What exactly is this data format or type?
I have been using Element Note for a while and they have a proprietary export format of .element. I wanted to make a viewer for it so I can self host notes and backup on a web server but I can’t figure out what exactly the data type stored in the json is. What I have figured out so far:
On export, the .element file is basically just a zipped folder. Inside the folder will be a manifest.json file which lists presets within the app such as page background and size etc. The other files will be page1.json etc and they contain the actual handwritten strokes, here is an example:
any course of cloudflare and all its tools?
I have my proxmox server with many self-hosted services and I use cloudflare to get all those services to the Internet and it works perfectly, but cloudflare has many tools and I think I use it very limited and I could get a better use of it but I don't know more than to connect them to the dns and nothing else
That's why I'd like a course or a video that explains all of cloudflare's tools to see which one I could use and delve into studying the tools that interest me the most deeply...
Does anyone know something like that? By the way, I hope. Soon I will start using zerotrust tunnels to stop paying for the vps server that I have contracted to pass the CGNAT that I have on my network.

SMTP for Mastodon
Hello there! I am looking to host a Mastodon instance and need some advice regarding SMTP. So, Mastodon requires an SMTP server to send emails from to function, but I don’t have the money to pay for anything expensive. Is there a reliable alternative to paying somebody to host one for me? I can pay but only very limited amounts (like, below £5/month, so I can afford a VPS). Also, for any self hosted suggestions that are made, which hosting provider should I use for a VPS for it? Preferably I’d be able to share a VPS with the Mastodon instance to reduce costs, so advice on low-cost VPSs would be appreciated (Europe region, UK if possible, is preferred). I can’t afford to run my home server 24/7 so that isn’t an option. The other option is my PI4 but I doubt that’s strong enough.
Thanks in advance!

Issue with LANCache DNS in different server than monolithic
Hello,
I am facing a issue with setting up my Lancache DNS at a different server than my monolithic instance. Let me describe my setup below:
**Current:** I have my UNRAID server running both Lancache Monolithic and DNS without any problems.
**Changes**: I would like to move my DNS to another server that has a better uptime while keeping the monolithic service in UNRAID.
The reason is that my UNRAID has the storage space for the cached files and the other server holds all my internet DNS routing. Whenever I have to take my UNRAID down for maintenance or some other reason I end up loosing DNS routing.
The other server is an always online Zima board, used as my router with OPNSense and Adguard Home. My DNS traffic currently goes:
* OPNSense (Zima) -> Adguard (Zima) -> LANCache DNS (**UNRAID**) -> Cloudflare DNS.
This change would make it:
* OPNSense (Zima) -> Adguard (Zima) -> LANCache DNS (**Zima**) -> Cloudflare DNS
I believe my problem lies in the docker compose file that I am using for LANCache DNS. Although the container runs and says it is up, when I put the IP address in Adguard, I loose my DNS routing.
* 10.10.10.43 is the Static IP I am assigning in this compose file for the LANCache DNS.
* 10.10.10.45 is my monolithic instance in UNRAID
​
version: "3.3"
services:
lancache-dns:
container_name: lancache-dns
ports:
- 10.10.10.43:53:53/udp
- 10.10.10.43:53:53/tcp
environment:
- DNS-Port=53
- USE_GENERIC_CACHE=true
- LANCACHE_IP=10.10.10.45
- UPSTREAM_DNS=1.1.1.1
- DISABLE_WARFRAME=true
- DISABLE_RIOT=true
- DISABLE_RENEGADEX=true
- DISABLE_DAYBREAK=true
- DISABLE_CITYOFHEROES=true
image: lancachenet/lancache-dns:latest
hostname: lancache-dns

Would anyone be able to shed some light in this for me? I can include more information if needed.

5x7 (and negative) picture scanning ideas
First, thank you to those (and I don't even remember the posts let alone the redditors now) who recommended and posted about Immich and Paperless-ngx. I've been quite pleased with the transformation of my ability to manage these data since implementing these tools!
My wife and I recently happened upon a box of pictures... and I mean a LOT of pictures. I'd like to scan them in either from the 5x7 prints or the negatives and store them digitally. I picture this needing:
Initial scan
Cropping and/or splitting (if more than one picture was scanned at once)
Skew adjustment?
Add EXIF data
assign a date
add GPS info, if known
File the original picture in a "scanned" album
Upload to Immich for long term storage
I could see some of the above steps as a monumental task and time consumer. Has anyone else tackled this type of project before? What did you use on how did it go?
I'd rather not outsource this work and pay through the nose for it, I welcome any discussion around it.

Hi, what is the point of buying a domain to access devices in LAN via Wireguard?
I have read many posts in this subreddit and so many recommend using a domain (buying it) and then registering DNS.
Maybe I misunderstood because I'm new, but in theory isn't it enough to use a DNS in lan like pihole, and then from the client browser using Wireguard simply write the domain defined on pihole? (Maybe even configuring nginx to have all the ports pointing to the correct services)
Am I wrong?

Do you know Medusa.js? What's your experience with it?
Hey everyone,
I recently came across an self-hosted e-commerce solution called Medusa.js. I searched a bit for people's opinions about it on the Internet and the results are.... unexpected?
tl;dr: The package had a very fast growth in popularity and yet no one talks about it, why?
Let's summary:
First of all, Medusa in about 4 years, has reached a 20k stars on Github, beating almost 3x the competition such as Sylius or PrestaShop. Heck, it even beat the old-man WordPress by 2k stars.
​
https://preview.redd.it/x5b1w9eulo2c1.jpg?width=1094&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=afb0041fb88c57f33f7398c1e99fe76765b76fb4
Wort to note, that Medusa won as e-commerce product of the year 2022 on ProductHunt, that might explain that boom near 2022, but it still looks way different than typical growth and it keeps going up for some reason since then.
Looking at such GitHub popularity, I expected to find a lot of discussion about it, but it is quite different. It's hard to find posts on this topic that don't look like they were written by a non-technical copywriter for SEO. Most discussions look like marketing fake posts to promote it. There's not much tutorials about it. Basically this name doesn't appear in posts like "what do you recommend for an online store".
Am I missing something? Why is it so quiet about it? From where did so many people hear about it?
Have any of you used this solution in a real project? What is your experience?

Good way to store a lot of photos - hobby photography
Hey Guys,
My mum is doing semi professional photography and I am at my wits end.
It’s a human and technological problem.
I did a quick object count she has like 70k photos roughly 4tb. This happens because she takes every picture in raw and JPEG and a lot of series captures.
The begin of the story is that she had at first a ssd, then a second, then a third and so on.
I already bought a synology nas. And threw everything at it. But everything is messy and unsorted and she is not happy because she doesn’t get her chaos together and adobe Lightroom performs bad with network drives, and I don’t get why … but this seems to be a known problem…
Anyways she uses Lightroom for her editing which is nice, but she is using more like a library and not to perform the actual changes, that’s the reason that the catalogue which is a db of the changes is a 17 gb.
She is not happy at the current state. Do you have suggestions, for a strategy to clear this chaos ? Or a cool tool for getting a folder structure?
Maybe any tips and tricks for synology and network stuff ?
I Already tried to move files and get a structure but Lightroom hates this and loses track of the file. So a powershell script which sorts the items into year folders was a good idea but I am scared of bricking the db
The nas and the mac are all wired up on 1 gbit and I am sure it should be ok because the big raws are only like 70mb per file

Tailscale: the marvellous tool that became indispensable to my tech life
I can't praise Tailscale and its developers enough... I discovered this do-it-yourself VPN solution about half a year ago and boy has it improved my life... Here is what I managed to accomplish with it.
I am running Tailscale on my old macbook air, henceforth referred to as my "server", my two firesticks, and my phones.
*remotely=outside of LAN, so over internet*
\-I can access my SMB shares remotely from my phones with OwlFiles and from my M1 Macbook air seamlessly through Finder. All I had to do was enter a simple command on my server in Terminal to add TCP/445 to "Services". Tailscale then forwards incoming TCP connections on port 445 from within my tailnet to port 445 on my mac’s server. The result is that I am able to mount my 2TB share from anywhere I have internet and manage my files as though I was on my home network. I also have access to my entire media library from VLC installed on all my devices (once again, through SMB). If only I could somehow add my remote SMB shares to Kodi... But Kodi doesn't seem to allow me to type in custom IP addresses when trying to add SMB shares. Let me know in the comments if you know how to add remote SMB shares to Kodi (the ones it does not detect automatically).
\-Similarly, by adding a suitable HTTPS port to my server's Tailscale services, I am able to manage the Transmission torrent client installed on my server remotely through Transmission's web interface (while connected to Tailscale, of course).
\-I can back up to Time Machine remotely and accessing my Time Machine backups remotely as well. There are a few caveats though. On my server, I had to add a shared folder (from Settings), allow access to it via SMB and mark it as a Time Machine backup destination. The process is pretty straightforward. The trick is to add it as a backup destination THROUGH TAILSCALE by typing in the Tailscale IP of your server or the Magic-DNS domain name. Also, you will not be able to access pre-existing time machine backups through Tailscale! Only the destinations that you initially add through Tailscale. This is why I have two backup destinations on my server - one that I back up to from my LAN and one that I use over Tailscale remotely. Works like a charm!!!
\-I can control my server through VNC remotely and seamlessly as if I was connected to LAN. To do that, I had to add TCP/5900 to my server's Tailscale services (which is akin to opening up TCP port 5900 to incoming connections from within the tailnet). This is particularly useful when I don't have my M1 mac with me, but need to run Python code inside Spyder. I just turn on my bluetooth/trackpad combo, connect it to my S10+, jack myself into my tailnet, MultiVNC my way into my server and BAM.
\-MagicDNS deserves its own praiseful review. Not only did it assign a permanent, simple domain name to all my Tailscale-enabled devices, but it allowed me to configure my own DNS server for Tailscale-connected devices. I was then able to choose custom DNS servers for specific domains, which let me block FireTV updates without compromising my security (The DNS server used for that looks a little sketchy so I don’t want all of my traffic to go through it) and also use AdGuard DNS without breaking Doordash’s Dasher app by routing doordash-specific DNS requests to Google’s DNS and not AdGuard’s. Solid win here, as Adguard's DNS bricks the Dasher app. Let me know in the comments if you want to see my Magic-DNS configuration.
\-FUNNEL: By running a funnel (proxy) on my home server, I am able to access my dad's Bell Fibe TV channels through their web interface from anywhere on Earth - Bell treats my traffic as if it's coming from my home network! It will NOT work if you use the mobile app, but works flawlessly from within Samsung Internet, Safari (on mac) and Grazing 3 (on iOS). Also, it’s quite neat to browse with my Canadian IP even when I am travelling (no more annoying "cookie consent" notices when in the EU). I suspect Netflix users could use this sort of setup to get

Dokemon is open source now!
Hey folks, I am developing a Docker Management GUI Tool (https://dokemon.dev) and I had posted in this subreddit a few days ago. This was my post: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/18gh5oy/do\_you\_selfhost\_git\_repos\_too/. I had mentioned that initially I got bashed for building a GUI tool and I got very kind responses on the post which encouraged me to keep doing what I love to do!
Quite a few mentioned that they cannot use my tool as it is not open-source. I am happy to announce that I have open-sourced it under MIT License and here is the repo:
https://github.com/productiveops/dokemon
Why it was not open-source earlier?
I used to be a .NET developer before I moved into DevOps. The project started as an excuse for me to learn the latest development technologies. Dokemon is written in Golang and React. One reason I had not open-sourced it earlier was I am new to both these languages/frameworks and I was nervous of people judging my code. :) It is not that bad but still it made me nervous.
I had planned to complete all the basic functionality, then refactor the code, then setup coding standards, etc. and then open-source it. I have not reached this stage yet, but as many cannot use it for not being open-source, I gathered courage and decided to open-source it right away! I will slowly keep on building it and refactoring the code as I go along.
After my previous post I added a few new features: support for Variables and Environments and Dark Mode! :)
Here is repo once again:

I've read some things about needed to pay for it for $15 a month and I'm definitely not doing that.
Has anyone had success getting their server back up and running properly? I want AdguardHome back because I DESPISE ads. I haven't been able to get it back up and running.

Chat with hundreds (or even thousands) of documents at once
Hey everyone,
We just released a new feature in SecureAI Tools (v0.0.2) that allows you to chat with hundreds (or even thousands) of documents. Here is a quick demo video with a couple documents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwvfVx8VCoY
Now you can create a collection of documents once, and then create as many chats with the collection as needed. The documents in a collection get processed in the background allowing you to add hundreds or thousands of documents to a collection. It also saves time because you don't have to re-process all documents again every time you want to chat with a collection of documents.
Please try it out, and let us know if you have any feedback for us :)
(This was one of the most requested features from the community, so sharing for everyone's visibility)
​
Edit: The tool uses AI models (LLM with RAG). It allows you to use almost all LLMs running locally or through OpenAI-compatible APIs.

Backup software for Docker volumes and bind mounts?
I have a docker host w/Portainer that runs most of my homelab services and I'm looking to update my backup methods.
For a long time I've been using https://github.com/offen/docker-volume-backup for creating sidecar containers that backup the data from the bind mounts or volumes of my main containers to my NAS. It works well but it doesn't scale well. I need to remember to go in and modify the Dockerfile for the stack and add the offen config and a bunch of the environment variables I have abstracted to the stack config and that has to be manually added each time. It's getting annoying at this point since I have 30+ containers running with maybe 1/4 to 1/3rd being offen containers and the whole process is getting tiresome.
I'd like to move to something that has a central interface where I can configure the backups for each of the containers individually (just tell it which bind mount on the host to backup). I've spent a ton of time over the last couple days trying to find an app that meets my criteria and keep coming up short. Looking for suggestions.
Criteria
Runs in Docker
Has GUI (1)
Backs up regular files. No forced deduplication, encryption, etc
Standalone client (doesn't require backup server software)
Can backup to SMB share
`(1)` I'm 100% comfortable on the CLI but I'm tired of having to use it for so much stuff and I really don't feel like going in and running a bunch of CLI config each time I want to backup a new docker container and I'd like to have a UI where I can easily see and monitor the status of my backups.
❌ Duplicati:
Still in beta after many years and many threads about how unstable it is
Over 800+ open issues in github seem high
May only provide deduplicated storage, not sure.
❌ Restic:
[Compatability issues with SMB](https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2659#issuecomment-1546701199)
Primarily CLI with only some 3rd party UIs and unclear if any of them run in Docker.
❌ Borg:
Requires borg server side software for backups?
❌ Kopia:
Fits most of my criteria but has forced encryption which cannot be disabled
❌ Duplicacy:
Forced deduplication
❌ ElkarBackup: Works in basic tests but unclear if it's literally just rsyncing to the backuplocation or if there is some kind of snapshotting or incremental option. A bit on the heavy side with 3 containers including a mysql db. [Project is abondened](https://github.com/elkarbackup/elkarbackup/issues/659#issuecomment-1673442885) as well.
❌ Rclone:
Got it mostly working with this but event most recent posts I could find from 2022 say it doesn't have all features and is still experimental.
Rclone doesn't seem to be well suited for backups anyway and is more for just copies?
❌ LuckyBackup:
Tried via Unraid app (docker based) but super dated UI that uses VNC web view into the GUI? Strange. Unclear if this can be run in vanilla docker https://github.com/ich777/docker-luckybackup#
❌ UrBackup:
Client / Server model. Unsure about rest of features.
❌ Syncthing: Strongly recommended to not use it as a backup tool. Too much risk of misconfugiring it and accidently syncing unwanted changes in the wrong direction, etc.
❓ Veeam:
Keeps getting brought up in threads but unclear to me if / how it could fit my use-case. No GUI / web interface?

One Server to Rule Them All: Seeking advice on consolidating my setup
Hi everyone,
I'd like to seek some advice on a proposed change of my home server setup that I'm considering.
**Current setup**:
* Raspberry Pi 4 (Raspbian): with openHAB, Node-RED, Mosquitto, Grafana, InfluxDB, UniFi controller
* Raspberry Pi 2 (Raspbian): with piHole, unbound, WireGuard
* DS212 (DSM) as a NAS
**Issues**:
1. High power consumption due to running three systems.
2. Limited backups (currently only backing up configuration files).
3. Occasional SD card corruptions (fortunately, backups have saved the day).
4. The DS212 Web UI seems to get slower with each DSM update.
**Proposed Solution**: I've been considering consolidating everything onto one machine using a modern Proxmox+Docker setup instead of running everything bare metal. Here's my idea after some research:
* Get an ASRock N100-based mainboard with 32GB RAM, a 500GB NVME drive, and 2 SATA ports (for the two 2TB SATA drives from my Synology).
* Use the NVME for Proxmox and create two VMs:
1. VM for all the smart home/networking applications (migrated from the RPi4+RPi2), isolated into Docker containers.
2. VM for NAS functionality (any suggestions for a NAS OS?), using the two SATA drives in a RAID 1 configuration.
**Questions**: I would greatly appreciate your advice on the following:
* Does my proposed hardware configuration seem suitable for my needs? Anything better than the N100? Do I need 32GB?
* What NAS OS would you recommend for the second VM (TrueNAS, OMV, anything else)?
* Are there potential drawbacks or challenges I should be aware of with this new setup? I have the feeling I am over complicating things.
* Any other thoughts or suggestions?

A warning about Namecheap when using dynamic DNS, Let's Encrypt and DNS challenge
TL;DR: You can't automate Let's Encrypt wildcard cert renewal with a dynamic IP when using Namecheap because you have to manually whitelist your IP to access the API.
\---
I spent the better part of the weekend tinkering with getting a Let's Encrypt wildcard cert for my self-hosted stuff. I just wanted to be able to use a nice <myname>.eu domain and not have browsers or devices yell at me for having a cert issued by my internal CA.
I use AdGuard Home as my DNS server and Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM from here on) as a reverse proxy. Everything is running in Docker containers on an RPi 4.
My IP is dynamic and I've been using no-ip to keep track of it, but they don't have an API which Certbot could use to create a TXT record when doing a DNS challenge.
So I went to Cloudflare since everyone and their dog seems to use them. Unfortunately, they don't offer .eu domains so I skipped this option.
I spotted Namecheap in both my router's dynamic DNS list and Nginx Proxy Manager's DNS challenge list. I've purchased a domain from them before and had no problems, so I read up a little bit on the whole thing and everything seemed cool. They have a dynamic DNS service you can activate for your domain, so you can use a ddns client to update your IP with them. I bought my domain, set up the dynamic DNS part, created a CNAME record, then went to set up Certbot through NPM. Here's where the first kicker came. You need API access to be able to have Certbot create a TXT record and verify your domain through a DNS challenge. To get API access, you need to satisfy at least one of these requirements:
* have at least 20 domains under your account;
* have at least $50 on your account balance;
* have at least $50 spent within the last 2 years.
Okay, I thought, $50 kinda stings (yay, Eastern European wages) but I can top up my account with it and forget about renewing my domain for like 10 years, so it's not that bad. I did the top-up, activated my API access and here came the second kicker: you have to manually whitelist the IP address you're accessing the API from. So in the end you still have to keep an eye on your IP and potentially whitelist another IP every \~60 days, because NPM won't be able to access the API otherwise.
Now I probably have to live with this setup for at least a year (if I want to keep my domain) or cut my losses, try to get my $50 back and move everything elsewhere, maybe Cloudlfare and a .com domain...
I realize I could've done more research before committing myself financially (the warning about the $50 part is in Certbot's Namecheap plugin's documentation), but even after reading all the docs I haven't seen the IP whitelist part mentioned anywhere, so I thought I'd warn others.

Appreciation post: ChatGPT and co. - the best thing that happened to SelfHosting?
Hi all,
I must say: ChatGPT (or generative AI in general) is such a game changer for me doing SelfHosting.
Today, I wrote following scripts with GenAI:
1. A bash script, that logins in all my LXC container on Proxmox, stops all currently running docker container, exports all persistent docker data to my Proxmox-Host, starts the Container again, and makes a backup via Borg. Afterwards, I get a success notification via Gotify.
2. A python script, that uses the Portainer API to export the stack configuration of all my 10 docker environments into easy to backup .yml files ( e.g. backup-host_name-container_name.yml )
3. A bash scripts, that checks if the defined containers are running on my docker hosts, and if not, sends a notification to Healthcheck.io
4. Different Templates for Obsidian, e.g. Daily / Weekly / Monthly notes with Task-Management etc.
It's really fun, as I now can find solutions to more complex problems, with just limited program knowledge. Not perfect yet, e.g. it used the Portainer API wrong, and I had to direct it to the right direction via "error messages" and "API documentations".Sometimes, it also say's "it's not possible", but when you gave some hints (e.g. could you use pct exec instead of ssh) it gives you the right solution .
What are your experiences? Are you using GenAI for your SelfHosting and if yes - where?
My next step will be Ansible, as I had to much respect for it yet, but with some GenAI support I might get everything running ...

\-SUBNETS: I am running a subnet on my home server so that I could adb into my firesticks and manage them remotely with scrcpy (update apps, install tweaks, etc). Yes, I am not a huge fan of the command line \^\^' . I can also access my wifi cameras remotely from my mac. The desktop app for the cheap chinese ones only allows you to manage them over LAN, but Tailscale takes care of that. Works like a charm!
I am beyond pleased with everything Tailscale enables me to do. It baffles me that this technology is somehow free to use. I am extremely grateful to be a part of the Tailscale community. Thank you!!

Aren't you scared about loosing your data?
For now my server doesn't have very important data most of it are your "Linux isos" I can just download again and I'm thinking of starting to move my file and photos to the server but in afraid.
What if I get a ransomwarei don't realize and all my backups get encrypted too? Or if the backups are corrupted and my disks breaks? But also I'm afraid about cloud because I've seen some posts about people getting their google accounts closed without notice for breaking TOS (maybe they did something wrong maybe not).

What can I do with a Lantronix Ethernet Terminal/Device Server?
I've gotten my hands on a EDS8PS and I'm a noob so I'm not sure if this thing will be useful in creating a self-hosted network or if it will be an overcomplication.
