I'm looking for a self hosted (pub) quiz in the form of Kahoot. What I would like it to be able to is to have pictures, multiple answers, audio / video files (either links to YT/Spotify).

I have found some options, but none that tick all the boxes. Some older ones one Github that are not updated/seem to work properly. Even if you have a free alternative that's not selfhosted, that could be a start. Cheers.

I tried/looked at these

My name is Noah, and over the past year, I have been working on building Receipt Wrangler.

At its core, Receipt Wrangler is a way to store, and manage receipts, split receipts amongst users, keep track of who owes who and eventually gain some insight on your spending.

The goal is to make Receipt Wrangler easy to use, and deploy, but still provide some advanced features for those who would like them. This is mainly in the form of dashboards, which is currently a planned feature, where users can configure their own dashboards, to see things like recent activity in the group, some configurable receipt queries, AI generated reports over a configured time period, ect.

Features:

• Multi user
• Uses a group concept, to allow users to share receipts amongst the group
• Opt in OCR + AI scanning to fill in receipts (Lots of WIP in this area!, OpenAI currently but self hosted models in the future)
• Receipt searching
• Receipt filtering
• Containerized for easy deployment and management

Planned features:

• Dashboards for spending analytics
• AI generated reports
• Mobile App (very early development stage, designs in progress)

I have used it for about 6 months or so, to manage my receipts between my SO, friends and family and has come handy many times, so I felt like now is a good time to share it with you all.

Check it out if you'd like, and please let me know if you have any comments, questions, or concerns.

Wrangle on!

I asked this question on r/aws a while ago, but I'd also like to gather insights from this community.

Here's my situation: I have a home network with GTPL ISP and I'm looking to set up a configuration where only my home network can access all of my EC2 instances.

I've already set up Dynamic DNS with my router, and I've attached a No-IP host URL that's working well. Even after renewing my public IP, it updates correctly in No-IP.

Now, my question is: How can I associate my DDNS host endpoint with EC2 instances so that only my home network has access?

Thank you!

Perfect for HP ProLiant servers as it works with iLO technology in addition to Wake-on-LAN of course and you can easily create a module to start and stop your server as you wish. You can also check its status.

You can also use it to bypass the technical restrictions preventing the broadcasting of a magic packet (WOL) within the internal network over a VPN. This way you can start and stop it from the outside.

I moved my glinet with adguard home to nextdns to, eventually, a self hosted adguard home with DoH/DoT

Now the problem is that the domains I visit are plain text both in the DNS as in the TLS as the SNI.. I managed to encrypt the first ones but have no idea how to cope with the SNI..

So far my only solution has been hosting a wireguard server and using this self hosted VPN H24, obviously this solution is a bit of a workaround, performances are a bit bad (even because my vps is in USA while I'm in Europe)..

I checked the many new proposed protocols that will encrypt SNI but as of today are still experimental and not supported

Do you all think I'm worrying for nothing or there is another way to hide the SNI? I was thinking a way of using my vps, encrypting the SNI from me to vps and resolving the SNI there (a proxy actually) but didn't study yet on this

Thank you all!

I've tried to make it as flexible as possible, and for now, it's a perfect fit for my needs (and slightly more).

I spend some time making better documentation, and now I hope it's going to be easy and useable for everyone.

Note: It's not label-compatible with version 0.1 - but it's easily updated.

With the release of the PoC (version 0.1) I was asked to describe in simple terms what this is, so here are some more words:

CargoDesk is a web application that provides a dynamic dashboard for Docker Containers. Developed using Python, Flask, Gunicorn, and Gevent, it provides an easy-to-use interface for displaying links to Docker instances and user-defined links. This dynamic functionality is made possible through Docker labels associated with running containers.

CargoDesk's simple web interface is defined through environment variables and Docker labels, giving you complete control over the displayed content. It is equipped to handle multiple instances running on different ports with unique label matches. To assist with debugging and monitoring of your Docker system, CargoDesk also includes a simple feature for error visualization when unexpected container behaviors are detected.

CargoDesk allows for additional customization through CSS and jinja2 templates. It can be configured to auto-refresh the page, with a specified interval between screen refreshes. With its dynamic nature, users can easily add or modify site components, such as icons, notes, and URLs, and create new sections as needed.

With its label-centric approach, the configuration is easy. Add or adjust the Docker labels on your containers, and CargoDesk adjusts accordingly. This offers an easy way to specify a container's role or link it to a specific service. You can even add multiple labels to a single container, allowing you to create complex and detailed interfaces without the need for manual coding.

The installation process of CargoDesk is straightforward. It comes with both a simple and an advanced docker-compose.yml file, which allows you to easily set up some test services to get a feel for it. For a container to show up on CargoDesk, you only need to attach a single label to it - although more labels will improve the useability.

CargoDesk's site layout includes the following elements: Site Header, Site Navigation, Section Header, Cards Section, Section Footer, and Site Footer. All parts of these are configured through labels on your containers, providing a highly customizable and flexible tool for Docker management.

CargoDesk v1.0.0 introduced several new and renamed labels to increase the flexibility to customize your inventory dashboard.

Quick introduction to me:

• I would describe me as pretty tech savvy
• I work in IT (Primary selling and deploying Microsoft SaaS as Consultant but also did administration before)
• I have a not small homelab
  • 6 Servers
    • 1x Storage Server (about 60TB of spinning rust usable)
    • 1x dedicated backup server for Proxmox and docker running PBS and Minio
    • 1x dedicated management server (Git, Portainer, Jenkins, etc.)
    • 3 node Proxmox cluster (1x beefy server and 2x small node using an N100 in a 1u case)
  • 10g backhaul

My "problem":

I currently mainly use VMs with Docker for deploying all my services but, as we all are somewhat the same we want to try other things and the homelab never has a state where we are 100% satisfied, so I wanted to try kubernetes. Mainly for HA because some of my services are used by other people and the services should stay available if one server goes down.

I successfully deployed now a k3s 3 node cluster with Longhorn as storage and everything is working fine. Actually so well it ran since I began using it without problems non stop which i can't say about my Docker environment (but thats mainly caused by my backups which is hopefully fixed now with the dedicated backup server).

I have been doing and learning quite a bit with kubernetes the last few months but just can't seem to get comfortable with it. My problem now is that I don't really trust my self operating this kubernetes cluster. What happens when the cluster goes boom and I have to redeploy all services. Its not just restoring the files and one command and everything runs. I need to create a new cluster or repair it, restore the data using Longhorn and then start the service with the restored PVCs.

With my docker services the backup currently contains everything I need to redeploy it (all application data and the the docker-compose file) so I just restore the files, run docker compose up -d and it runs again.

Do those of you using kubernetes (and not using it at work) are actually comfortable using it and have a plan to restore?

I'm trying to set up Nging proxy manager to get rid of having to use different ports for all my services constantly, and also to be able to use Pihole local DNS. But I'm absolutely clueless as to how to do it. I'm reading guides, but I'm always confused at the end. It seems like every person is assuming I have 10 years of experience already.

I have NPM installed in a separate container on Proxmox. I have the gui open. I click on add proxy host, I put in the ip "192.168.0.213" as the domain, I set it to forward to "192.168.0.213:9091" on http. Nothing happens. I try adding the proxy to my internet settings. Now everything hosted locally forwards to NPM login screen. Why? How? What?

I just don't understand how it's supposed to work. If I google the problem I get page long configs I'm supposed to paste somewhere. I thought the whole meaning of the gui was to set it up from there?

I have Caddy (also a reverse proxy) running on my VPS to be able to use Plex and Jellyfin from my domain, and it works perfectly. But when it comes to doing it locally I'm just clueless.

Any advice is appreciated.

FileFlows

Basically its a self hosted app that processes any file you want through distributed processing nodes. So for example you can transcode all your video files to a format that suits your needs, and split that work between the server and a windows node, or mac, or linux.

It monitors "Libraries" (folders/paths) for files and will process them automatically, or based on schedules.

Its most similar to tdarr but mixed with node-red. But not limited to video files, that definitely the most common usage of it (and why I wrote it for), but since its based on files, it can process anything. You can execute other apps from within the flow so not limited to whats built in.

Users can write scripts that can be shared using Javascript (powered by Jint, so C# powered aswell).

There's a free tier that covers 96% of users, and nothing in the actual flow processing requires a subscription, but some of the fancier features like better dashboards, external database support, more processing nodes (2 in the free) need a patreon subscription.

It gets very regular updates, I'm releasing basically weekly, and have this last week I just added support for community flows to make it easy for users to share flows and help others get up and running faster.

A very typical use case is to have FFmpeg convert all your video files to a specific codec, audio codec, removing black bars from videos, removing unwanted audio, subtitles, remuxing to mkv/mp4.

Or you may want to create thumbnails of all your images.

Platforms supported: Docker, Linux, Windows, MacOS, unRAID (in the community app store)

I currently have a vServer (rented online) running on Ubuntu including Docker.

Portainer is currently hosted via Docker.

Now I want to use Caddy to reverse-proxy to the Portainer web GUI when visiting pt.mydomain.com

Caddyfile etc. is set up and Caddy does not throw any errors.

My Caddyfile:

``` pt.mydomain.com { reverse_proxy 123.456.789.012:9443 }

```

The subdomain pt.mydomain.com is registered at my Domain provider.

Now if I go to , the following portainer error appears:

``` Client sent an HTTP request to an HTTPS server.

```

As this is a well known Portainer error message, I assume my Caddyfile works.

But what is the reason I cannot access the Portainweb web GUI / why does this error appear even if I use https?

Please note that the server is offline for 90% of the time as I'm still playing around. I know that having stuff exposed to the internet is super risky.

I'm pretty new to the proxy stuff so any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks folks!

As a self-hoster and homelabber, this was always on the "future todo list". Then, Christian Lempa published his video about the dangers of bringing small projects into your home lab - even as well-known ones as NPM.

I decided to make the move from NPM to Nginx and thought I'd share my experience and the steps I took with the community. I am not a content creator or any sort of professional documenter. But in my own self-hosted journey I've benefited so much from other people's blogs, websites, and write-ups, that this is just my small contribution back.

I committed the full write-up to my Github which may provide more details and insights. For those just here on Reddit, I have a short version below.

Some assumptions: I currently am using NPM with Docker and Nginx installed using Ubuntu's package manager. The file paths should be similar regardless of the hosting vehicle. I tried my best not to assume too much Linux/CLI knowledge, but if you've gotten this far, you should know some basic CLI commands including how to edit, copy, and symlink files. The full write-up has the full commands and example proxy host files.

There may be something wrong or essential that I've forgotten - I'm learning just like everyone else! Happy to incorporate changes.

tl;dr version

1. Stop both NPM and Nginx first.

   • systemctl stop nginx
   • docker stop npm (or whatever you've named the container).

2. Copy the following contents (including sub-directories) from the NPM /data/nginx directory to the Nginx /etc/nginx folder:

```

• proxy_hosts > sites-available
• conf.d > conf.d
• snippets > snippets
• custom_ssl > custom_ssl (if applicable)

```

1. Edit each file in your sites-available directory and update the paths. Most will change from /data/nginx/ to /etc/nginx.
2. Edit your nginx.conf file and ensure the following two paths are there:

```

• include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf; and include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

```

1. From within the sites-available directory, symlink the proxy host files in sites-available to sites-enabled

```

• ln -s * ./sites-enabled

```

1. Test your changes with nginx -t. Make appropriate changes if there are error messages.

And that's it! You can now start Nginx and check for any errors using systemctl status nginx. Good luck and happy hosting!

Dropping my Webmesh project () again as I've just reached a major milestone in my development towards making it a viable product. Webmesh is yet another pass at creating a distributed service/application mesh/VPN using WireGuard. More infoz is on the project website:

With the new "mesh bridge" capabilities, you can run a bridge node between two or more meshes that serves to forward appropriate traffic between them. It also offers DNS forwarding capabilities to lookup internal names across meshes. This is accomplished by running two or more IPv6 only wireguard interfaces connected to each mesh and sharing routes between them. IPv4 support is planned, but honestly may not even be necessary. You can see a reference example/playground here:

The windows VM has an RTX 3070 passed through; I use it for gaming. Proxmox and Truenas scale do not have a GPU but run on dual E5-2673 v4 with a total of 40 cores. I have space for another small GPU, like nvidia P400 size, if needed.

I would like to stream my media to Jellyfin clients on my iPhone, steam deck, and fire TV. Mostly while at home but if possible while away as well.

I was originally planning on installing Jellyfin via the Truenas Scale app store, or in a proxmox container, for ease of snapshots and portability. But then I read about hardware transcoding. I'm not sure how important that is, or if it's better to throw a GPU at it or a bunch of CPU cores. Here are my options:

-Install the Jellyfin app in my windows VM so it has access to the RTX 3070.

-Install Jellyfin via Truenas app store or in a proxmox container with no GPU.

-Buy a small GPU (such as the Nvidia P400) to pass through to Jellyfin inside Truenas or in a container on proxmox.

Is hardware transcoding important, and if so is a GPU much better than a lot of CPU cores? If both answers are yes than I'm leaning towards installing it on my Windows VM unless there is good reason to prefer installation in a container. What would you suggest? Thank you.

I have the backplane board (part number 507690-001) and I am wondering if anyone can think of a way I can supply the correct voltages to the board as, it uses non standard enterprise hardware/power delivery aka direct from the motherboard to the backplane.

I have been thinking of this for a while, but after seeing a video by some dude on youtube, I belive it can be done somehow. Although the guy doesn't explan how he did it.

My curent plan is to use a Mini-SAS to 4x SATA breakout cable to a PCIE 8 port SATA card that will hopefuly take the signal and allow me to software raid the drives. Failing that, I am going to get my friend to CNC cutout a new backplate with the same dimensions (benefit is more airflow) and glue hard disk / sata cables in and do it the awkward long way with way more cables.

Some notes are:

-The backplane uses a weird 10 pin cable (part number 463184-001)

-I know if i got a different server with a raid card it could work but I have this one already

-The new hardware would be a glorified ryzen 3rd gen pc for VM and game hosting as well as backup storage if this is possible.

For the past week I have been working on YOC, an automatic script to install our favorites services using docker and docker compose.

The services you can install are:

• Traefik
• Vaultwarden
• Seafile
• Nextcloud
• wg-easy
• AdGuard Home
• Immich

The script will ask you several questions with an user friendly UI, if wanted, Treafik will be configured with either self signed certificate or generate SSL certificate using your own domain name using your Cloudflare API KEY.

AdGuard Home, if installed, will also be configured to resolve internally your services using your domain name, or the default domain name if you don' t have one.

WireGuard also will be pre-configured to use AdGuard Home as default DNS Server.

I highly recommend you to read the README to see what YOC can do.

As an ex-Plexpass user, I really missed Plexamp, but I couldn't drag myself back to using Plex with annoyances I dealt with.

There are a number of Music clients for Jellyfin, but I was used to and missed Plexamp. Instead of suffering in silence, I built my own.

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. It is in active development and the end game is to make it flush and polished with features as Plexamp.

Cheers!

I will respond to customer inquiries, but I also need to contact targeted businesses approximately 15 times per day for the first 14 days. Response rates are typically high due to what's being offered.

I was previously on Hetzner, however, my account was accessed and someone attempted to purchase servers from within my account. So I made the switch to Digital Ocean. A lot of potential customers were responding to my emails apologizing for the delay in their response as they couldn't see my email since it was delivered to their spam folder. There's other potential customers who have given me their email address and asked me to contact them and also had trouble viewing since it was delivered to spam.

So far i looked at bitwarden and passbolt, but perhaps there is something else i missed?

This is how i found this subreddit as well, as someone asked this 2 years ago :D

This Week in Self-Hosted (4 August 2023)

I am running a ODroid HC4 as a media server with Jellyfin and Navidrome.

After expanding my music collection to about 70k tracks, Navidrome’s search performance was terrible. Searching for tracks took more than 10 seconds.

I know that Navidrome’s search just uses SQLite LIKE statements without an index, so the performance is not optimal, but it could definitely be better. However, the main reason for the bad performance was the slow microSD storage.

My ODroid may have slow storage, but it has plenty of RAM (4GB). So it should be possible to keep a 160MB database permanently cached. Turns out, there is an application that can permanently keep certain files in RAM: vmtouch.

You can install it with apt and then run the command vmtouch -vtl database.sqlite. This will keep the file locked in RAM as long as the program is running.

VMTouch also comes with a service to permanently keep certain files cached. To set it up, you have to edit the config file under /etc/default/vmtouch and restart the service.

```

Change to yes to enable running vmtouch as a daemon ===================================================

ENABLE\_VMTOUCH=yes

User and group to run as ========================

VMTOUCH\_USER\_GROUP=root:root

Whitespace separated list of files and directories for vmtouch to operate on ============================================================================

VMTOUCH\_FILES="/apps/data/navidrome/navidrome.db"

Options to pass to vmtouch itself. See vmtouch(8). ==================================================

VMTOUCH\_OPTIONS="-tld"

```

Now the music database is always kept in RAM, which improved the search speed to 300-600ms.
