Take a distro with a package manager you are familiar with. Debian should do it.

And try out docker it’s really easy to learn and straight forward.

Jellyfin has a well documented docker compose.yml which is just a textfile that points out the facts like used versions, environment and volume paths.

I did a transition from my docker compose tools to a new system in under an hour yesterday. All I had to do was backup the volumes or data paths. Firing up the containers looks like a new install but it’s just downloading the container and everything runs like before without losing any config.

CasaOS creates just a guest smb, have you tried “guest” without PW on port 445?

There are actually easy solutions out there. For example CasaOS, it’s a oneliner and you get a docker orchestration with an app-store and built-in file and smb management. I bet even non technicals could use this.

They backup them locally. Did you ever searched for something you know existed and it’s gone forever?

Linkwarden. Because it has a good design, tags, is selfhostable, has some nice integrations (browser-plugin, PWA) and saves backups of the bookmark in PDF.

I just pay Netflix because of guilty conscience. There was nothing interesting to watch in the last months.

As someone who used caddy over years, I can’t completely agree.

Caddy has some downsides (nextcloud needs special setup for example) and not everyone is familiar with writing a Caddyfile. (Json)

For someone new I would recommend “nginx proxy manager”. Easy to install with docker and self explained through GUI.

I know about the successful help being an alternative to apple/google. When I start degoogling (5 years ago) nextcloud was impressive. But I talk about my own experience. And nextcloud doesn’t work on their basics. Instead they’re following every hype with an alpha app which doesn’t get support when the hype ends (nextcloud social) for example.

Maybe they could fork owncloud again? Owncloud worked over years to get rid of php and released last year “infinity scale” its a single binary. You can run it nearly out of the box. And it is stable and fast. Nextcloud needs this, too.

The php part is something a newbie wouldn’t easy success with. The alternatives I recommend are all easy to install docker containers, which are simple to maintain and no worries about the next release could break everything.

I am driving away from nextcloud more and more. I would be back when they get rid of php and really develop even one plugin (the so called “apps”) which isn’t just an alpha version.

I don’t see any use case for this bloated all in one monster with crap performance. Someone needs his files in a browser and overall synced. Use syncthing and something like filebrowser or filestash. Photos? Immich. Documents? Paperless. Music, Movies, e-books? Jellyfin. Collaborative Docs? Onlyoffice, cryptpad. Notes? Joplin, trillium. etc.

OK, I’ll give it a try. Thanks.

Show me a docker compose file which I can simply start and don’t have to mess around more than deploy it, and I will discuss xmpp more often.

Ah my fault. I don’t want to tag a user, I want to tag a community. I changed “@” to “!”

Paperless was my docker training program. I did so many mistakes and end up losing my database 3 times. My fourth try, runs smooth and I backup everything regularly. Actually 1.300 documents.

After indexing everything, I learned loving the archive feature. Docs I scanned, and don’t want to trash in real got a number in paperless and the same number in the paper folder.

Yeah, had the same trouble with the f-droid version. Tried the github apk and there it isn’t greyed out.

it will ultimately look like a copy, and each successive copy from that copy will look worse. This is of course true with forms of tape media and a lot of others. But it isn’t true of digital media, where I could share a bit-for-bit copy of data that is absolutely identical to the original.

There is one exception: reposted memes, they are losing pixels more and more. /s

Yes, had some cool moment a few days ago, boss asked me face to face if I did this special training 5 years ago.

I took my phone out, open paperless, did a full text search and tada, there it is. The cert for this one.

Yes, that’s correct, mailcow runs on a vps outside with a static IP, I missed that op only asks for RPI hosted.

Idk, exactly I put near 500 pdfs in it, and after 3 days it was complete

• Wireguard + wireguard-ui
• Linkwarden
• Filebrowser
• Dockge
• Trilium
• Paperless-ngx
• OCIS
• AdGuard Home
• Jellyfin
• Rocket-Chat
• Vaultwarden
• Mailcow

That’s my actual mess.
