johntash,

Uptime Kuma is great for simple up/down and web checks. Librenms is worth looking at too for other metrics.

johntash,

The only time rsync is really slow is when your dealing with millions of small files since it only transfers a single file at a time.

rclone is better in that respect since it transfers multiple files in parallel. I don’t think the speed of a single transfer is going to differ much.

johntash,

If you’re wanting something that keeps historical data, vnstat is another good one for network usage

johntash,

One problem is the lack of alternative transport options. In most of the US, public transport just isn’t a thing. And things are too far apart for cycling to be efficient for commutes, grocery shopping, etc.

I hope that changes some day though.

johntash,

Not sure if that’s a typo or not, but gpt4 is definitely not open source

johntash,

Dumb question but what do you mean you cycled them a few times?

johntash,

Nothing wrong with that, Caddy is great!

johntash,

Thanks for linking it, that’s a pretty cool idea.

johntash,

You could tell them you’re working on legendary sets for each alt

johntash,

OpenBao is the open source fork of Vault

johntash,

Any idea if there’s a fork of Nomad and Consul?

Thinking of building a database of "stuff" that I have at home + some other family households. Multiple accounts with private and shared inventories.

The use case is basically so that all my family members we can check that “John has an old laptop collecting dust” or “Mary has this specific tool that I’d love to use for my current project”....

johntash,

Any idea how Homebox compares to Grocy? I want to try both, but gave up on trying to use snipe-it a while back because of the effort needed to input everything. Both of these look simpler though

johntash,

From your list, I’d go with hetzner. Racknerd is another good cheap option.

Also check out lowendtalk or lowendbox. Various providers post deals there petty often and the community is active.

what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion

I want to reset my server soon and I’m toying with the idea of using a different operating system. I am currently using Ubuntu Server LTS. However, I have been toying with the idea of using Fedora Server (I use Fedora on my laptop and made good experiences with it) or even Fedora CoreOS. I also recently installed NixOS on my...

johntash,

Do you have any reasons for wanting to switch your server OS, or is it more to learn something new? Either way is fine, but it might change what is more interesting to you.

I used centos forever, but only recently started slowly migrating everything to NixOS. I use NixOS for the OS and a few common things like VPN, monitoring, etc. For all of my actual services, I deploy them using Hashicorp Nomad with docker.

I’m not sure i would recommend defining docker containers using NixOS. It’d be fine for a couple servers, but not great for a cluster where services can move around.

Is rsync.net a good service for backups?

I’ve been playing around with the self hosted apps for quite a while and I got to the point where I’m happy about my local setup. Next step is to setup reliable offsite backup. I’m using borgbackup as a tool to manage my backups (so far only local backups). I’ve been looking for an affordable yet reliable service to...

johntash,

I like rsync.net. They offer reduced pricing for using restic/borg too.

I’m not sure how many years I’ve used them, but I never had any issues. The speeds also seem better than at least b2.

johntash,

Restic and rsync.net. look around and there should be a discount usually.

Kopia is also pretty good and has a web interface if that’s helpful for you.

Selfhosted systrem to monitor daily incoming email (backup reports)

Hi all! I’ve been looking for a selfhosted system that can monitor one or more email accounts and check if a certain email with a particular subject arrives every day (or every x hours) and alert me if it doesn’t (or if the subject is different). I need this to check if backups from different PC have run or not. The best...

johntash,

Not built in, but maybe a tool like windmill, nodered, or n8n? I think they all support imap and can run on a timer

johntash,

cloudflare access + cloudflare tunnels is a cool solution, and was easy to set up in the past, but I’d rather stick to something completely self-hosted. I’d probably use it for something completely public, but not things that route into my homelab.

johntash,

Thanks for confirming, I just saw that as well.

I’m going to try some of the other solutions in this thread, but I might still come back to authelia and just ignore my requirement for having social login. I like the idea of sending someone a link and saying “Hey just log in with your google account” instead of having to create an actual user for them, but maybe I can use something else specifically for those cases.

johntash,

Did you move to Keycloak, or something else?

johntash,

Do you have a link for padlock by any chance?

I’m not sure if this is it, but I found a password manager named padloc: github.com/padloc/padloc

johntash,

You can change the logon flow to make the username and password on the same page There is a comparability button as well on the login flow that allows bitwarden and other to auto fill correctly.

Thanks for the tips, I found the compatibility button and will try it out. I’m not sure I see how to change the username/password to be on the same page though. Do you have to create a whole new login flow?

johntash,

That’s essentially what I am doing. Everything is on the LAN by default. I have two instances of Traefik. One that runs only on internal VPN ips, and another on remote servers using public ips. So I can choose which services are accessible over lan/vpn or public (routed through a vpn to lan).

That doesn’t solve the authentication problem if I want to expose something to the internet though, or even sso inside the lan.

johntash,

Thanks! I managed to get user/pass on the same page and it works great with the compatibility mode

johntash,

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll take a look at some of his videos. I managed to get the un/pw on one page, but haven’t done much with webauthn/passwordless stuff yet so that might be useful too.
