I went to check (originally) tteck's post-install script the other day - what now is on GitHub as "community-scripts" repo.

Finding it was a bit counter-intuitive, but finding its source even more - I was genuinely surprised they are ALL basically snippet pages with curl | bash style advice.

I went ahead and checked some of the other scripts, the sources often contain tiny looking:

• install script; and
• udpate script.

As in, to audit.

BUT THIS IS NOT AT ALL WHAT ONE GETS TO RUN WHEN EXECUTING THE COPY&PASTE COMMAND - that's whole lot more of it in there.

E.g. for Element Synapse, this is shown (which I get is the gist):

But this is actually run (which makes sense given the above cannot be standalone):

Which in turn means (source at the top) that this is actually run:

And inside of it, there is more curl | bash of yet more pieces - so one would need to download all that (to offline inspect).

I could't find this described anywhere EXCEPT on OLD TTECK'S site:

EDIT As I got corrected in the comments now, it is in the new repo still, just tucked under Wiki and also:

So basically this is running all off the web (at any given point) - EVEN IF YOU DOWNLOAD IT instead of the top-most curl | bash.

Obviously, it is made to be more maintenable (fine), but every time you run this, you are running huge chunk of code from a foreign repository that could have - in the meantime - got compromised. Under root privileges.

I then thought to download it all and change the source and bash references with simple sed, but that's futile as even just the build.func which is used in sort of a framework way - is often changing as can be seen in the GitHub repo - so the big chunk of source is a living code, run off the internet.

Don't get me wrong, nothing about originally tteck's stack, but he was one maintainer and clearly had interest in explaining it all with extra "CODE AUDIT", now it's a "community project", anyone can pile stuff in.

Do you folks condsider / know about this? Cheers!

Original

Update to my previous post about switching to Pangolin. I've had quite a few people commenting on the original or PMing me asking about how things have gone over the last 3-4 days so figured I'd just make an update post.

Overall everything went pretty smooth. Took a few tries getting it all setup but after nuking my first couple attempts and starting from scratch it went off without a hitch by just using the wget command and following the setup in the CLI.

I was initially super impressed with Plex/Jellyfin streaming quality only to realize later that I still had UPnP enabled on my router so it was still being port forwarded.

Once I disabled UPnP and forced Plex/Jellyfin through the VPS/Pangolin setup it took a turn for the worse. The Plex dashboard showed that I had a 10 Gbps connection but I was having a very hard time getting anything to reliably play above 4 Mbps.

I spoke with some folks on Discord that tried to help me diagnose any bottlenecks but ultimately didn't make much progress. So I reenabled UPnP yesterday just at least so my external users could continue to use my services.

I'm happy to report that this morning I disabled UPnP and decided to just try everything again. I'm now able to stream at around 20 Mbps (my home upload is only around 30 Mbps) which is still 4K/HDR for the file in question and should be plenty for remote watching at a hotel or wherever I want to use it. My external users aren't overly quality snobs like me so it'll be more than fine for them.

Confirmed it is going through the VPS setup as my total bandwidth usage continues to rise while playing media. The jury is still out on if 1.95 TB of bandwidth per month will be enough. If not, it isn't expensive to upgrade.

I'm not sure what really changed here other than me rebooting the VPS and the Pangolin stack a few times since trying it last time but I'll take the win.

I used Racknerd for my VPS and my successful attempt was using Ubuntu 20.04. There are tons of options there. They were just the cheapest in my initial limited search. By all means, search around this sub for one that would suit you the best.

Racknerd Black Friday Deals - 2024 (still live)

Racknerd New Year Deals - 2025 (still live)

I also confirmed with Racknerd sales support if I want to upgrade my VPS in the future that I will retain the promo rates which is a little icing on top.

I also found this Youtube video from DB Tech. I didn't end up using it because it was long and slow moving but if you want a true walkthrough, here you go:

I use Cloudflare for everything I host (Tunneling, SSL, DDoS Protection etc.), but on this subreddit I heard a few times that people don't really trust Cloudflare and say that they could decrypt all https requests and thus could e.g. find out what password I use on Vaultwarden when I login.

Is that true and would a company this big actually do that? I plan to try tunneling through Pangolin hosted on a VPS, but then again, how do I know I can trust my VPS provider to not peek on my data? I don't know why but I got really paranoid about everything online.

One of my most recent projects has been to understand the inner workings of DNS (domain name server). I also wanted to spend time with the language Go as it had been on my radar for quite some time.

The project initially started out as a replica of the tool "dig", displaying some information about a DNS response. I then wanted an interface to see all of the information and flow of traffic, which led me to the creation of a web page. This was initially built using vanilla HTML, JS & CSS, but was later rebuilt using React, Vite & Tailwind (all three had also been on my radar).

After ~3.5 months and 300+ commits, I am happy to show this publicly. This project is currently running on my home-server and has been since ~1 month back. Others have also taken interest in the project and has been running their own instances, which has worked great so far.

All and all, this has been a great and fun experience with many new learnings. I will continue to work on it and have quite the amount of planned features. If it sounds interesting then please have a peek at the repository. Would be very appreciative of feedback and thoughts.

So my company provides us with paid weekly hours to contribute to open source projects and we're looking to use our skills and hours to build a new project.

I am an avid browser of this sub and would love to see what you all would like to self-host. Ideally, something that either doesn't exist in the open source world, or is outdated.

For background info - I'd love to develop a new fully open source app under a generous MIT License with my team. We're pretty experienced at work and have developed large scale applications. Since we make money on our main job, my coworkers and I aren't looking to monetize the project -- keeping it open source.

Hey everyone!

I just released OPDShelf, a super simple and lightweight self-hosted OPDS server for your eBook collection. If you want to host your own EPUB/PDF library and access it from any device or e-reader (like KOReader, Marvin, Calibre, etc.), this project might be for you!

Note: This is a very early release — it's still under active development and hasn't been thoroughly tested yet. Expect bugs and missing features. Feedback and contributions are welcome!

Hey r/selfhosted! I recently shared this project on r/opensource and received some positive feedback, with several suggestions to share it here as well since many of you might find it useful.

I wanted to share a side project I've been working on called openleaf - a super minimal browser-based rich text editor.

I needed a quick way to jot notes while browsing without installing apps or logging in. Similar to tools like Notion or Loop, but without any of the setup, sign-ups, downloads or bloat. I also wanted something which makes sharing these notes very easy.

openleaf works by just visiting any URL like openleaf.xyz/anything-you-want and typing. Content saves automatically, and you can return to the same URL later. It supports basic markdown shortcuts and has a command menu for formatting.

This is primarily for my personal use and definitely a hobby project with some bugs. I'll fix issues when I find time and will prioritize certain features if they gain traction or if there's demand to improve specific things.

I just wanted to put a word out for it if anyone else might find it useful. No signups, no downloads - just grab a URL and start typing.

If you want to check it out: openleaf.xyz/info

The project is open-source if anyone's interested. So you can of course clone it and host it on your own hardware for personal use.

Let me know what you think.

P.S.- It's been fun seeing how people are using openleaf in creative ways! There are some interesting "easter egg" notes that users have created at various URLs. I think y'all will enjoy discovering these hidden gems for yourselves as you explore the site. I hope you find it useful!

I have created a script that you can run to check what your hardware is capable of when using the vaapi and correctly setup Jellyfin. I have tested this on Intel & AMD; i have a Rockchip device with an RK3588 but i haven't tested it yet.

The script is based on the information taken from the FFmpeg project and how those profiles are used.

My current self hosted network consists of a few servers (a custom built one and an RPI) and a bunch of clients. The custom server currently acts as a NAS in addition to running a bunch of apps (NextCloud, Jellyfin...). I'm wanting to start using my nextcloud for more critical stuff like photos, and potentially self host BitWarden. I'm not really comfortable doing that until I have a good offsite backup.

I've got the "how" down pretty well, and I know "where" I'll store the data offsite. My question is, WHAT do I back up? My Jellyfin library is pretty straight forward, I'll just store the whole media folder offsite. What about nextcloud? Is it sufficient to clone the docker volume that it's running against? Or do I need a more bespoke script which does a DB export?

More generally, how do you handle this question for your setups? Are you cloning your whole filesystem? Separate backup strategy per-app?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Since last time, I have added a bunch of features, improved error handling, docker installation and several fixes !

Intro:

Personal drive - self hosted google drive alternative. Host your files on your server, share them, view slideshow, create, edit text files etc.

Similar to "file browser".Probably no significant improvement compared to file browser. If you are happy with it, then maybe no real reason to move to this. But will still love your thoughts.

New features:

• Rename functionality
• Drag and Drop to upload
• Duplicate detection and overwriting/abort option
• Edit text files
• Create new files
• Markdown supported
• Move Files between folders

Fixes / Other Improvements:

• Significant changes to docker installation
  • is smaller 2.3GB -> 1.1 GB
  • fixed 2 errors
• Lots of underlying changes
• lots of fixes to validation / security
• Much better error handling
• More tests

Please check it out ! Feel free to star if you find it useful

PS: This is essentially beta. Please avoid using for anything important.

Currently hosting everything at home on my Proxmox server for a few years now:

Samba, Wireguard, 2 PiHoles, Apache web server + reverse proxy, Jellyfin, Uptime Kuma, Home Assistant (VM), arr stack via yams.media (VM), and Minecraft, to name the main ones. I own a domain and use Cloudflare nameservers. If something's particularly sensitive but I want external access (such as a family tree), I put it behind PocketID.

Curious to know:

1) What services do you prefer to host in the cloud rather than on your home server?

2) The benefit(s) you see/security risk/etc, by doing so.
