I finally found time today to get my Mautrix bridges set up for Signal and Discord. It is so nice to now be able to use one app for most chats!

The only thing currently missing is an actively maintained bridge for WeChat. (I may be mistaken, but all the bridges I looked at seemed to be 3-5 years since their latest commit)

Gerade mal ausprobiert: Mit Immich-Frame kann man diese typische "Bilderrahmen-Anzeige" mit einer Reihe zusätzlicher Optionen (Wetter, Metdadaten usw.) erzeugen. Die kann mehr als die eingebaute Dia-Anzeige. Vielleicht mal mit einem ausgedienten Tablet probieren ...

99.9% uptime over the last 3 months for a site hosted in a closet at home is perfectly satisfactory.

#homeServer #selfHosted

In our new #Home we have 4 #solar panels.

I honestly was expecting them to be nothing more than a bureaucratic exercise and be of no real world to use.

We didn't have an in house smart meter, so I had no idea what was happening and when we did finally get one. I put it in my desk and forgot about it until this week.

To my amazement we weren't using any electric from the grid, in fact we were exporting some.

I had all the usual household things on, and my PC, #HomeServer and #3Dprinting

Today:

- There was an internet outage for about 5 hours.
- After which my home server froze (first Linux crash I've seen in a while).
- After force restarting it, somehow the Docker container networks changed so they broke one of my views for split-horizon DNS in #CoreDNS, which took about 2 hours to debug.

Breath in... breath out... breath in...

#SelfHosting #SelfHosted #HomeServer

I vibe-coded a small self-hosted tool that turns YouTube channels/playlists into a Live TV experience inside Jellyfin (or any other IPTV player) no downloads, no storage, just a lightweight proxy running on a Raspberry Pi 4.

How it works:
→ You paste a YouTube URL into a small web UI
→ yt-dlp resolves the stream on demand
→ Jellyfin sees it as a real IPTV channel, with EPG guide built from actual video titles and durations
→ Channels persist across restarts, add/delete from the browser

Built with Python/Flask + Docker. Since this was vibe-coded with Claude, the code is functional but I wouldn't call it production-grade.

Do you think would anyone actually use this? Should I clean it up and put it on Codeberg, GitLab, or GitHub? 👀

Edit: Here is the repository: https://github.com/boterocamilo/yt-iptv-rpi

For a while, deploying apps meant a familiar ritual: SSH in, pull the repo, pray nothing breaks, repeat for every service.

Manual.

Fragile.

Exhausting.

This week I finally consolidated everything into a proper self-hosted control plane.

The stack:
→ aaPanel as the central dashboard which I heard about from a friend
→ Docker for containerised app isolation (absolute cancer)
→ PostgreSQL for database management (with per-app panels and log visibility)
→ DuckDNS handling dynamic DNS + automated HTTPS via Let's Encrypt (stayed up until 3AM on Sunday for this btw)
→ Netlify on the frontend side cuz it's easy to deploy

The difference is hard to overstate.

One dashboard.

Full log access across services.

Deployments that don't require me to remember 12 steps in the right order at 11pm.

It's not a perfect setup, aaPanel is proprietary-ish and Netlify is clearly not self-hosted, but it's a defenitely a step away from "I'll fix it manually when it breaks" territory.

Curious if anyone here has migrated from this kind of hybrid setup toward something fully FOSS.

Always looking for the next rabbit hole.
