This looks exciting. I hope the transition goes well.

I would say to get automated backups running on the first few before you do them all. Thats a luxury we get “for free” with cloud services.

Note on firefly iii. I use it because I’ve been using it, but after using it for 4ish years, I dont really recommend it. The way I use it anyway, I think inserting data could be easier (I do it manually on purpose) and the graphs/visualizations I also wish were better. My experience with search functionality is also sub par. I would look at other alternatives as well, but I think its still better than not tracking finances at all. But I wonder if using a database client to insert data and python scripts or grafana to analyze the data would be better for me…YMMV

Good luck!

I replaced my tabbyml code assistant this week with ollama+continue.dev. But I’m having issues with speed. I think this is because I switched from code qwen 2.5B (ish) to Deepeek Coder 9B (ish) and I think I’m pushing the limits of my GPU. Maybe I’ll spend today sorting out which models I want to use and which computers I want to use them on so I dont run into this issue (I’ve got ollama on 2 computers with 3 GPUs shared between them, for a total of 24GB VRAM)

Floccus just syncs, so whatever hasnt been synced would just wait in your bookmarks until the server was available.

I use borgbackup to create backups. I point backups to another home computer and borgbase.com. Borg itself is an amazing tool. I think you should learn how it works even if it doesnt end up being the best fit for you.

I’ve got a subset of my files encrypted and backed up using borg. It gets backed up to another computer in my home and then cloud storage via borgbase.com.

And how do you like yew? Long ago I used seed.rs, which was more like ELM than react. But I think that project has since gone unmaintained. I also tried yew when I think they were in the middle of a huge API transition. Do you think its easier to write in yew than it would be in react/vue/svelte?

Cursed tech stack and image. Project looks cool. Can you elaborate more on why you used rust for front end and python for backend? I would assume rust would have been more applicable for back end work. Then again, Im not familiar with fastAPI.

I used Zola for a while, but at the end of the day there wasnt enough themes available that fit what I was looking for. I ended up messing with the templating engine to get what I needed.

I suggest OP choose Hugo over Zola, in the hopes that they find a theme that suits them best and for the most part prevents them from having to touch templating to begin with.

Paperlessngx will store pdfs and index their contents for searching. It’s not necessarily meant for books but I think it would work.

Doesn’t need to. That’s a plus though. I think the features I like the most are dropdowns for foreign keys and more specific column types. For instance, a date type gives me a calendar picker, and an image type lets me upload and image and then see it as I browse the data.

I use Vutlr. They have a nice UI.

What software did you use to make this image? Its very well done

I’ve been using OpenMediaVault inside Proxmox.

I’ve been very happy with OMV, for the short time I’ve been playing with it. Its FOSS and the web interface makes it very clear all the layers of abstraction you can use to manage a NAS. I highly recommend it.

And proxmox is good too, also FOSS (proxmox VE). I also has another slick web interface to manage stuff. I like the web interfaces because, albiet intimidating, it exposes alot of options available to me, which give me opportunities to research and understand how it works.

But I’m still working on getting everything with it set up, so take my suggestion with a grain of salt!

I like it for all the apps. I got a cookbook app, forms app, rss feeder app, and more. It also lers me share a link to a file easily too. I also use syncthing, mostly since I sync more data than my VPS serving nextcloud can store.

Theres so many. Check out the awesome list: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

I think your stategy should be one service at a time. Do everything in docker, and start by tackling a simpler service. For example, you should try paperless-ngx. Absolute game changer. I didnt realize how much managing ny own directory structure sucked until I used this. Then, grow your service list more and more!

Tailscale is a mesh VPN. Its a level of abstraction passed a regular VPN, lime wireguard or OpenVPN. Tailscale uses wireguard under the hood.
