I'm looking for a tool that monitors a YouTube channel, then downloads only new videos into a folder.

I found ChannelHoarder, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it and/or if anyone had any other suggestions?

Also, sorry if this is not the right place for this question. Mods, feel free to remove if this isn't the right place.

I have started moving away from gmail and have started exporting my older e-mails via the takeout option. This generates .mbox files. I don't really use any e-mail clients on my computer and do most of my e-mailing on my phone, so I don't have a way of viewing/searching those files.

Therefore I was wondering if there is any selfhosted option for some kind of e-mail archive/viewer with decent search function that anyone can recommend? Specifically something capable of handling those .mbox files. I found a few projects that sounded promising, but they seemed either dead, weren't setup for selfhosting or could only connect directly to the mailboxes. So I thought I'd ask here if anyone has experience with this, maybe some recommendations?

Also open to alternative approaches what to do with those files. I just would like to delete these mails from gmail entirely, but that requires I can search them with as much ease as I can on gmail with a local option.

Thanks!

CookTrace is a self-hosted recipe manager. Runs in a single Docker container, PWA + native Android app, no accounts on external services, no data leaving your network, AGPL-3.0.

• Repo: https://github.com/TraceApps/cooktrace
• Docker: ghcr.io/traceapps/cooktrace:latest

Retiring -rc.N and moving to strict semver. Docker images now publish under multiple tags so you can pin :1.0, :1, or :latest depending on how aggressively you want updates. Also delivers a real Send Test email flow with recipient dialog, fixes two Android bugs (recipes showing the wrong creation date, SMTP settings loading blank), patches a high-severity adm-zip CVE in the backup restore path, and adds public contributor docs.

Every future release uses strict semver: PATCH for bug fixes, MINOR for new features, MAJOR for breaking changes. Existing rc.N image tags and release assets stay live indefinitely; anyone pinned to a specific rc release is unaffected.

Added

• Multi-Tag Docker Publishing. :1.0.0, :1.0, :1, :latest. Pin :1.0 to auto-receive patches without opting into future 1.1.0 features.
• :dev Docker Tag. Rolling image built from the dev branch.
• Send Test Email Dialog. Asks where to send the test, pre-filled with your account email.

Changed

• Retired the -rc.N suffix.
• Send Test actually sends an email now (was just verifying SMTP auth).
• Email section moved under Admin.
• Password field uses a Change button when the server has a stored value.

Fixed

• Recipes on Android showed the first-connect date instead of the real creation date. Heals on next sync after upgrade.
• Email settings blank on the Android app.
• Trace AI chef hat clipped at the top of the FAB.

Security

• adm-zip 0.5.x → 0.6.0 (CVE-2026-39244, high). Crafted ZIP file could trigger a 4GB memory allocation during full-backup restore.

• Signed APK: https://github.com/TraceApps/cooktrace/releases/tag/v1.0.0
• Docker: docker compose pull && docker compose up -d

AI Disclosure

Per Rule 7 / [AIP] disclosure requirements AI was used during development as a coding assistant. Level per category:

• Design (architecture, system design): Hint, I make the architectural calls; AI suggests trade-offs and edge cases I might have missed.
• Implementation (production code): Pair, roughly 50/50. AI drafts, I review, adjust, test on real hardware, and only commit what I've verified. Every commit is manually reviewed before it goes to my dev repo.
• Testing (writing tests, test plans, QA): Assisted, real-device testing is manual (I test on my own PC and mobile devices before every release). AI helps draft test plans and think through edge cases.
• Documentation (docs, comments, README, CHANGELOG): Pair, release notes and changelog entries are drafted with AI then edited for tone; comments and code docs are mostly Pair as well.
• Review (code review, PR feedback): Assisted, I'm the reviewer; AI helps with security sweeps, audit passes on complex changes, and consistency checks.
• Deployment (CI/CD config): Hint, Docker / GitHub Actions / release pipeline is largely conventional; AI-suggested improvements only.

WordPress and ActivityPub: my first fail

@selfhosted

I've already posted about my success and fail in the past, but I have something else to talk about: ActivityPub fails in my self hosted WordPress (hostinger vps).

Setup: YunoHost, WordPress multisite. For a multisite network, YunoHost requires WordPress to reside in a folder. Such as "domain .ext /folder" and not "site1 . domain .ext" or "site2 .domain .ext"

Started setup, the site apparently works. But, before involving a co-worker to help me with theme, I wanted to try installing ActivityPub plugin first.

Immediately WordPress health system, warned that endpoint webfinger wasn't accessible.

Watching the logs, it was YunoHost ssowat and I tried to comment it on domain's nginx file - /etc/nginx/config.d/domain.ext.conf

Result, from 302 error, it returned 500. "error establishing database connection".

The .well-known stays on /var/www/.well-known, while WordPress lives on /var/www/wordpress__3

I set all YunoHost's permissions to "visitors"

I really don't know where to go, at the moment.

Greetings Lemmings!

I am not new to self hosting; been at it for a few years. And I have neglected a very important part of my home lab; MUSIC!

So I stream music from Navidrome to all of my devices.

My music library has grown organically over the years, for probably the past 17 years. And a few times I had manually organized and fixed up some of the tags. But ultimately I ended up with a mess of a library.

I am working on cleaning that up. Though I absolutely should have cleaned it up before I created 2 backup scripts.

In short, I have a script that is called from a systemd service on a timer that runs my backup script that essentially more or less uses rsync to mirror the files in LiveMusicDir to MusicArchive1. This happens on my docker host where my Navidrome lives. The Music is on an NFS share hosted outside of the docker host.

The next step I run another similar setup on my desktop; systemd service running a script on a timer that uses rsync and other dependencies to track changes.

What I plan to do is organize the source. I am using beets, and learning as I go.

What methods do you use for managing a large music library?

Hello everyone!

I've been hosting Ente on my server for a year or so, and it has been going well. But last month I discovered that some images and video's on both my own and shared albums are blacked out and I cannot click on them directly.

For the ones I could download, I deleted the original ones afterwards and uploaded them again. This did fix the issue, but there are way too many images for this to be done manually, not to mention the ones that error out when downloading. There are also some images that do display correctly on my Android phone and my family's iPhones. Though the latter issue might be explained away by the (lack of) needed codecs on my Fedora system.

I checked my hard drive's health using smartctl. The self test completed with no errors, and the SMART test passed. I also updated the Ente containers but the issue persisted.

There is no agency or anything. I have a cold backups for the volume from two months ago and an a simple plaintext one from last year. So it's luckily not a major issue, but I am a bit worried the issue may reappear after reverting.

Has anyone else had this issue? Or some pointers to where I could be looking?

Cheers!

I am using home assistant as the trigger, telling mealie to add random meal plans for X amount of days. One for a dinner and two sides.

All that is left is to have mealie's rules set up a little better, or perhaps tag food in new ways i haven't thought of yet.

either way, who else out there is enjoying having mealie take some decision paralysis off their hands?

Git repo

Convert Outlooks' horrendous .pst file to standard .vcf vCard and import to any vCard compatible client (your phone, radicale, thunderbird, etc.)

Why I made this?

I decided to move my whole org to ThunderBird to be free from forced proprietary formats. And I created this Java CLI app (Because Java had the java-libpst to work with PST files) to do it. I converted ~500 contacts successfully and we are free from Outlook at last.

This has worked for us, and I tried to make it as robust as possible. If you see any issues, please open an issue or PR.

LLM disclaimer: I used OpenCode + BigPickle to create this but I wouldn't call it vibecoded. I spent ~2 days on it so far and let the LLM help me. Hope it helps.

Like the question implies, I really want too get off of instagram. Its not the same space anymore, especially with the consistent push from Meta to use AI. Ive even made my profile private so those features don't automatically turn on. Its gotten crazy there.

TLDR: The r/selfhosted subreddit has a Discord server. The owner's account got hacked leaving the server in a precarious state. They submitted a support ticket, but Discord has not taken action in weeks and probably won't at all, so they are considering starting a new Discord server.

Hey folks!

I've started up a wiki for the community here, putting it up on Codeberg for easy access, edits, and forking if desired.

Right now you'll see only three pages:

• Home: A quick landing page and overview, with a link to external resources that matches the sidebar here.
• Glossary: Overview of terms~~, which I just realized has a few formatting goofs I'll be fixing shortly.~~ Edit: Fixed
• OS Choices: A review of how to choose your OS for self-hosting, or multiple if thats a better fit for your needs.

There is also a hidden _Sidebar.md, which is visible as a sidebar on the wiki. There you'll see the framework of what I'm setting up, and the links are put in only when the content is there.

A few notes:

• This is all my brain dump at the moment. I'm trying to keep personal opinions / slant out of it, but some things may still show up. Most likely unintentional, so it can be addressed if you see it.
• I use Kate for all of my editing, and the preview is.... eh not my favorite, so its absolutely possible for me to notice formatting snafus after a commit. As mentioned above. As always, you can feel free to comment, contribute, correct, etc.
• Codeberg wiki has a few... specific limitations, notably that everything goes into the same directory. Subdirectories are only for assets, so you may see names have a common theme, like "getting_started_WhateverTheActualPageIs". This is intentional for my sorting purposes to deal with how they handle things.
• I've seen someone here share their wiki for a user (who I'll be reaching out to), as I'd personally enjoy seeing members of our community featured as a resource. If you have a wiki you'd like to share, please send me a message. If the list gets lengthy, we can turn it into a link to a post called Community Member Knowledge Base or something.
• The repository above the wiki has things like the rules and sidebar contents, minus a few of the more recent things like the example post. I add there as I have time available, and a bit of a python script for a super basic bot will be there as well (to respond to [AIP] posts without a Disclosure, have to make a few fixes on that before it goes in)

After I get the getting started section complete, I'll add to the sidebar as a resource, but I wanted to put this out there if others wanted to contribute as well.

Edit: Kind of stretching the definition of "code", but I've added the tag since this is kind of a promo item.

Edit: Now with a hardware section - once I add in the writeup for services (at a getting started level) it'll be in the sidebar fulltime. A tomorrow task if I can swing it...

Hi, I want to self host a git service to display my work (electronics) for some recruiters. Which platform is the best? I've heard about Gitlab, Gitea and Forgejo. For me the fact that the platform doesn't run some background analytics and does not sell my data is very important.

I have been running crowdsec on my OpenWRT firewall for a bit now, I am just curious as to what others think about it?

Thank you @irmadlad the webui you suggested is showing the logs a lot better than my vibe coded HA plug ins (both my ssh honey pot and my plug in showed nothing) looking over the logs shows so much activity that is happening.

Has anyone managed to get multiple CalDAV calendars (e.g. personal and work) to send out event invite emails using corresponding email aliases from the same email account?

I have multiple domains and aliases set up with a single email account through an email provider, but I'm just now trying to figure out how to separate the calendar into personal and work.

I'm finally making a real effort to add beets to my life. I've been hesitant because I like what I like and I (mostly) know what I'm doing, you know? I also have a lot of local independent albums that are just not likely to get tagged anyway.

But here I am. Yesterday I was able to work through:

• Implementing my preferred directory structure and naming conventions
• Adding album art (embedded and in the folder)
• Embedding lyrics
• Adding ReplyGain information

I use Navidrome as my server and have a collection of about 2000 albums.

What are some of your tips for using beets?

What cool things are you doing?

What should I be thinking about as I go about this?

Hi guys! I've been self hosting for a while and been using am 2 tb HDD I bought on aliexpress two years ago to host movies and series.. I bought a second drive to separate them and organize my media.

For 2 months everything went awesome but suddenly I started getting IO errors from my old drive. specially when I download and watch a movie at the same time.

Is my drive going die or could it be something else?

Dmesg showed these messages

[345778.390949] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#23 access beyond end of device

I/O error, dev sda, sector 3833662344 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x3000 phys_seg 1 prio class 2

The weird part is the sda device stops showing unless I turn the PC off and take the sata cables from it and restart the PC. Then I can watch movies for a while before getting this error again... Regular reboot does not work.

Bonjourno! I got a couple of domain names to register and I wanted to switch providers from google. I checked out a couple of the bigger ones like Cloudflare and Infomaniak but they're all asking me to upload a government photo id for security or whatever... I figured I'd ask around here to see what yall are using. I dont need anything crazy, mostly just the registration part. Bonus points for hosting dns with an api to manage records & what not but that part isnt necessary.

EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions! I really appreciate yall; This is why I love Lemmy. I ended up going with njalla. They got me when I read tgis on their about page:

Other organisations will brag about which customers they have. We brag about not telling who our customers are.

So, I've finally gotten a comfortable setup for my beautiful podman quadlets, its a simple debian system, heavily systemd reliant, and I'm curious about how yall admin such a thing, I've got a couple of scripts to create users, skel the home directories, and templates for services.

I'm particularly curious about handling subids, I'm pretty careful about them and not using too too many, mostly for being afraid of running out of them lol. But from what I've seen, linux allows you to go real stupid with it, like having a shitton of range and entrances.

I personally give my quad users like 500 subids to work with and they generally work fine, it really depends on if I'm gonna have more than one service running on them or not.

Build a fully self-hosted weather app, with support for PWA, automation routines, notifications and weather forecast voice assistant.

Hello,

I need some help troubleshooting. As per the title, I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3 with Debian bookworm kernel 6.12.93+rpt-rpi-v8 to host a local YunoHost server (12.1.40.1 stable) with the following apps:

• AdGuard Home (0.107.77)
• Baïkal (0.9.4)
• Grocy (4.6.0)
• Tiny Tiny RSS (2026.07.05)

Sadly, the server randomly crashes and can only be rebooted trough a hardware reset (pulling the plug).

Here are the last 50 lines of journalctl before the last crash: https://privatebin.net/?dbca869581c95573#83bk7W2CEPbeBGAXyg7wG8xLFhmGpwxBD9ReUaFphdCS

Here are the last 50 lines of journalctl before the crash before that: https://privatebin.net/?f7bdf2fd48ab12f7#9ZPh68rJ1p8JdzyLaGTXomZV4Lt7BhQFRYoXBKHMdKMb

I do not see anything troubling. The older journalctl read outs are equally bland. Do you have any advice on how to proceed?

Hello all,

I'm hoping to get some advice on my self hosting environment. I currently run Proxmox VE with a few VMs, and use Proxmox VE's built in VM backup method to my NAS. I don't currently have a good backup method for the host server itself, and I know I'm playing with fire not having that properly backed up.

I have an older laptop that I'm considering turning into a Proxmox Backup Server, which should allow me to backup the host server and VMs, which would make me feel a lot better. The one thing I haven't really seen info on in my research is if there's a convenient way to backup THE backup server. If anyone uses PBS, do you back that up as well? How so?

I appreciate any assistance or advice!

Today I fumbled thru the install of Rayfish and Yggdrasil. Both are awesome, but Rayfish was so much easier to install and use.

Have you tried these yet?

Here's the Yggdrasil link:

https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/

Yggdrasil has Android, Windows, Linux, Apple installers.

Rayfish only works on desktop right now, but hopefully soon they will be able to get it on Android.

I have a bunch of services running on my LAN, mostly from a single Debian machine. I access them at URLs like http://devicename.lan:portnumber. I would like to change to http://servicename.devicename.lan.

How it works now: The router (openwrt) sets a static IP per device and the port number is selected by the application or system unit running it.

What is the absolute simplest way to accomplish this? I don't mind if it is managed by the router or by the server machine itself. Hoping for something that can be configured with a text file or web interface or other basic mathod.

These sevices are private, just for me and I have no plans to ever access them externally. I have so far avoided any certificates or SSL or other stuff. I don't use docker and would rather not get into it right now. I like my domain name setup how it is with fake local domains.

Hoping this could be possible without making a whole project out of it.
