What’re you wanting to use it for, what are your main concerns?

I’d recommend searxng, but mostly because I don’t have experience with very many others. I’ve never had any issues with it either.

Check out a public instance if the engines you’re interested in and see which you like more?

Sounds pretty cool, thanks for the details! Any chance of some pictures? My worry would be the same, I don’t know if I trust myself not to flood the house lol

I did think about using a mechanical float like in the back of a toilet, and an overflow drain in case it never stops filling

Snipe it and grocy are the ones I see pretty often. I haven’t tried homebox to compare yet though

Kanboard is pretty great even if it does feel dated. I tried a lot of the newer alternatives and they all had either weird bugs or quirks I didn’t appreciate.

Why mtls support specifically? You could use any web based notes app (with PWA) and have the web server / reverse proxy handle the mtls part.

Eh while it sucks, registrars and web hosts get so many abuse reports that sometimes they just err on the side of caution and don’t investigate as thoroughly as you’d like.

Of course it also depends a lot on various things like what type of complaint, how much money you spend with them, account history, complaint source, etc.

They should be able to tell you what they had a problem with and give you a chance to fix it.

Self cleaning? Is it something you made or what’s the name is it? I’d be interested in details either way

I really want a fancier water fountain for my cats but never found a self cleaning one :(

Uptime Kuma is great for simple up/down and web checks. Librenms is worth looking at too for other metrics.

That’s essentially what I am doing. Everything is on the LAN by default. I have two instances of Traefik. One that runs only on internal VPN ips, and another on remote servers using public ips. So I can choose which services are accessible over lan/vpn or public (routed through a vpn to lan).

That doesn’t solve the authentication problem if I want to expose something to the internet though, or even sso inside the lan.

I already replied to a different thread, but figured I’d comment on some of the other options too. My vote is for Silverbullet, but I’ve tried way too many note taking tools.

• Joplin: I ran into multiple syncing issues that caused data loss and large numbers of conflicted files. I’m pretty sure these were all fixed a long time ago, but it was annoying. The dev was always good about fixing issues when they came up. It takes forever to sync on my devices and only syncs while the app is open with the screen on. The format it exports markdown files in isn’t standard, so I had to write my own scripts to export from joplin to markdown and preserve metadata.
• Standard Notes: I was willing to pay for this, but it’s extremely slow. Their support said it’s because it loads everything into memory, which I’d expect to be terrible on mobile with large databases. It’s also pretty limited in what you can do on the free self-hosted version.
• Obsidian: I really like obsidian’s ui/ux, and my only complaint is that it’s not OSS. I’d even be happy if they offered a self-hosted sync solution. There are some third party solutions for syncing, but they aren’t as smooth as the paid sync.
• Trillium: I love Trillium. I would vote for it, but it recently entered into maintenance mode. The community is working to start a new fork and I’m sure it will be great, but it’s too new to know where things will go yet. Trilium lets you encrypt specific notes and also has a cool plugin system where the plugin scripts are just notes in the database. It does have a mobile interface, but it’s a bit limited compared to the desktop interface and also doesn’t have an option to sync notes to use offline.
• Silverbullet: My current choice. I use it between windows, macos, and an android phone. I leave all three clients on sync mode all the time. The interface is minimalistic, but offers everything I need for notes and documentation so far. One of the rare “markdown” tools that actually save your content to markdown files and not to a database with the ability to export to markdown. It also has a cool feature built in where it indexes all of your notes/tasks/paragraphs and lets you build queries around them sort of like the dataview plugin for obsidian.
• Emacs: I haven’t seen emacs mentioned yet, but emacs+org-mode is still great. The mobile apps just don’t live up to the desktop experience, and you’d still have to figure out how to sync your notes yourself. Logseq’s outliner format is a similar feel afaict

Another +1 for silverbullet from me too. I was skeptical about only having a PWA for mobile access, but it actually works really well.

It’s open source, so somewhat more customizable than obsidian since you can see the inner workings of it. There aren’t too many active community plugins yet, but there is a relatively new concept of ‘Space Scripts’ where you can write simple functions/commands directly in a note (markdown file) to extend silverbullet without even needing to write a real plugin. That’s been an amazing addition for me.

Ollama and localai can both be run on a server with no gpu. You’d need to point a different web ui to them if you want though

Storage is hard to do right :(

If you can get away with it, use a separate NAS that exposes NFS to your other machines. Iscsi with a csi might be an option too.

For databases, it’s usually better to not put their data on shared storage and instead use the databases built in replication (and take backups!).

But if you want to go down the rabbit hole, check out ceph, glusterfs, moosefs, seaweedfs, juicefs, and garagehq.

Most shared file systems aren’t fully posix compliant so things like file locking may not work. This affects databases and sqlite a lot. Glusterfs and moosefs seen to behave the best imo with sqlite db files. Seaweedfs should as well, but I’m still working on testing it.

+1 for Nomad. Ive used k8s a lot and still use it, but i prefer Nomad for home purposes. You dont even need a consul cluster to run it anymore so it’s pretty simple to start.

Were you downloading master or the latest release? If you’re interested in using it, post the issue you have on their GitHub. The main dev is super helpful

I’m not 100% sure, but wasn’t ssdnodes one of the companies that offers really cheap deals without actually giving you the specs they say?

E.g. they say 64gb ram, but you actually get a VM with memory ballooning enabled and then your account gets suspended if you consistently use that much ram

For backups, consider using rsync.net. for a server, have you looked at dedicated servers before? OVH has some cheap servers every once in a while that should be better in theory than most VPS.

I’ve tried lot of different apps, but I think I’ve settled on Trilium for now.

It doesn’t have a great mobile experience, but the web app works fine on mobile. The app in general is super customizable and way easier to write scripts / plugins for.

I’m alright with the games that give you daily rewards but they don’t have to be consecutive days. It still benefits people who log in everyday, but you at least aren’t entirely missing out

I liked the cyclops because of how big it was. I liked the sea truck too though.

I think my ideal combination would be a big cyclops like vehicle you could use as a mobile base, and then something between a sea truck and sea moth for excursions into more dangerous areas.
