Zo dan, een middagje vrij: ik moet nog landen nadat ik email zag vanuit ons management dat we deze vrijdag lekker vanaf 1u dicht zijn. Onverwacht, want ik dacht dat ik de hele dag moest werken!

Dan alvast nu maar aan de knutsel met mijn nieuwe server :terminal:

Just spun up an instance of obsidian live sync. The setup was and is pretty terrible, but once it works, it works.

Also spun up an instance of Standard Notes. I was excited to try it, but not only are there barely any docs on self hosting the web app, but some features are _still_ locked behind a $40/yr paywall on a self-hosted instance. I get it, the devs gotta make money. But putting markdown behind a subscription is wild

@kuketzblog Der Grund, warum ich auf #selfhosted Lösungen setze ist tatsächlich nicht Misstrauen in einfachere Lösungen wie Signal, sondern der Wunsch nach Autonomie.

Gerade in handelspolitsch angespannter Lage könnte es aus meiner bescheidenen Sicht ein Fehler sein, zu glauben, dass der eine dem anderen nicht den Stecker vom Support zieht. Verschlüsselung in allen Ehren, aber FALLS die irre Orange sagen würde, "Geoblockt die EU", dann geht bei uns einfach nix mehr. Deshalb #selfhost

The awesome devs at wanderer, which is a self-hosted track database, just released an update which majorly improves the performance of the application. Now there is no more problem to render lots of long Tracks. You should check out this project at wanderer.to/ and if you can, support in development. (Some users are asking for a federation feature, which could promote this trail database to a full-blown Fediverse-compatible Komoot alternative!)

So if I want to host a number of different services (Tandoor, Discourse, Lemmy, GtS) and offer #SelfHosted #SSO, so that I can create a single account for each user and enable or disable specific sites/apps for them, what are my options for that?

No information that could screw with anyone's life will ever be on these sites so I'm not looking for, you know, NSA-busting cryptography or anything. Just a single go-to spot for user management.

Fai un tempo pedín por aquí consello sobre que hardware adoitades empregar a xente que tedes aplicacións #SelfHosted.

Acabei chegando a conclusión de que un mini-PC #N100 podía ser boa opción.

Xa o teño comigo dende fai un tempo. Metinlle un #Debian e agora xórdeme outra dúbida: para despregar aplicacións en Docker, empregades #Docker ou por #Podman ?

Polo que leín Podman é máis seguro ao non depender de root, pero tamén parece ser que pode dar problemas con algúns temas. :blobthinking:

Nextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Go)

lemmy.ml/post/28485942

lemmy.mlNextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Go) - LemmyAs Nextcloud [https://nextcloud.com/] advanced with progresses making it competitive in fully integrated government and corporate workflows, OpenCloud [https://opencloud.eu/en] is getting more and more attention. The fact, that both are collaborative cloud plattforms, designed to be selfhosted and mainly developed in/around Berlin from FOSS-Community-Surroundings, makes one ask about the differences. ### The main difference I see, is the software stack - Nextcloud, as a fork of ownCloud, kept the PHP code base and is still mainly developing in PHP - OpenCloud, also a fork of ownCloud, did a complete rewrite in Go [https://go.dev/] Until know, Nextcloud is far more feature complete (yes I know, people complain, they should fix more bugs instead of bringing new features) than OpenCloud, if we compair it with comercial cometitors like MS Teams. ### I like Nextcloud! I deploy it for various groups, teams, associations, when ever they need something where they want to have fileshare, calendar, contacts and tasks in one place. Almost every time, when I show them the functionality of Nextcloud Groups an the sharing-possibilities, people are thrilled about it, because they didn’t expect such a feature rich tool. Although I sometimes wish it would be more performant and easier to maintain, so non-tech-people could care for their hosting themselves. ### Why OpenCloud? Now, with OpenCloud, I am asking my self, why not just contribute to the existing colab-cloud project Nextcloud. Why do your own thing? ### Questions So here I expect the Go as a somewhat game-changer (?). As you may have noticed, that I am not a developer or programmer, so maybe there are obvious advantages of that. - Will OpenCloud, at some point, outreach Nextclouds feature completeness and performance, thanks to a more modern approach with Go? - Will Nextcloud with their huge php stack run into problems in the future, because they cant compete with more modern architectures? - If you would have to deploy a selfhosted cloud environment for a ~500 people organization lasting long term: Would you stick to the goo old working php stack or see possible advantages in the future of the OpenCloud approach? Thanks :)
