Now that RocketChat 6.5 limits to 25 users or less what are you moving to?
  • We have used MM with now 450 users and Gitlab SSO cost free for years now at work. Can highly recommend it.

    Rocket Chat was really never acceptable for us because of 2 main reasons:

    • all users on the server are in „1“ team (there is no concept of „sub-servers“ or teams as in Mattermost.
    • the cost free push notification limit was always waaaay too low for more than only a couple users.

    What service one should NOT self host
  • WTF? You obviously don't understand Docker at all.

    - Docker and Docker images provide the absolute mimimum environment which is necessary to run an application. Containers don't have reserved resources, so only what is really used is used. A VM has a lot more overhead, as a whole computer plus complete OS are emulated.

    - There is not much to deduplicate because there is no redundant storage going on. Only the bare OS essentials plus the app are stored. There are some base OS containers (e.g. Alpine Linux) which are <10 Mbytes in size.

    - If containers themselves are "big", you are doing Docker wrong and store data inside of a container and not externally of the container in volumes or the host filesystem. With the next container pull, that data would be lost.

    - no idea what " just not work often due to due to already deduplicated extent stuff" is supposed to mean. That does not even make sense.

    Accessing your resources away from home
  • If you don’t trust Tailscale OR THE VPS YOU ARE ROOT ON YOURSELF, you should maybe not host anything.

    Also: you probably haven’t understood how Tailscale works: it only mediates the connection but the provider servers are not in between two participants in your network (except relay). Those are direct connections.

    Authenticator apps on selfhosted VM
  • So? No customer data got leaked. And even if the vaults would get leaked (which they didn’t), they are 2FA encrypted.

    Authenticator apps on selfhosted VM
  • That is the reason why I don’t self host my password manager: my 2FA passwords are in there, very conveniently and independently of any other device. I trust 1Password with that.

    Network traffic speed goes sooo slow on my NAS
  • Dude, first of all: get your units straight. You throw stuff around which doesn’t exist (like „m/s“ or „M/s“, meters per second?), so without making sure that YOU know what unit you really mean, WE cannot know what unit you really mean. To be able to analyze a problem means that the problem itself is described precisely.

    8 Mbits/s = 1 Mbyte/s . So make clear what you mean.

    Also: what should we do with your imprecise description on what you have done?

    What products do you wish you could self-host?
  • This is obviously not possible, as it is a huge undertaking to do that for the whole world. There is "Street View" in Apple Maps as well, btw.

    And even if it were possible to "self host" Google Street View, its image dataset is estimated at 115 PB. So you you kinda would need to have a little bit of space on your homeserver.

    Looking for a Self-Hosted Music Streaming App with Advanced Features
  • That is not at all how this works!

    songs which should be available for everyone

    No commecial song is available "for everyone", every song has royalties that need to be paid for it to be legal streaming.

    automatically download them from spotify, deezer, yt

    None of these services support downloads, except in their own app, but then encrypted, so that no other app can use it.

    There are some "Playlist curators" see https://routenote.com/blog/best-third-party-spotify-playlist-curators/ for some. But only if you have an account with the service.

    Looking for a Self-Hosted Music Streaming App with Advanced Features
  • If you want to self host such a platform, how should it inform you about new releases? If you haven’t downloaded everything on your server manually beforehand, where should it take the media file from?

    Just use the streaming service of your choice. Self hosting music is over.

    Online Dashboards
  • You seem to look for „digital signage“. So rather Google for that, imho. We use https://www.xibosignage.com to show some stuff, you are relatively free to put what you want where you want and can do that centrally for one or a lot of displays.
