Put a computer on a differenct location? (Service)
So I want to pay one time for hardware and then small payments for electricity and bandwith.
That is why I love to make things locally.
And its cheaper in the long term usage.
But I hate to hear noise 24/7.
I want to hear absolute nothing.
So is there a service where I can pay one time for hardware and put the hardware to one location (not my home) and pay the "small" service cost?
I hope you understand my english.

A Simple but Effective Tool to Convert EPUB to Audiobook Using Azure TTS
👉 https://github.com/p0n1/epub\_to\_audiobook
I am excited to share a little tool I've been working on, EPUB to Audiobook Converter. This simple but effective tool allows you to convert EPUB ebooks into audiobooks using the Microsoft Azure Text-to-Speech API. The resulting audiobook is optimized for use with Audiobookshelf.
The idea came from wanting to make it easier for myself to "read" more books by listening to them. The convenience of listening to books while doing chores, commuting, or just relaxing has allowed me to consume more than ten books since I started using this tool. I'm hoping it can be helpful to others as well.
One of the key challenges I aimed to address was the extraction of chapter titles from EPUB files, which can be quite tricky due to variations in format and structure. This tool uses a basic yet effective method to extract chapter titles by searching for the `title` tag in the HTML content of each chapter. Although it may not be perfect for every single EPUB file, it works well for the majority of them.
Installation is straightforward. You'll need Python 3.6+ and a Microsoft Azure account with access to Microsoft Cognitive Services Speech Services. Clone the repository, set up a virtual environment, install the dependencies, and set up your Azure TTS API credentials. You can then use the tool to convert your EPUB books into audiobooks, with each chapter as a separate MP3 file, making navigation a breeze.
You can find all the details, instructions, and examples in the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/p0n1/epub\_to\_audiobook
I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions for improvement. Thanks for taking the time to read this post and check out the project!
Cheers.

Self-hosted habit tracking?
Hey all, I've looking for a decent self hosted habit tracking app, but it doesn't look like a lot is out there. Something where I could create habits like "workout", "read for 30 minutes", "drink water" and set a goal to accomplish those daily/weekly/monthly/etc and see analytics on that, accessing all that on web and maybe mobile app.
Any recommendations or anything that you guys use for that? I've seen Habitica but that is apparently difficult to host and I'm not really into the gamification aspect, and Grocy chores but Grocy has a lot of features I was just looking for something just focused on tracking habits and goals.
Since there doesn't seem to be very many options I've thinking about working on something myself. So I was curious what features you guys would like to see in a self hosted habit tracking app?

Immich - Self-hosted photos and videos backup solution from your mobile phone (AKA Google Photos replacement you have been waiting for!) - June 2023 Update - Initial support for existing galleries (read-only mode), memories feature, XMP sidecar support, and more 🎉
[Immich Github Repo](https://github.com/immich-app/immich)
​
Hello everybody, Alex here!
I am back with another update on Immich. It has been only a month since my last update (May 18th, 2023), but it seems forever. I think the rapid releases of Immich and the amount of work make the perspective of time change in Immich’s world. We have some exciting updates that I think you will like.
Before going into detail, on behalf of the core team, I would like to thank all of you for loving Immich and contributing to the project. Thank you for helping me make Immich an enjoyable alternative solution to Google Photos so that you have complete control of your data and privacy. I know we are still young and have a lot of work to do, but I am confident we will get there with help from the community. I appreciate all of you from the bottom of my heart!
And now, to the exciting part, what is new in Immich’s world?
* Initial support for existing gallery.
* Memory feature.
* Support XMP sidecar.
* Support more raw formats.
* Justified layout for web timeline and blurred thumbnail hash.
* Mechanism to host machine learning on a completely different machine.
**Support for existing gallery**
I know this is the most controversial feature when it comes to Immich’s way of ingesting photos and videos. For many users, having to upload photos and videos to Immich is simply not working. We listen, discuss, and digest this feature internally more than you imagine because it is not a simple feature to tackle while keeping the performance and the user experience at the top level, which is Immich’s primary goal.
Thankfully, we have many great contributors and developers that want to make this come true. So we came up with an initial implementation of this feature in the form of a supporting read-only gallery.
To be concise, Immich can now read in the gallery files, register the path into the database, and then generate necessary files and put them through Immich’s machine learning pipeline so you can use all the goodness of Immich without the need to upload them. Since this is the initial implementation, some actions/behavior are not yet supported, and we aim to build toward them in future releases, namely:
* Assets are not automatically synced and must instead be manually synced with the CLI tool.
* Only new files that are added to the gallery will be detected.
* Deleted and moved files will not be detected.
You can find more information on how to use the feature by reading the documentation [here](https://immich.app/docs/features/read-only-gallery)
**Memory feature**
This is considered a fun feature that the team and I wanted to build for so long, but we had to put it off because of the refactoring of the code base. The code base is now in a good enough form to circle back and add more exciting features.
This memory feature is very much similar to GPhotos' implementation of “x years since…”. We are aiming to add more categories of memories in the future, such as “Spotlight of the day” or “Day of the Week highlights”
​
[X years since displayed on top of the timeline](https://preview.redd.it/0y3q4xfwjy7b1.png?width=2999&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=51d3d154fd1c82f0e4acadfd97bfc66660885fb9)
​

This feature is now available on the web and will be ported to the mobile app in the near future.
**Support XMP Sidecar**
Immich can now import/upload XMP sidecars from the CLI and use the information as the metadata of assets.
**Support more raw formats.**
With the recent updates on the dependencies of Immich, we are now extending and hardening

Pro Tip: You can add years to your Google Domain
I'm not sure what the future of Google Domains will look like now that it's been sold to Squarespace, but if it involves price hikes I won't have to deal with that for almost a decade. You can add up to 9 years to one of your current domains, and I presume your purchase will be honored by Squarespace. Go to "My Domains", pick your domain, then under Billing click "change renewal setting", under Domain Registration click "Add Years".

Why so many bots?
Literally thousands upon thousands of ssh bots are trying to access my server with different ports and IPs every time. I have disabled password authentication but I’m still worried about this. Every day a few hundred try to access my server which is exposed via a domain name. Is this normal? Is my server secure?

Sanity check me please
So I recently acquired three raspberry pi 3B’s. I want to get into hosting my own services as I’ve been looking at home labing for quite some time out of curiosity and a piece of entertainment, but I never had a moment to jump in. Now having three sad pi’s doing no work in my drawer all day I felt like this was the time to start. I want to deploy services onto them like pi-hole, pi-VPN, home assistant, et cetera, ... Just light weight services to get my toes wet.
I looked into my options and I thought that clustering them together made the most sense. This way, there is redundancy if something ever were to happen to one, scalability if I were to acquire more pi’s, and distributing of resources, and ease of management since there is only one node to talk to. The only problem is that when reading into kubernetes and watching video’s on how other people do it I feel kinda overwhelmed, and it looks so complicated.
It’s not that I’m new to linux, the command line, or deploying containers. Not to say I’ve got all the required skills. Subnetting, and all else network wise is still very new and abstract to me (if anyone has some great guids for noobs lmk, it’d be appricated, none of what I watched seems to have clicked). But for some reason it just looks way to hard to do. And I can barely understand what the guide is doing.
Am I forgetting an easier way, am I just overcomplicating things, because that is what it feels like. Or am I just affraid to jump in for real?

Securing Cloud Proxy Running on Ubuntu Server
I have an Ubuntu Server instance running in the cloud. It runs docker with Traefik, then has a Wireguard site-to-site to my home OPNsense box. This allows me to use it as a reverse proxy and expose services I host without exposing my public IP. I do have a Cloudflare domain, but do not want traffic proxied through their servers. This means by default I am allowing all connections to the proxy host running in the cloud. The cloud provider does not have any sort of specific firewall rules like country, etc. that Cloudflare offers.
How can I go about securing this Ubuntu server (for example only allowing connections from US, banning repeated connection attempts)?
I have looked at fail2ban, but since Docker bypasses iptables, I don't think that will work.
​
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

support for multiple raw formats. So users with DSLR or mirrorless cameras can now upload their original files to Immich and have them displayed in high-quality thumbnails on the web and mobile view.
**Justified layout for web timeline and blurred thumbnail hash**
This is an aesthetic improvement in user experience when browsing the timeline. Photos and videos are now displayed correctly with perspective orientation, making the browsing experience more pleasurable.
To further improve the browsing experience, we now added a blur hash to the thumbnail, so the transition is more natural with a dreamy fade in effect, similar to how our brain goes from faded to vivid memory

**Hosting machine learning container on a different machine**
With more capabilities Immich is building toward, machine learning will get more powerful and therefore require more resources to run effectively. However, we understand that users might not have the best server resources where they host the Immich instance. Therefore, we changed how machine learning interacts and receives the photos and videos to run through its inference pipeline.
The machine learning container is now a headless system that can run on any machine. As long as your Immich instance can communicate with the system running the machine learning container, it can send the files and receive the required information to make Immich powerful in terms of searching and intelligence. This helps you to utilize a more powerful machine in your home/infrastructure to perform the CPU-intensive tasks while letting Immich only handle the I/O operations for a pleasant and smooth experience.

Doorbell Camera Two Way Audio
I am using Frigate as my NVR for my security cameras, and am looking for a good doorbell camera.
I understand that I could easily setup the video stream for a doorbell camera that supports RTSP, thus making that available to frigate.
What I am more interested in is if there is software that I can use in my server to self host the two way audio (and preferably the video), as well as compatible client software (like a mobile app, etc). I would like to avoid utilizing the camera company's cloud / mobile software to do this, as I am already self hosting everything else.
Does such software exist (whether its FOSS or proprietary)?
Thanks

Self Hosted VOIP for Home
Hi everyone. I’m looking at the awesome self hosted GitHub page trying to find an ok self hosted home voip system. I’m used to the hardware paid services like voiply and I think I’ll still have to use something like for calling but I really want to self host something and get an IP phone or two.
A lot or all of the choices on that GitHub page are geared towards businesses for obvious reasons. So I wanted to ask which someone would suggest for home use, if any? Or if someone has different software in mind?
Only reason why I want to do this is because my wife can’t keep her phone charged or around her so kind of need something that will ring when that happens.

Collaborative checklists
We travel with an RV every other weekend and have a large list of items that need to be packed and checked off a list. I currently do this with Google Keep, but it gets very clunky with long nested checklists and doesn't allow me to have non-checkbox text interspersed in there.
Any recommendations for a selfhosted (or other) app that allows two or more users to modify a hierarchical checklist at once without creating conflicts? Note taking apps I've used (Evernote, Upnote, Joplin, Onenote, etc) either lack collaboration or create conflicts if multiple users edit at once.

Miro - MindMap Software Selfhosted Alternatives?
I'm looking for something similar to Miro which is a MindMap software. I like the flow and feel of Miro but would rather selfhost as I recently moved from Trello to Plankaban and honestly it's the best thing.
Not sure if Miro itself can be hosted but hey thought I would ask since I'm sure there's someone out there that knows of one that could be useful for me. Just looking for something very similar and without the paid features being paid basically. Was my reasoning for going with Plankaban for a Trello alternative.
I'm not looking to use next cloud as I'm hosting this on a Raspberry Pi alongside Plankaban and my Leantime installation.
Thanks in advance,

# Other noteworthy Changes
I honestly can't remember all the other awesome things we changed and added over the last year, so here are a few I found when scrolling trough the changelogs
[Release 1.4.8](https://github.com/TandoorRecipes/recipes/releases/tag/1.4.8) significantly improved lots of UIs, adding better navigation and dedicated layouts to mobile versions and cleaning up lots of old pages
Release 1.4.6 improved the import workflow allowing for automatic ingredient sorting to steps and using two new automations to manipulate the description and instructions of imported recipes
[Release 1.4.0](https://github.com/TandoorRecipes/recipes/releases/tag/1.4.0) drastically improved the search performance (still not where I want it but a good step) and added an improved API token system
Release 1.3.0 added the long awaited ability to be a member of multiple spaces and quickly switch between them
# Going Forward
I have tons of projects planned for the future and countless smaller bugs and improvements to work on, but I also need to take some time for myself and focus on the things that motivated me to bring Tandoor to life in the first place, so expect great things in the future but don't be frustrated if things don't happen tomorrow.
I also want to take this signifikant release as an opportunity to thank all the people both in my personal life and the Open Source Community who have helped me and the project to reach this milestone. They are great and I could not have done this without them.
Lastly if you want to support what I do and allow me to spend even more time working on Tandoor consider sponsoring me on GitHub. Its certainly not mandatory or expected but it helps justify taking time away elsewhere.
Lastly, just as a heads up, the hosted version and with that the demo is not yet updated to make sure everything is stable. The update will follow in the next 1-2 weeks. All self-hosted instances can be updated and should be safe to go ahead, but as always don't forget your backups.
