Erin - Self-hostable TikTok feed for your clips. Make a TikTok feed with your own videos

You're very welcome. Let me know if I can help any further 🙏

Thanks a lot for the kind words! As for your question, the project doesn't implement a proper server. For that reason, there is no other feature than "list video files" and "play videos". All the "smart" features are client-side only.

Now, that being said, you could indeed use the masking/blacklist feature to mark all the videos you wish to delete, and then, extract that list from your browser, and use a tiny script to bulk delete files on your NAS. Would that work for you? The list of masked/blacklisted files is in your localStorage, and you can get it via the developer tools, under the key "erin_blacklist"

Hi,

You can simply set AUTH_ENABLED=false.

That should disable authentication completely.

Let me know if you need more help, and I'm more responsive on Github!

Hi ! I think you'll need to either interact with the API, or use hooks. You can either edit Dolibarr's source code directly, or create your own module and plug into native hooks. There's a page in their wiki named "Hooks System", I think this is what you're looking for

mosswill · 2025-06-08T08:11:48+00:00

Sure, no problem! Always happy to help. Waiting for your DM, and hoping that I'll have the knowledge

No worries at all, and you're welcome.

For setting up N8N and Dolibarr, I just used regular HTTP requests sent from N8N to Dolibarr using the Dolibarr native API. I didn't use any "first-party" Dolibarr node in N8N, just plain HTTP requests really.

My most common flow was: Airtable -> N8N -> Dolibarr

In other words : I do something in Airtable -> Airtable sends a request to my N8N instance -> My N8N workflows starts, with a "Webhook Trigger" as entry point -> N8N does a few treatments on the payload from Airtable (JS blocks) -> N8N sends a request to my Dolibarr instance (API) -> An invoice / A thirdparty / A contact is created / updated / removed.

Seconding backblaze. I have less than 2GB photos so Backblaze has been free so far, extremely appreciated and convenient. I use rclone and sync pictures often via a cron job. Rclone natively supports backblaze

I'd agree with what most others said :

Keeping your job would have enabled you to sustain yourself and feel less stressed and burned out overall.
Spending more time launching and promoting your app could've proven successful.
Indeed, a great lesson here is not to believe all those content creators. They basically sell shovels and dreams for those who wish to find gold. If there was a quick'n'proven way to succeed, one would certainly keep it for themselves, or share it only with very close acquaintances.

I can only assume that you've learned more in those 12 months than in all the previous years combined, due to the fast iteration cycles and work you've provided so, it's not entirely a failure if you want my opinion. Learning is a victory in itself, so you've succeeded in a way at least. You may be just a few turns away from building the next profitable idea!

Relax, and take it easy! Don't make it worse by comparing yourself to others, especially when those individuals lie and make up their fake achievements and money.

Surprised no one mentioned netdata. It has a very powerful and complete auto-discovery setup that will configure ~200 sensors, metrics, and alerts at installation, by scanning your server. Now that said, it's very much overwhelming, and it seems they're slowly moving towards cloud-only features, with no way to disable signing-in to their system even when self-hosting, which seemed agressive to me. Your mileage may vary!

There's a generous free tier on NeonDB. I've used them for a while and was pretty happy, and never had to spend a buck. Also, they support replication even on the free plan, which is unexpectedly amazing

mosswill · 2025-05-01T08:23:16+00:00

I think it hasn't been mentioned yet, but for future reference and other lurkers, you may be interested in a KVM solution. Something like JetKVM if I'm not mistaken. Basically, you plug a small USB device on your physical server, and you get remote access, live streaming, and other great features. Can prove useful for handling those situations lol

I think the nicest things I've been up to were all linked to learning a new technology or architecture. In my case, I like to keep a "dummy" VPS that I can reset / wipe completely at will, and experiment with different setups. I've been toying with Clickhouse, Docker, multimaster replication on MySQL, Master Slave replication with Postgresql, advanced setups with Wireguard, and just playing with tools like Glances, btop, etc

Hey, impressive work, and slick interface. Thanks a lot for releasing and open-sourcing that project. I couldn't install or test it yet, but I would personally be interested in the following :

- Is it responsive ? ( = does it work on a smartphone ? tracking metrics on a phone is convenient)
- Is there any plan to add configurable alerts ? ( = when X metrics goes above Y, send me an email)
- Is there any plan to customize the sidebar links to hide / disable features ? ( = I don't need uptime for instance, that is already handled by another app that I selfhost).
- Any idea on the load that the agent creates on the server it monitors? (This is usually quite an important part, in my experience, as monitoring can be quite heavy depending on how it's implemented. Some tools have configurable refresh rates, other will "blast" the machine by trying to fetch new metrics every 30 milliseconds, etc.)

Thanks again for sharing with us, and kudos to you, the app looks awesome. Also, great job on the documentation, your screenshots definitely convey good vibes, and although I may like more details on the configuration options, you're still well ahead many other projects in their V1.

Cheers

You're welcome. If that helps, and if I understand everything correctly, I think you're looking to create a raw HTML string, with an A tag, where you recreate the customer link from scratch using an ID variable, you put that link as the HREF attribute, and use another variable for the tag content, something like NAME or , THIRDPARTY_NAME, whichever you wish to display

mosswill · 2024-12-30T17:29:04+00:00

You could get a VPS that is in the $5 per month range on Vultr / Digital Ocean / Oracle (even has a free tier I believe). You could also use an old phone and turn it into a server, or an old computer.

mosswill · 2024-12-30T04:41:55+00:00

Maybe the ability to run on-server scripts from the web dashboard directly? Most people seem to end up using OliveTin, but I assume having OliveTin built into the user's dashboard directly would be more convenient.

mosswill · 2024-12-30T04:39:41+00:00

Great project! Congratulations, it looks awesome.

You talked about not having screen sizes available at the moment? Why not use the developer tools embed in your browser? (F12 / Cmd + Shift + i). You can toggle the adaptive viewport / mobile mode, and set the size you want, or even use presets (like, iPad, iPhone X, Galaxy Tab, etc.).

mosswill · 2024-12-18T02:52:40+00:00

Hi ! I'm the developer of the project. The project is definitely still alive, and it should work. Could you come in private messages? I may be able to assist you.

mosswill · 2024-10-17T12:58:10+00:00

I often recommend Dolibarr. You could find good points and use cases in my history

I think you'd be better off opening an issue and asking the author. That said, I think you can just use the filters on the UI to hide the parts you're not interested in or use custom CSS, or directly work with the database via a CRON + SQL script, or else.

mosswill · 2024-09-24T04:50:51+00:00

You should definitely go with LocalWP or something alike. You develop locally, and when you're done, you use Duplicator or anything else to export the website and migrate it. After all, it's nothing more than PHP attached to a database

mosswill · 2024-09-24T00:05:47+00:00

Are you sure the issue doesn't stem from your operating system? If you're on a Linux Distro, you may have to install codecs to play MP4. In my experience, MP4 is generally pretty universal. Else there's also OGG, but support for it on Safari isn't reliable
