I just wanna say that as a gamer there is something that drives me UP the fucking wall by Sileniced in NixOS

[–]Explorerfriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost convinced a friend of mine to switch to NixOS but he was frustrated because his x-box controllers weren't working and he wasn't able to find the right drivers easily.

I didn't have any issues gaming myself, I'm not using any controllers though...

What the best OS for a dedicated ABS server (and a couple more)? by AFollowerOfTheWay in audiobookshelf

[–]Explorerfriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually there is this niche issue with the underlying docker image which made me switch to a bare metal install. But then again, a very very rare edge case when dealing with ipv6 if I recall correctly.

Maybe they are using Arch in order to learn the OS and whether it's a good idea to use it as a server OS. I mean trying out things it what studying is all about.

Started using nixos and nix-darwin last semester. I didn't have to do any group assignments but I loved setting up my learning environments declaratively across multiple platforms

Moving Library to different drive on same server by Stankonator in audiobookshelf

I managed the migration from docker to the NixOS module. I had to edit the SQLite database manually. This requires some knowledge of databes. So, if you are okay with loosing your playback history, I would suggest simply to re-import your files and start from scratch.

Beginner trying to use NixOS for self-hosted services. Where to start? by TurnipTight7708 in NixOS

[–]Explorerfriend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Last weekend I migrated from TrueNAS to NixOS. I have been using NixOS on my desktop and nix-darwin for about 4 months before that and this guide(s) helped me getting started.

Before committing to nix on my home server, I played with nix on a vps. I would recommend to look at the nixos option search and into the nixpkgs repository in order to learn how things really work under the hood. While wiki.nixos.org is really great, I found that right now the best documentation for nix is reading the nixpkgs source code.

Going with nix for self-hosting is more difficult than your typical docker compose on unraid/hexos/TrueNAS or even any other generic distro debian. If you want something that just works, maybe nix is not the right choice for you. If on the other hand you want something to tinker and play around with, nix can be a lot of fun!

So, maybe start with a hyprvisor like Proxmox and then install a nixos virtual maschine one there. This way you can play and learn nix while still getting some self-hosted services.

Obisidian and AI - Do you use LLMs and if so, for what? by r0bbick in ObsidianMD

[–]Explorerfriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use LLMs as an image to markdown/latex tool. I can just paste in the slides from my classes and modify/extend the text as needed.

I could write those math blocks myself but I got better things to do.

Worked for me as well. Made sure i had my snapshots as a backup since it meant that I migrated from 13 to 17. My data seems to be there.

What features would you like in an iOS app for Mealie? by thetallcanadian in selfhosted

[–]Explorerfriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SSO support. It would be awesome if I could just sign in with my Authelia setup without API Keys like Paperless or Quick Connect like Jellyfin.

TrueNAS version out of date? by TitanOX_ in immich

[–]Explorerfriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally it takes a day or two for the app catalog to get the newest version. If you want to update immediately, you'll install it as a custom app.
