I tried it 3 months ago. It looked nice had some cool features, but It didn’t fit into my personal selfhosted Home server.

This is more or like to help less-tech savy people to secure their infrastructure, which is a good point, but can’t replace a complex wireguard, VPN, opnsense, 2FA , self-signed CA, docker installation.

It’s a bit like Nginx proxy manager, it’s good enough, does what it is suposed to do with minimal user inputs. Less prone to error, security issues…

I’m sure you pronounce also those words wrong:

• F.B.I and not fbi
• L.E.D and not led
• SpaceX and not spacex
• SimpleX and not simplex

Hope this helps 🙏

I don’t have half the knowledge in IT you have, but i totally agree we should find a solution to seperate from mastadons who owns the whole network.

It’s very similar to how we shouldn’t give big corpos like GAFAM willingly our data/privacy or our foodchain shouldn’t be controled by a few corpos who serve poison… (the list goes on).

Most people just don’t care, they have nothing to hide or they won’t die if they eat one cheesburger from McDonald’s a week…

But in the case of lemmy I think (personal opinion) It’s because it’s easier, simpler, faster to setup right now. I’m sure if they had a better solution to not depend on cloudflare they would chose the other solution.

I mean your idea seems great, but how long would it take to put it inplace? How many highly qulified people are needed to make it work? How much will it cost…

I hope that in the long run, lemmy instances are going to find a better solution 😀

Here you go !

• Vaultwarden
• Searxng
• Nextcloud
• Smallstep (own CA for self-signed full chain certificates)
• Linkding
• Gotify + watchtower
• Adguardhome
• Traefik
• Wireguard

Took me to much time to make everything work perfectly together, but learned alot along the road ! Everything hosted on a old spare laptopt with docker containers.

I has some degree of privacy. A better way to look at it is to say: It’s less worst ! But full privacy is to shut down all your connected electric aplliances, never connect to the web, sell your house and go living of the grid.

You’re not weird ! Quite the contrary, we are on the right path to fight those greedy corporation !! To bad we’re the minority ://!

Just self-host your toilet 😎

never issue a command not related to package management with sudo or an su’d shell without trying it as a user first, and if it doesn’t work as a user, stopping and thinking about why not and what you were trying to do in the first place.

Thank you ! Because I was always using the root user for everything I also fucked-up my home directories, which really didn’t looked great ! I fixed everything right now (New user, new directory/file system, everything to the correct owner…) and will only add my specific user to the needed groups. I like that workflow, because having to sudo to everything with the root user really give me security concerns ! 👍

Yep I know that ! But with my badly written question you probably missed my point :(

Thank you for your great insight !!!

Yeah I have it in my favs, but I wanted a direct experience with people who actually know what they are doing and how ! :D

Yeah, because there isn’t a native linkding app for android there is a way to make it work in firefox, with HTTP shortcut

See here

It works flawlessly and never had any issue with it.

Thank you :) Will look at it, right now I’m happy with selfhosted linkding, but I really miss the native bookmarking way of firefox (tags, folder, subfolders, keywords.)

I use Linkding, which even as an android workaround for mobile. I have no idea if it works with brave, but does work with Firefox/chrome !

It’s pretty cool piece of software, but something it’s missing is a way to groupe tags together or have some folder structure.

If you don’t have a tag structure beforehead, your tags can quickly get messy :/!

Linkding

Didn’t knew that was possible… seems not easy to set-up :/ is also an old article, you sure this still works?

I wish It could be so simple for everyone… Docker is great when you have an old spare laptop and want to self host a few nice things: vaultwarden, traefik, searxng… Sure it’s relatively new compared to VMs and is going to have some security flaws and reworks during the maturing process… But VMs had also their ups and downs long time ago before It got in a stable maturing state !

VM are nice but we (in my opinion) as human species need to find other solutions to get away from energy, rare metal hungry devices… something in between docker and VMs. But that’s just my opinion.

Plus, docker and derivatives are also really interesting technologies where you have to read manuals and gain deep and durable knowledge to understand the future of virtualization.

I don’t know, nginx gave me some really hard time… Traefik was way easier to setup, specially with my docker containers.

But that’s probably because I’m more into yaml formatting, than pure nginx syntax.

Thank you for the insight ! So, I could have used " " instead of ` . Which I normally do, but because I tried to follow the docs blindly, I just used their syntax without questioning the single quotes !

I think the more you dig the more you find you could learn

True, but it’s really frustrating to spend time to learn something that’s maybe going to be useless ? Just look at networking in linux distros between networkd, NetworkManager, netplan, nmtui, nmcli, networkctl, ifupdown… all working in different locations and all having their own way of doing things… This is is fucked up :/

Imagine learning docker’s all subtilities and next year it’s deprecated in favor of another technology with his own flavors and commands… :/

This makes me anxious… How do you cope with all these different technologies… I mean everything is evolving so fast and everyone wants to have his OWN way of doing things… This is messed up ! Right now IT seems a big maze of technologies and nobody seems to be in sync with each other… specially in devOP and Networking…

I don’t know about Podman, but it’s baffling how much you need to know and understand in IT… And If every 3 years you have to relearn everything, it’s a never ending chase of dying and abandoned technologies and a wast of time :/

Just my 2cent, nothing special !
