I used miniflux for a long time, it's great. But my server went down a couple of times over the years, and i couldn't fix it while being away from home.

I ended up using an RSS app on my phone (Feedflow), as i don't consume news on my desktop. And I enjoy this much more. If my server goes down, i can still read my news

I use Yamtrack, it tells me which streaming provider has each show and it alerts me of new episodes. I like it

Floppy seems like a fork with a major expansion of the code base, mostly AI?.

I tried installing floppy. The comment about 420 000 lines of code different from yamtrack, and that it took a long time to load makes me wanna stay with yamtrack for now. we'll see how the two develop over time

Thank you for your response 🙂 I will stick to sqlite

How do i use environment variables to make a indexer? I couldn't get it to work

i.e. the part with directories https://hister.org/posts/indexing-local-files-with-hister

indexer:
  directories:
    - path: ~/Documents
      filetypes: ['md', 'txt']
    - path: ~/code/projects
      filetypes: ['txt']
      excludes: [, 'secret/*', '*key']
    - path: ~/notes
      patterns: ['*.org', 'doc_*', 'README']

I have tried it a bit today and I like it, but I have a few questions

• Is it better to run it in docker or e.g. a LXC in proxmox? If i want to index files, it seems it needs the config.yml file
• After just playing with it for a day, the disk usage is 150 MB. I figure I should use postgres instead of sqlite. Do you have any examples on how to set that up, preferably with docker? I guess I can figure it out, but it might take me some time. I am not familiar with pgvector

Can i use this in my self hosted environment? the docs talk mainly about running it in the terminal

does it have a docker install? found it https://hister.org/docs/docker

can i connect it to other services like paperless, or would i need to manually import files?

One note,

I used a raid with WD 8 TB drives, and when a drive failed we bought a Seagate Ironwolf Pro 8 TB to replace it.

The NAS wouldn't accept it into the raid, because it had fewer bytes!

We found a workaround by tweaking partition sizes for that particular raid, but it caught me by surprise.

this was mdadm, not sure if zfs has some awareness to slightly differences in sizes between hdd models

I just checked my immich lxc, ram usage fluctuate with plateaus of about 1 GiB, and some spikes up to 1.5 GiB.

Two users, 100+ GiB of images and videos

I organized paperless in the beginning but not so much anymore.

I have given it access to my email inbox and to add attachments automatically. I can then search for receipts and more without having done the work to import it manually

it works relatively well. for sites and services that actually include pdf receipts

Proxmox

I went from a server distro (ubuntu server i think) to Proxmox and it was a very nice upgrade. Leave the core system alone and put your "mess" in LXC containers and VMs. When you know what you want, set up a new one with the good config, and delete the old one whem you are confident you no longer need it.

How do you guys test your backups?

I have restored my proxmox setup from backup and it worked, but that is not something I do on regular basis.

I have from time to time done spot checks that certain files are working.

Most of the time I rely on the verification done by proxmox backup server..

I do it manually. update the container version and docker pull and run

I have reduced the number of containers to ones i actually use, so it is manageable.

i use v2 instead of v2.1.0 docker container tags if the provider don't make too many bleeding edge changes between updates

Nice to see CalDAV is on the roadmap. I will wait for that before trying it out, as it is the cornerstone for my system today (radicale and tasks.org)
