    It’s a Pi, what are you expecting. You just wasted a ton of money on inferior hardware with extra software issues. You could’ve just got a mini pc with 2 nvme slots instead for half the price and add a 6 port sata board for 20$ to one of those. Much cheaper, way more reliable, upgradable and ZFS actually would’ve work as you expect.

    I’ve said this in the past, the app is good and works fine but it lacks a standalone desktop app…

    It’s a bit pointless to have it working [only] the way it does, it’s all JS already so why force people into Docker to install something that can already perfectly work as desktop app with Tauri, Electron or even something much simpler like a custom build C++ webview? Thanks.

    If it need documentation means things are over the line when comes to complexity and I should scale down / simplify. :)

    Complexity and over-engineering are a serious problem, I really try to keep it as simple as possible so I don’t have to waste time managing it, dealing with updates and potential security issues. Simple code/infrastructure breaks less and has less potential insecure points.












  • Hmm… some people are going to say that basic auth would be insecure, I’m not going to be there because in this particular case it’s about the same thing.

    However, this might be easier to configure and manage permissions than basic auth. Also this works cross-domain and basic auth will require full re-auth for every domain. Another obvious advantage is that at some point I plan to integrate 2FA.


  • You can backup the entire file then. I get your point, but it also seems like you’re referring to some container-based approach where you would place this inside a container and then mount the config file to some path. While some people might like that approach, that kind of goes against the original idea here, I didn’t want to run yet another instance of nginx for auth, nor another php-fpm - the ideia was simply to use this on a low power device , no containers, no overhead of duplicate webservers and PHP, just a single nginx running a couple of apps on the same php-fpm alongside this.
