuity container just in constant restarts.

I am unreasonably angry about the stretched icons.

For basically as long as they’ve been around, I’ve mostly dismissed the Murphys as “too Boston” (which, in this sense, means dickish Boston Irish). But these last few years have really shown me I was just an idiot and they are exactly the kind of Boston Irish I want around.

I’ve been using Tusky for the last couple of years, but decided to give OpenVibe another go to keep Mastodon and Bluesky in one place.

OpenVibe is alright. Next to no customization, a little slow to load when first opening, and the scrolling animation is…I’m not even sure how to describe it. Artificial? It almost looks laggy even though it’s responsive.
