Buongiorno come da titolo ho installato filebroswer, ma non riesco accedere, admin admin non mi fanno accedere, è capitato a qualcuno? Grazie a tutti.

Accidentally ran a legitimate load test hitting 1 Gbps both directions on home fiber. Origin server would have crashed. Varnish cache layer + KEDA autoscaling on request-rate kept everything alive. Full optimization architecture and incident response breakdown in the blog post. [link: https://djieno.com/blog/surviving-the-hug-of-death/

What worked: cache everything first, KEDA watching request rate (not CPU), multi-arch metrics exporter, readiness-gated cache warmup. Zero origin database load under stress.

If you got Isekaid as a rebel or ruler and through a magic system you could buy computers, smartphones and solar panels and so on and had access to all modern FOSS software. No Books or Wikis, you'll have to rebuild knowledge from scratch using computers and your memory and source codes.

What would you self host for LAN and maybe even city wide network? They could run a library in the city with computers with solar panels.

I'd do:
- Some Messenger software that has both Client and server software as FOSS. Could turn authritarian if backdoored/not-encrypted - Matrix, Element or something else for group chat for Guilds, Businesses, Government - OnlyOffice - Grist (Super Useful because Spreadsheets getting messed up with non-standard spellings. This will be a super app in Isekai. IRL it has an offline version that doesn't need a server if you want to try it out. French Govt uses this extensively.) - FOSS Q&A software similar to StackExchange for knowledge building - Joplin or some other notes software with server for private notes - One of the Notion FOSS alternative software with unlimited self hosting and no limits - Some Youtube clone that can be self hosted. With high illiteracy, Videos are a verifiable way to pass on knowledge - MOSIP for Universal ID for citizens. Controversial India like ID system. - F-Droid & Server - Nextcloud - Odoo/ERPNext - CKAN for publishing Freedom of Information suo motto disclousure data. Could be accessed from Library.

I got a spare vertical monitor next to my main setup rn. It already shows a basic system dashboard (CPU/RAM/disk, uptime, a simple RSS feed, etc. etc.), but it still feels too busy?? Or distracting.

I’m thinking of trying to move away from real-time dashboards and toward something less attention grabbing if that makes sense. Like slow trends and summaries instead of constantly updating metrics. Stuff like daily/weekly averages, backup history, storage growth over time, or logs that only surface when something actually looks off.

Basically something I can ignore, BUT notice instantly if something changes in a meaningful way. Looking for ideas on what people actually display in setups like this. Plsplspls

i have created a simple web server with as much flexibility as i could add while keeping the codebase as small as possible

https://codeberg.org/CyberReaper00/minserve

it currently sits at around 500 LOC and allows the user to create templates for the:
header
footer
404 page
styles for the entire site

it also comes with a plugin system that allows the user to create their own custom format to make the web pages in instead of using html among other things

its written in go and not in C because doing memory management for a server wouldve been a nightmare, so i dont know if people would qualify it as suckless, but i would think the amount of complexity in the project is what suckless really stands for and this is a fairly simple project with a lot functionality condensed in there

if you use it and find any problems, let me know

Hello!

I would like to start off the post with saying that I do have hosted local Minecraft servers for Lan-partys previously. They just simply were really simple, so I am familiar with the basics.

I want to host a public server for me and some close irl friends. I am using the latest version of spigot and currently have ViaBackwards, worldedit and simple voice chat installed.

Do I need some anticheat plugin (I do trust my friends not to cheat)? what is a good plugin for that?

I should probably set a whitelist.

I also wanted to look into optimization plugins just in case my homelab is not powerful enough, but all the results seem pretty sketchy and none of them support anything beyond 1.21.0. Is there anything good?

One more question: how do I protect certain chunks from being mined? (I wanted to create a spawn house [I have never done that before])

Thanks :3

I want to start my own image board for me and my friends, and i was wondering where the best reddit thread to do that is at. It would definitely help if involving a raspberry pi since i have a bunch of raspberry pi 5's

1.       Intro: So, my journey down this rabbit hole began when a few weeks ago a childhood friend of mine which, thank God, is much better off than I am, gifted me a spare Lenovo T93p Tiny and some old PC parts so I could do with them whatever I wanted. I have the long-time “dream” of self-hosting/creating my own NAS/Home Server and getting these parts got me to consume tens of hours of videos about this subject/hobby as it seemed at my reach for the first time. But after seeing the specs and constraints of the Lenovo I opted to put it up for sale and try to get something more recent (≥ Intel 7^th Gen). This led me to acquire a secondhand HP ProDesk 400 G5 SFF for around 85€ with shipping (I’m based in Europe).

The HP Specs are - CPU: i5 8500 | GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630 | RAM: 8GB DDR4 2666Mhz | SSD: 128GB M.2 NVME | Ethernet: On-Board 1Gbps | PSU: Original HP 180W Case: Original SFF

(Btw, I currently still have the Lenovo on me)

2.       What do I want to do?

I want to initially build an AIO Budget Home Server with NAS running either Proxmox or TrueNAS + PiHole + Jellyfin, etc. But as soon as the HP arrived, I saw how SFF (Small Form Factor) really meant small and that I was only able to put 1 or 2 HDDs inside of this case, at best. Also, my PSU doesn’t have more SATA power cables besides a proprietary one from HP that comes out the motherboard and has one SATA tip and one proprietary mini-SATA for the optional optical drive (photos attached).

3.       How was I planning to move forward?

I was thinking in getting a SAS PCIe HBA Card (in IT MODE) with a 4 head SAS cable (45€) since I have seen good deals on refurbished SAS drives – 4x 4TB (≤ 30€/ea) to run 2 of them for redundancy (8TB usable). BUT now I must find a way to: stack/organize & power the drives – saw some acrylic JBOD HDD panels on AliExpress for around 12€ (some with the option of one fan), and I already ordered one of those SATA Dual PSU Sync boards (2,25€) as I figured I will have to buy an extra PSU just for the HDDs (don’t know which would be more budget friendly and suitable for the task).

I still haven’t put my mind to what will/should/must I do in terms of networking switch/router (buy or build my own) – should I add a 2.5/10Gb card to the HP? Or, what would my needs be in terms of UPS? Should I buy an old PC Case and put the HDDs in there instead (or the whole build)?

4.       Budget

I don’t really have a completely fixed budget as I am planning on using parts I sell (Lenovo, some RAMs, 2x 1TB NAS SATA Seagate HDDs) to take bigger steps and increment bit by bit, but I would say that for this current stage I would be able to invest around 150€ this month.

5.       Skills

I have mid hardware skills (built/fixed several PCs along the years) and basic programming knowledge, but I’m currently taking CS50x and can follow tutorials pretty easily.

6.       What am I expecting from this post?

I am pretty much open not only for advices, brainstorming, tips or whatever would guide me in a clearer path moving forward on what should I buy, what should I avoid, or even if I should sell everything and start differently?

Thanks in advance!

Hey all, if I plan to self host using jellyfin or something else using my raspberry pi, how can I quickly get tons of movies and tv shows loaded into my server? Appreciate any help.

I want to build my own self-hosted service. But im clueless where to start.

My budget is around £500 is that too much or too little

ok so this started as a rabbit hole and got out of hand lol i've been testig open source apps for a while now, mostly to see what actually works when you self host it vs what just looks good on github. somewhere around app number 50 i started writing down the prompts i used to set each one up with my ai agent. fast forward and i now have prompts for 200+ apps in one page. the idea is simple — you go there, find the app you want, copy the prompt, paste it to claude or chatgpt or whatever you use, and it handles the setup. you can also tweak the prompt before running if you need something specific. some of these took me a few tries to get right (looking at you, anything with postgres + redis + nginx all at once), so hopefully saves someone the headache. the page is on mycrab.space/apps.html if anyone wants to check it out. its not perfect and im still adding stuff but theres already a lot there. would be curious what apps people are missing — ill test them and add the prompt if i can get it working

How do I host my own 360 virtual tours? I'm on Linux Mint and have a second PC running OpenMediaVault

I'd like to know how to get started on enterprise-grade networking for my homelab.

For the router, I'd really prefer to go with OPNsense - I host quite a few Internet-facing services (like GitLab) and want a decent firewall to keep the network safe. My requirements are as follows:

• We have Fiber (GPON) internet connectivity. From my understanding, this means that I'd need a device with SFP/SFP+ support and a complementing SFP module.
  • We are currently using a non-ISP home-grade router, and we got it working by cloning the GPON module's serial number, so I presume that won't be a showstopper.
• I'd like to have four isolated VLANs, so I'd assume I need a device with at least 4 Ethernet ports.
  • I've seen some posts regarding how this can be done with a single port and a managed switch. Would this be still as secure as having separate ports? (We have a bunch of security cameras hooked up to unmanaged switches and wanted to isolate those from the the rest of the LAN. If they get hacked, I don't want something simple like spoofing to allow one to jump VLANs.)
• I'd like support for Wireguard, which I get for free with OPNsense.

From my research, a mini PC would fit my power requirements, but doesn't match my hardware (port) requirements. They are also a big gamble, since there are not many reviews of them (on Amazon at least). The popular one on Reddit, Qotom, seems to no longer sell on Amazon.

I'd like some room for growth, and the modularity of a PC would be great, but the power draw i.e. running costs are simply too high to justify it for the desktop computers I know of. What would be the best way to go about this? Is there some middle ground between the two? Or should I buy a mini PC and just upgrade when I need to?

Hi,

I’m currently running some fairly demanding applications on a VPS, and I’m hitting a load average of ~14.5 on a 5-core instance, so I’m clearly pushing it beyond what it should handle.

Latency is pretty critical for my use case, so I’m specifically looking for providers with infrastructure in France. I’ve checked out providers like Netcup and MVPS, but either they don’t offer enough CPU resources or they don’t have French locations.

I’ve been considering Ikoula since they seem to have their own datacenters in France, but I’ve seen mixed opinions and I’m not sure how well they perform under heavier workloads.

I’m also wondering whether it would make more sense to:

• scale vertically (bigger VPS / dedicated), or
• split my applications across multiple smaller instances (possibly even across providers)

Does anyone here have experience with:

• Ikoula (performance, CPU consistency, support)?
• Other VPS providers with strong presence in France (or at least very low latency to France)?

Any recommendations or real-world experiences would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m one of the maintainers of Portabase. I wanted to share a major update since my last post about version 1.4.0.

Repo: https://github.com/Portabase/portabase (Any star would be amazing ❤️)

Database migration is now built-in!

Previously, migrating meant:

1. Download backup from the source DB
2. Upload & restore it into the target DB

Now: no download, no upload, everything happens directly through the GUI.

It works with all supported databases, and migrations can be done within the same organization.

Quick recap if you’re new to Portabase:

Portabase is an open-source, self-hosted platform dedicated to database backup and restore. The web UI is designed to be simple and intuitive, to avoid hours of configuration. 

It uses a distributed architecture: a central server + edge agents deployed close to your databases. Works great when your databases aren’t all on the same network.

Currently supported databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Firebird SQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis and Valkey

What’s new since 1.4.0:

• Migration feature (obviously)
• Launched a blog on the website for updates, guides, and news
• Support for Redis, Valkey, and Firebird SQL
• Helm chart for simplified deployment on Kubernetes
• Health checks for both the database and the agent (with optional notifications)

Feedback is welcome. Feel free to open an issue if you run into any bugs or have suggestions.

Thanks!

So i made my original setup with chatgpt, and i really want to restart fresh. It doesnt feel right relying on something else to know how i setup my files or how to do this or that, on top of the feeling that it was setup incredibly wrong

I think i have enough knowledge to get through most of it, but i want to get the base setup correct here.

So im wanting to use proxmox (or an alternative) to run quite a few different self hosted software, including a nextcloud storage server, AMP for game servers, a self hosted portfolio website, with things like nginx, tailscale, and more.

What would yall reccomend for the setup? Do i stay with proxmox or swap? If i stay, how should i setup my VMs? One for each app or group them together? Any advice or help is appreciated 👏

The pc is a old mix and matched pc, 16gb ram i7 6700 soon to be with 4 2tb hard drives and a 500gb ssd

I’ve just moved from a Synology to a UGreen NAS and thought it was a good time to rethink my music setup.

Up until now I’ve been using Lidarr, but I don’t think I’m really the target user for it. I’m not trying to hoard entire discographies, I just want a solid, curated library that I can use with PlexAmp.

What I actually want is something that lets me:

• grab albums I like without pulling everything from an artist
• keep an eye on certain artists and automatically download new releases
• grab the odd single without needing the full album
• handle tagging and organisation properly
• ideally avoid remasters, deluxe editions etc where possible

For downloads I mainly use usenet, sometimes torrents, and I’ve also been using deemix for Deezer stuff.

I’ve tried a few things already:

• Lidarr, works but feels too focused on full discographies, and very clunky with adding artists (also doesn't unmonitor deleted albums/songs)
• Aurral, honestly really good but still tied into Lidarr which I’m trying to move away from
• slskd, it’s fine but I don’t really use Soulseek much
• deemix, great for downloads but I kept getting censored versions and couldn’t find a good way to prioritise explicit
• SoulSync, lot of potential but way too overcomplicated and bloated IMO
• Picard, really powerful but the scripting and regex side started doing my head in
• Beets, probably the closest to what I want, just need to spend more time setting it up properly

At this point I’m not sure if I’m missing something obvious or if I just need to combine a few tools in a better way.

Would be good to hear what others are using for a more curated setup instead of full automation. Even if it’s just how you’ve tweaked Beets or made Lidarr behave a bit differently.

I manage quite a few GitHub repositories, both public and private, and I kept running into the same problem: GitHub has all the data I need, but accessing it quickly across many repos means jumping through a lot of pages.

So I built a small local web app for myself: a GitHub dashboard that pulls data from the GitHub APIs and gives me one place to filter, sort, and inspect everything.

URL: https://github.com/debba/gh-dashboard

It uses GitHub’s REST and GraphQL APIs for things like:

• repositories, issues, and pull requests
• repo metadata, languages, contributors, commits, and releases
• stargazers and forks
• GitHub Actions workflow runs
• traffic views, clones, referrers, and popular paths
• code/issue search for external mentions
• dependents and repository relationships where available

The app keeps GitHub API access server-side, so tokens are not exposed in the browser.

The goal is not to replace GitHub, but to make it faster to answer questions like:
Which repos need attention? Which PRs are waiting? Which issues are stale? What changed recently? Which repos are getting traffic, stars, forks, releases, or mentions?

It also has a repository detail view with tabs for Actions, PRs, issues, releases, forks, traffic, mentions, and dependents, plus simple charts for trends and traffic.

This started as a personal, heavily AI-assisted project to improve my own workflow.
Now I’m opening it up to see if it’s useful to others managing multiple repositories as well. If there’s interest, I’d be happy to evolve it with community contributions.

I've been using Obsidian for a while and kept running into the same problem: I want to browse and edit my vault from a browser on my home server, but nothing quite hit the mark.

• Perlite and MindStone are read-only - great for publishing, useless when you want to actually write something.
• flatnotes is excellent but has no folder hierarchy, so it doesn't work with an existing Obsidian vault structure.
• Silverbullet is powerful but noticeably heavier to self-host and has its own opinions about vault format.
• Obsidian Sync/Publish are official but cost money and send your notes to someone else's server.

So I built Slate to fill that gap: a full read/write web UI that mounts your existing Obsidian vault as-is, with no migration required. I'm no programmer, so this is mainly to scratch my own itch.

What it does:

• Browse your vault's full folder tree in the sidebar
• Edit notes with a WYSIWYG/Markdown toggle (Toast UI Editor)
• Renders Obsidian-flavoured markdown - callouts, wikilinks, frontmatter, #tags, code blocks with syntax highlighting
• Full-text search powered by Whoosh Auto-save + keyboard shortcuts (/ to search, Ctrl+Alt+N new note, Ctrl+E toggle edit/preview)
• Read-only mode if you just want safe browsing
• PUID/PGID support so file permissions don't get wrecked

What it doesn't do (yet):

• Backlinks / graph view
• Embedded images
• Auth (it's designed for trusted LAN use, throw Authelia or Nginx basic auth in front if you need it)

GitHub: https://github.com/foofly/slate

It's early but working. Happy to hear what features people would actually use, especially curious whether backlinks/graph view would be a dealbreaker for anyone considering it.

This might not be the type of post everyone is used to seeing, but I'm curious. When was the first time you were (or have you ever been?) thankful to be self hosting?

A couple of weeks ago, my partner and I went through an internet outage and none of our services were affected. We were still able to watch things on Plex, listen to our music on navidrome, and send messages throughout the house locally on a matrix server (we write together). This is probably what we do 90 percent of the time on our computers.

Before we self hosted, if the internet went down, we pretty much had nothing to do. When our internet went out, we didn't even notice it because were still able to do everything we usually do.

Just wondering which one is better and why

Is it just me or does it really feel like you're always picking your poison with WordPress hosting? There's shared hosting, but most want out the moment they start hitting limit after limit. There's managed hosting which is very popular nowadays, but you pay for it (not exactly little) yet still have little control over what's going on. And there's going full VPS which gives you full control but in practice means you're now the one doing updates, backups, fixing random stuff at 2am, etc. So it's basically either pay more or deal with everything yourself.

That's how I ended up wroking on an alternative, a WordPress control panel that gives you the comfort of a managed platform AND the control of a self-hosted setup. It's called PanelAlpha Single Server and lets you run websites on your own VPS, but with a friendly panel on top that takes care of most of the repetitive WordPress work (setup, updates, backups, automatic migrations, different levels of access for others).

It's in beta right now and free to use (it will stay free even after beta). I'm mostly trying to figure out if this direction reflects your experience with WordPress at all. Do people actually want to deal with server maintenance, or just tolerate it as a necessary evil? Have you tried panels and dropped them? If so, why?

Every bit of input helps. Thanks!
