If you decide to not got the YunoHost route, I like the way this guide did reverse proxies with Caddy: https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker.

I think it’s cool you’re trying to find ways to get into this. If the goal is to learn, why not deploy the services on your laptop? They won’t be available when the computer is off of course, but you would still get the full experience. Even a low-spec laptop will be better than a cheap VPS.

As others said, both Firefly III and Actual Budget do not support stocks. I wish they did, but I guess I’ll have to stick with GnuCash + Metabase for now.

Perfect application for NocoDB in my opinion. They have a relationship view like the one shown in the screenshot and a form builder for easily adding new data. Setting up the relationships is easy. I find it much easier to use than DBeaver and the GUI is more modern.

The data is accessible by programs such as DBeaver, and they have a REST API too, should you need it.

I have my Vaultwarden public so I can use it at work too, but my firewall blocks all external IPs except my work’s IP.

Hey! My home server is an HP T630 with a GX-420 GI as well, but only 4 GB of RAM. I upgraded from a Raspberry Pi 3 and it’s been awesome. I’m currently running 18 Docker containers on it without issue. I use Jellyfin on my primary workstation that has my media instead if this server, but I run things like Paperless, Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Gitea, Wallabag, Pi-hole, NocoDB, and many more. It’s been great, I think thin clients are a great low-cost, low-power solution to x86 home servers.

I paid around $40 or $50 USD for mine, so $10 sounds great!

Let me know what questions you have. I can try throwing Jellyfin on it to see how it performs too.

I don’t like Notepad++ as a text editor for code, but my god is it amazing for taking quick notes. I’ve been searching for a Linux equivalent but haven’t found it yet. My favorite Notepad++ features:

• Opens immediately.
• Never loses data, and I mean never - unsaved files are restored after crashes, reboots, power outage, you name it.

For jotting down quick meeting notes in a hurry, it’s great. The settings are messy and hard to configure though, so I use Vim/Helix for writing code (hobbyist, not professional).

To be fair, the first time I tried running local AI (and it actually worked), I was so surprised that I actually unplugged my Ethernet and tried again. I’m still surprised, but it’s possible for the massive amounts of training data to be compressed to a model under only 10 or 20 GB.

I use Mailspring. The only thing missing from Mailspring for me is seeing what folders my emails are in when I run a search. Otherwise, it’s the only non-CLI client I’ve found that let’s me use the keyboard to select multiple emails and move them to a folder, something I do in Gmail.

If anyone knows of others, let me know! I’ve tried Claws, Evolution, Geary, KMail, and Thunderbird in addition to Mutt and aerc in hopes of finding something to replace Gmail.

Well put. On top of the 5 points about the target audience above, in order to make a sale they also have to:

• Have heard of the product
• Decide to buy it (many will research competitive products)
• Spend the time to actually place the order

For this reason, I use kebab case for directories. But because I agree underscores show spaces better, I use snake case for files.

I agree and use Arch as well, but of course I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone. For me, having the same distribution on both server and desktop makes it easier to maintain. I run almost everything using containers on the server and install minimal packages, minimizing my upgrade risk. I haven’t had an issue yet, but if I did I have btrfs snapshots and backups to resolve.

Since nobody else said it: make sure you have backups of any data you don’t want to lose. It’s really easy to accidentally partition any connected drive and wipe your data on it. (Learned it the hard way, but at least I had backups.)

Have you tried Chocolatey? https://chocolatey.org/. It’s a package manager for Windows and works great, much like brew for Mac. Or, if you prefer portable installation of programs without requiring admin, try Scoop (https://scoop.sh/). Of course, I’d rather use paru or yay on Arch, but I’m glad these options exist.

I find it hilarious that Microsoft even suggests these tools on their own GitHub page for the Windows Terminal.

Thin clients! I “upgraded” from a RPi3 to an HP T630 that I got new off of eBay for $65, including power supply (and case). I was able to upgrade the M.2 storage easily. I use mine as a home server running over a dozen Docker containers. It’s x86 instead of ARM too.

The only bad part was installing Linux. It took a while for me to figure out where the UEFI expected the boot files and documentation isn’t great.

I don’t use NocoDB in an app. I use it as an alternative to a spreadsheet, especially with its web forms and relational columns.

For development, you would probably want to use their REST API.

https://docs.nocodb.com/category/rest-apis

I agree. Last I checked, Yunohost, Umbrel, and CasaOS looked to be the best options, although admittedly I haven’t tried any of them.

NocoDB is awesome, although admittedly I haven’t tried Baserow. The “group by,” Kanban, and form features in NocoDB make data entry easy from mobile and nice to sort on desktop.

Definitely check this summary out: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/. Everyone’s use case and priorities will be a little different, but I’d vote for Immich as a Google Photos replacement that looks nice and is very easy to use. I was awestruck by the facial and object recognition, which wasn’t even a feature I particularly cared about.
