All these. I just added calibre web and may phase out Kavita.
What interface is that, it looks great!
That's TrueNas. It can run docker compose files so I'm abusing the crap out of what it's supposed to do haha.
Looks like TrueNAS.
Are books not media?
I was thinking through my list, and almost mentioned Calibre Web, but decided it's media related.
Eh, it's a document viewer. I figured they're referring to Plex and jellyfin when they say media.
I love that the load on all of these is 0% :D
Yeah, just me and my family for now. I have gotten a lot of knowledge setting stuff up and hope to eventually get some VPSs set up for some public Lemmy, pixelfed, and maybe mastodon instances for digital nomads and expats.
- Gitlab (version control)
- Bookstack (wiki)
- Joplin (not a webapp, but sync server)
- Semaphore (does all of my infra updating via Ansible)
- Uptime-Kuma (monitoring/alerting)
Been thinking about adding NextCloud mostly for the Google Docs/MS Office replacement at some point.
But honestly most of my stuff is just for me, my family prefers to to use whatever commercial thing is out there. So I tend to limit things to infrastructure type things that are of personal interest to me alone.
Gitlab
This guy has a lot of memory in his server
It is allotted 16GB out of the 62GB total that the host has. Which is the amount their docs call for in a 20 RPS or 1000 user scenario. Since I am the only one doing any commits or pulls, it does fine.
Does take its sweet time to reboot though. 😆
