Sometimes you start a hobby project and it goes long, but you want the end result

When I set it up, I did not know better.

Now? Inertia. Nginx already does it for other things, I haven’t bothered to move home assistant over because home assistant works ( all but one days in a cycle)

I understand.

I learned again for the nth time that home assistant doesnt like refreshing my cert, and I can’t go to the site to refresh the cert unless it has a valid cert…

Maybe I’ll fix it tomorrow. It’s valid again now.

I looked into it briefly: They have a comparison of different forks on their GitHub, it looks like when they ran the comparison, chaptarr did pretty poorly.

They also claim chaptarr is vibe coded, which carries it’s own baggage.

The closest I have is setting up a small single board computer as a vpn tunnel that your kobo can connect to, but I haven’t been that much in need. (Tunnel to home, then the kobo thinks it’s home and all is good)

I don’t want to punch a hole in my network that isn’t secured in some way for the kobo.

Still using readarr, with rreading glasses metadata

Watching the development of chaptarr and waiting for it to be ready for a daily driver

I’ve gone specifically for milk, one item lists are pretty easy to memorize. The problem is coming back home with only one item.

My process typically goes: ooh, shiny new service!
If it has a docker compose, I’ll read up a little more on it, then set it up.
At that point, I’ll cry a bit in having to change my nginx config, because it’s new and unsupported, figure out what’s actually needed, then realize I didn’t set it up with authentik or even check if it was supported.
Usually I’ll dig around and someone got something close, so I’ll set it up that way, and if it works, great! If not, dig through the documents.

Any further interoperability is luck based.

(I’m currently trying to get element-call working before I open it to my family, the whole matrix stack is leaving me scarred )

I figured the well-known part out myself eventually, and for the next one through here: in homeserver.yaml, adding extra_well_known_client_content: org.matrix.msc4143.rtc_foci: [{“type”: “livekit”, “livekit_service_url”: “https://livekit.domain.com/”}]

Added it to the generated well-known/matrix/client.

Still don’t know about jwt vs mas, maybe I’ll figure that out today

Good looking bread always gets an upvote from me, regardless of the sub. Those baguettes look delicious. How do you transfer them to the baking sheet? Mine always end up scraggly and not straight.

Similar-ish boat, my wife and I are both smart, differently. She can analyze through anything, given time and I’ve got a knack for quickly picking up knowledge. My only shot at winning Board games is on the first few playthroughs, after that, she tends to dominate or over-think it.

Unfortunately both of us also suffer from a lack of drive/follow through. We’re doing okay in life, but some days I know we could be doing great if we both had focus. Instead, we’re enjoying things while coasting. Life goals of a kid and a dog have been achieved, and I’m quickly becoming the least smart one in the house. (Kid has already gone through Neuro eval, that’s their story to tell)

I started trying to set it up last week, I can’t seem to figure out why authentik and it will not play. It either tries authentik and gets a 404 or ignores it and doesn’t find the user. (Nginx is also involved). It’s the least user friendly thing I’ve tried to self host so far

for future me: Matrix, MAS, Authentik and nginx are working okay now. I because I tested out matrix, I needed to wipe the database, then my account would load right. Importantly, getting all the URLs correct was important, and important to nginx as well.

Using MAS helped clear things up, as is one set of documentation for mas as opposed to merging docs for a bunch of different authentication services to figure out what’s going on. Pay attention to the ports in their documents, and what gets routed where.

Next step: voice and video

I’m not going to be a huge help, but what are your safe foods? Maybe start with replacing takeaway with heated at home? Many takeaway fried foods come frozen in the grocery store and heat quite well in an air fryer. Others microwave half decent.

Eventually, maybe grab a new thing from the store to try out alongside your normal food. (I have a huge habit of ordering an extra thing from restaurants to try things though, so this may not help you much. For me having a backup let’s me explore a bit more)

No complaints, but I’m just 2-3 users, so I’ve not really pushed it hard.

Ram is full. I wouldn’t say performance is great, but it’s good enough that no one complains.

I’ve got the arr stack, nextcloud and immich, with 16gb ram and I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t add anything else.

I’ve got a 4-bay ugreen nas with truenas on it, works great. (The non plus model)

I started with a Minecraft server, once the PC was in the basement…

That site uses a few new-to-me phrases that might help you adjust your search while looking for the perfect solution.

What about something like https://awakeningbell.org/ (if you are at your computer all day)
