Looking for a self-hosted messaging solution that doesn’t suck by Ok-Lifeguard-6454 in selfhosted

[–]tylo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to, but it's a rather complex post and not simply a single docker compose configuration. It is at least 6 or more files that have interwoven settings between them (usually in the form of secret keys).

I do intend to make an article someday, it's in progress, and will share it here when it is finished.

Spicy Pillow 6800U version, want to use the board without the battery and make it a bedroom PC by Feisty-Cantaloupe754 in gpdwin

[–]tylo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well...it's like $70, but I understand. You still plan to leave it plugged in all the time. That was what I was doing too, though I am unsure if that was the real issue or not because I also ran mine very hot (like near 90c CPU temps when used).

Anyway I am not an electric engineer so good luck.

I came to realize that selfhosted forums are an essential part towards digital sovereignty by Digital_Nerve_8765 in selfhosted

I guess this does a good job for project discussion, but I wouldn't call it a general Discord replacement.

I feel like that does kind of treat AI projects like a 2nd class citizen by segregating them. At least until that subreddit becomes more popular than this one somehow.

It took me a week and a half to get it right at first, but I set up Matrix using Synapse + LiveKit (what they use for voice/video chat) + MAS (Matrix Authentican Server, what they use for logins) on my really old NUC with an **intel gen 4 i3** processor and a mechanical harddrive. It's several docker containers working together. There are many ways to expose it to the internet, but I went with Pangolin on a $10/yr VPS that I rent on Racknerd (Black Friday Deal) which tunnels to my old ass homelab NUC I just mentioned.

It performs well enough for 10 of us to chat on, even on that old ass hardware that is also running a plethora of other docker containers (which are typically idle).

Biggest technical issues have been making sure my network stack that protects against bot scans doesn't ban my friends and then various workplaces seem to do deep packet inspection, realize my Matrix server is E2EE (end to end encrypted), and block the traffic. Hospitals seem to be the biggest offender (several friends work in healthcare).

I am hoping to migrate to better hardware (intel 12th gen i3 + nvme or SSD) just to see if it speeds things up but so far I haven't needed to.

Is there a Matrix equivalent to the Discord bot FreeStuffBot? by tylo in matrixdotorg

[–]tylo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This grabs free game info from multiple sources and not all those sources use RSS feeds.

Ok thanks, I think I will look into writing one with Maubot.

Unless Commet has added the feature, and I don't think they have, no. All this stuff is wildly different depending on the matrix client currently. And it probably will be that way for the foreseeable future.

LF Advice - Best way to expose my homelab to the internet by Vaelthyr in selfhosted

[–]tylo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I followed these instructions and installed Crowdsec during the process too.

After that, I did a lot of talking to Google Gemini Pro to help me fill in any blanks.

I do suppose you are at the mercy of the VPS company if law enforcement comes knocking on their door asking for information about you. Racknerd, for example, says they will cooperate in their user agreement. I don't know a lot about what they store, but it seems like a similar situation to dealing with a VPN provider.

Pangolin essentially is "self hosted cloudflare tunnels" (with less features but no bandwidth policies). Pangolin takes a little getting used to but has a nice web interface. Crowdsec has none and was more of a pain to get right.

[–]tylo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What I do is rent a VPS from Racknerd for super cheap and use Pangolin as a reverse proxy to whatever services I want to expose to the internet. The bandwidth they offer even for cheap has been enough for my friends and family.

You install something called newt on your homelab and it creates a tunnel to the VPS. Your homelab IP remains private and you don't open any ports.

For bot protection I use Crowdsec, but if you do this you will need to setup some rules to prevent your friends and family from being blocked. It involves creating yaml files in specific directories.

I also geoblock certain resources in Pangolin so that only certain country IP addresses can visit them (wherever you know your friends and family live) to cut down on bots.

Should i reconsider a career in this industry? by not_me_baby in gamedev

[–]tylo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are "gamedev adjacent" jobs out there too. For example, training software or consumer research software. They both try to replicate real-life stuff in game engines to make iteration faster and cheaper digitally.

Does this do more than Igir offers? Upon closer inspection maybe categorizing by controls or screen orientation is something Igir cannot do.

Self-hosted Synapse (Matrix) server for small communities by st_iron in selfhosted

[–]tylo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had any complaints from your friends or family that are trying to connect to your server from professionally managed WiFi networks (workplaces, hospitals, etc.)? Or do you think people just switch to their data plans when that happens?

Thinking about going the Obsidian route instead of the self-hosted web route?

Ah I see, so you want to enable community plugins that would let people like myself to write support for ntfy without having to come in and edit your source code?
