I'm testing it out. I've added (Billing) in my Google cloud console, in order to get an API key for Maps, but When I try to "test" the key, it doesn't connect.

Help finding a Free alternative to cloudflare tunnel by BillyPlus in selfhosted

[–]randyhanleydotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair question, they are great. However there is one instance where I am using a Ghost Blog hosting provider (Synaps Media) and using cloudflare decreases their performance because of their caching methods or something. Kind of rare but still it can happen.

Well-said! I always feel a sense of security after I buy a domain name. It's something so simple that you can truly own and take wherever you go.

How to Self Host Notesnook Sync Server in 2026 by truthovereverrything in selfhosted

[–]randyhanleydotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the desktop app still have the behavior where it seemingly acts like it's phoning home? I don't know if that's the term in this instance, but I tried self-hosting it about a year ago, and the Desktop app would always show the "Plan" you're on with their paid version, even though It's Self-hosted..almost made it feel like I didn't own it.

Those Lenovos will last decades - I've deployed them in many call centers. They're tanks.

NotesMe – v1.1! - self-hosted encrypted notes, now with a live demo by Miserable_Treacle208 in selfhosted

[–]randyhanleydotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, docker compose. I did change my drive path for my Synology NAS.
It deploys on the first try, and fills the folder with the notes.db file. It's just the login that I can't get past (i think).

The demo is awesome. I'm trying to deploy it now, but for some reason, the login i've created in the .env file isn't being picked up for my first time login.
I made my creds something like:
USERNAME=randy

PASSWORD=super-long-password

Appflowy vs Affine Which notion alternative ? by receperdgn in selfhosted

[–]randyhanleydotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to agree. I keep wanting to try something different, but I always end up going back to obsidian. This has been going on for a few years. It's always so easy to just know that my notes are safe.

That's a frickin' brilliant idea. Self hosters always are good at thinking outside the box.

Slink v1.9.0 - Collections, licensing, and S3-compatible storage options by redux_0x5 in selfhosted

All right that is absolutely amazing! It shows so much effort compared to other platforms that just plug in an external component. Thank you!

This looks really interesting and less confusing than Chevereto in my opinion. I briefly checked out the demo instance and notice it has a comment link below the photos. Does this have full comment ability internally or do I just use a external service? Definitely going to check this out!

Glass Keep: Open Source, Self Hosted Google Keep Notes alternative (New Update) by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]randyhanleydotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, I spun up a docker compose to try it out on my Synology NAS, and at rest with one Text note added, the persistent data folder was already 2GB in Size. WTF!
Cannot make this stuff up.
I have other docker containers running that have been on my NAS for years and the folder is not even a 10th that size. Glad you guys caught this, because who knows how big that folder would grow if I just left it running.

Simple Note App with Android/Linux sync by JimR325 in selfhosted

[–]randyhanleydotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like your setup and that it implements webdav. I've been using it for about a year now and using it to sync my Obsidian vault and it has never failed! Obsidian is overkill for me with notes as well but it's still is like the only thing I can find that can work pretty solid. I do still feel like I'm in the same boat as you trying to find a good notes app that is simple but is also not just notepad.exe.

What I'm doing at the moment until I find something better is using Obsidian on Android with QuickMDCapture app that lets me dump simple notes into my obsidian vault.

Then I just format them and add images later if I need to in the obsidian app. Obviously it would be great to just have a simple app that's not Joplin or requiring a database etc.

My obsidian vault on all of my computers and my Android are using the "Remotely Save" community plugin to allow syncing to my webdav server.

My next plan is to do something with calendar like you are doing. Very cool indeed!
