Is there a way to share groups of files at once? For example I currently share tax files with my accountant using seafile so right now I scan everything and just drop it into a folder. I would love to use paperless but being able to share folder that can be downloaded all at once is a critical workflow for me.
The annoying part is making and mounting the configuration file. https://owncloud.dev/ocis/guides/ocis-local-docker/
Android app doesn’t have file search last I checked (pro feature).
No full text search on app or website (pro feature)
The app will just randomly stop being able to connect to the database. I use docker and mariadb. It will just fail for no reason. Restarting the docker stack doesn’t fix it. I use the redeploy button on portainer to get it working again. I use lots of databases in many docker apps, nothing else does this.
I want to change to owncloud OCIS
Most reverse proxies can only do http traffic. Traefik can do TCP and UDP, the camera is probably UDP
Yes, hairpin can make it work but some routers don’t seem to do it well.
The other issue is that on wireguard by DNS is set to pi hole and without doing this my internal stuff wasn’t working without doing this
Others have already answered but this might help understand.
On cloudflare DNS, I set my domain to point to external IP address my ISP gives me for my router. Ie example.com points to 107.474.274.12
Within my network, my internal DNS (pi hole) is set to point to the internal IP address of my server. Ie example.com points to 192.168.1.23
Note that in the first example, the router has port forwarding so that all https traffic (port 443) is forwarded to the internal IP of my server, 192.168.1.23. I’m both example, the traffic ends up in the same place but the route it takes depends on if the traffic starts inside my network (example 2) or outside of the internet (example 1).
Just as an FYI its done like this because its vastly faster than flat files.
This is also the reason why NextCloud has lots of complaints about speed and files getting locked and not syncing properly.
Apps that are way faster (seafile, owncloud GO) use proprietary file stores.
Obsidian Live sync works extremely well and quickly to the point that the update speed is almost like a google docs with multiple editors. Couchdb is why.
Lol at the obsidian criticisms in the self hosted community :)
Couchdb is like 20 years old and not exactly ‘novel’
I setup a docker for his like 2 years ago and did nothing other than update once in that time. Live sync has otherwise been rock solid on multiple devices.
Obsidian not being open source is very valid criticism. The above 2 things really aren’t.
What was wrong with obsidian?
The self hosted live sync plugin has been rock solid between my windows, Linux and android clients.
I do exactly this with traefik.
I followed this guide: https://youtu.be/liV3c9m_OX8
I’ve recently started using a kanban board which has been working well for me.
There are several options, I use obsidian for this because I can easily make a task into a note for further details.
Not FOSS of course but the .md file are easy to access and backup and i use the self hosted live-sync plugin to sync between 3 devices
I suspect most people open it via subdomain or cloudflare tunnel and it seems secure enough. Haven’t seen reports of people getting hacked left and right.
VPN Certainly is more secure and works for a few people but becomes annoying if you have users that don’t want to mess with a VPN. It also helps if you want to make a public share link to someone without an account.
Wireguard uses public and private keys which are designed from the ground up to be used over plain text to establish the handshake so it isn’t an issue. Same idea with ssh keys and ssl keys
Split tunneling with wireguard is probably the best way for this.
There are many tutorials, here’s an example: https://ssh.sshslowdns.com/wireguard-split-tunnel-config/
This will let you have some things on wiregusard and some not
You do not need anything else. DNS requests are all sent over Wireguard with encryption
Use ddns on your router with a domain so you can then get something like wireguard.example.com and then use that as the endpoint in your wireguard.
Set the wireguard DNS as your pihole.
To make life easier set your home network IP space to something that another WiFi would never use, ie 192.168.46.xx
That way it will never conflict if you are on a public WiFi and you can access anything on your home lab when you need.
I’ve been using this setup for years on laptop, phone etc
I haven’t tried them but some people have made templates for obsidian
I did an inplace upgrade of gitea to forgejo. No issues.
I’ve been self hosting this for 2 or 3 years now.
There has been zero maintenance other than the occasional update button
I use it for my docker compose files that portainer pulls from with the click of the button to update my containers when needed.
I edit the files in VS code with the git plugin and it works without issue
I currently use immich with 40k+ files.
I think what OP meant by ‘early development’ is the updates with break Changes.
Ive been using immich in docker self hosted for 1.5 years.
I use authentik for user management and single sign on.
The breaking changes have only ever been minor changes I’ve had to make to my docker compose file, its always come back with no issues after the well described changes in the release notes and several of the changes I didn’t even have to do because it did not apply to me.
This is petty standard stuff for anyone used to self hosting but if that sounds like its not for you then check out the roadmap. The stable version is expected next year sometime. Wait for that before giving it a try.
Personally I like the fast development, I find myself likely and using at least 1 new feature ever major update. I think this will easily become the best photo manager in 1 to 2 years and it will not longer be much of a competition
The purpose of most of these apps is to be able to use them on multiple devices. If I had immich entirely running on my phone (this is not actually feasible regardless) how do i access my images from my computer.
Also many people have multiple users. A family could have all their images on one immich server and be able to share images with each other easily.
On jellyfin for example, I can play any of my media on someone elses TV as long as they have Chromecast. Not possible if its all just kept locally in a folder on a computer
