Welcome to /r/selfhosted!

Hello, I'm Nick, co-founder of Medusa. In keeping with our tradition, we are excited to share our progress on our open-source commerce SDK with this wonderful community. We eagerly want your feedback!

We built Medusa to give developers the best foundation for building custom digital commerce applications. We do this by providing the backend primitives needed in modern commerce setups (e.g. cart, customer, channel, order logic) along with the tools to help orchestrate and customize these.

Below is an overview of what we shipped with Recap 3 over the past 12 weeks.

---

Workflows SDK: A new primitive in our toolbox, making it simple to build custom commerce flows involving multiple systems. Workflows orchestrate actions across your stack with built-in retries and rollbacks. Check out our Workflow animation or read the announcement.

---

API Routes, Subscribers, and Scheduled Jobs: Extending Medusa with custom functionality has been made simpler with three major DX improvements:

• API Routes: Add custom endpoints for bespoke logic or webhooks (announcement)

• Subscribers: React to events from across your commerce stack (announcement)

• Scheduled Jobs: Run logic to complete planned tasks (announcement)

---

Pricing module: Our new Pricing Module offers granular pricing control and configuration. Similar to our Product and Inventory modules, the Pricing module can run standalone in any Node project or combination with other Medusa modules.

---

Next.js Storefront Starter: Our Storefront Starter got a major update just before the Recap. The Starter now supports Next.js 14, enhanced product search, Medusa's latest features and modules, and got a redesign using our new UI components. Visit it here.

---

Ecommerce recipes: You can build various digital commerce applications with Medusa - Ecommerce, marketplaces, B2B commerce, PoS systems, B2B shops, subscriptions, and much more. Our new Recipes give you a starting point for each of these. Read our Recipes.

---

More custom Admin: Our Admin dashboard is more customizable than ever with:

• Widgets & UI Routes: Customize existing pages through Widgets or create completely new Admin pages using UI Routes (docs)

• Multi-language support: Translate the Admin into your preferred language with 15 translations already available (announcement)

• Medusa UI: Build Admin Extensions with the same look and feel as the Medusa Admin using our new component library (docs)

---

And a lot more: We continuously improve. Here are some of all the other things that came out:

• Auth methods: New authentication methods and stronger security foundation.

• Bulk Editor: A spreadsheet-like UX for creating and editing prices.

• Price Lists: Differentiate prices based customer groups, channels, and more.

• Import/Export: Load data into Medusa faster and use custom parsing strategies.

• API Reference Docs: Revamped design and more performant than ever.

I've been using docker for the last 2-3 years in ubuntu, last year I moved from setting up each instance with the docker CLI to docker-compose.

When I want to start up a new container, I create a new docker compose file in its own folder, add the info for the container I want, then launch it. If I need to modify any network or environmental variable I do that in portainer.

Would it be better to have a single docker compose with all of the containers listed?

Would it be better to have docker compose files for each set of containers that interact with each other?

Would it be better to keep using a new compose file for all of my containers?

Edit: Services Active

• NGINX
• Actual (x2)
• audiobookshelf
• Cloudflared
• PiHole
• Plex
• Tandoor & Postgres
• Trillium (x2)

These all use cloudflared for routing since i'm behind a shared CGNAT (thanks starlink)

Then I have game servers

• Playit.gg
• Minecraft (x2)

This Week in Self-Hosted (8 December 2023)

I just cleared up 142GB of space by doing so.

I have a quite powerfull server with a good NVidia GPU. I would like to install something like ChatGPT.

What I need:

- selfhosted on a Linux-Server --> WebGUI

- GPU Acceleration

- The possibility to upload PDFs, which should be processed and e.g. summarized.

​

What would you suggest?

Which is nice. And finally got it to launch and be the default when using the searchbar in FireFox.

But by GOD do they NOT want you to be able to easily add you own search engine. You need to go into the about:config settings, find an obscurely named property and set it to "true" to enable the add button in the search section of the FireFox settings. If not, that button is greyed out (!)

Judging by all the search hits on this particular issue. I am not alone in this. I now feel very strange, using a search that feels like Google actually did on day one. Which is now a very long time ago! (God I feel old)

It's shocking this is even allowed. But not suprising considering how they make their money.

If you can, just deploy it. Trust me.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB) running only Paperless-NGX. My goal is to access not only Paperless but also other self-hosted items on my older Raspberry Pi remotely (apple time machine, etc). I'd like to preface that my wife is not tech-savvy. I will handle all the install and that part can be complicated but day-to-day use of the system should be seamless (hence why I'm looking at tailscale). Both systems work well with Pi-hole, which I plan to add as well. While I've searched, there are very few comparisons of PiVPN and Tailscale. Lastly, if it matters I would like to make my home the exit node. I welcome any and all feedback.

Hello Reddit!

I am running and hosting some services for my bigger hobby-blog and my voluntary team, which depends on reliable and working infrastructure. This includes a web server, mail server and so on.

For me personally, I am also using that infrastructure for my personal mails, cloud, and a lot more.

Now, always when travelling or being away, I feel "bound" to that things and keep thinking about taking my laptop, in case anything happens. I also have my phone by me, for checking what monitoring says. A (short) downtime would not be that big issue, but things like important security updates, security breaches and so on.

Also, important to say, that I have no second admin which could handle that for me while being away - if I had one, I would feel unwell managing him that, as my personal mails and data are also on that server.

How do you handle such things? I really like hosting services for my own, but I am thinking about giving that away. Don't know how to do that instead - do you have tips?

I really want to be away again with the feeling "I don't give a **** if anything happens, someone has my back".

Thanks!

It should be fairly easy to understand. Remove the parts in the red and add the ones in the green, in the docker compose file.

Do be careful when updating.

I think this has been asked before, but it's been a bit.

What is the best replacement for TeamViewer for windows clients? I need to be able to remote into a hand full of windows clients. I don't need a lot of extras, just remote access. Easy to setup and install is a great bonus!

Guys, anyone has experience with Mistborn ?

It looks promising. If it's stable and a decent setup guide can be found, that will be amazing.

Please share your thoughts and/or experience about it.

I switched to Synology last year so I have my old QNAP TS-670 just sitting on a shelf in my office. Looking for some ideas on what I can do with it. I don't want to use QTS, I heard that Unraid can run on these but haven't looked into it much.

Could it possibly be used as just a direct attached storage for my Plex server? Is it even worth using? I was going to buy 6 x 18-22TB drives.... will it even support that big? Looking for opinions if I should even waste my time messing with it.

I keep moving forward with my self hosted home lab. I feel like I. Could do better, be more consistent, or more deployable with IaC.

I want to setup nodes amongst my family to host accumulated DVDs. In my vision I have various nodes setup the same way.

Hi - I've gotten a basic Apache Guacamole setup done, using a few articles. For example, I can run the mysql container, guacd container, and the guacamole container. Then configure an SSH target, create a user, and get to the target. (and it works!). OH - and my 'mysql' directory is in a docker volume, so the user db persists.

The next thing we want to do is to setup the TOTP authentication extension. I created a docker volume, copied the jar file into /opt/guacamole/extensions (assume thats the right directory).

Next, I read that I need to edit guacamole.properties, which I found in /home/.guacamole/.

Next, it appears that I need to add some entries into the props file.

So here's the question - how should I go about editing the props file? vi and nano are not in the image. One option - I could copy it out, and then copy it in right after the docker run command, but that leaves the props file on the host file system.

Any solutions or Thoughts out there? Thanks in advance.

any host servers thats 18+

Hi, I'm wondering if there is any way to get smart music lists based on similarity of the songs (tempo, dynamic range, etc.). I thought Apple Itunes Genius feature (deprecated years ago) had some offline algorithms behind it, but i read some papers saying that there is no black magic but only data analysis of user statistics.

So: there is any open source project trying to do something like this but using offline algorithms in a self hosted app? And, if not, maybe some plugin for sonar?

Greetings

I have the following requirements; could you let me know if there is a software can do all this:

1. Create task and its sub-tasks.
2. Sub-tasks need to be done sequentially (one after the other) and each sub-task would be assigned to a different person.
3. There should be a way to assign sequencing between sub-tasks.
4. When a sub-task is completed, then an email would go to a person who has the next sub-task in the series.
5. When a person sees his tasks, he would see only those sub-tasks which have become due (means, the previous sub-tasks are completed).

I recently switch from an iPhone to a Pixel 8 Pro. The feature I miss most is the ability to see where my immediate family is in the FindMy app.

Is there a self-hostable solution that can replace the FindMy capabilities?

I'm trying to set up Radicale as a Dockerized calDav, cardDav server. Everything works fine when I set it up for http access but when I try to set it up for secure access I get the following in the container log:

[2023-12-08 01:51:25 +0000] [1] [CRITICAL] An exception occurred during server startup: Invalid filepath value for option 'certificate' in section 'server' in config file '/config/config': '/var/snap/nextcloud/37720/certs/certbot/config/live/<mydomain>.com/fullchain.pem' ([Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/snap/nextcloud/37720/certs/certbot/config/live/<mydomain>.com/fullchain.pem')

The file and directory does exist and I made sure that everyone has read/execute privilege to it.

Here is the docker command used to start the image:

sudo docker run -d --name radicale 
    -p 5232:5232 
    -v ~/docker/radicale:/data 
    -v ~/docker/radicale:/config:ro 
    tomsquest/docker-radicale

And here is the relevant section of the config file that Radicale uses:

[server]
hosts = 0.0.0.0:5232
ssl = True
certificate = /var/snap/nextcloud/37720/certs/certbot/config/live/<mydomain>.com/fullchain.pem
key = /var/snap/nextcloud/37720/certs/certbot/config/live/<mydomain>.com/privkey.pem

Do I have to mount the cert location as a volume in the container??? If so, what is the mount point?

Hello,

I am new here and want to ask, which are the best on-premises OpenSource Tools for Project Management right now? I looked for OpenProject, Jira, and other stuff. But Maybe someone has a tool to suggest and some experiences with those above.

Tyvm!

Anyone compare a lot of no code options?

I've been checking out a lot of options, and curious the favorites are.

So far, my preference has been Windmill, but I've only tried a few so far and it really isn't "no code".

Hey guys, I'm having a little trouble articulating this simply.

I'd like to be reading something, ideally on my Android phone, and when I see something I want to remember later (not the entire article) I'd like to be able to highlight it and, in as few steps possible, store that line or paragraph in a doc or database somewhere (self-hosted) with a link to the source (URL, article title, file name, whatever) automatically added.

I think the closest example I can think of is the feature in Google Books where you can highlight text in a book and it will automatically be saved in a 'notes' doc stored in your GDrive under the book/document title. But in addition to wanting to self-host instead of use Google products I also want to be able to highlight and store text from anywhere (especially Wallabag), not just eBooks.

Right now I'm highlighting text and using the share popup to share to an Obsidian doc and then going back and copying the link/title and returning to the Obsidian doc to paste that. If I'm using Chrome it does give the option to share the text with a source link but this option is not there when highlighting from an article in Wallabag or a downloaded PDF. Plus I'd like to get away from Chrome soon, too.

Does this exist? Am I overlooking something very obvious? Do I have to make it myself? Any help appreciated.

Each one of those has deal breaker for me. Emby doesnt show thumbnails for tv shows folders and add folders of non media things. Jellyfin enforce video transcoding and disabling it cause it stream no audio? Wat!

Anyway are there others worth trying

I've dedicated centOS 7 (web) servers with cPanel/WHM. cPanel has stopped support for centOS 7. I've to migrate to a new dedicated server. I'm not sure which linux to choose next. Can anyone recommend stable and future proof linux version with cPanel?

P.S. cpanel community forum is fucked up as they have removed older forum posts and migrated to some shitty platform so can't expect any answer there as it is dead forum now hence posting here to get help.
