I recently spent an unreasonable amount of time looking into some of the self-hosted analytics tools that I've seen mentioned here. I wrote up the results of my research into self-hosted analytics tools in a blog post that I wanted to share here because there seem to be few if any resources out there that directly compare my two top contenders, Umami and Plausible.

All of the platforms I looked at offer privacy-compliant, cookie-free, client-side analytics. My focus was mainly on how easy or difficult it is to set up and administer each platform using docker compose. Apologies to any serious Matomo fans out there; I don't use PHP, which makes Matomo seem a lot more complicated to me. I do have a section that briefly mentions other tools at the end, but I couldn't look into everything.

I also documented how I self-hosted Umami Analytics, which is the tool that I ultimately went with.

A lot is made of the fact that Plausible uses ClickHouse while Umami uses PostgreSQL for data storage, but the difference hasn't been noticeable on my (probably over-specced) dedicated server. YMMV.

Having used both Umami and Plausible now, I can sum it all up like this: Umami is easier to set up and collects more complete data, while Plausible has a slicker but more branded user interface.

Hey everyone,

I am currenty planning the hardware for my first server build that's more than an old Celeron Thin Client.
I want it to run a full *arr-Stack, Jellyfin, NAS/Cloud, Immich, Game Servers and various other small services like Lube Logger etc.

For the CPU i would like to go with something like an i3-14100 or a Ryzen 5 5500GT and no external GPU.
Also the Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G & 5650G look pretty interresting because they support ECC. No comparable Intel CPU does that.
The AMD APUs are faster in the common benchmarks and overall I prefer AMD over Intel. Also they are a bit cheaper, especially when finding a good deal on a used Ryzen 5 Pro.
On the other hand I heard that only Intels QSV hardware transcoding is the real deal when it comes to stuff like Plex/Jellyfin.
I can't imagine that the AMD integrated graphics wouldn't be able to handle this kind of work.

Can anyone who knows a bit more about the topic help me with the choice or point me to good sources?
Is there anything else which I forgot to look at when comparing these CPUs? Power consumption should be more or less the same.

Thanks!

I’m building a SaaS but currently SES is very expensive for me. What I should do?

Looking for a self hosted video streaming platform that I can use for live video streams to a website.

Would Jellyfin work or is there other options available?

Hi, I'm currently doing a self-hosting website project and I want to do sth similar to a streaming site where the index.html file is in C:/ Drive but the files are in the HDD drive (G:/). Moving it to C is not an option because there are a lot of files in G:/ and there's not enough space in C:/. I prefer not moving the entirety of apache from C to G so what are my options

When Readarr downloads books, it organizes as follows:

Author
>> Book Name

CWA, as well as Calibre, has a slightly different format"

Author
>> Book Name (id_number)

id_number is a basic interger that increments by one each time a book is imported/added. Without this id_number, CWA does not see that a book has been added to the library.

As such, is it possible to use Readarr and CWA together? Maybe u/WasIstHierLos_ has some ideas?

Hi, anyone knows of a perpetual software that can be used to backup various computers offsite - to an owned server?

Hello everyone,
I'm pulling my hair out on this one.
Im using DUFS in docker (compose) and want to encrypt my passwords like stated in the documentation.

This is my compose file:

version: '3.8'

services:

dufs:
image: sigoden/dufs
container_name: dufs
ports:
- "5000:5000"

volumes:
- cert:/cert
- /mnt/FOLDER:/data # Mounting the host directory ./data to /data inside the container

command: /data/ --allow-all
-a dufsuser:$6$Es8Fy845asLfAh2h$ltNOI9xEThMK2j0DxxPS2NkTMh5eKBDJk.WHN8.oMIvGV2uz2dK9seVDaBhVpHv2NfRDbmhft06U6cUnciPyo/@/:rw --tls-cert /cert/MyCertificate.crt --tls-key /cert/MyKey.key

restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
cert:

I hashed the password using the command: openssl passwd -6 PASSWORD
As you can see I am using https, but it doesnt matter if i switch to http.
Doesnt work regardless of application or Operating System (Windows or Android)

The container itself is returning HTTP Error 401.

If i use a plain text password it works like a charm.

Has anyone had similar issues and found a solution?

Hello everyone.

So I came up with a system that I want to use, but do not know how exactly to integrate it with plex/overseerr. What I want to do is the following:

1. I have a seedbox where I run Overseerr/Radarr/rTorrent/etc.
2. I request a movie, after some time it gets downloaded to seedbox.
3. I sync it to my local storage (also looking for an efficient way to do it, if you have some advices tell me, but this post is not about that). My Plex server is installed locally there. Its good to stream.

The thing is about the storage itself. Ideally I would just like to have 1 HDD attached to my computer. All the movies goes there. Once its full I swipe it out for a fresh HDD (I imagine I would store all the database info of Plex library on separate ssd which won't get removed or changed). Now my questions are:

1. Will Overseerr start downloading all the stuff again, since now it does not see any movies in the clean HDD? If yes, how to prevent it?
2. In Plex client, will I be still able to see the movies from my old HDD's, even though I won't be able to watch them? In ideal case, I am browsing my full movie catalog, I select a movie, if it is on current HDD then all good, if not I can somewhere in info section see the original directory, deduce the HDD disk, plug it into my PC which runs the Plex server (which is under my TV lol), play the movie, all good.

I don't want a huge NAS or DAS partly due to energy consumption, partly for the longetivity of HDD's, partly because what do I do with my 4 bay NAS once I need 5 drives? Get a 6 one? And then once I need 7? I feel that the way I want to do it its nicer, since those HDD's are purely for movies, and I do not rewatch old movies that often. All the things which I would need to access more often will be in external SSD bay, which will be connected all the time, and filling 8TB with photos will definitely take longer than filling it with movies. Anyway, I am just explaining where I coming from bit more now

Thank you very much for your help and answers!

Hi All!

I have been trying to find out what exposure I have through an LTE modem as my WAN. I can't see where this is discussed much, where a VPS has many tutorials on how to secure the WAN side.

Is an LTE connection any more/less secure than a regular ISP, meaning would a home router be "sufficient" protection?

I am intending to build a mobile boat network.

Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a self hosted Day One alternative for journaling?

I’ve been using it for a while, and it’s great, but I wouldn’t mind something I knew for sure was more private.

Hey everyone!

Just want to thank you all for the amazing support Enclosed has received. We just hit 700 stars on GitHub!

The feedbacks I received when I first posted the project here was invaluable, and motivated me to keep working on this side project. I'm really grateful for the contributions, suggestions, and kind words from the community, it feels great to make something that people find useful and enjoy using!

For those who don't know, Enclosed is a minimalistic web app designed for sending private and secure notes. All notes are end-to-end encrypted, with a zero knowledge storage layer and many configurable security options (password, expiration time, self-destruction after reading). It's easily self-hostable and has a CLI for creating notes from the terminal

More information: - Live Instance: enclosed.cc - GitHub: github.com/CorentinTh/enclosed

Feel free to reach out if you have any feedback or need further updates! Thank you again for your support!

Most self hosted apps are developed as alternatives to cloud hosted apps (for example, uptime kuma was developed as an alternative to uptime robot. What's a self hosted app that has no cloud hosted equivalent?

i'm running syncthing on truenas scale to update a folder i rarely modified. usually it took some time to start the synchronization but for some reason now it has just stopped working. (baically when i start synchthing on the devise which has the updated version, nothing happens; i see the other devices online and the files that need to be added but it won't do anything no matter how long i wait)

since the only solution i've found is to delete and synch again the folder (which takes a ton of time cause the lan cable running in my walls is cat5) i'm looking for alternatives cause i've never liked the way synchthing is set up and works.

i only need to synch files on a folder when a device connects to my local network, no remote access, and as i said i'm not updating the folder frequently.

if there's no truenas app or container, i can run a VM or lxc container on proxmox; i don't care if it's resource heavy, i just need it to work

Ive got a large archive of photos, over 250,000 currently, that is basically our extended family photo album with over 250,000 photos arranged chronologically. Currently they are kept in an external library in my own Immich account. Also I have spent a fair amount of time merging people's faces - so that for example we have all my brother's all my dad's, etc etc, photos from the time they were an infant to the present.

The idea is to share these photos with several close family members but also, a fairly large number of more extended family members. I've looked into Immich for these but it seems each user can only see the images they uploaded. They would have to create specialized shared albums or use partner sharing (This has it's own set of issues) to make it visible to others using Immich. I don't particularly like this approach. I just want a place that allows members of family to add pictures and good interface to view them including face tagging, geolocation, AI, memories etc.

Hey y'all, as pretty much the title says

I couldn't really find much online and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience or idea how I can migrate from Jira completely over to Zammad?

I'd appreciate it! Thanks a lot in forward
