I updated to the 28.0.0 version, and some containers started to have dns issues. In my case, I could notice Grafana and CloudFlare tunnel were not working and kept restarting.

Both were having the same error: 127.0.0.11:53: server misbehaving

I added this dns entry in the daemon.json, restarted the docker service and it works now. "dns": [ "127.0.0.1", "1.1.1.1", "1.0.0.1", "8.8.8.8", "8.4.4.8" ]

I've been on the hunt for a good backup solution for local backups of my systems and I'm struggling to find something that fits my needs.

What I'm looking for:

• Has to support Mac and PC clients.
• I want a GUI to manage scheduling and recovery.
• Backup triggers that do not require the device to online at a specific time.
• The option for full system and specific folder backups.
• Support for a Synology NAS as the backup target.
• I have a metered connection so I don't want to do online backups.
• I'm OK with two separate apps running in concert to meet my needs (one thing that does full system snapshots, another that backups specific directories).

I have two main devices I'm going to want to backup and the needs are different. I have a Mac laptop that I'd be fine with only backing up at a specific time. A single rolling snapshot would be fine for this device. I also have a gaming PC that I only need specific directories backed up but I can't just schedule it to run every night at 2AM because if I'm not using it I turn the system off.

I've tried a couple different things with mixed results.

1. Veeam. This was my most recent attempt and I found the client to be unreliable. It also has to be backed up on a schedule (or manually triggered) if you're just using the local clients. The full Backup and Replication service is Windows only and I don't have a Windows box I can dedicate to running this. So Veeam is out.
2. Time Machine. For a while I was using Time Machine at least for the Mac and while it works reasonably well most of the time it has one frustrating issue: A couple times a year it will decided the old backup volume on my Synology is no longer acceptable and I'll need to delete it and reinitialize a backup. I can't use an unreliable backup tool.
3. Synology Active Backup. It works... Fine. While it can't backup every hour or couple of hours it can backup when you first start it up and so forth so at least I don't need to make sure my PC is up and running for it to work. However, I really want more scheduling options and it has other annoyances. I had to go in and allow kernel extensions on my Mac which was annoying and after updates (to my Synology) the backups will start failing and I need to re-approve the cert.
4. Synology Drive. I use this as a Dropbox replacement and it works OK. I'm still looking at alternatives (Nextcould ran like crap when I threw it into Docker). I don't want to do everything in its directory but I might if it comes to that.

In an ideal world I'd have one app that can do what I need for all my systems but I'm willing to divide and conquer if that's what it takes. I'm also OK buying something if it'll do what I need, but so far I haven't found anything that feels worth the price tag.

So let's discuss alternatives to iCloud services offered:

• Device Backup : windows vm with WiFi iTunes backup?
• iCloud Drive : Proton Drive? Syncthing? I don't use or want to use nextcloud.
• Notes : Obsidian (how to share?)
• Photos : Immich
• Reminders : unsure
• Safari Bookmarks : unsure
• Siri Shortcuts : unsure
• Voice Memos : irrelevant for me
• Wallet Passes : unsure

iOS/icloud makes life easier as everything is integrated especially as a family of iOS users. Recent news doesn't come as a surprise to be honest so looking at the best balance of privacy vs usability (if possible).

Basically, the title. I'm pivoting our company to do more self-hosted products based on demand and feedback we've gathered for our previous products. I'd like to make a great developer/user experience from setup to teardown.

So—I'm looking to hear which apps/services you had really great experience with getting going, and what made it a great experience? Concrete examples are good...I'd love to be able to refer to people or companies that are doing it really well, and learn from their success.

Note, this is different from the most valuable or favorite app, though they very well could be the same.

Finally got around to trying by u/SvilenMarkov/

First off this is such a great tool and gives me all the things I ever wanted in a personal dashboard. I remember waaaaay back in the day, I think it was google who launched a personalized start page where you could give it some basic information like your zip code and you would have a weather forecast widget and you could put links and stuff. It was really minimal but in my head I wanted so much more.

Today we have tons of start pages, especially in the selfhosted arena. Many if not most that get talked about in r/selfhosted are geared towards the apps we self host and monitoring them to an extent. Glance though, to me anyway, is like a blank canvas and a complete set of paints, pens, pencils and crayons. I can make this thing show everything I ever wanted.

One of the great things about self hosting is learning new things and exercising muscles we perhaps dont often have to. My experience with Glance went like this:

1. install and look at the defaults "Wow this is neat"
2. Look at the documentation and see what else I can do (lightbulbs start popping over my head)
3. Like eight hours later I have an API key from the train and bus authority where I live, I have a decent python script to get what I want from the api (train times, alerts and delays, realtime information about individual trains and train stops, etc), an installed and configured rsshub installation to turn the API json into an rss feed, an apache https container to host my rss, a few cronjobs, logging and notifications in case things start to awry and BOOM my first custom page in Glance showing a bunch of local info about my town, local government and school calendars and train times and all that.

I LOVE it when an app can excite me and get my creative juices flowing.

Thanks to the dev(s) of Glance and to this community for praising it in the past which lead me to try it.

Hey amazing people! Thanks so much for the support on our GRPO release 2 weeks ago! Today, we're excited to announce that you can now train your own reasoning model with just 5GB VRAM for Qwen2.5 (1.5B) - down from 7GB in the previous Unsloth release! GRPO is the algorithm behind DeepSeek-R1 and how it was trained.

The best part about GRPO is it doesn't matter if you train a small model as you just need more training time. You can also leave it running in the background of your PC while you do other things.

1. Due to our newly added Efficient GRPO algorithm, this enables 10x longer context lengths while using 90% less VRAM vs. every other GRPO LoRA/QLoRA implementations.
2. With a GRPO setup using TRL + FA2, Llama 3.1 (8B) training at 20K context length demands 510.8GB of VRAM. However, Unsloth’s 90% VRAM reduction brings the requirement down to just 54.3GB in the same setup.
3. We leverage our gradient checkpointing algorithm which we released a while ago. It smartly offloads intermediate activations to system RAM asynchronously whilst being only 1% slower. This shaves a whopping 372GB VRAM since we need num_generations = 8. We can reduce this memory usage even further through intermediate gradient accumulation.
4. Try our free GRPO notebook with 10x longer context: Llama 3.1 (8B) on Colab

Blog for more details on the algorithm, the Maths behind GRPO, issues we found and more:

GRPO VRAM Breakdown:

| Metric | 🦥 Unsloth | TRL + FA2 | |

|

|

| | Training Memory Cost (GB) | 42GB | 414GB | | GRPO Memory Cost (GB) | 9.8GB | 78.3GB | | Inference Cost (GB) | 0GB | 16GB | | Inference KV Cache for 20K context (GB) | 2.5GB | 2.5GB | | Total Memory Usage | 54.3GB (90% less) | 510.8GB |

• Also we spent a lot of time on our Guide for everything on GRPO + reward functions/verifiers so would highly recommend you guys to read it: docs.unsloth.ai/basics/reasoning

Thank you guys once again for all the support it truly means so much to us! 🦥

• I use Lidarr for albums (FLAC where possible).
• I use LidaTube to get yt-dlp quality albums where FLAC or high-quality MP3s are not available.
• For new music, I use Lidify to add new artists to my Lidarr library.
• I recently started using the new Spotspot app to search Spotify for new tracks and quickly add them to my server.
• I use Jellyplist for playlists.

For clients, I use Plex with Plexamp because I like the fact that it shows which tracks are hot for each album and has some nice features like casting over Wi-Fi, etc..

Plus, it looks the best in my opinion.

Do you have a better setup?

This is my #1 pet peeve. I always tell devs, if you don't have screenshots you can say goodbye to a significant percentage to your potential user base.

I'm not going to install something if I don't even know what the UI looks like. Especially if I can't have it up in less than 2 minutes or it requires a DB of some kind.

Nothing pisses me off more than installing something, finding out I hate the UI and then have to uninstall it and drop any related DBs, when I could have saved all my time with a single screenshot on your GitHub.

I just went to install Authentik using the Proxmox Helper scripts and noticed it states 'Authentik is very resource-heavy, it is recommended to use at least 8GB RAM anytime!'

Is this the case? Authentik's documentation states minimum is 2 CPU's and 2GB RAM for a docker install.

I only have a fairly low spec Proxmox environment I wanted to spin this up on.

I’ve developed two WordPress plugins because most of the available plugins were too complex for my needs. So, I created very simple plugins that work as intended. Since copying ZIP files around can become cumbersome, I added an update function from a freely available GitHub repository, so the plugin can be updated conveniently through the WordPress interface whenever I push a new version to GitHub.

Now I’m in the position—likely like many others—of wondering: How often is my plugin in use? Since I also own (even two) web trackers, I could track how often the plugin is in use via a URL request during installation or updates.

Would this be perceived as shady by users if I track installations/updates? Would this discourage users from using my plugins? Should one avoid such initiatives?

My friend wants to:

Setup 10 individual VMs on proxmox. They would all be Ubuntu 22.04.

Then he wants to install docker on each one.

Then install one individual docker container per app per VM.

So for example VM1 is Nextcloud, VM2 is Bookstack, VM3 is Authentik, so on and so forth

He wants to do this segment it even more so that if a container were to get compromised and all of the services were on one VM and if they somehow got into the vm and destroyed it, atleast that would only affect one service instead of all of them. (This is why we have backups. I explained this)

But he's pressed on this.

So I guess my question here is.....is this a waste of time/resources? Would it actually pose any benefit in the name of security?

I thought it was silly but like....he sort of has a point? A stretch of one....
