I use the same naming convention as you for stacks, but since I’m running a docker swarm I have to mount the NFS in the exact same way on all my nodes, which are just 3 R-Pi 4s. It’s a little janky in that if the NFS goes offline all my services go along with it. Traefik works really well with a swarm, especially when you have it set to auto pick up any services and proxy them.

Yeah, I would at least try a different distro before tossing the GPU

Which distro? Switch to Wayland, I’ve only experienced screen tearing with Xorg. Edit, it’s probably your hardware.

I use Niri on triple screens with different sizes and refresh rates, it’s all seamless. Plus per-monitor scroll up/down left/right. I have an Nvidia GPU, they seem to have worked out all the problems with Wayland support.

Niri. I know it’s not a DE, but it’s currently my fav.

Cliphist sounds like it might work for you. Depending on what’s running under Gnome you might need a few dependencies.

I’ve had nzbgeek for years.

Congrats on the setup. Is that proxmox I see in the background?

+1 for FreshRSS, I’ve only been using it for about six months but I’m constantly tweaking my config just because I like to play around with it.

I’ve been thinking about pulling the trigger on a Wacom tablet lately. I remember seeing a video of someone using one and it recognized the handwriting and did OCR in place. I also vaguely remember they drew a rough shape like a square or something and it fixed it. Does anyone know if there is an open source app that has something like that?

I’ve been really happy with Fresh-RSS. Someone else on here put me onto about 6 months ago and it’s changed how I consume news.

I find the most time consuming part was/is curating my feed but with tools like RSS-Bridge I can really get fine grain control on what makes it through.

On your LLM summarizer question, yes they have several plug-ins. I’ve recently started piping the whole feed into Gemini and telling it to pick the top 5 and summarize. But I do that in bash and emacs :

I like your boat analogy. It does take more work to keep it running in top condition, and when it’s firing on all cylinders it will run circles around windows. Also, people that don’t have one and talk shit are just jelly.

I build smart playlists for Navidrome with Symfonium on Android or Feishen on desktop, then export to server to get them into Navidrome. I also have been playing around with local AI generating smart playlists with mixed success. The file structure is very simple.

Navidrome just announced plug-ins last release. I think an AI playlist maker would be pretty fun.

I’ve never heard of h2c but it seems useful. I use docker swarm with a few nodes. But for internal communication all the containers can communicate with each other using docker’s built-in DNS.

I run Traefik in front of Caddy for a few different applications including Nextcloud.

I also use Traefik, and once you have it set up it’s really great. Getting it set up is a different story. My advice would be to follow the install guide as closely as you can and don’t start adding to it until it’s stable.

You don’t need to own a domain to use a reverse proxy by the way, you just need to configure your router to recognize whatever domain you choose and route it to the container.

Lately, I’ve been playing around with Tailscale and you don’t even need a domain or open ports to connect to your containers from outside your local network.

Well I would recommend Akami/Linode because I’ve had some form of an instance for close to a decade and any downtime has been my own fault. I did just start playing with one of their premium compute linodes for some experiments. I have had Nextcloud in a shared resources node and it wasn’t bad, but it was slow. Currently I just run AIO on my home server mapped to the NAS for storage. If I set it up again I think I would do the same on Linode but it is pricey.

Did you know openwrt makes their own router now. It’s called the openwrt one. They’re not had for the price, mines been pretty solid. And they have a bunch upgrade options.

Hey, cool idea! I’ve also got a bunch of dockers and services running on a swarm on multiple devices. Like any good project, it’s on it’s like 3rd or 4th iteration now, having run into some roadblock each time. I structure most of my services into stacks. For example, I have a stack for proxy, www, monitoring, and of course the 'ol arr stack. Anyways, I keep all my notes on the stack compose yaml files that seems to work for me. I only interact with docker on the cli because portainer wants me to pay to use docker swarm. But because I’m so adept at docker on the cli, I have recently stumbled across gemini-cli. Dude, having that to help trouble shoot docker stuff is amazing. It’s really good, but I’d keep it on a short leash.

Not sure how long ago you tried it. But my first attempt at an install back in 2021 was so much more complicated than when I did it again in 2024. It’s been rock solid ever since. I use the docker all-in-one method, it’s pretty straightforward. When I went back to college, I decided to use it to organize all my classwork, and it’s perfect for that. I still prefer LibreOffice to author papers though.
