Selfhosted

I've just set up Wireguard, so I can access my home network from everywhere, but the old laptop that I wanted to use as a server has just quit. So now I have to find a different machine

Shoutout to @Estebiu@lemmy.dbzer0.com for helping me appreciate the joy of docker compose. I got to set up Navidrome and it's been great!

With that said, I have a security-related question: at what point in self-hosting am I exposed to the outside internet that warrants things like reverse proxies and other security measures? I'm currently typing router IPs (e.g. 192.168.x.x) to access the services, so is my machine exposed if the only people intending to connect are local on our wireless network?

Got my jetKVM in the mail yesterday. Really sleek build and software. Liking it a lot so far.

Migrated my network to a router running openwrt this past week as well. Having issues with avahi-daemon crash looping, so I haven't been able to get mdns working in between networks 🤷

i run coolify and I have to make my own solutions so I'm learning a lot about docker.

I had to reboot my Proxmox server after applying powertop --auto-tune. All was fine with every advised tweak but touching the Lan interfaces was not a great idea

I really need to figure out how to get Jellyfin to use SSL certs and assigning a domain to the instance.

My radarr instances won't download anything. It will search and find compatible torrents, but then it just spins and spins, nothing ever moves to the queue. If I refresh its like nothing happened at all. I confirmed that qbt is running properly and my Sonarr instances seem to be running ok.

I recently reorganized the root files to separate HD/UHD content so that I can run 2 instances for Overseerr requests, then this issue started. I had to reset the root folders and now there's also a root folder error about collections that I can't resolve either... got me thinking about doing a full reinstall.

Building a simple workflow with AI agent for our community watch group. Also building an open source automation platform, currently working through GUI templates for it.

Finally got around to trying what @chaospatterns@lemmy.world recommended me to troubleshoot my scanner sending to FTP. And I got it working! Thanks chaospatterns!

I fixed DNS

(My DNS queries were blocked by my ISP's modem, I flashed OpenWRT on an old WiFi Repeater, and set up a DoH proxy)

I'm moving to Podman quadlets for self hosting infrastructure (Forgejo and Woodpecker CI) and Kubernetes for the actual services. I also still need to figure out were I'm going to do SSL terminations.

Nextcloud will be moved to Nextcloud AIO

I've setup Nextcloud on Hetzner, and have ordered a mini PC to run Immich and experiment with.

Still trying to decide on a good cheap email host that I can also move my family on to eventually.

Was using realvnc to vnc from remote, it was easy and cloud driven.

Fully swapped to tailscale and normal VNC sever now.

Performance is good and works great for the troubleshooting and small GUI stuff I need to do.

Are there any AI apps that will index markdown documents with a vector DB, then allow you to run natural language queries using some kind of RAG approach with a local LLM?

Closest I've found is LlamaIndex, but this is still more of a 'foundation' than a turn-key solution and right now I'm too time-poor to do the assembly required...

I realise I'm describing close-to-frontier tech, but is there anything more turn-key (Dockerised) out there yet?

My use-case is pretty 'vanilla' in this space: Having a knowledge base and wanting quick answers to questions like "How should screen X behave if I am not a registered user?".

Thanks for any suggestions!
