Given your requirements, IDK why people are recommending different VPNs and such. No way I’m going through that with my mom.
For me, the easiest route was Cloudflare Tunnel. No need to fart around with exposing ports, has some baseline security, TLS, easy for my users.
The only thing you’ll want to be sure to do is create a cache rule to bypass caching on your jellyfin domain.
For what it’s worth, CasaOS isn’t actually an operating system. It absolutely works as an easy way to install and manage your self-hosted apps if you aren’t comfortable with the command line, but you still need to have a working Linux installation.
Yunohost is kind of similar as far as making things easier, but it operates as a standalone OS, so might be more what you’re looking for.
I installed Capyreader for the capybara, but stayed for how nice the app is.
I think a lot of the responses here get at the fact that Mastodon does take a little time and work to curate a feed that you enjoy.
I run a little instance with a few active users, so I follow them. I don’t tend to follow hashtags, but I check them out now and then to look for interesting posters. Browse the FediFollows account and https://fedi.directory/ . Use a hashtag or two when you post sometimes and check out the accounts that share or like your post.
Follow accounts liberally, but unfollow just as liberally they just don’tdo it for you. Eventually, you’ll end up with something that you enjoy.
Everyone has said Nextcloud, and I agree.
I will also add though that I keep Nextcloud on a VPS rather than hosting it at home. Easier for me in terms of backups and storage, plus I don’t have to worry about a kid or my wife unplugging the PC to charge a phone or something. 🙃
My reasoning and setup are different, but I’m also looking at DAS solutions this week for a media server.
After just about a month of hosting some things on a Raspberry Pi 4, I think it’s about time to work on repurposing this mini PC that hasn’t been doing much the last few years and keep growing my services.
To that end, can anyone point me to a good, thorough guide to getting going with Sonarr? I installed it, but then realized I needed to add a client and Prowlarr and I feel like I just started in the middle.
I agree with this. I’m running CasaOS on a Pi4. Having the initial ease of one click installs gives you a great start, then you’ll start to find that you need to manage some port assignments, then you’ll start learning about Docker environment variables, then you’ll be managing custom installs.
Awesome-Selfhosted is a great resource. Just browse and try something interesting.
My own recent journey went like this:
Run AdGuard Add DokuWiki, Navidrome, Mealie Set up Cloudflare Tunnels Add FreshRSS, Homer, SearchXNG
I also have Nextcloud on a VPS, but the fun is on the Pi.
Thanks! It just threw an error at me when I launched it, but I’ll see what I can do. Based of the warnings in the admin panel, there isn’t anything critical for me to address, I just hate that orange.
Since it’s winter and I mostly don’t want to leave my house, I busted out an unused Raspberry Pi 4b a couple weeks ago. Started with CasaOS and AdGuard. Have now added a few other services including Navidrome to serve up a lot of local-area music for myself and friends. Got a Cloudflare tunnel set up, then some authentication through CF as well. And finally secured a static IP from my ISP. This is the farthest along I’ve ever gotten with any of this and it’s been going great. Nearly every hurdle I’ve encountered I’ve been able to work through.
Two things causing me grief today though:
I also have Nextcloud hosted on a VPS and I cannot get to the point of running occ commands. First it wasn’t found, then no php cli, then just errors. I gave up.
I’m using Homer because it’s just so simple, but the theming and CSS is driving me nuts. Sure, I can change colors, but will this little bar in the neon theme change from 4em to 100% for me? NOPE. Override fonts? Nosir. All good though.
I’ve been looking for something to track my physical book, music, and game collections. An instance of this might work nicely. Thanks!
This is an excellent explanation! Nice job simplifying it.
I’m a Salesforce admin. On a personal level I like it because it’s kind of a mess and I can spend time on random crap. That’s not to say that I think it’s GOOD.
Last week I had some issue and decided to give Agentforce a chance before opening a case. It rephrased a standard help page I had already read. I rephrased my question with more detail. It rephrased the same help page again. I opened a case.
Turns out what I was seeing was a known issue. Support gave me a link to the page and a fix was already pending. So the bot that they are using for case deflection doesn’t appear to search known issues at all. If you’re trying to get everyone to buy into a product, your implementation of it should be strikingly good at what it’s supposed to do.
I was really impressed by this feature when I signed up recently! It baffles me a little bit to see newspapers and things not taking advantage of it.
Once upon a time. But my understanding of this:

Is that so long as you don’t use their CDN for your content, which is where the bypass cache rule comes in, you’re okay.
