With extra bonus: write an installer script that symlinks the files to the correct place. Use Ansible, plain old Bash, or Python depending on your preference.
I'm waffling between that or just setting up a bare git repo. Am prepping a VM or two to explore the pros/cons of each approach and to dive into the implications.
It's funny - this project idea seems to free bubbling up everywhere this past week. I'm sure I'm seeing the consequences of search algorithms, but on Lemmy, it's nice to see what is a definite and pleasant coincidence.
That is the next item on my to-do list. I've already installed my own gitea container to run at home. Yes, I could use a public repo (set private) but I wanted I learn how to do this and besides, I wanted to cast a wider net for which files to store but not worry about inadvertently publishing something with passwords embedded...
I didn't really see the benefit of this besides having a snapshot or backup of my home folder for my use case (I don't have that many config/text files that needs tracking), but I can recommend chezmoi for those interested.
If you're not using your pihole as a recursive DNS server that is a natural next step that ties neatly into where you've already gone. Wireguard can also easily run next to it if you want a lightweight VPN for when you're away from your network.
Thanks for sharing these feature. I run pihole but knew nothing about this. As my move my implementation to new hardware I'll definitely be adding this.
Paperless-ngx. It's a document management system for home users or small companies. Pretty cool if this is something you need. If you spend a lot of time filing away documents, you definitely need this.
Just keep in mind it will take a bit of effort to add and categorize your stuff. đ I've had Paperless installed for two months now but can't get around to actually moving my stuff into it.
You are so right! That is the painful part that no one talks about! Took me a few days to get paperless-ngx working, because I had wrong firewall and port settings preventing docker containers communicating with each other. Once solved that I was proud and relieved - started scanning and categorizing - but in hindsight that was nothing compared to the amount of work to move stuff to it. I finally accepted that I will just have to keep doing that when I feel like it⊠which for the past months has been âneverâ. I now only put new docs in, but the older stuff is still sitting in nas folders.
Retrieval. Indexing everything thoroughly is a bit of a faff but once you put in the work, finding that one invoice from two years ago becomes very easy. If that's not a factor for you, git will work too.
Thanks. Finally after Mint didn't recognise my network adaptor I tried Manjaro (everything worked great, but I don't think I'm ready for Arch) so ended up on Pop_OS .... everything works so I'm going to stick with this for now.
Do what I do. "Oh shoot, Jellyfin stopped, now I have to remember how to tell Arch to clear out its cached packages" (it's pacman -sc if you're me and you're reading this in the future)
This is me... In general with Linux. So I have a whole section of my Obsidian vault dedicated to troubleshooting and setup steps for my server projects. It's saved me hours of research already. Stupid brain...
I made a home inventory management software, because I don't have much space in my flat, so I track every single piece of the compressed pile of boxes; with qr codes on them.
It's a very simple app but you should have a printer to print qr codes for the boxes.
The documentation lacks some detail, so ask anything about it, if you want to try it.
I'm learning about i3 and xfce on arch (my daily driver). I'm not linux expert, but I've been really enjoying figuring things out after switching from ubuntu to arch. This weekend I'm getting the icons for network manager applet and clipman working on the whisker panel, and then removing the i3bar.
Well, at least that's rhe goal. I don't have much free time, so tbis will mkst likely be a month project, not a weekend. :P
I have an old mini PC that I'm going to use with proxmox to share some of the load from my nas. Today I setup tailscale and for it working with unbound DNS so I can use my domain when connected.
Using Ubuntu as a daily driver, due to a class requiring some kind of Linux software (options were WSL, which gave me a weird error, VM, or full install).
Never have I tried to actually use desktop Linux as my primary work computer for more than a couple days.
Currently working on a replacement for BirdCAGE. It was a pretty cool project, that was unfortunately based on some pretty hacky code (not the dev's fault, he based it on BirdNet-Pi) and subsequently has been abandoned.
MVP is up and running, just polishing and adding features. Still no GUI just yet, right now it's just presisting the data locally (recordings with detections, spectrograms, and a database of detections) and submitting the results to Birdweather which you can use as a basic UI until I get around to it.
Host your own Gitea server and then version control your own RPI configs on the RPI. I mean... save them elsewhere also, but it's yet another thing you could do with that awesome little device.
This weekend is getting Foundry VTT up with a reverse proxy and certs for voice/video chat. Spinning up a new VM in proxmox and getting HAproxy configured for it (itâs used for the rest of my services).
