Note that proxmox also supports containers (LXCs), they are just different from Docker containers.

LXCs are closer to VMs than Docker containers are, but they are still different. One big difference: Docker containers are stateless/immutable, while LXCs are not. I prefer the mutability ;)

Proxmox is often recommended because it makes administering things easy (never used k8s, but I heard it makes it rather hard because it’s built for scale) when you use LXCs (though you can still use docker, I have a VM for docker-only apps), incremental backups with deduplication thanks to PBS, still efficient backups otherwise, everything with a nice web interface, but with nice command line tools available.

As I said, “for single-user”

I still do the same I’ve been doing since before Bitwarden existed: Use KeePass[XC] and OOB sync (I use nextcloud) my database file (The android client actually uses WebDAV and a local cache). For single-user password-management, I find the simplicity vastly superior.

Same, I keep getting new errors every step of the way with the ansible setup. And that’s for an install on a pristine server, can’t imagine someone trying to use it on a server with other things installed. I’ll give this a try.

Hah, I was worried after reading your selfhost post, this thread is also relieving to me ;)

I don’t understand, I don’t know more than the prices they list which are pretty clear?

Just make sure you use the rsync flag made for stuff like R2, otherwise the API calls become expensive.

I run proxmox backup server on a pi4, and it uses rsync to sync everything to Backblaze R2, costs me pennies per month, Backblaze only charges me every few months :D

Edit: In a funny bit of synchronicity, 8 minutes after writing this comment I got a notification from my bank:

Why so much for images? I thought Lemmy hotlinked those?

Categories, aisles, same thing. As long as I can change the sorting of them for the store I go to. The sorting up there is for my main store, besides eggs, which have their own aisle and require manual changing.

Looked into that, it has probably the most convoluted manual recipe creation process imaginable :D It kinda makes sense considering what it is, but it also makes it completely useless for someone like me who doesn’t want a kitchen ERP

You can use a DNS challenge, that way letsencrypt doesn’t need access. It’s very convenient.

yeah ok. Most of the time, i just point mealie to a website to import the recipe. That said, you can copy and paste the ingredients and methods using the bulk import. It is a bit finicky, but not too bad.

Some few sites, and reddit comments, don’t have marked up recipes. My paid option can parse those, but for selfhost options, I need to paste. I have not seen another option that even allows bulk import, so mealie is cream of the crop there ;)

Auto-scaling is nice to have, but I only use it like twice a year, so I can live without it.

For Shopping lists, my workfow is to create a 3-4 day meal plan twice a week, then go through the recipes and add what I need to the list, paid option looks like this:

That is slightly less comfortable in mealie, but it works.

But the label/aisle sorting is pretty recent, and that’s where it falls apart:

The commercial solution is amazing at sorting items into categories (I did nothing but go trough 3 recipes and select the ingredients I wanted for the shopping list):

Okay, I guess I could live without that. But then I’d need it to be superfast to sort the list myself. That means drag-and-drop, not click edit, click category, click selection, click save. That takes up way too much time. And at the supermarket, I need things sorted by aisle (the shopping list also allows me to sort the aisles according to the supermarket order).

No option to download entire albums easily, and if the server is offline then I can’t even use the music downloaded to my phone.

Symfonium supports that, and more. It’s not FLOSS, and has to be bought, but imo it’s well worth it. Very polished, super feature rich.

The official install instructions

I installed it in an LXC container directly, I try to avoid docker whenever possible.

It’s better than the other self-hostable ones, being the only one where I can just copy and paste all ingredients and all steps at once. Other features I need are meal plans and shopping list, especially the shopping lists are in a very beta state.

Love the scripts, but remember: You are executing random scripts from the internet with root on your server. It’s a good idea to read the scripts first, at least sometimes.

You add the RSS feed to your reader (that can be a webapp like FreshRSS, but also a mobile or desktop app), from now on your app/server will periodically check the added url for updates, and if there’s news, add it to your list.

Here’s an image of how my devstuff folder looks:

It’s complicated ;) Beyond distributed and decentralized: what is a federated network?

My best tldr would be:

• Distributed: Peers connect to each other
• Federated: Peer to server, server to server, server to peer
• A federated network is a distributed network of centralized servers

Yes, it’s a reader. I’m a bit confused by your confusion ;) What part do you not understand?
