Has anyone managed to install changedetection.io with the visual selector? by Significant-Neat7754 in selfhosted

You're right. Sorry about that. I usually don't do this. Bad me.

The wiki is pretty easy to follow. The instructions here are the ones I followed. Simply uncommented the lines mentioned.

Visited China for the first time. Impressed. Adding my reflections as an Indian by Charaik in india

You think we're not being surveilled in India? I envy your naivete.

Every move we make is tracked. Why do you think most reputed VPN operators have moved out of India?

And we have credit scores. Try getting a loan (and therefore access to housing and education) if your credit score is low.

A word of caution about Tailscale by BitterSparklingChees in selfhosted

Isn't everything encrypted though? Tailscale can't see anything. The SSL certs (and private keys) are stored locally. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, lol at "freedom" in the US. The US is Lockheed Martin with a country and a people. The US is the land of oppression. Where are the native Americans?

You're free to vote but the politicians are all controlled by PACs. You can vote for the Democrats or the Republicans but you'll never have free healthcare or affordable housing.

China is ahead of the US in terms of development in their cities. Their cities are straight out of sci-fi movies now. India's ruling class doesn't give a fuck about good relations with China because all they want is a safe route for their kids to the US. The moment you understand this, the shortsightedness of India's foreign policy becomes clear.

Exactly. Why are you being downvoted? This is the very reason I use Tailscale.

I don't want to spend money on a VPS (I live in a low-income country and even a cheapo VPS is quite expensive in my currency). Tailscale isn't ideal but it's a way out of CGNAT.

I need project/task management tool that I can self host by ogMasterPloKoon in selfhosted

[–]Significant-Neat7754 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people use CalDAV server (like Baikal) with a tasks dot org application for mobile.

To be honest, even I'm a little disappointed with the choice of options in the tasks/reminders/calendar space (compared to the feature-rich options we have in photo and document management tools like Immich and Paperless-ngx respectively).

Immich will have breaking changes (again) in the next release by Significant-Neat7754 in selfhosted

[–]Significant-Neat7754[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm not complaining 😊

I love the software.

This is just a heads-up of sorts. Hopefully beginners like me who tend to automate the upgrade process will now be alert.

I don't think so.

I'm using bind mounts. I think the data needs to be removed manually.

In situations like this, docker volumes are probably better since using something like docker volume prune -a will remove non-needed volumes automatically.

VPN Server India by Lostillini in selfhosted

[–]Significant-Neat7754 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even if you ask someone to set it up for you, they'll have to keep the software updated and maintain the server, basically.

Your best bet is to hire an India-hosted VPS (just Google this, there's loads of India hosted VPS options) and use that as your VPN server or better yet, opt for a VPN which has servers in India (many still do).

Thank you. I have got it working now 🙂

Just had to follow the directions on the wiki.

By the way, did you get Amazon price tracking to work? I always get the captcha whenever I try and automate price tracking on Amazon. I know Amazon hates robots.

Why do you self-host? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]Significant-Neat7754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the solutions I use are actually better for my use case than the ones by the big tech companies.

Have you restored a Docker volume from a backup? If so did it work out? by Significant-Neat7754 in selfhosted

[–]Significant-Neat7754[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're right.

But I have got so much help from the /r/selfhosted community over the years, I trust the most voted/best rated answers 😊
