I'm so excited about existing self-hosted applications (https://selfh.st/apps/) and possibilities to integrate them, so I dumped some of my random thoughts on pubnix-like community infrastructure in this post:
Software launches, updates, new directory apps, a spotlight on Alex Kretzschmar @ironicbadger - a content creator and frequent contributor to the self-hosted community, and more in this week's self-hosted recap!
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@flockofnazguls I'm asking because I'm currently hacking on an, as yet unpublished, selfhosted FOSS app that indexes a library and can then play it to a streamer/renderer on the network, currently only Sonos devices, but designed to be able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.
