What a shit take calling people dumb for trying to boycott a big tech platform. Having your project primarily on GH including issue tracking etc is in github’s best interest as being “the” code platform. If MS wouldn’t think they benefit from it, they wouldn’t host it for free.
Hosting platform is also not the battle I’m choosing but come on.
Best type of homelab! Just use what’s there
Cool idea with that thread series! I tried a similar thing with the Selfhosting Sunday posts and I always enjoy seeing what everyone’s up to.
I’ve been running Docker containers on plain Linux (Debian mostly) for a long time (and native a pplications before but I’m glad I migrated most of it) but last year I switched to Proxmox for my own hardware. I was mostly interested in the super comfortable automated VM snapshots but after adding a second node I’m also glad to have High Availability. To maintain a proper quorum (have at least 3 nodes for decisions) I run corosync on a Raspi. It’s been super reliable once set up properly. I have a NAS for backups/snapshots which is native TrueNAS (it was simply the best GUI for ZFS and NFS).
Thought back and forth about setting up K3S and migrate everything but I decided it’s not worth the effort and would just be for practice, but I can’t be arsed to set it up just for that. (I do K8S at work but we have managed clusters so barely any low level tinkering).
As I quoted, the dev found CW lacking features compared to C. That’s where CWA comes in. Check the Readme if you want a comprehensive list of all additional features.
Any particular reason you are looking for a virtualized VM? Just to be less reliant on a single piece of hardware?
Oh exciting, finally!
It’s both. It compares all three variants
Idk if it’s a fork or rewrite, but it’s it’s own thing.
Which native app do you mean? Calibre desktop?
It’s by different devs. One is a desktop application, one a selfhosted Webservice. I think there’s room for both.
From the Readme:
Why does it exist? 🔓
Calibre, while a fantastic tool for its age, has several problems when containerised, including its reliance on a KasmVNC server instance for the UI, which is near impossible to use on mobile and is relatively resource-heavy if you’re running a small, lower power server like I am.
For many, Calibre-Web has really swooped in to save the day, offering an alternative to a containerised Calibre instance that’s resource-light and with a much more modern UI to boot.
However, when compared to full-fat Calibre, it unfortunately lacks a few core features leading many to run both services in parallel, each serving to fill in where the other lacks, resulting in an often clunky, imperfect solution.
Yeah that looks pretty cool indeed. I need to check out the KOReader sync thing, maybe I won’t need Syncthing anymore
I gave it a quick try and while it’s not exactly what I had in mind, it’s pretty cool! I’ll organize my log formats a bit and check it out more in depth, thanks
It has logs of course, but I want something like a dashboard and alerts, not having to scroll a textfile
Yeah I understood what op is looking for. Having your code hosted on GitHub was what I was referring to with hosting, not your platform itself (we are talking about selfhosted stuff here anyways).
The devs need to move off GitHub? No shit? Maybe, as a user, preferring projects that host their code elsewhere could be an incentive to devs using something else then? Like, looking for a selfhosted audio project and asking if there’s any that doesn’t primarily rely on GH?
It’s not that it’s totally absurd being somewhere else. The whole KDE project has it’s own Gitlab and many projects are on Codeberg or their own forges. Yes, the overwhelming majority is on GitHub. That doesn’t mean looking for projects that aren’t is dumb.
