OnlyOffice is the only one that I’ve used that has a good looking UI, works out of the box and very good compatibility (across Microsoft and other document standards). Install is just one flatpak away. Highly recommend.

lal309,

In my opinion it really comes down to support, price (first year and renewal) and ethics.

For the ethics piece, if you think Google is an evil company then avoid Google Domains, as an example.

lal309,

Fair point. I failed to mentioned features in my previous comment. Things like WHOIS Privacy are essential to me and I imagine it is for most of us (self hosters)

lal309,

Absolutely agree! Just pointing it out in case OP runs into a registrar that doesn’t offer this

lal309,

Didn’t even know

lal309,

Did not know about this one! Just added it to my pi hole instance. Thank you!

lal309,

When you created your containers, did you create a “frontend” and “backend” docker network? Typically I crate those two networks (or whatever name you want) and connect all my services (gitlab, Wordpress, etc) to the “backend” network then connect nginx to that same network (so it can talk to the container) but I also add nginx to the “frontend” network (typically of host type).

What this does is it allows you to map docker ports to host ports for that nginx container ONLY and since you have added nginx to the network that can talk to the other containers you don’t have to forward or expose any ports that are not required (3000 for gitlab) to talk from the outside world into your nginx but your containers will still talk to each other through native ports but only within that “backend” network (which does not have forwarded ports).

You would want to setup your proxy hosts exactly like you have them in your post except that in your Forward Hostname you would use the container name (gitlab for example)

So basically it goes like this

Internet > gitlab.domain.com > DNS points to your VPS > Nginx receives requests (frontend network with mapped ports like 443:443 or 80:80) > Nginx checks proxy hosts list > forwards request to gitlab container (because nginx and gitlab are both in the same “backend” network) > Log in to Gitlab > Code until your fingers smoke! > Drink coffee

Hope this help!

lal309,

You got it! As long as nginx can reach that service container, it will forward the request to it.

service1.example.com is configured in nginx with a proxy host of service1:1234, service2.example.com is proxied to service2:8080 and so on.

Okay I’ll check this out. I’ve not touched Blender out of intimidation. Every time I install it, I’m just overwhelmed with the insane amount of buttons and levers you can pull or push.

I guess it’s time to sit down, bite down on a stick and do it.

lal309,

Say I have an stl of car. I would like to take that stl and import it into , push some buttons and sprinkle fairy dust to create a wireframe of said car (like in the link provided in the post) the export that wireframe to an stl, svg, or whatever I can to be used on my laser or printer.

Alternatively, if such “import” feature does not exist, then use to manually create the wireframe of a car then export it the same way as above.

lal309,

I’ll check out that series. Need a bit of a jumó start to get started.

lal309,

Okay that sounds like importing/exporting an stl should be an easy task. Let’s hope it is for me hahaha

What quality PLA filament brand have you standardized on?

Typically I would just buy whatever brand had the cheapest white color PLA (I like to paint my print) and quality wasn’t always top of mind. Now I have several prints that I want to do in all kids of different colors and quality matters. Given the new color and quality requirements, it no longer makes sense to get the...

lal309,

I’ve been toying with the idea of standing it up. Any recommendations for the GUI side?

lal309,

I got ya. Took a quick look at that link and it looks like the client is Windows specific which is frowned upon and permanently blacklisted in this house!!!

Still, I appreciate the reply

lal309,

Well…. you just blocked off my calendar for the weekend!

lal309,

Have you taken a look at CloudBeaver? I’m not sure I understand what an ERD is but I’ve used this to manage and work with databases before. Pretty easy, UI is not bad at all and it’s self host-able (through docker). I don’t know if it meets your criteria 100% but worth checking out.

lal309,

I do remember being a bit lost with initial connection to a postgres when I first spun up the app. I clicked around for a few minutes but after than it has been very handy. My use case was extremely basic as I just needed to manipulate some records that I did not know the right query for and to visualize the rows I needed.

lal309,

Sad indeed. Maybe raising an issue on GitHub? Even if you don’t end up using cloudbeaver, it’s worth reporting it. Maybe they don’t know there’s a problem with this component of their app.

lal309,

I went with the OpenSSL CA as cryptography has been a weakness of mine and I needed to tackle it. Glad I did, learned a lot throughout the process.

Importing certs is a bit of a pain at first but I just made my public root ca cert valid for 3 years (maybe 5 I can’t remember) and put that public cert in a file share accessible to all my home devices. From each device I go to the file share once, import the public root ca cert and done. It’s a one time per device pain so it’s manageable in my opinion.

Each service gets a 90 day cert signed by root ca and imported to nginx proxy manager to serve up for the service (wikijs.mydomain.io).

Anything externally exposed I use let’s encrypt for cert generation (within NPM) and internally I use the OpenSSL setup.

If you document your process and you’ve done it a few times, it’s gets quicker and easier.

lal309,

Didn’t know you could do this. Interesting!

lal309,

When I was looking for a DMS I ran across MayanEDMS. I never got a chance to stand up any DMS but it may be worth checking out their site in case it meets your needs.

Not exactly DMS but I have a WikiJS instance running with MFA enabled and access control. For example, my wife and I can access a set of documents we deem sensitive but other users can’t. I use WikiJS for all my documentation needs.

lal309, (edited )

I use rclone as well and was in your position not long ago (looking for a non complicated backup solution). Landed on rclone based on feedback and what I read online. Spent about an hour reading rcl one’s documentation and built a script to do the backups daily.

OP if you go the rclone route, I can share my template script with you to get you started.

The script is pretty simple: makes sure there’s a logging file created on the system ahead of time, timestamps, the actual backup job, error checking, notification via discord (success or failure) and log output to the file created above.

Edit: I forgot to mention that recently (don’t know exactly when) Proxmox released something call Proxmox Backup Server (PBS). I have not used it but I imagine it integrates well with your Proxmox cluster but even then you may want to look at a complimentary solution to backup that server too.

Edit: Even if you go with Proxmox Backup Server, you may want to thinking about how you backup the backup server. Preferably off site, in my opinion.

lal309,

Try through the browser first as suggested by someone else. If you are running the Docker container, check you port mappings.

lal309,

Yea. Thanks.

lal309,

Okay sure same thing as Windows. If you aren’t reckless with the things you install and run then you are likely fine BUT there’s always a chance. All it takes is one slip up. Same logic as having a lock in the door knob and a deadbolt. By your logic (and many others), the lock on the door knob is sufficient and that may be okay with you BUT I’m gonna put a deadbolt on too just in case.

We can argue about this all day long. You will have valid points and so will I.

lal309,

Hahahahaha this actually made me chuckle. Thanks for that!

lal309,

Okay cool. Thanks.

lal309,

Not sure this is what I’m looking for as it appears to be an XDR SIEM vendor.

lal309,

I avoid McAfee like the plague!

lal309,

A request for proposal? If that’s what you mean then no. I’m asking for my home setup not for a business/enterprise. If I missed the mark then please elaborate.

lal309,

I am running SMB although it’s not publicly available and setup with specific users having specific access to specific shares.

Good note on crowdsec

lal309,

How does it obfuscate the point? A layered approach to security.

lal309,

My use case is different (B2 for offsite data backups) but I went down the path of rclone and it has been working out very well. A lot better than I expected. I read their official docs (installation, usage, the backblaze setup and crypt) to get started. Played at the command line for a few minutes and realize how quick and easy it was. Wrote a script to automate it and off to the races I went!

lal309,

Just went searching for something like this as my wife wanted to start a “journal”. The requirements were simple, private, nothing too crazy complicated to use, web interface, easy setup and tear down (in case she didn’t like it). Started up an instance of Ghost, way overkill, was looking at WriteFreely, stood up an instance of Bookstack. She’s trying it out now, nothing bad to report so far. The hierarchy is a bit confusing to grasp but when you put it in the context of something like shelve = My Journal, Book= 2023 Vacation or 2023 or Homeschooling, Chapters = 1st week of Vacation or First year Homeschool, Pages = Todays date. It started clicking with her a bit more. If you find something better, please report back!

lal309,

As a new player to Zelda in general, this is helpful but there’s so much to this game that I don’t even really know how to use this effectively.

lal309,

I’ve been trying to not look things up and just play the game with whatever challenges I’m still facing.l but just last night I figured out that I can use the Korok Leaf to steer and push the make shift boats/floats (whatever their actual name is) in the water.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say if that’s a big accomplishment for me then I have a looooong way to go in this game hahahaha

lal309,

That’s the thing, if I do a count of the objects in the actual storage I get 27k but based on the count of the two devices that I backup using PhotoPrism I should have at least 31k between the two phones. So somehow I’ve lost ~5k. It may have not been a big deal to just do a full sync with PhotoSync again to copy over whatever I was missing between the two phones and storage BUT given the fact that I had to rebuild Photoprism’s database I’m not confident that the new database will have the same unique Id for each picture as before so if I kick off another full sync with PhotoSync it may copy everything again because “the new database doesn’t have a record of that picture”.

I reinfected everything once the new database was built but again I’m not sure if the new unique ids or however Photoprism knows that it already has that object will match and skip the upload or if it will just accept as a new a object.

lal309,

Well that’s good news. For now, I’ve created a different path in my array. I’ve reconfigured photoprism to look at this new path for the originals and cleared out the database one more time. I’m in the process of fully reuploading/resyncing my devices (two phones). Once I have that then I will write up a script to see which objects are missing from the old path to the new and viceversa to figure out why Im short ~5,000 objects. Once I have that list then I can rehollad the missing objects and im back in business (hopefully)

lal309,

This right here

lal309,

This is what I do only because cryptography it’s a big weakness of mine so I wanted to work through it to understand it. I ended up setting up a raspberry pi with Debian and went at it with guidance from a YouTube video. Notice I said guidance, to get started. From there, I built my own CA server and issue certs to my services, upload the certs to NPM and apply them to the services I need.

Documented every step of the way and made templates out of config files.

It’s not the sexiest solution BUT I have a way better handle on cryptography than I did before.

lal309,

Don’t shy away from it based on how difficult you THINK it is. It’s really not that complicated once the concept and the different parts of what makes that lock icon appear on your browser are explained in detail. I was in your exact position, paralyzed by the thought of tackling such a topic. If you have the time, have a look at the video I linked. Everything is explained really well (although it is a bit dry and long at the beginning but it’s worth it). After that, if you have questions, dm me (if that’s a thing in Lemmy).

I would say I would give you my templates/instructions if you’d like but that would do you more harm than good.

lal309,

The script I’m building is coming up nicely. I have it checking for error codes, logging to a file and sending discord notifications. Next step is to finish up all the rclone copy’s and syncs I want to do and then trying to encrypt the data client side before uploading to cloud. I’ve seen mention of crypt but can’t find it in the official rclone docs (yet).

lal309,

UPDATE: Decide to give rclone a try and try to automate it all through scripts. So far I the rclone script checking for errors, logging to a file and sending discord notifications.

lal309,

I don’t need the whole rclone.conf file right? Just the authentication stuff for the underlying remote, the password for crypt and the salt for crypt. If I have that shouldn’t I be able to recreate the access and subsequently the decryption key to be used on some other machine?
