I'm relaxing on a Thursday night by deploying another service into my personal cloud.

Since I bet heavily on the value of learning Python, about 20 years ago; I love how much of this stuff is in Python, today.

In unserer täglichen Arbeit versuchen wir, Websysteme so aufzubauen, dass wir möglichst viel selbst kontrollieren können.

Das bedeutet für uns: so wenig unnötige Drittanbieter-Abhängigkeiten wie möglich, getrennte Systeme, eigene Lösungen dort, wo es sinnvoll ist, und Fehlerfrüherkennung statt erst dann zu reagieren, wenn ein Dienst bereits ausgefallen ist.

Gerade die vielen Störungen der letzten Zeit zeigen immer wieder, wie schnell ein eigentlich funktionierendes Webprojekt durch einen externen Dienst mitgerissen werden kann.

Im neuen Admin-Blog-Beitrag habe ich unsere Haltung dazu zusammengefasst:
„Unabhängige Websysteme: Warum wir möglichst wenig aus der Hand geben“

Wir behaupten dabei nicht, dass sich jeder Fehler verhindern lässt. Entscheidend ist für uns vielmehr, Systeme zu verstehen, Abhängigkeiten bewusst zu wählen und im Störungsfall selbst handeln zu können.

My very favourite project at the moment is PocketID: https://pocket-id.org/

Self-hosted, simple OIDC provider one can easily point all their web apps and self-hosted apps at for authentication. Supports passkeys too, so very easy for me to stick my Yubi/NitroKeys in front of everything.

For apps that don't support OIDC I use TinyAuth ( https://tinyauth.app/ ), which supports PocketID, with a simple redirect i n nginx.

My PeerTube instance has been down for a while due to some kind of internot obeah but, as is tradition, I burnt it to the ground and started over.

All the old content, pirate radio tapes, inpc/Liotia music etc. will reappear in due course but also my follow lists are trashed so if you do take an interest in my funny noises, please re-follow the instance.

Also, feel free to add your PeerTube instances below so I can start following again. Shares most welcome. They're will be new stuff soon...

Here's the recent stream my band, Liotia, did for NHAM back in July. Cheers!

TIL about ".home.arpa" top-level domain (RFC 8375) for you home LAN domain. I never bothered setting up a domain on my home router. Giving this a try to help name resolution. There are arguments for using a real domain that you've purchased doing something like .lan.myrealdomainname.com so the you don't have to worry about certs and browsing just "works" but I'll give this a try first just to test the waters. FAFO as they say.

It's an impressive endeavour, but the translations have me just opening up Google Translate for clarification more often than not.

💾 What if this September you started building your own infrastructure?

Back to projects, new ideas, and maybe a new homelab. 👀

With Slimbook CUBE, you can bring together storage, backups, self-hosted services, and even local AI in a single system, while keeping more control over your data.

Build the setup you actually need, run the services you want, and keep your data where it belongs: with you.

And yes, CUBE is currently 100€ off for a limited time.

🚀 New season. New projects. Your own infrastructure.

Hm, ich habe mein Pachli so konfiguriert, dass es Unified Push nutzt. Das läuft über ntfy. Nun habe ich hier meinen eigenen ntfy Server aufgesetzt. Der läuft auch sauber. Den Zugang habe ich per User und Passwort geschützt, damit ihn nicht jeder einfach nutzen kann.
Da ich den inzwischen als Standard Server in der ntfy App eingestellt habe ist Pachli automatisch mit umgestellt auf den Server. Seit dem laufen die Notifications nicht mehr. Nun gibt es zwei Möglichkeiten. Entweder Pachli hat meiner Instanz noch nicht mitgeteilt, dass es einen neuen Server nutzt, oder die Instanz kann schlicht und ergreifend keine notifications absetzen, durch den geschützten Zugang. Da muss ich mal etwas genauer analysieren. Muss ja irgendwie gehen.
Da gleiche scheint auch bei Element X (Matrix) der Fall zu sein. Ich hoffe ich bekomme beides in einem Aufwasch gelöst.

GitHub, today, experienced issues with Actions and Pages. The failures this month are pretty noticeable, clocking in at less than 94% uptime (with 17 documented outages this month alone). Add in that I'm finally feeling the effects of *not* following the #localfirst / #selfhosting ideas, and I'm seriously pondering dropping the use of GitHub.

The one benefit of GitHub that I'm not sure I can replace is discoverability. I'm not convinced I gain enough from that right now, and could use some opinions from the world at large:

If you're on GitHub, how does it benefit you? What do you get out of it that you would not get from (for example) Forgejo? And if you're off of GitHub, what are you using? And which VPS provider do you use for it, if any?

I don't need the VPS to be huge. I have a machine that I'm going to reformat and can set it up as the runner for all the actions. I just need to have a public facing place that is more reliable (or at least that I can do something about if things go sideways). All it'll run is Forgejo and two public facing static websites.

Looking for any insights that could help me make a better informed decision.

I had this idea last night: It'd be cool to give away web hosting spots to individuals or groups doing cool things who can't afford the hosting bills. - Clubs, neat blogs, etc

But if folks can't afford a hosting plan, they probably don't have a domain name either. Endless subdomains would become nebulous to manage pretty quickly if you scaled up.

At 10:15 I added a gently condescending toast for IPv4-only visitors. It called ipify, which felt inappropriate for someone running an ASN.

By 13:27 I had built a Rust/Axum IP service, put it behind Caddy, added MaxMind, three DNS names, trusted-proxy handling, an rc.d service, and a dedicated dual-stack FreeBSD VNET jail.

The toast looks exactly the same.

It's been a while since updating the @nextcloud apps has become very annoying. I don't understand why I should enter the password for each app that is being updated individually.

It started as a gag: a tiny popup telling IPv4 visitors that their provider hasn't yet discovered 1998.

To do that honestly I needed something to echo the client address.

Using ipify felt wrong when you run your own AS. So now it's a service. 🙃

Did take a couple of hours but i reworked some parts of my Borgbackup scripts yesterday. Instead of having one big setup i splitted it so that every service has its own script, which starts / stops the dockers and has the correct patterns to only backup what is really necessary.

My Jellyfin server works like a charm at home but it's very buggy remotely. I see OpenVPN sucking 20% of CPU and ffmpeg at 10%. Tomorrow, I'll move the instance to a more beefy server with a 3060 Ti to offload transcoding and it has a more powerful CPU. But the data disks are on USB. If that doesn't work, I'll create a second Jellyfin instance in the remote LAN directly to have full bandwidth.

First off, how many drives do you think are in the box? Since the right answer has to be in the list, I put a lot of options in to raise the difficulty a bit.

#selfhosting #homelab #selfhost

Ok. It's always fun to post stuff like this here, because there will be some #selfhosting afficionado who replies "You are like little baby. This is what real man has." But here goes.

When hard drives die on me, I don't throw them away and I don't take them to the county e-waste dropoff. There's a company nearby that will take them, certify that they destroy them, and dispose of the waste properly. So I have this box in my garage that accumulates dead drives until I'm ready to go drop them off. It's getting kinda full.

When I went to add a couple to the box tonight, I took an inventory. Wanna guess some stats about the box of dead drives? Remember that some of these are old enough to vote. Others are old enough to walk to school. None are in diapers.

Here are some fun polls related to all my dead drives. First, a couple photos. Polls will be in replies.

Subject: More on Nicolium
For: #selfhosting and/or #Fediverse power users

I've tested and tweaked #Nicolium, a front end for Pleroma and other Fediverse back ends. With the tweaks in place, it works well for me. I'll share some of them in patch form at a later date.

Features include hashtag follow, emoji reactions, borders on focused posts, Markdown, WYSIWYG editor, real-time chat, draft posts, URL cleaning, direct messages, enhanced interaction policies, theme editor with export support, image ALT-text button, profile avatars inline next to mentions, and different ways to handle load or display of new posts.

There is also a multi-column Deck feature, but that is more of a work in progress.

The attached screenshot shows what my tweaked Nicolium presently looks like. The panel at the top is one of the tweaks. I added it to hold link buttons for different purposes.

To see a larger copy, in Chromium or Firefox derivatives, left-click on the image. To see a full-size copy, right-click on the image, select Open in New Window, and resize the new window.

Trick for advanced users:

The screenshot shows a /tags/ URL in the location bar. FYI The combination of Pleroma [as back end] and Soapbox or Nicolium [as front end] displays URLs of this type in response to hashtag operations, but the URLs don't work if you reuse them.

If you encounter this issue, URLs of this type can be made to work by adding the following location block before other location blocks in your "nginx" or "angie" server ".conf" file:

location ~ ^/tags/(.*)$ {
    return 301 /tag/$1;
}
