Opensource advocate with love for selfhosting and going broke building my homelab.
@hungover_pilot Way more than I would like but the way I see it, it’s cheaper than drinking and I learn in the process so I take it as a cost of entertainment :)
@AlecSadler @seafootball Or seasoccer depending on what side if the pond you are from 🤣
I use both Seafile and Nextcloud. I use nextcloud for exactly your use case. File sharing, contact Sync and Calendar Sync. I backup my nextcloud files to seafile. It works perfectly for my use case.
@XTornado What are you Synching with? In my case, I self host my Joplin server and on my local network, it took around a minute to Sync a few thousand notes on my Android phone.
@JustEnoughDucks I started with this setup. Proxmox on my laptop with an external 1 TB USB 3 drive added to proxmox as storage. It would work great for getting started and learning. I/O via USB 3 could be an issue so make sure you don’t use this setup for intensive Read/Write operations. But use it as a lab setup and it would work great.
PS: Once I moved to bigger servers, I still use my laptop proxmox for testing services before I roll them out to my production servers.
@knaak I have an excel sheet with all the IP addresses in my homelab.
@steal_your_face @Kushan Because FOSS.
@rockhandle That’s how I started. Proxmox on a 9 year old laptop with LXC and VMs. Even now that laptop runs proxmox with pfsense and pihole VMs and is serving as my home router :)
@QuadRadical @OpenSource @foss I use an Android phone made by a Chinese company via Kickstarter called Unihertz Tank. The phone has a 22k mAh battery that works perfectly for my lifestyle. I doubt I can find a degoogled OS for this phone :(
I have disabled all google services & use Fdroid for apps. I would love to use an OS that is privacy oriented like LineageOS or GrapheneOS. I would love to try Linux on the phone provided it is stable as most of my work is dependent on me being available.
@Oozy I wish it did :(
@ISOmorph I have not heard of plasma mobile. Can you suggest any links for videos or some write-up on plasma mobile that I can use to get myself familiar with it. Also, I would like to support this effort anyway I can. Thanks
@hello_world I would be using it in a VM or bare metal if I could. I have heard good things about Nextcloud in docker but we are power users on Nextcloud in my house so not sure if docker instance of nextcloud could handle the load.
@hello_world Sorry, my reply was meant for @encode8062 . Not sure how you got tagged.
If the question was for me, I am stuck with using it in snap as my family and I have too much invested in Nextcloud to try to attempt a migration to a non snap instance.
@dannym Thank you :)
I will see if I can create an account and export the data from it. What would be the best way to share the data with you?
@mingu @OpenSource @selfhosted Sorry for stupid question but once the data is exported from Facebook, is there an easy way to import it into Friendica?
@encode8062 @hello_world Please try to avoid using nextcloud in snap. I started with nextcloud in snap and came a long way before I realized the performance and upgrade issues when using snap version of nextcloud. For me it was too late but now I try to ask people to avoid it at all costs.
@dontblink @falkerie71 I loved nextcloud photos until my photo collection grew and it took forever for nextcloud to load them. I believe it was trying to parse through the complete picture folder. Maybe there was something wrong with my selfhosted instance but it became unusable for me after a while.
@fedonr Vaultwarden also has 2FA option. You can use that if it fits in their workflow.
