Changed my #selfhosted #homelab #dashboard. Was using Dashy https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy, and now I'm using Homepage https://github.com/gethomepage/homepage

That was a huge improvement, looking way cooler and it has so much integrations and widgets. A little more technical to set up (because everything is done through YAMLs), but I got no problem with that.

I'm still setting it up, almost finished though. Managed to make it auto-discover my containers and add them to the dashboard automagicly. Tweaked the layout, added some widgets and bookmarks.

Looks like I'm climbing a ladder here. I started with Homer https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer (basic), changed to Dashy (medium), Homepage (advanced).

I'm pretty happy with Homepage, but if you have any dashboard suggestion, I would appreciate that!

It took me a while to realize that there are better Android Mastodon clients out there than the official one. Even using the instance's website was better than the official client 😮

Also there are clients out there which supports markdown text formatting. And that's just awesome! But uhm... The text formatting doesn't appear on the other clients in my tests. So... meh

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I was talking about Android clients.

So I decided to try to have a self-hosted music streaming service. As I already have a movie service called Jellyfin: https://jellyfin.org/. And for my surprise Jellyfin also supports music, and has an app just for it! The app is called Jellify and it's on Github: https://github.com/Jellify-Music/App.

So, Jellyfin is kinda great at fetching movies metadata, I do have some problems with it, but at least it works sometimes. But sadly, it looks like things are pretty worse when it comes to music. I've quickly downloaded 3 songs for testing purposes. And Jellyfin didn't get any metadata.

I've searched the internet about it, and after going through some forum discussions, I've realized this is a major problem of Jellyfin. And also, I've discovered a program called Musicbrainz Picard: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/. Part 1/2

#homelab #selfhosted

Hello world!

I'm a tech enthusiast that dreams to be a programmer one day. I currently have a server up and running at my home, running a bunch of cool stuff, just for fun. 😊

I'm trying to build a smart home, although I have very limited resources. So, I'm at a very slow pace, yeah. But someday, I'll have a full autonomous house.  Well, it already has it's own AI and stuff. I just need the smart devices. Which in my country, is a lil pricey.
