Podman

• rootless by default
• daemonless
• integration with systemd, made even easier by podman-generate-systemd
• no third-party APT repository required, follows the same lifecycle as my LTS (Debian) distro
• podman and docker command-line are 100% compatible for my use cases

podman-compose is packaged in a separate podman-compose package in Debian 12 (did not try it though). The only thing missing (for me) in Debian 12 is quadlets support (requires podman 4.x, Debian 12 has 3.x)

I use tt-rss and the android app

shaarli bookmarks + hecat (shaarli_api importer + download_media/archive_webpages processors + html_table exporter for the HTML index)

https://www.sphinx-doc.org/ + https://pradyunsg.me/furo/ theme + https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/ markdown parser + https://sphinx-design.readthedocs.io/ extensions.

Just drop all your markdown files in a directory and run sphinx-build. Highly customizable but also works out of the box

You just have to find the channel_id buried in the page source

I use this Firefox addon for that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-rss-finder/ - really useful

I wrote this ansible role to setup dovecot IMAP server. Once a year I move all mail from the previous year from various mailboxes to my dovecot server (using thunderbird).

Interesting post, but what does this have to do with selfhosting? This is not /c/llm

I do this with https://www.sphinx-doc.org/ + a basic Makefile and config file to make it a bit nicer. I will publish my template a bit later and report back.

I wrote this ansible role to setup dovecot IMAP server. Once a year I move all mail from the previous year from various mailboxes to my dovecot server (using thunderbird).

I use the Netdata agent (with cloud features disabled). Easy installation, FOSS, 0 configuration required, tons of metrics.

I wrote my own ansible role to deploy/maintain a matrix server and a few goodies (element/synapse-admin). If you’re not using ansible you should still be able to understand the deployment logic by starting at tasks/main.yml and following includes/tasks from there.

host maps

It does require a beefy server (rendering tiles is CPU/RAM-intensive, storing pre-rendered tiles is expensive on storage) It should be doable on limited hardware if only a small area.

I think the better move would be keeping/distributing a local copy of the OsmAnd android APK and a few maps for the app. Because you’ll not be able to provide map access to people from your server if the Internet/local fiber/phone network is down - this way everyone can have their own full copy of the map.

I’m not sure about the method to extract map data from the app storage directory though.

Just download a copy of a recent wikipedia dump. You can open it in the Kiwix desktop application (work fine even on an old laptop), the android app (though I’ve never tried opening a full 100GB dump with a phone, not sure if it would work well), or install the kiwix-tool package and serve the .zim file with kiwix-serve (https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-serve). You’d also probably want a reverse proxy/usual basic web server/security setup around that.

Second this, always have a device preloaded with Kiwix and one of the wikipedia dumps. A new vesrion is uploaded every few (~6 months). The full English wikipedia dump with images (low-res versions only though) is only 103GB.

libvirt/virt-manager is a nice VM management tool.

Their cheap 1-6€/month VPS offers are actually fine. Not much to say about it, it just works.
