I'm currently using the RSS reader in Nextcloud. There are a few apps that can link up to it, and you can also just generate a PWA for it. It's protected by whatever auth your Nextcloud instance might have (in my case, it's 2FA). If you use it make sure you take an OPML export out of it. I forgot to do so before wiping out my Nextcloud install when I was redoing my servers this weekend. This required me to redeploy the SQL database for the old install, log into it and find the entry with the URLs of my feeds and then manually copy and paste them back into the subscribe button. Had I done a proper OPML export it would have been a single button click to restore.

Looks like miniflux is what I'm going to try since I can set it up with google oauth. I don't think I'll ever use the webapp. It'll just feed into Reeder on my iOS devices.

Iirc the API endpoint is it’s own thing so you could just set up a rule/path/whatever to that without oauth enforced and go about your business. That would have your feed sitting out there but at worst that would result in someone criticizing your taste in articles.

I want to finally get around to putting together a home NAS so I’m not constantly running out of space for all my downloaded Linux boot discs. I already have a small pile of hard drives floating around from various old PCs, but they’re all different sizes (as in data), some are solid state, some are spinning rust; is there any type of thing I can buy and just plug all my drives in, and have it configure them all into a single RAID-like volume? Or any other recommendations for how to best make use of assorted (but perfectly functional) hard drives?

Yeah that's pretty much unraids original use case. Don't trust it with your data alone, though that's true for any solution. It's also fairly minimal on the janitoring side up to a point.

On a side note, any love for proxmox? I've started using it for labs and proof of concepts lately and found it very powerful particularly it's helped get my head around openvswitch.

Proxmox is cool and good and finally stopped that “pay for dark mode” bullshit. Not that it matters, I had an ansible playbook that would fix that right up.

Proxmox is great. Set up a storage device in it to a NAS (or set up a Proxmox Backup Server) and set up your VMs to back up nightly to it. As long as you have the qemu-guest-agent installed in them, so it can take a proper snapshot they'll only go down for mere seconds, and you'll have full image snapshots of them you can revert to. If you add a second (or 3rd node) you can also set up HA mode to have the cluster automatically restart your VMs on another node if one dies on you, or you need to take one down for maintenance. You'd need to set up a shared cephfs storage, so they all have the up-to-date state for the vm to spin it up with no data loss though. It way less complicated to set up that for HA than trying to wrap your brain around Kubernetes. Though it doesn't have the scaling capability that the latter has.

Yeah Proxmox rules. I haven't used a competitor to it, but even as a complete noob in the space, setting it up was as easy as following a YouTube video. I've got VM backups going to a Synology rather than a Proxmox backup server and it seems to be working well enough. When I retire my 5-year-old ~~gaming PC~~ I'm gonna toss Proxmox on it and add it to my two-machine cluster so I can finally play around with HA shenanigans. I figure it'll become the Plex machine if/when I retire my Macbook Pro from its current duties.

I've got the same problem, and I've been beating my head against a solution.

Currently I'm using the following software:
In the interest of completeness, I'm also doing access control with Caddy 2 and SimpleAuth. I'm okay with this setup. Could be better, but it's not awful. The latest hot thing in this space appears to be Immich. I don't personally want to use Immich for reasons that somebody's probably going to have a huge problem with and I don't feel like defending in a post intended to help somebody else out.

What's wrong with Immich? I've heard nothing but good stuff about it, other than it still being in really active development and putting stuff into that might be risky due to breaking changes between versions. As for me personally, I currently just use Nextcloud which seems to work well enough for me as it auto-uploads any new photos I take. The sharing functionality for albums and such isn't amazing though.

I use Immich because I'm lazy and couldn't care less if I have to export my photos from it in order to another app in the future. I'd also like to continue to beat the dead horse that is: Your NAS should never be the only place you store your most cherished memories - you're one house fire away from losing everything. Make sure you have a Cloud-based back-up like iCloud or Google Photos as well.

I'm trying out Nextcloud (with Memories) and it seems to work... okay. The pain point for me is not great android app integration and it's just slow as hell. I'll give Immich a shot at some point as well. I think Immich does store media in a custom way, but should be fine for me.

My use case is only single user, but my understanding is that they've recently released some multi-user support with an eventual goal of multi-library support. I haven't followed it too closely though, so my intel may be bad here. I've seen some recent posts about it on /r/photoprism (which the maintainers are quite active on as well). People seem to be flipping out about how they are paywalling premium features. I am fine with it. I want the maintainers to be able to live comfortably and continue to improve the software. It certainly falls short of the advanced AI features in Google Photos, being able to search for things that are in the images themselves, facial recognition, etc. The photoprism equivalent of that stuff is certainly not at slick as Google's, but it does exist: https://docs.photoprism.app/developer-guide/metadata/classification/ Development is active, they seem to have long term sustainability in mind, they have good principals about owning your data, etc. For that reason I am happy to support the project and hope to see it continue to be a more compelling alternative to Google Photos. I think it is quite good in the state is is currently in, but I do find myself missing just how well Google Photos is able to do things. For syncing photos, I use Nextcloud (which I require VPN to access). So it's a little cumbersome. Of course, that is a trade-off we are usually willing to make in the self hosting world! For now, I continue to use both Photoprism and Google Photos, and hopefully one day I find that I am no longer compelled to search for something in Google Photos  Blurb3947 posted:Here's a weird one, anyone use some sort of kanban system for home poo poo? I've tried things like reminders or LifeRPG but nothing has really stuck. Oh yes definitely. I use Trello, but it's been something that I'd like to switch to a self hosted solution. I've tried out a few different options (there are plenty in this space...) but haven't quite made the plunge on using one. The trello web & mobile interface is pretty slick. Same reason I still continue to use Newsblur over some of the self-hosted RSS reader solutions.

Put that “media is replaceable” backup strategy to the test. I use a MacBook as a plex server so I stupidly have an EXFAT drive in a RAID attached to it. Apple update borked the drive table so I had to reformat. I was very close to throwing my hands up and finally replacing the MacBook with an actual desktop so I could use a file system that doesn’t hate itself but decided it’d be faster to just rebuild from the existing setup I have. Lightning won’t strike twice, right?
