Folks with #selfhosted#music libraries, I've heard some folks say that they have 10TB of audio files in their libraries. Approximately how many individual tracks is that? I'm assuming that it's a lot of lossless files, but I'm curious what the average file size is and the number of files that comprise such a library.
@flockofnazguls Thanks for sharing! How do you navigate a library of that size? Either conceptually or in practice due to the way that your player/streamer software works? How would you prefer to do it?
@flockofnazguls I'm asking because I'm currently hacking on an, as yet unpublished, selfhosted FOSS app that indexes a library and can then play it to a streamer/renderer on the network, currently only Sonos devices, but designed to be able to support others.
This is in reaction to the recent sonos app disaster, and because Roon lacks a linux remote app.
My needs are fairly simple: fast query by name/title/artist. Ability to create smart playlists to surface eg: least recently played.
Just switched my #SelfHosted#PeerTube instance from using #Redis to #Valkey now that it has a stable release out as a #Docker#container too, and.. that went too easily 😅. I know this makes sense as it is 100% compatible, but it still feels quite amazing to have it just work.
In case it helps; I just switched to using the valkey/valkey:7-alpine image, and because I also renamed things in my docker-compose I added PEERTUBE_REDIS_HOSTNAME=valkey to the PeerTube .env file too. That's it!
#justsaying I fscking love #FreshRSS. Tho, the 3rd party mobile apps all pretty much suck, like some just don't show any feeds. I just added the webpage as an app, it's fine.
So if you haven't checked it out yet now is the perfect time to do so, and if you like it as much as I do, grab yourself a copy - the new song should then just appear automagically next Friday!
@mrchrisadams nice, thanks. I've basically got to the point with my home setup / Docker / K8s that I can do it all, and I therefore can't be arsed and want something to lazily manage it for me 😄
Fellow #selfhosted#admins: how do you move important things (like family photos, as most other things are replaceable) under your own wing and sleep at night? One problem with disc or os and boom, all of it is gone. Like tears in rain.
@mms I don't host in any manner, and have lost irreplaceable photos. I have been thinking if self-hosting #Hubzilla and having a live clone of it would work out.
Dropped some updates to selfh.st/apps this morning - tiles now have visible/clickable tags, URL properties have been added for sharing custom views with others, and I've added a ton of new project icons.
I'm completely open to feedback on future improvements, but probably won't consider adding any more details to the tiles to prevent them from becoming too cluttered.

This website solved an issue I had. A good alternative to Typeform. Because we all know 21 EUR/month * 12 months (252 EUR) for a subscription is absolute horseshit.
About ready to start working on my first homelab machine for self-hosting things instead of just glomming all my services on to the NAS. How feasible is it to start out on a Raspberry Pi while I get the hang of things? #selfhosting#selfhosted#homelab#raspberrypi
@shollyethan Just a note on the app directory, I noticed the licenses are off for Sentry and Outline. Outline is BUSL, Sentry is FSL, and they only become Apache (and open source) after a few years (for older versions). Plus Lubelogger isn't really MIT as mentioned yesterday.
Project activity, software launches, updates, a spotlight on #sup3rS3cretMes5age - a one-time, self-destructing messaging service, and more in this week's self-hosted recap!
@zrail Watchtower has boringly just worked for me for this, too. I set mine to 2 minutes because I'm running a dozen+ websites being polled.
I like your idea about using fly to proxy in. I have used Tailscale's funnels for a few projects, mostly to allow GitHub to access it. I should probably re-think that.
As always, submit your own release or someone else's, it can be by #FediMusicians or not, hosted on #Bandcamp, #Faircamp, #JamCoop, #Mirlo or #SelfHosted, as long as it is by an #IndieArtist (but bonus points for supporting Bandcampers today, as it's the last one for a while).
Simply make a direct comment (with a link & description) to this post and it will appear at https://isitfairtrademusicfri.day automagically!
Let me kick things off with a plug for @radiofreefedi, which is my number one source for discovering new and exciting #FediMusic these days.
In the unlikely even you haven't checked them out already, do yourself a favour and head to https://radiofreefedi.net/, for not just one but three channels of musical goodness.
The best thing is that every song played has a link to the artist's #Fediverse profile as well as a link to their music, so it's easy-peasy to support and/or contact them. 🔈🎶
So I have a bunch of #selfhosted services running at home. Now, my home #ISP is your typical large Canadian telco (aka assholes) and they are actively sabotaging my host-at home stuff. (i.e. I set it up, it works a few days, then it stops being reachable from outside, at work, rebooting doesn't fix etc.)
Can any recommend a reliable "just works" remoting solution (where the host is linux) where I can always remote in if the host has power and an outbound connection?? (paid is ok)
I'm behind the curve but I'm finally experimenting with @tailscale to see if integrating it into #Dropserver could be a solution to the connectivity problem for a #selfhosted install.
Honestly, it's a great product! The onboarding is top notch. I ran into a few very minor technical glitches but it works very well. It didn't take long to set up and soon I was accessing an app I had running in ds-dev on my Mac at home while munching on a Poke Bowl at the mall. Super cool!
The only gotcha with #tailscale is that their "at home" plan is only for 3 users. As soon as you past that, you have to go to the Starter plan which is $6/user/month. So for four users you're looking at $24/month. That's not a small amount!
Of course, I get it: they're not in business to give their product away.
But for the Dropserver use-case, it means Tailscale can only be useful for limited situations, and I'll have to keep finding other solutions to connectivity challenges.
It's probably still worth doing an integration. The magic of tailscale solves every connectivity problem at once for a subset of use cases.
Example: serving Dropserver apps that involve only you, or perhaps you and your partner. That actually covers a good amount of ground currently (DS is great for making "home-cooked apps")
My personal note taking app would be better off inside a tailnet. Even the Leftovers and shopping list apps are only used by my wife and I, so that would work.
I've been overwhelmed with the positive feedback from the community since last week's launch and have been trying to add projects as fast as the requests come in.
Two new features since launch: License details added to the project tiles and a "Recently Added" sort option for users to easily view projects added since their last visit.
Next feature on the list: RSS feed for newly added project notifications
Huh, looks like @nextcloud Talk can be (or is working on being) federated between Nextcloud instances. That'd be pretty cool. Instant, video, and audio messaging without relying on someone else's platform would be pretty cool. Its hard choosing a platform that works on desktop, Android, and Apple, and is not trying to monetise my children. #nextcloud#selfhosted
@ironicbadger - I was just listening to the latest episode of #SelfHosted where you talk about using a travel router and it got me to wondering if you know how to fix the bug that prevents the @tailscale exit node feature from working on the GL.iNet OS. I’ve got a GL-A1300 and have learned there’s a bug related to the routing tables that breaks all outbound traffic when the exit node feature is enabled.
