PSA: Oracle Cloud Free Tier halved in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] 2 points 3 months ago

In case others are wondering, here's how I changed my existing free tier:

  • go to instance, select your instance, actions, more actions, edit
  • scroll down to VM.Standard.A1.Flex, expand it
  • change OCPU and memory
  • Save (reboots instance)

    Does anybody know what's going on with Calibre Web Automated? [Solved] in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

    Laptop as server, how to best manage battery? (lemmy.ca)
     

    Hello folks,

    What do folks recommend as good practices to use a laptop as an always on, always plugged-in server? Specifically, how to manage the battery and some of the potential cautions/dangers of keeping it plugged in.

    I have a spare Dell workstation laptop that I'd like to use as a Proxmox node. I've seen a number of posts where folks will mention that using a spare laptop works well because it has a built in 'UPS', but then in the comments there's caution about the battery being plugged in all the time.

    I'm curious what folks do in terms of battery management, assuming I want to keep this as hands-off/low maintenance (but fireproof) as possible.

    Thank you all so much, ~M

    Update: thank you all so much for the great advice. This is a Dell Workstation and it does have a 'Primarily AC use' power setting in the BIOS, as well as custom charge levels available. Appreciate it and I hope this discussion helps other folks looking to do the same!

    Yep! for a while I deployed Calibre-Web alongside Calibre in a 'books' compose.yaml stack using Docker. I used volume mounts to expose my library to both containers. The main thing to be cautious of is that you don't write to the db from both C and CW at the same time (which could result in corruption). Some folks spin up/down Calibre as-needed, but I had them both running and was just mindful. I personally ended up switching from C+CW to Calibre-Web Automated and fully removing Calibre. I'm able to do everything from CWA that I was doing in both previously. FWIW if you are managing devices (e.g., family, etc.), Kobo devices + Kobo sync via CW/CWA is wonderful for usability (books show up on devices 'natively').

    SSH Client for Linux Desktop and Android - Alternative to Termius in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
    [–] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    I switched from Termius to Termix: https://github.com/Termix-SSH/Termix. Same idea, I wanted open-source, free (they state 'forever-free'), and self-hostable. I used the Proxmox helper-script to install the 'server' as an LXC on my homelab, and then there are 'clients' for Linux, Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, etc. I just copied my SSH credentials, hosts, and snippets over from Termius and haven't found a need to go back. I'm a relatively novice user and found xpipe a bit complex for my use, but it's another solid option too.
