Backup solutions
  • There are a lot of different methodes you could try. I think the easiest is to connect both systems with a (mesh)VPN like Wireguard, ZeroTier or Tailscale. Then you can simply copy stuff over using rsync -a (archive mode) with a cronjob or using special tools like Borg backup, kopia, etc

  • Looking for a music solution
  • I use deemon to download my music from Deezer (free account only supports 128kb/s, this is enough for me though).

    For the music server I tried both Jellyfin with the Finamp app and Navidrome with the Tempo app on Android.

    For desktop app for both I use SonixD/Feishin (crossplatform)

    Both where fantastic solutions but I stuck with Navidrome as it was easier to share playlists. (As an URL for non registered users or as public playlist for all registered users)

    My setup is as following: Hypervisor: Proxmox VE NAS: TrueNAS Scale (where all music is stored)

    1 LXC container with Deemon installed that downloads music in mounted NFS share from TrueNAS

    1 VM with Navidrome installed in Docker with the music folder mounted with NFS

    You don't have to use such a setup, you can perfectly do this on your existing PC with Windows, MacOS or Linux with DE. Or server OS like Linux with CLI, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS Scale or unRAID

  • Music Piracy Is Back in a Big Way
  • I use Deemon for automatic music downloading from Deezer (free). Then I stream my music with Navidrome and some Subsonic compatible apps for mobile. I have this setup for over 3 years now and I have 3TB of music ;)

    If you just want to download the songs you need, you can use Deemix (I use this Docker image, you can just install it as an application too)

    Tip: if you don't want to setup a music server, you can use Syncthing to sync you music and playlists between devices :)

  • VPS suggestions?
  • I use 1984.hosting, they are an independent VPS provider that runs on 100% green energy. Already customer with them for 2 years. Last year I moved my email hosting to them (unlimited domain names and storage).

    No KYC They accept bitcoin and monero

  • Collabora Code server docker compose?

    Hi everyone!

    I have fully setup my Nextcloud instance for a few years now together with OnlyOffice. I'm verry happy with it just that OnlyOffice can be a little slow with bigger documents.

    So i'm trying to get Collabora Code Server working in docker compose together with Language Tool.

    Does someone has a working docker compose file with both Code Server and language tool? I can't find any online. Thanks!

    New apartment help needed

    Hello there!

    I just bought my first apartment and I would like to make as much as possible smart and connectable to Home Assistant. I have to redo the whole apartment (electricity, walls, etc) so drilling some extra holes is not a problem ;)

    I just have a few questions where I can't really find a good answer to it. I hope you guys can help me :)

    First of all, I have a few criteria:

    • Everything should be local only (so no 3rd party cloud or accounts)
    • Selfhosting is possible (I have a Proxmox server running Home Assistant in a VM)
    • It doesn't have to be of the shelf hardware (DIY is fine, if it works as expected).
    • I prefer FOSS over proprietary software/hardware (I know that FOSS hardware is difficult to find). If proprietary see point 1 & 2.
    • Zigbee/Zwave > ethernet > wifi
    • Available in Europe

    What I'm struggling with:

    1. Lighting: What is the best solution for smart lighting? I already have a few Philips Hue bulbs and switches, now with the account restrictions they have I was thinking of buying a Sonoff Zigbee USB dongle off AliExpress instead of using the Hue Hub. Are there any better solutions like Shelly maybe or something else? For LED Strips I was thinking of using WLED on an ESP32
    2. Smart blinds, I already found some smart blinds (Like the one from Ikea) but they all work on batteries. As I have to redo the whole apartment I would like to have something that I don't have to charge every few months.
    3. Smart plugs: Maybe any in-wall/out-wall outlet that has the capability to see electricity usage that you recommend?
    4. Audio: I would like to have some multi-room audio as I really like to listen to music. I have 4 rooms that I want to control the music in. I was thinking to buy 4 old Sonos Connect AMPs Gen 1 from eBay, than I saw that they are not compatible with streaming music from my Navidrome (subsonic server) using HA. Is this true? Also I found a promising project called Snapcast, is it good?

    Sorry for the long post, thank you so much for your time! If you have some tips and tricks you want to share that will be kind of you :)
