You were right.

I've spent over 100 hours trying to make Stalwart and various mail clients work. I've learned a lot on the way, including that I was right 15 years ago when I vowed to never again host my own email. lol

Edit: I want to be clear that I don't intend this as a condemnation of Stalwart. I think it's a product with amazing potential, and it's quick and easy to get it up and running. Some of the details do become more challenging, especially if you are trying to do things in a repeatable way, with a tool such as Ansible. Also, much of my time was spent on things other than Stalwart, such as searching for suitable email clients and SMTP forwarding services, retooling backup processes and internal email sending, etc.

Hey everyone, Like many of you, I found Linux Journey to be an awesome resource for learning Linux in a fun, approachable way. Unfortunately, it hasn't been actively maintained for a while.

So I decided to rebuild it from scratch and give it a second life. Introducing Linux Path — a modern, refreshed version of Linux Journey with updated content, a cleaner design, and a focus on structured, beginner-friendly learning.

It’s open to everyone, completely free, mobile-friendly, and fully open source. You can check out the code and contribute here: Here

If you ever found Linux Journey helpful, I’d love for you to take a look, share your thoughts, and maybe even get involved. I'm building this for the community, and your feedback means a lot.

Hello everyone!

After a chaotic past, I’m excited to share that Wizarr has been completely rewritten, back to basics. We're leaving the past behind and rethinking the whole point of Wizarr.

The problem: Inviting your Friends/Family to your Plex server Is complicated and tedious. It's also a hard concept for them to get their head around.

The solution: Wizarr makes it easy to invite users to your server by simply sending them a link, and guides them through the process of getting set up.

🔥 Features in 2025.5

• Beautiful UI to Manage Plex/Jellyfin/Emby Users
• Effortlessly Invite Users via Invite Links
• Guide New Users on the functioning of your server
• Multi-tiered invitation access
• Time-limited membership options
• Request system integration (Overseerr, Ombi, etc.)
• Discord invite support
• Notifications via NTFY and Discord
• Customisable Invitation Steps via Markdown

Coming Soon Features:

• Multi Admin Support
• Emby Guide
• Advanced Api to make Wizarr incredibly powerful

All existing settings, invites, and users will be automatically migrated if you point the container at your old database.db. However, you will need to recreate your admin account, as well as re-enter your Token/API Key (for security)

🙏 Feedback & Contributions

Your feedback is invaluable:

• 🔧 Report bugs or suggest enhancements on GitHub Issues
• 💬 Join the discussion here or hop into our Discord
• ⭐ Star the repo if you like the changes!

Enjoy, and happy streaming!

Hello there!

At home I currently serve a SMB server where I store mainly photos and some other documents from our household's life.

It's all organized in a way that it's easy for me to navigate to however I'm not the only one using it. As such it got to my attention that the whole process of connecting to the server (via phone or computer) is not pleasant for anyone else here ^'

That being said I was looking for alternatives so that the whole user experience is more pleasant for everyone else.

This being said, ideally I would have sort of a frontend that would make it easier to look for existing files and post new ones.

I gave NextCloud a try but after reading a few things I got the feeling that I had to start from scratch.

Are there any alternatives you know of? Could you point me in any direction?

Thanks in advance!

My sideproject GoAway just released version 0.47.0, and has seen lots of changes and improvements since the last time I posted about it. As a reminder, this is a DNS sinkhole written in Go with a sleek and modern dashboard out of the box to manage the server.

Some of the changes done since last time:

• Prefetching
• Notifications
• API keys
• JSON logging
• Export database
• Easier config file
• Ability to update block lists
• And much more

If this sounds interesting, then you can find the repository here: https://github.com/pommee/goaway

And as always, thoughts and feedback is always appreciated.

This service is meant for minority group use. But, I guess I will just share this here since it can be cross used for multiple other interest too.

I focused on youtube vtuber only (hololive). Twitch is not support at the moment.

Archived V

https://github.com/jasonyang-ee/ArchivedV

Function:

1. Enter youtube channel link for tracking
2. Enter keyword list to check
3. If keyword(s) matched to any of the new stream from all of the tracked youtube channel(s), then it will start yt-dlp to download the stream live.

Purpose:

North America song has difficult copyright rule, and it is causing vtuber having to unarchive their singing stream. People often will want to save it and watch later. (We all have work and life, following all live stream is not possible).

Cross Use:

Any youtube channel can be tracked here with the keyword list.

To Run:

Your usual docker compose setup with default UID:1000

Bind mount a data folder to persist setting.

Bind mount a download folder to save video to desired path.

WebUI exposed on container port 3000. Route/Proxy this to host port however you wish.

I am looking for cheap or free web based email app that supports multiple email accounts and with unified inbox view.... I am unable to find one that meet my requirement...

I know there are desktop clients support this (outlook, mailspring etc) but I am looking for web based as I have many devices web based is the best.

Zoho: no unified inbox view (I have paid email account with zoho)

Spike: $10 per month for more than 3 accounts

Yahoo: does not support IMAP, only oauth

Any other suggestions?

Hey everyone,

After many late nights and a lot of caffeine, I’m proud to share something I’ve been quietly building for a while: Cognito AI Search, a self-hosted, local-first tool that combines private AI chat (via Ollama) with anonymous web search (via SearXNG) in one clean interface.

I wanted something that would let me:

• Ask questions to a fast, local LLM without my data ever leaving my machine
• Search the web anonymously without all the bloat, tracking, or noise
• Use a single, simple UI, not two disconnected tabs or systems

So I built it.
No ads, no logging, no cloud dependencies, just pure function. The blog post dives a little deeper into the thinking behind it and shows a screenshot:
👉 Cognito AI Search v1.0.0 — Reclaim Your Online Autonomy

I built this for people like me, people who want control, speed, and clarity in how they interact with both AI and the web. It’s open source, minimal, and actively being improved.

Would love to hear your feedback, ideas, or criticism. If it’s useful to even a handful of people here, I’ll consider that a win. 🙌

Thanks for checking it out.

so i have a toyota rav 4 i used to use sub streamer on my phone with a subsonic server at home but i noticed that plex actually worked with my car like it would display on my screen and i could access it with voice commands wich was way better then just connecting my phone to the car and playing music that way.

but honestly i don't car for plex's music capabilities to much its fine but could be better.

Does anyone know a subsonic app that will work with android auto and display itself on my console screen like plex amp does.

I won't bore you with the backstory but basically I have been left with a VPS (2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 80GB SSD, at Ionos UK) that I have to pay for 3 years as it runs on a contract basis. It's cheap enough that the cost doesn't bother me, but I would like to do something with it.

The original purpose for it is now irrelevant (I did what I meant to do with it elsewhere in a better way).

So... what fun, interesting and technically challenging things do you suggest I try to host on it? I already host (or have done so in the past) Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Bitwarden, homepage, Calibre, Jitsi, Nextcloud, Synapse, Element, Immich, and my latest foray was two DNS servers behind a load balancer.

I would like to host more of my infrastructure, I really enjoyed learning about DNS and I'd love to get more into core network services, but not sure what's next.

I've got a bunch of (legally obtained) 4K remux bluray rips and was looking to host them on something like Emby or Kodi so I can watch them on my TV. However my TV isn't great and doesn't support any of these apps natively, so I was looking into getting a streaming device like a Fire Stick or Nvidia Shield. Generally, what is the best hardware I can go with for lossless 4K HDR file sharing? Thanks :)

I have a home server running on Ubuntu server 24.04. All my devices are linux based. My SO wants to use Power BI which does not run on any OS besides Windows. I am been using virt-manager to run Tiny11 to run Power BI.

I am wondering if there are any services that: 1. Allows me to start / stop virtual machines (i plan to run a tiny11 on the virtual machine) 2. Possibly have means to start and stop the vm via an admin portal (best case a web based interface) 3. Even better if VNC and NoVNC capabilities is baked in.

Please do not suggest Power BI alternatives.

Thank you for your time.

I'm moving from NPM to Caddy, and I like it so far despite a few hiccups.
One thing I'm noticing with Caddy is that it has a pretty decent support for mTLS.

The more I read about mTLS, the more I like it. I know that importing certs into a trust store is non-trivial, and the UX is vastly different across OSes, but I'm willing to walk my few users through it manually.

In turn, I basically have an instant VPN for the price of configuring it once per-device, and the fact that a failure to present a valid cert cuts the connection at the handshake stage means that I'm preventing a whole class of security issues. I don't need to rate limit login forms, I don't need to worry about AI crawlers overloading my infrastructure.

But, if I'm understanding this correctly, when I generate the client cert, I need to embed a user ID, like an email, so the next question is why can't I authenticate my user against that? I don't know much about SSO (in fact, part of the reason I'm rebuilding my homelab is to learn and integrate SSO), but this seems like it'd be a killer feature. After onboarding my user once, they get instant access to all the services, and never have to see a login page.

So, is there a way to achieve this mTLS authentication where if a valid cert is presented, the user is automatically logged in (similar to the way it works in corporate environments)? Do any homelab friendly SSO tools allow that?
I looked at the common ones, such as Aithentik, but I could not find if it was supported (unless it has a different name).

Does anyone run this kind of setup and can you offer any insights?
