I’ve never actually used it, but Faircamp caught my eye a while ago. https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/

I’m not sure if you can create a blog with it – it might only be for showcasing your music, no text posts. It definitely looks nice, though.

Gotcha. The web UI in wallabag is nice and works pretty well with ereaders. It’s already black-and-white, although it doesn’t have pagination, so you’ll have to scroll.

I’ve been using Wallabag for a few years now and really like it. (It’s the one thing I’m not selfhosting, though – I’ve been using their hosted service. But it should run on a raspberry pi with no problems.)

You can also export to epub, but you have to do that manually. OP, does your ereader run android? There are wallabag apps available, which are nice because they usually work offline after downloading articles from your wallabag server.

When Redis messed with their licensing terms a while ago, I thought to myself, “which project that I rely on will be next?” And I kept thinking it was going to be Minio.

So I switched from Minio to Garage a few months ago and it has worked great. I used the AWS cli to start copying everything over one evening, and when I woke up the next day, it was done. My S3 use is just one giant bucket for my music collection in Funkwhale, so I only had the one command to run. After updating the S3 urls in Funkwhale’s configuration, everything was good to go.

This has all made me start paying closer to attention to what kind of organization is behind the various open source projects that I use. Garage is made by a web development shop in France – they might even be a coop, or I might be thinking of someone else. I could be wrong about that last part. But they’re definitely not a VC-backed operation like Minio.

Yeah, a few years ago they advertised themselves as the perfect storage solution for blockchain projects.

I installed Grafana, simply because it was the only one I had heard of, and I figured that becoming familiar with it was probably useful from a professional development standpoint.

It’s definitely massive overkill for my use case, though, and I’m looking to replace it with something else.

That’s a very slick setup, nice.

I’m guessing that most iPhone users just use Apple Podcasts, and Apple themselves probably want it that way. (E.g. less promotion of third-party podcast apps on the app store.)

That minimalist UI looks very nice.

Pinepods looks so cool! I just created an account on the demo instance. The “smart playlists” feature just absolutely sold me.

Oh cool, I wasn’t aware of gpodder.net. I actually thought you were talking about the desktop gpodder application, which I had used before. Didn’t realize there was a server-side component to it as well. Thanks!

Thanks! Haven’t heard of Audiobookshelf before, and that’s the kind of thing I was looking for.

I use wallabag.it for this. I don’t actually self host it, I’ve been a paying subscriber to the maintainer’s hosted service for a few years now and I’ve had no complaints. It hasn’t had many new features lately, but it does do what I want it to.

It doesn’t capture comments in fediverse threads (see here: https://app.wallabag.it/share/6813d1f1616096.02317152 ), and there are some websites where it doesn’t detect the contents of the article, but it does work the vast majority of the time.

I’m not sure what you could do about a Nextcloud integration. You can export articles as epubs and pdfs; I’ve done that a few times and put the exported files on my Nextcloud server. But there are also a bunch of wallabag apps for your different devices, which is what I use to read articles on those devices.

edit: Oh, I forgot to add that you can generate an RSS feed of your unread articles. So that could be added to Nextcloud’s RSS reader.

I’m an advocate of running all of your self-hosted services in a Docker container and even I can admit that this is completely accurate.

You can think of Docker as something that lets you run all of your self-hosted services inside of their own virtual machine. To each service, it looks like that service is running on its own separate computer. (A Docker container is not actually a virtual machine, it’s something much faster than that, but I like to think about it the same way. It has similar advantages.)

This has a few advantages. For example, if there is a security vulnerability in one of your services, it’s less likely to affect your whole server if that vulnerable service is inside of a Docker container. Even if the vulnerability lets an attacker see files on your system, the only “system” they can see is the one inside of the Docker container. They can’t look at anything else on the rest of your actual computer, they can only see the Docker “virtual machine” that you created for that one service.

I love the way this looks! Is that some kind of UI library, or did you design it that way?

I have my music collection in Funkwhale now, which relies on metadata for organizing the library. But I want to check this out anyway – maybe I’ll create a few folders for specific listening cases.

Yeah, literally all of mine these days are trying to go to /wp_admin.php and /phpmyadmin.

Side note: this made me think, “I wonder how the phpMyAdmin project is doing these days,” and wow, all of their corporate sponsors are online vape shops and places to buy fake social media followers. (https://www.phpmyadmin.net/) What the heck is going on there? I know that funding open source projects is almost impossible, so I understand taking whatever money you can get. But it looks pretty bad when phpMyAdmin is a huge target for bots trying to steal your database, and then the entire project seems to be sponsored by companies that need emails and passwords to create fake social media activity.

Thank you! I’ve been ignoring that error, assuming that it was just about indentation.

Also I appreciate your use of the word “thusly” immediately after the word “tho.”
