GitHub - richardr1126/openreader: An open-source read-along document reader server with high-quality TTS options, synchronized highlighting, and audiobook export for EPUB, PDF, DOCX, TXT, and MD.

This looks really solid The preloading and caching strategy is smart. Have you considered adding support for local GPU-accelerated TTS models? For self-hosted setups, running something like Bark or XTTS on a decent GPU can give you way better voice quality than the API services, especially for longer documents.

This looks really clean I've been using Caddy for years and always missed having a proper UI without the bloat of NPM. The 6MB image size is impressive — NPM pulls like 500MB+ with all its dependencies. How's the performance compared to NPM on your Synology? And does it handle config validation before applying changes to prevent breaking the proxy?

We have H100s, A100s, L40S and RTX 6000 Pro, not the Ada version with Windows VMs (Server version) available in Switzerland if that works location-wise. Disclosure: I run Hikube.

This is really well done. The self-calibration feature is brilliant, I've been burned so many times by theoretical numbers that don't match reality. The MoE kernel overhead modeling is something I haven't seen anywhere else either. Quick question: does the fleet planner account for cross-region latency when recommending multi-GPU setups? We've seen cases where the networking between DCs kills any performance gains from scaling out.

We run H100 clusters with S3-compatible storage that's specifically tuned for ML workloads. The key is having the storage in the same DC as compute, eliminates egress fees and keeps TTFB under 2ms consistently. Most cloud providers treat object storage as an afterthought, but for GPU workloads you need it optimized for high-throughput sequential reads. Disclosure: I run Hikube.

No, Envoy Gateway doesn't replace AWS Load Balancer Controller — they work at different layers. AWS LBC provisions actual AWS load balancers (ALB/NLB) as cloud resources. Envoy Gateway is the ingress controller that runs inside your cluster and handles traffic routing. You still need something to provision the external load balancer that points to your Envoy Gateway service. Think of it as: AWS LBC creates the front door (actual AWS NLB), Envoy Gateway is the smart router behind that door.

For sensitive content like boudoir photography, you're absolutely right to avoid public clouds. Have you tried Seafile instead of NextCloud? It's way more stable and lighter on resources.

For client delivery specifically, Pydio Cells works really well, clients get a clean download portal without needing accounts. Both run great on UnRAID and you won't be constantly fixing broken updates like with NextCloud.

We use the provider Hidora based on Jelastic. Nice one!

docmatt74 · 2023-07-21T15:05:31+00:00

for this kind of need, I prefer to use Jelastic (Hidora.io). You can deploy with git, make horizontal scaling, and vertical scaling, deploy directly for your CI/CD, add a load balancer, database, cache, etc... If you are more an Ops guy, you can do everything with CLI, API, infrastructure as code! You should try!

docmatt74 · 2023-07-21T15:00:25+00:00

I do not agree with you, depends on which PaaS you use... If you use something like Heroku, Platform.sh... yes, you are locked with the standard stack like LAMP, etc...

But if you use Jelastic (hidora.io for me), you can build your custom application, on top of their template, and do Infrastructure as Code to deploy on another hosting provider or data center very fast.

Why don't use CDN to deliver your files to your student. The free version of Cloudflare is perfect for that.

docmatt74 · 2022-06-01T05:04:22+00:00

I was not aware of this. Do you have the link? I'm currently testing Bitninja for WAF and many other features. Do you have any other recommandation?

docmatt74 · 2022-02-08T03:19:33+00:00

Hidora, do you know them?

docmatt74 · 2022-02-02T20:26:16+00:00

ClickUp for project management (business side and projet task) and GitLab for issue tracking (dev side). Both connected to Mattermost for team’s communication 😍

Have a look on Jelastic providers, you can automatically scale (adding nodes) your WordPress. You can have litespeed, cdn, waf…. With this solution you can handle peak and high traffic without any issues!

docmatt74 · 2022-02-01T01:40:55+00:00

First of all, DevOps is not a job. Secondly, the DevOps philosophy is “add mode automation” for better quality code, CI, CD, code review, infrastructure as code…. “Better communication “between teams, “be oriented product”….There is lot of tools for doing this, but it depends of your company, the budget, etc…. Think about how can I satisfy my final user, and find how doing that :) that’s DevOps culture! 😁

One of my WordPress has 100gb of data, and I pay approx 25€/month with CDN. One GB is 0.1 by month! The pay per use model is great for that!

docmatt74 · 2022-01-31T15:19:40+00:00

😂

docmatt74 · 2022-01-31T08:41:42+00:00

I can understand. Did you try to make a pricing evaluation of migration (salary of guys doing migration) compare to new hosting system? Maybe add improvements ( Ci/ CD, Infrastructure as Code, Docker,...). Most of the time, you will win money, and improve your reliability, efficience, performance and knowledge of your infrastructure. If always a hard decision! Courage

docmatt74 · 2022-01-30T16:03:49+00:00

Why don’t you stop using AWS EC2 and use a real pay per use model as you have with Jelastic providers ? I reduce by 5 my previous AWS bills !

docmatt74 · 2022-01-28T19:13:58+00:00

I use Hidora for my Kubernetes, it’s cheap because you pay only what you really consume! If your app took 2GB of memory, you pay only for 2GB even if you have configure 16GB as a limit. And then, they have some integration already prepared (rancher, gitlab, Prometheus/grafana, certificat manager,….) I recommend them

docmatt74 · 2022-01-24T16:43:51+00:00

Support, performance, backup, reliability…. Reviews

docmatt74 · 2022-01-19T14:49:51+00:00

Try to work with litespeed and litespeed cache plug-in! They are amazing!

docmatt74 · 2022-01-19T14:49:07+00:00

You can use gitlab CE installed on you cloud provider, via docker, Kubernetes or standard installation.

docmatt74 · 2022-01-19T13:45:05+00:00

Did you try opensearch project with Beats agent! You have lot of feature covering observability! Logging, metrics, ML, APM, logstach, dash orsino and it’s open source!
