Mine is beaverhabits, just a good habit app that has come out recently.

Having a browser in a browser is surprisingly useful.
What is your use case?
I used it to display the Home Assistant UI on an old iPad 2 which didn’t support the app or even the Web UI through Safari.
Ooh, thats a nice solution! Ive got an old iPad myself that doesnt do much, I could use that and set it up for the kitchen for my wife and I (mealie recipes)

Hmm, not sure if it’s lesser known, but Actual Budget is pretty neat. I pay for SimpleFIN to get transactions and whatnot, and it has been awesome to keep track of my finances.
I bounced off of Actual when I realized how clunky its goal templating is. I want to be able to have all my categories fill in a single click but the goal templates are hidden behind an experimental feature.
Yeah, it’s not perfect, but it works well enough to get what I wanted: see unexpected expenses from my vast array of credit cards. I’ve caught fraudulent transactions my bank didn’t, so that’s nice.
I don’t actually do strict budgeting with it, I mostly just want to see generally where our money is being spent, and I prefer to keep those transactions as private as possible (well, outside of my banks selling my transaction data to data brokers, that is…).
Ah. Yeah I’m trying to find an alternative to YNAB since they keep upping their annual fees but the service works so well for me that the price is probably worth it anyway.
Yup, probably.
But hey, there are free options (Actual and Firefly), so there’s no harm in trying them out. If you can replicate your setup in YNAB, you might just save yourself some money. But definitely don’t ditch it until you’ve gotten everything set up first.
Did you try Firefly as well? Why AB? Thanks for the recommendation and SimpleFIN looks great.
Firefly
Nope. I found AB and saw that they had experimental support for SimpleFIN, which supports financial institutions in my country (USA), and it was cheaper than my old, non-selfhosted solution (Tiller). SimpleFIN provides a pretty simple API, so there’s no reason Firefly couldn’t support it as well (and there’s an issue for it).
I also really hate PHP, so the fact that Actual Budget is written in node.js is a plus.
traefik-kop which allows me to use Docker-Compose labels for Traefik even on my other Docker hosts without the need for Docker Swarm or K8s.
That is actually very useful. I’m saving that for later.
Not useful on its own but https://sablierapp.dev/ was really useful for me in getting back resources from some of the heavyweight containers I use. For those unfamiliar with it, Sablier can stop containers that go idle and then spin them back up automatically when a request comes in. It requires Traefik, NGINX, or Caddy running always so it could complicate your server but for me I couldn’t do without it.
So would this work well e.g. with the the *arr stack? Because most of the services wouldn’t even need to run always
It probably would work well with those as long as the startup time was quick (my containers come up almost instantly) and the initiating clients can handle a bit of latency. I didn’t notice any hiccups in my use at all.
How would the timed tasks be handled if they’re offline
I believe this can integrate with various reverse proxies and trigger on-demand?
Right. When a request comes in, Traefik, for one, will hold the connection until the service is back up then forward the request as usual. This works for UIs as well. You’ll get a temporary loading page then redirected to the requested UI when the service is up.
This sounds quite interesting!
I use https://ntfy.sh/ for a lot of stuff and I don’t see anyone talk about it. I recently wrote a container to poll RSS feeds and send push notifications via ntfy https://github.com/chunkystyles/rssToNtfy
I’m a lifetime Pushover user. As far as I can tell, ntfy isn’t using official push notifications whereas Pushover does. Also, ntfy has issues on iOS. That’s why I’m still running all my notifications via Pushover.
I thought I replied to this earlier, but it seems like it didn’t take.
Pushover seems nice, but doesn’t seem to be self-hostable. It looks like there is a replacement service in the works called Overpush.
All I can say is that I don’t own any Apple products and never even looked at that section of their documentation. The Android and web clients work flawlessly, except that the Android client doesn’t support markdown.
While it may work great, nothing beats using the manufacturer’s push notification channels in terms of reliability and battery consumption. At least from my experience. And that’s why Pushover is still kicking around after so many years…
Ntfy, if setup correctly, uses a web socket connection, which reduces the battery usage. I don’t think I ever had it setup without that, so I can’t say how bad it is. But with it, it’s not a drain for me on a Pixel 7.
I use Gotify I self host it and it uses an app on my Android, super easy to set up and use. I tie in Home Assistant and a few other setups with it and it runs great.
That looks very similar to ntfy. I googled “gotify vs ntfy” and found this thread on reddit (ew, I know) https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/shw73e/difference_between_ntfy_and_gotify/
Con: User separation. A user can create “apps” (channels), and will receive messages posted there. Users will not receive messages posted to apps they didn’t create. I haven’t yet found a way to create shared apps, or allow multiple clients to receive notifications for a given message, and I don’t want to share client logins.
Now, this thread is 3 years old, so I don’t know if this is still the case, but this is a deal breaker for me. Several of the topic I have for ntfy are also subscribed by my wife, meaning we both get the notifications. I could just post the same message to two different topics, but that would be lame.
Webtop. Lightweight Linux VMs but in Docker.
I’m a big fan of Twitch Channel Points Miner v2 for getting all the hats (MT items) from Twitch without watching anything.
Looks like that one isn’t maintained. That page links to this one instead.
Been working untouched for a long time but might be time to update. To that maintained one, thanks!
Distrobox. Building weird projects is nicer when I can start from a fresh system each time.
Anything can be a docker container
Yeah, so pick a cool one
My point is you can make Dockerfiles do a lot of things
Which one
Does anyone have a guide or tutorial that can help me make sense of what everyone is talking about here?
well, i could just link you to docker’s documentation, but that’s not super helpful. The tldr is that docker is a way of distributing/running software you run on servers.
What do you want to do? Do you just want to learn, or do you want to set something up?
@oranki@lemmy.world’s hydroxide-push is very useful if you want to get Proton Mail notifications via ntfy, so you don’t have to use Google Play Services/Firebase Cloud Messaging on degoogled Android systems like GrapheneOS
Also check out the post in !unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com about it: https://lemmy.world/post/17087912PlantUML-Server: Github / Docker Hub I do use some plantuml graphics in my Obsidian notes to document my network setup. And it’s really nice to have a self hosted renderer where all my devices can access it.
UnifiBrowser Github / Docker Docker Image to access the Unifi API, helped a lot to debug the integration of Unifi data into other tools (e.g. Munin)
