  • So idk if this is the same thing as what you’re looking for, but I’ve been planning something similar but with a lower budget, lol

    Eventually I’m going to run something like OwnTone on a local server to play my personal collection. I have Google Nest Audio around (mic off) to have large sound but small footprint. And for other speakers or systems that don’t automatically connect to OwnTone, something like a WiiM Mini could work well as a bridge streaming device.



  • I’ve had Yunohost running in some way for probably 4+ years? It’s relatively solid, I can mostly depend on it without any issues. I like the SSO/LDAP user auth and perms, and the default fail2ban and ability to change ssh port from the UI. The update and system services pages are nice.

    What I don’t like is how apps are all installed locally instead of using containers or VMs. And resources are shared, so if one app uses, for instance, MongoDB, and another app needs it as well, they have to share the same one. It makes things run a bit leaner, but I do worry a bit about data bleed if there’s some vulnerability. And the apps are really hit and miss, since they have to be packaged, managed, and issue-tracked independently for this platform instead of the main app/project. So you find lots of orphaned or half-maintained apps that should be great otherwise.

    So you either suck it up and deal, or become a bit of a hacker/maintainer yourself on apps you care the most about. But if I wanted to get that involved I’d just roll a manual build myself. I submit issues and try to help where I can, but that’s not where I want to be.

    You could probably install something like Portainer and manually edit the NGINX config/homepage to hack some docker in there, but idk if I care enough to do that.


  • Eh, it is what it is. I have a full family life and a job screwing with computers all week. I don’t want to deal with spinning up, troubleshooting, and maintaining a mini devops stack.

    I don’t want to spend so much personal time to keep up with all the management and config, but I don’t think that means someone like me should have to live in a big tech world. If there’s a good framework that helps keep things easy to manage and secure for a minimal amount of input and time, even if I could run most of it myself manually with a lot more time investment, there’s no reason not to, IMHO.

    People make fun of Enya’s music but it’s really well produced and exactly what she likes to make. What a great life, making art you love, really well, never touring, and living with your cats in a castle
