I’ve been using Authelia with several OIDC integrations for a while now. Works great. They’ve released a huge update like a day ago too. Out of the ones you listed, it’s very lightweight too. The docs are a bit all over the place but it is quite comprehensive.

I did look at Zitadel and tried setting it up myself but I just couldn’t get it to work. The docs are a bit vague.

If you just want to view logs, then a lightweight viewer I really recommend is Dozzle.

I’ve tried nearly every selfhosted dashboard out there and in the end settled for static html/css/js. If you want to access links quickly by typing abbreviations then use something like https://github.com/Ozencb/tilde-enhanced. A lot lighter and can be used with an existing webserver too.

Set tailscale to use your dns server to resolve your services (or all traffic if you prefer). Assuming your dns server is on 100.x.x.1:53, then put 100.x.x.1 as a nameserver.

How about Uptime Kuma status pages? They’re separate from the admin page and you can add Docker containers as monitors.

SFTPGo supports OIDC and has a lot of ACL features. It allows users to have their own folders, as well as shared volumes between a group.

I got ads removed on mine by asking chat support. The only caveat is it needs to be registered to an account. If you get a patient employee and ask kindly that the ads are not appropriate for children, it usually works.

I didn’t have ads either but being able to use KoReader is a good enough motivation for me.

• You can customize it a lot to your own liking and they do something clever with page changing that it seems a lot more responsive.
• Another thing is I used to have to convert epubs to KFX to get nice hyphenation and good typography but on KoReader you seem to be able to customize all those typography things with whatever epub you throw at it.
• Also, I have a local Calibre OPDS endpoint, you can add that in KoReader and download books over wirelessly. WiFi needs to be on when doing that but with a few tweaks you have read only root partiton so Kindle shouldn’t update.

Overall there are a lot of steps to it, if you’re comfortable with your current setup it’s not worth the hassle/time.

Anna’s Archive, Libgen, Mobilism, IRC (I use a self-hosted service called OpenBooks for this). I use Calibre for metadata sorting, plug Kindle in and move books that way and keep it on airplane mode.

Also, new Kindle jailbreak for <= 5.16.2.1.1 if anyone’s interested. Managed to get KoReader on my 10th Gen Basic.

Not at the moment, no. But it’s worth it for the range of things you find on there.

This might be an issue with opensearch.xml, which is a standard for how browsers recognise search engines.

See here:

https://github.com/hnhx/librex/blob/main/opensearch.xml.example

I don’t know how you’re hosting it, but when I was hosting LibreX, I had to make an opensearch.xml with the correct domain and bind mount it to the correct location. I don’t exactly remember the details since I moved to Searxng.

Also, if you’re not aware, LibreX was forked to LibreY, which is the updated repo.

Navidrome replaced Spotify for me, with Symfonium on Android, I’m never going back. On PC you can use any Subsonic client, and there are plenty I threw Tailscale on top to access it when I go out.

Org-mode, with Orgzly on Android, sync via a WebDav server, which you can also mount on you PC and literally use any editor to edit.

Okay I think I might know what you mean? I just tried doing that and got it to work. We can compare what we did. Here’s mine.

I created a shared folder called “Shared”

then I create a group called “All” and mount the “Shared” folder to /shared

I went to a user and add them to group “All”

Examining that user’s files

I can navigate into that shared folder and access everything (I have stuff in there already).

To set up the folder, which I called “shared”, I set the home directory for it to /srv/sftpgo/data/shared. For reference, my user home directory is /srv/sftpgo/data/user1. Then to allow user1 to access it, I mount it as a virtual folder. Is this what you did?

I bet for the owners of public instances, it must be a constant fight against YouTube’s IP banning or rate limiting.

If you have the resources, you could self-host your own private instance for you and your friends or family. I haven’t had performance issue with my private instance so far.

+1 for Netdata, very fast and a lot of alerts have already been set-up. It also has a lot of plugins, as well as the ability to use Prometheus metric endpoints. The local dashboard is near parity with the cloud one, and setting it up is as easy as running their bootstrap scripts. There is decent documentation too, if one gets stuck.

slsk forever

I think all the RAM related issues were closed a while back and were supposedly fixed. I just don’t understand why when interfacing with the front-end, it uses so much it would get OOM kill itself with 1.5 GB allocated memory.

Every page, as well as loading in the initial dashboard from an idle state, spikes the RAM. Are there no clever lazyloading happening or something? Surely viewing and modifying database entries can’t be this memory intensive?

Maybe it’s just an unoptimized Python thing. I stopped self-hosting stuff written in Python, with the exception of Linkding (which takes a while to also submit a link) and Whoogle.

I stopped using Paperless-NGX for this reason. It eats RAM and CPU insanely even after configuring it to stop doing OCR and no ML. I wish there is a Go alternative.
