I wrote a blog post on selfhostesd software to be more organzed - Lemmy.World

In this post I share some my personal journey with some selfhostesd open source apps and how they helped me. Maybey you will find some stuff in there that helps you as well.

The best thing about paperless-ngx in my onion is the high degree of automation.

Show threadTurkeyDurkeyFeb 19
While I do agree that the automation is what makes it best over others, an onion I have seen expressed online is how there is no encryption of the documents in server. I guess you can only use paperless-ngx to hold a bunch of documents on a small air-gapped device, much like storing hundreds or more papers in a box somewhere. Though in my personal onion, the files should be encrypted on the server if it’s ever meant at all to be hosted on one.

FairScan, very cool, I was looking for something like that. I already use Paperless.

Great read!

Thanks man ;)

Cool, also like the style of the blog, however the “Loading…” animation is kind a strange. It lasts almost 2sec , while the page data is completely loaded after 500ms or so.

First thing that poped into my mind:

🎵Let me take you down, 'cause I’m going to…Strawberry Fields Nothing is real. And nothing to get hung about. Strawberry Fields forever🎵

Nice blog. Good read. Well written and entertaining. Bookmarked. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the write ups, I especially enjoyed your “onions” on the software reviewed!

They should definitely make that a thing. Strawberries and onions?

Nice. Bookmarked in my FreshRSS installation

Did you find an RSS feed? I didn’t see one.
Show threadEl Perro NegroFeb 20
I did at blog.strawberrycloud.org/feed/
Show threadK3CANFeb 20
Ah. I tried /feed.xml and /feed.rss, but didn’t think to check just /feed/

Nice article, and a fresh practical take on FOSS.

FMD is great, I use it frequently.

Show threadairikrFeb 19

It does look great! Looks like the perfect FOSS alternative for Cerberus Anti-Theft.

But is Cloudflare required to use FMD?

Show threadnon_burglarFeb 19

So I just use it by authorizing my wife a and kids to use fmd commands, which means I just tell my wife to send me a text with “fmd ring” and it will start ringing until I find and stop it.

Also, it will message my wife and kids if the phone gets below 5%

Show threadbinomFeb 20
it is not, OP states in their blog that they use a cloudflare reverse proxy (probably a cloudflare tunnel) to secure the fmd instance, but you can also just not expose it to the web and use a VPN to access it on your home network :)

loose /= lose

Sorry this one had bothered me for years now and it just seems to get worse over time.

“I let the dogs loose from their enclosure.”

“Of course I would lose my phone when I don’t have Google’s Find My Phone anymore.”

loose

I get hung up on words too. However, my interests lie in the etymology thereof. Both words stem from the old Norse languages.

There for this. I too am heavily de-googleing, and will be looking into fmt more 👍

Great post, also I love your about page 🚩✊

Since you are German, don´t forget the Impressum. I think it is mandatory and some people are dicks.
Show threadclucoseFeb 20

It’s mandatory for commercial websites. If you don’t habe ads etc. you don’t need one.

Impressumspflicht

What do you mean you produce redaktionelle Inhalte mach dem Telemediengesetz but don’t have an Impressum? Laughs in 5000 Euro.
Show threadTerHuFeb 20
literally the reason for why i don’t host a blog… those impressum services be pricy
Show threadMagnum, P.I.Feb 20
The page can be free, all you have to give is your full address :) post box is not allowed.
Show threadTerHuFeb 20

well, my full private address, including name, as well as email and one of the following phone number, fax number, contact form. also you need to be reachable in a „timely manor“ usually 48 hours during workdays.

however i really don’t want to publically display my address and phone number. i’d love to have a fax number that converts to pdf/ email tho. well, and then i’d need to rent an address…

Oh no, haven’t thought of that, thanks!

Great post. Just a heads up, I feel like the “loading” screen with it’s fade in and out animations and all actually make your website feel slower than it needs to.
