@Xanza Not sure what you mean. I wanted to use my services with my domain. I tried a reverse proxy by itself and it wouldn't work because my ISP blocks ports, so I set up Cloudflare instead. Then I found out my services would work better with Caddy, so I set that up. I also originally wasn't using Unbound, but then I realized my services were having trouble communicating, and I thought it would help to have more control over DNS rules, which it has.

@toastal My ISP blocks ports. Cloudflare was the only way I could get reverse proxying to work.

@tofuwabohu Yes, I'm running Docker directly on the Raspberry Pi. IDrive automatically backs up the folders you specify at a time you choose. I think it uses Cron or something.

๐ŸŒŸ Self-Hosting Journey Update! ๐ŸŒŸ

After weeks of work, I'm excited to share my self-hosted setup! ๐ŸŽ‰ I'm running everything on a Raspberry Pi 500 with Stormux (Arch Linux ARM-based), 8 GB RAM, and a 512 GB SD card (planning to upgrade to SSD or NAS as soon as I can afford it). Here's what Iโ€™ve built so far:

๐Ÿ”ง Services in Action:
- Development: Forgejo, Code-Server, Woodpecker CI
- Productivity: Joplin Server, Monica CRM, Homepage dashboard
- Monitoring: Prometheus + Alertmanager, Grafana, Netdata, Uptime Kuma
- Networking: AdGuardHome + Unbound, Tailscale VPN
- Tools: MiniFlux, Linkding, TheLounge
- Management: Portainer, Cockpit, Watchtower

๐Ÿ”’ Security & Access:
- Caddy + Cloudflare Zero Trust/Access for reverse proxy & SSO
- FirewallD + Fail2ban for extra protection

๐Ÿ“ง Emails Powered by Zoho ZeptoMail:
All email-capable services (e.g., Forgejo, Joplin) are configured for reliable notifications.

๐Ÿ’พ Backups: Using IDrive's 5 TB plan for peace of mind.

This journey has been challenging yet rewarding! ๐Ÿš€ I'd love to hear your thoughtsโ€”especially tips on scaling storage or optimizing performance. Let's chat! ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Help Needed: Homepage Configuration โ€“ Missing Widgets & API Errors

Hi everyone,

I'm running Homepage (v0.10.9) in Docker on Arch Linux ARM (Stormux) and encountering issues with missing widgets and API errors. Some widgets are showing as "Missing" on the dashboard, and I'm seeing repeated HTTP 401 errors for Portainer and Tailscale in the logs.

Setup Details:
- Homepage Version: v0.10.9
- Host OS: Arch Linux ARM (Stormux)
- Host IP: 192.168.1.137
- Docker Network: All containers are on homepage_net (gateway: 172.23.0.1)
- Docker Containers: Homepage, Portainer, Miniflux, Uptime Kuma, Glances, etc.

Issues:

  1. Several widgets showing as "Missing":
    - AdGuard (running on host, not in Docker)
    - Netdata
    - Uptime Kuma
    - Docker
    - Portainer
    - Miniflux
    - Tailscale
  2. Repeated HTTP 401 errors for Portainer and Tailscale in logs.

What I've Tried:

  1. Separated service definitions (services.yaml) and widget configurations (widgets.yaml).
  2. Updated widget URLs to use appropriate addresses (host IP for AdGuard, container names or Docker network IPs for containerized services).
  3. Regenerated API keys for Portainer and Tailscale.
  4. Verified all containers are on the same network (homepage_net).
  5. Enabled debug logging in Homepage.

Configuration Files:
I've uploaded my configuration files here: https://gist.github.com/Lanie-Carmelo/e01d973bc3b208e5082011e4b76532f6.
API keys and passwords have been redacted.

Any help troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if you need additional details.

I'm new to self-hosting and struggling to get my services accessible externally. I'm using Traefik as a reverse proxy on a Raspberry Pi 500 running Stormux (Arch Linux ARM-based). My public IP resolves correctly via Dynu DNS, and ports 80 and 8444 are forwarded in my router. I've configured Traefik to use port 8444 for HTTPS, but external connections time out. Iโ€™ve tried:
โ€ข Forwarding ports 80 and 8444 in my router
โ€ข Allowing ports in iptables and FirewallD
โ€ข Setting my router's firewall to low security
โ€ข Verifying Traefik is listening on port 8444 locally (works with curl)
โ€ข Using Authelia for authentication (middleware configured in Traefik)
Internal access works fine, but external access fails. Could this be an ISP block or something Iโ€™m missing? Any advice is appreciated! ๐Ÿ™

Hi #SelfHosted community. I've figured out a lot of my setup. I now have a new domain, laniesplace.us, just for #HomeServer stuff. It's set up through Porkbun with Dynu for #DDNS. I've now got #Traefik, #TailscaleVPN, #Linkding, #Forgejo, #Dokuwiki, Code-Server, #Portainer, #Netdata, #Watchtower, #Cockpit, #Pihole, #MiniFlux, #TheLounge, #Filebrowser, #UptimeKuma, and the #Homer dashboard service installed. I'm now trying to set up #Authelia so I can have single sign-on to my services. For some, it's working now, but I can't seem to get Linkding to work no matter what I do. This is on a #RaspberryPi 500 with 8 GB RAM and a 512 GB SD card, running #Stormux, which is based on #ArchlinuxARM. Can anyone help? I'll reply to this post with all my relevant config files in separate posts. What's happening is this: Linkding is supposed to be available at bookmarks.laniesplace.us. When I go there, I see a 401 unauthorized error and a link to sign into Authelia. Once I sign in, though, it redirects back to the page with the 401 error. I've been trying to figure this out for hours with no luck. Files will be in replies to this post.

Would anyone who knows #Traefik and #YAML or #TOML be willing to help me out? I'm trying to get Traefik set up with my new domain but running into trouble, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can send you my traefik.toml and dashboard.yml files.

Hi everyone! How are you all doing tonight? I just had a frustrating experience trying to set up a free #domain or #subdomain for my #SelfHosted services. Unfortunately, I can't use my laniecarmelo.tech domain because its current configuration doesn't allow me to add subdomains.
I discovered EU.org, which offers free domains, and decided to give it a try. However, they require you to have authoritative #DNS #nameservers before requesting a domain. I tried using #Cloudflare, but it wasn't authoritative. Then I looked into Hostry.com, Hurricane Electric DNS, and FreeDNS.
Hostry requires you to add DNS records for your domain before using their serviceโ€”but how can I do that when my domain doesnโ€™t exist yet? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ As for FreeDNS and Hurricane Electric, both have inaccessible #CAPTCHAs on their registration forms with no audio alternatives! ๐Ÿ˜ก
At this point, I'm so frustrated that I've decided to take a break from figuring this out. If anyone has tips for setting up a free domain or knows of accessible DNS services, Iโ€™d really appreciate your advice! ๐Ÿ™

@jdw @selfhost @selfhosted @linux @selfhosting Not sure what you mean. I have a Raspberry Pi with MiniFlux, LinkAce, and a bunch of other stuff on it. The only thing I'm not hosting is the WordPress site.

#SelfHosting community, how do you get notifications about your projects?

I'm setting up a couple of #BASH #Scripts to back things up and notify me about events on my #RaspberryPi, but I've hit some roadblocks. Here's my situation:

- I know #email is one option, but I'm not set up for it yet. My domain is on porkbun.com, but its nameservers point to vultr.com, where my #WordPress site is hosted. The Vultr server is managed by a friend, so I don't have access to add #DNSRecords for platforms like #Brevo. I've asked him to add the records but am waiting on that.

- I've been using a #Discord webhook, but I've run into issues with rate limiting when scripts send too many messages. Long messages also cause errors.

Now, I'm exploring other ways to send notifications. Does anyone have suggestions for reliable methods or tools that work well in self-hosted setups?

After exploring #R2E, I've decided it might not be the best fit for my needs. Here's why:

  1. R2E doesn't support #Inoreader's #OPML format, requiring manual feed addition.
  2. I realized I have many feeds and need a more comprehensive solution.

I'm now considering #Miniflux, which can manage #RSS feeds, #Podcasts, and #YouTube subscriptions in one place.

Until I get my #RaspberryPi for Christmas, I'm weighing two options:

  1. Self-host Miniflux on my #Windows PC using #Docker
  2. Use their $15/year hosted plan temporarily

Fellow #techies, especially those interested in #accessibility and #SelfHosting: What would you recommend? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

@fastfinge I was thinking about it, and I want to work on my computer, not my phone. I guess I either need to use a different Linux distro or try Virtualbox.

[-] RareBird15@caneandable.social 2 points 2 months ago

@fastfinge I'll look into it. Never heard of it before. I have an iPhone but it's an iPhone 13 Mini and not in the greatest shape, so probably not good for that kind of thing.

[-] RareBird15@caneandable.social 2 points 2 months ago

@doc @main @mastoblind Does it still havve issues with audio latency and audio being too quiet? It did the last time I tried it.

#Blind #techies, I just found out #vmware doesn't officially support #ArchLinux, and I think that could be part of the reason why things aren't working right. Is there another accessible virtual machine option for #Windows?
