So my homeserver isn't big and extravagant, but I'm accessing things just using "192.168.1.XXX".

I would like to access things using something like "nas.mydomain.com". I do have my own actual registered domain for a business I have, but my house is behind a CGNAT so I have to use Tailscale to access it outside my house.

What would be the best way to set this up? Changing A records on my real domain to my Tailscale IPs? Setting up PiHole with DNS forwarding? Something like dnsmasq?

Update: I think I'm going to go with PiHole via Docker Compose on my Raspberry Pi (which I also use as a Tailscale gateway). I just tried it out and it seems to be good.

Sunday. 512 mb ram is not enough.

(As selfhosted doesn’t allow pictures anymore I posted them here: https://www.reddit.com/r/beatnikAudio/s/zO2NOcRH7C)

For those who have no idea what i’m talking about : I’m trying to build an open source sonos alternative, mainly software (based on snapcast), currently focusing on hardware (based on pi). I’m summarizing it here: r/beatnikAudio

What I did this week: A. Preparing play store test pipeline (android compiled) B. Started appstore processes (mock service for reviewers, app store scrennshotes, texts, privacy policy etc.) C. New speakers! And LP player. (Ugly folio on it and an intresting story to it) D. Stress test. Found out that a Pi Zero (512 mb ram) as server may not is enough to handle a lot of requests (especially multiple controller apps & streams running at the same time). So I do not recommend using a pi zero as a snapcast /beatnik-pi server. E. Started new case design. I’m happy again. It looks like a pi case now, which makes sense. F. Almost done with the first version of the website. G. Wrote the snapcast dude / maintainer that I exist. Said thank you. Offered to talk. I think this is polite. Main dependency.

So the software side is running smooth. The controller repo is approaching feature completeness for my milestone „Snapacast configuration“. Implented almost all possible jsonRpc requests and websocket notifications from the snapcast API in my snapcast service:https://github.com/byrdsandbytes/beatnik-controller/blob/master/src/app/services/snapcast.service.ts

On the beatnik-pi repo I added instructions on how to setup the new selfhosted version of beantnik-controller using docker compose. (Step 8) https://github.com/byrdsandbytes/beatnik-pi

Also the first contributions, suggestions and improvements on the beatnik-pi repo from other users. 🥳

Hardware. Still struggling but trying a new approach. Disintegrate everything so it’s standalone. A bit like microservice or container architecture for hardware. (Hope i can explain this properly next time)

Pretty cool that people (you) understand what I’m trying to do and even answer questions, of other users. Thank you. 🤝

I've mini PC that runs most of my services, with few external hard drives connected to it for all the media, backups etc. I also have Pi 3, that runs my main Adguard Home instance. Then a VPS with reverse proxy, crowdsec, uptime kuma.

It all works quite well and is good enough for my needs, I only have 2 people using the system.

I have 300€ to spend on something, and trying to think about what would bring good value. Maybe a NAS enclosure to consolidate hard drives, or a newer Raspberry Pi....

I don't want to buy UPS as I don't run anything critical, and power in my area goes out maybe once every couple of years.

Any ideas appreciated...

After some research, I finally decided to purchase a NAS and install Jellyfin. Now I want more. I recently found out about DDNS (I have a non-static WAN IP) and bought a custom domain from Cloudflare. I plan on setting up DDNS in my router to point something like ddns.example.com to my public IP. Then only port forward 51820 and keep everything else like Jellyfin and my NAS' dashboard internally. However, instead of typing in the local IP manually, I want to use my domain name like nas.example.com or jellyfin.example.com. When I connect to my SMB share I also want to connect using smb.example.com. Am I on the right track here with setting up ddns.example.com so WireGuard works correctly when my IP changes?

I also watched WunderTech's video for reverse proxy SSL certs, and it seems like the right direction. I just want to keep everything local to the "intranet", using WireGuard to connect to my home when I'm on hotel or public WiFi.

It seems too good to be true, oracle cloud's competitors (like aws light sail) free tiers are ass compared to oracle's. So why doesn't every restaurant or whatnot just host their web server on oracle cloud instead of other platforms? There has to be a catch.

I do know that AWS lightsail, despite their paid version being worse than Oracle Cloud, does have a gotcha, in that if you go over your egress limits you do have to pay. Does Oracle Cloud have any gotchas like this, or is Oracle Cloud genuinely a steal?

edit: I was also wondering, what if I go past my egress limit or what if my server gets hacked and someone starts pushing the CPU, will this cloud platform just automatically add more CPU power to the server or add more egress and auto charge me for that or will they just stop running my server once the limits are hit?Asking cause they require my credit card info when I am signing up.

I see a lot of talk here about SeaFile/NextCloud, etc. but it's unclear to me what advantages this software has over a SMB/NFS network share. Will I be missing out on any important or useful features if I just set up a network share on a home server and connect it to a VPN so I can access it from anywhere?

So, Broadcom announced that they want to pull the plug on the free images and charts that the Bitnami was offering up until this point.

https://github.com/bitnami/charts/issues/35164

So, ocnsidering they've been maintaining around 300 images up till now, is there any guide on migrating away from them? Any list that'd allow one to match the old Bitnami images with alternatives?

I know the images will still be fine for some time, and there are some community efforts to fork the Bitnami images, but it's hardly expectable for community to keep and maintain 300 forks.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this! Initially, I considered utilizing a static site builder like Docusaurus, but I found that the deployment process was more time-consuming and more steps. Therefore, I’ve decided to use outline instead.

My goal is to simplify the self-hosting experience, while also empowering others to see how technology can enhance our lives and make learning new things an enjoyable journey.

I made a video about copyparty, the selfhosted fileserver I’ve been making for the past 5 years. I've mentioned it in comments from time to time, but never actually made a post, so here goes!

The main focus of the video is the features, but it also touches upon configuration. Was hoping it would be easier to follow than the readme on github.

This video is also available to watch on the copyparty demo server, as a high-quality AV1 file and a lower-quality h264.

I am slowly getting into self hosting/home server stuff as I try and Degoogle and reclaim my data. I have made a plan on setting up a basic home server and would like any tips or recommendations (security, convenience, backups).

So my proposed setup is:

• Raspberry Pi 5 (or a mini PC)
• Immich (replace Google Photos)
• Filebrowser/Syncthing (replace Google Drive)
• Plex
• Tailscale

For backups I plan to manually connect external hard drives and run an rsync script to backup files and photos. I am not really concerned with making these files available to other people or hoarding data (max 50Gb of data). My main concern is ease of maintenance (backups, updates) and security.

So do you have any tips/pointer on getting this system setup.

I want to start in the world of networks and servers and for that I got a PC with the following main features:

• AMD ryzen 5 5600g
• 16GB ddr4 ram
• 240gb nvme SSD disk
• WD Green 480gb SSD
• WD Blues 1tb HDD Disk *In the future the idea is to add a modest graphics card such as a super gtx 1650 or an rx 6400

The idea is to learn about the deployment and different uses of home or small business servers. Such as:

• Create my own Google Drive using Nextcloud
• Create a VPN
• Host game servers
• Host websites
• Host a media server (using Jellyfin, radar, sonar, etc.)
• Use automated flows like n8n.
• Maybe run some AI models.
• Learn to use docker.

I have seen different options in various tutorials, forums, news. From rhel, Ubuntu server to TrueNAS Scale. That some are better for some services than others, that others have a better friendly native interface, that compatibility, deployment, etc. etc. Frankly, I get dizzy and I don't know where to start and in what order to have a less complicated learning curve to gradually advance. Anyone who is already advanced on this path and can give me some guidance, guidance or advice, please, thank you very much.

Hello to all, As many here I have a nas at home hosting documents, family photos, and more.

My important stuff being the documents and photos, standing currently at 800GB and growing at around 50GB a year.

Following the 3-2-1 backup strategy, i need an offsite backup. I currently swap an external HDD at my in laws once a year, which is suboptimal

Looking into cloud offering everything is crazy expensive (i.e costs as much as buying a new drive every 6 months). Even looking into cold storage services, the prices don't drop much.

I'm starting to think about some exotic solutions like storing my HDD in 1 sealed box buried in my garden. This is not technically off-site, but good enough (fire and lightning proof).

Any tips for a good price/convenience compromise?

Hi all,

Some of you probably know Maybe Finance – it's an open source, self-hosted personal finance application run by Josh Pigford. He recently shared the last release of the app and announced that the company will pivot into a B2B financial forecasting app.

What this means for the open source repository is that it will no longer be maintained and it's offered as is, in the v0.6.0 release.

As for me, I'll keep listing it on OpenAlternative, but will add info that it's no longer maintained.

At least until someone forks it and tries to develop this great piece of software further.

Cheers!

Short recap for those who haven't heard of Gameyfin yet (and a big thanks to everyone who already supports it!):

Gameyfin is essentially Jellyfin for your video games (hence the name). I know there are a lot of similar projects nowadays, but when I started developing Gameyfin, it was the first of its kind.

Gameyfin v1 was intentionally minimalistic because it met my personal needs at the time. However, as my own requirements evolved - and as users began asking for more features - it became clear that the old codebase couldn't support future development. So, I started building a completely new version from scratch, designed to be more future-proof and expandable.

🔧 Key Features:

✨ Automatically scans and indexes your game libraries

⬇️ Access your library via your web browser & download games directly

👥 Share your library with friends & family

⚛️ LAN-friendly (everything is cached locally - except for videos)

🐋 Runs in a container or on any system with a JVM

🌈 Themes, including colorblind-friendly options

🔌 Easily expandable with plugins

🔒 Integrates with your SSO solution via OAuth2 / OpenID Connect

🆓 100% open-source and free - no paywalls, ever

📷 Screenshots and documentation available at gameyfin.org

Feedback is always welcome! Please use Issues for bug reports and Discussions for feature requests.

Hi everyone! It’s been a few months since the first stable release of vangogh, a self-hostable service to sync, explore, and manage your DRM-free GOG library (more information on GitHub). theo is a CLI client for installing vangogh games on your macOS and Linux/Steam Deck devices.

I’ve been steadily evolving both projects, and wanted to share highlights from the last several updates.

New features & improvements

• Consistently fresh metadata: vangogh now auto-refreshes all external metadata (Steam, OpenCritic, PCGamingWiki, etc.) every 30 days, keeping your collection metadata fresh with no extra effort.
• Game staff credits from Wikipedia: you can now see game creators by role — and jump into their other projects with a click.
• Revamped product pages with clearer structure, even faster loads, and text badges summarizing each section (e.g. “Positive” reception, "Verified" Steam Deck compatibility).
• Improved downloads: you can now see products queued/downloading/downloaded state at a glance on a produce card. CLI now allows redownloading individual GOG.com file links (manual-urls) to avoid redownloading large products. Downloads of macOS large products (e.g. Cyberpunk 2077) have been fixed.
• View transitions support adds smooth page transitions (and respects your "Reduce Motion" OS settings!).
• Better disk usage: Older unused installers and the recycle bin are gone — freeing up potentially gigabytes of space.
• Search results with one match now auto-redirect.
• SteamOS compatibility now included alongside Steam Deck. SteamOS compatibility is Valve program for devices that run SteamOS (e.g. Legion Go S).
• GOG Mods support added for GOG Mods that display the new MOD badge (otherwise they work identical to "normal" products)
• Revamped WINE binaries storage service for theo.
• theo has greatly simplified CLI API with fewer, simpler commands - e.g. install will install native or Windows version depending on what's available. run will start what's installed, etc.
• theo now uses proton-ge-custom by default on Linux and will soon switch to WINE macOS builds with DXMT on macOS.

Next quarter focus areas

• More admin features - ability to view logs, track current sync, download progress per file. Stretch goal: adding CLI commands to the web UI
• Consistent local files hashing - mitigate GOG checksums gaps, add a new stable layer of validation. Strech goal: Check and eliminate duplicate files to save storage
• Proper authentication - ability to add users with specific roles and partition data per user. This is a requiement for per-user Cloud Saves. Stretch goal: start adding Cloud Saves support with theo.
• Stretch: GUI for theo - I feel pretty good with the current state of theo as a CLI tool in terms of reliability and feature completeness, which is a great signal to start adding GUI on top of that stable foundation, I've got some ideas to explore, stay tuned.

Thanks again for following along. Here’s to keeping games alive, one archive at a time!

Hey, r/selfhosted!

Long time reader, first time poster. I've made a little tool in my spare time that I'd like to share with the community. Maybe it will be useful for someone.

In short, it's a self-hosted parser/organizer for invoices, receipts and other financial documents, which saves me a lot of time and nerves as a freelance coder and indie hacker.

I wrote the long story of how I came up with this idea on my blog, but there have been several new updates since then and I finally decided to show it to the wider community.

The main idea that differentiates TaxHacker from other similar AI-parsers is that I wanted to make a tool that gives the user 100% control over all aspects:

• Data privacy - my documents are stored on my home server and accessible as simple files even if the app is dead, no proprietary formats
• Unlimited structure - I didn't want to be limited to my predefined database structure once and forever, I wanted to be able to create any new columns, categories and fields at any time (like good old Excel)
• Fully customizable LLM prompts - even the main system prompt can be changed in two clicks in the settings if I don't like it. I don't like tools that decide for me how they should work, that's why I consider it a killer feature - every field, every category and project can have its own prompt that explains how to parse it properly. I've created a preset of everything, but the user is free to change and delete any fields (including breaking the app completely :D)

I also coded a couple of nice additional features: 1. automatic currency converter, which detects if the invoice is in a foreign currency and converts it at the historical rate for that date (I live in Europe where it's pretty popular use-case) 2. invoice generator, simply because I didn't want to deploy a separate app for this 3. recognizer and separator of items in the invoice, so you can clearly see which items are tax deductible, and which are not. 4. CSV import/export, so you can try importing your transactions from a banking app

I put everything on Github: https://github.com/vas3k/TaxHacker

There's a docker-compose file that will help you get everything up in one command. I really need beta testers right now to bug report me on Github Issues, because I'm still not sure about stability of the app :)

Looking forward for your feedback!

P.S.: Yes, I also deployed a "SaaS 🤡" version there because I got some requests from my non-techie friends who are not skilled in selfhosting, so I just gave them access behind a paywall. But I don't really have any real users there yet, it's purely a hobby project :)

Just so everyone's aware, there's a spamming scammer on this subreddit - u/OtisMilburn-15 has been pushing SMTPget for over a year, making hundreds of posts recommending it to selfhosters. Sometimes he pretends to be unbiased by listing other services, but he always puts SMTPget first and hypes it up.

In the past, his account made a random post in an Indian actor subreddit to seem neutral, which further confirms that he's the owner, because the SMTPget website itself has an Indian phone number (even though they pretend to be a Florida, US company).

It's completely obvious he's the owner or directly part of the team.

SMTPget is a fake SMTP service with terrible reviews. According to all reviews, they don't deliver anything and just take your money. Their plans are all very expensive and the website is literally just a front to take money and not deliver anything!

They don't even accept safe payments like PayPal or credit cards. They ONLY accept GIFT CARDS and Crypto. Very fitting for an Indian scammer indeed. 🤣

Here's the Trustpilot page. EVERY REVIEW is 1-star explaining how his scam works, where people have lost $180, $600, $1000 etc when they thought they bought a large capacity bulk mailing service but got nothing at all, and were told to send more money to cover "extra charges" etc... there's only two fake 5-star reviews (both are from Indian usernames):

👉 https://www.trustpilot.com/review/smtpget.com

(One review mentions that there used to be a lot of 5-star reviews, so Trustpilot has clearly gone in and deleted a ton of fake bot reviews. Great!)

And here's another huge warning on Sitejabber:

👉 https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/smtpget.com

Here's an example of a victim on Reddit:

👉 https://www.reddit.com/r/coldemail/comments/1iogp47/smtpget_is_a_scam/

I've blocked him and reported him to the selfhosted mods. His entire posting history is just pushing SMTPget. He adds no value to the community and should be banned, and his post history in selfhosted should be deleted to protect people.

My second reason for making this post is to give him some nice Google SEO results to perhaps warn some future victims.

Edit: Holy shit, some Reddit admins must be reading this subreddit. 😎 Or perhaps people started mass-reporting him and triggered an automated suspension? Either way, his account has been up for 1 year and received a site-wide ban 30 minutes after this post, and his entire post history has been nuked by Reddit (I checked, they're all marked "Comment removed by moderator" in every subreddit he's spammed), lmao. That's great news for protecting people. :) He was active and making posts a few hours ago, so I'm happy to say that he'll get a nice surprise next time he tries to use Reddit. ;)

Edit: I checked in my normal tab and incognito. This thread is now the 3rd and 5th search results for "smtpget" on Google. Hope I made your day, scammer! This is what you get for spamming me earlier today. 🤣

Honestly never thought I would be a self hoster. For the very first time I set up a jellyfin home server with tailscale VPN and honestly it was so easy.

Literally took me an hour to get everything up and running. I never thought it would be that easy. The jellyfin IOS client has some issues but definitely not a big deal.
