Hey guys,

I just released Komodo v1.19.1: https://github.com/moghtech/komodo/releases/tag/v1.19.1

For basic information about Komodo and what it does, check out the introduction docs.

The highlight of this release is the ability to manage both .env and configuration files from the Komodo UI, whether they are on the server filesystem or in a git repo. I'm really excited about this feature, and hope it helps make managing self hosted infrastructure easier than ever.

Additionally, the Build process now supports pushing to multiple docker registries. I've used this to publish images to Docker Hub as well as ghcr.io if you prefer to pull from there:

• moghtech/komodo-core
• moghtech/komodo-periphery

There have also been a number of notable community contributions recently. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to improve this system. 🦎

Be sure to check out the release notes for the full change log, there's a lot of interesting things in this one.

Here's a quick update on the fully open-source Trilium Notes project that is now over 30k Stars strong on Github. And with over 200 commits per week, development is very active 🚀

📝 Trilium was recently featured on the Dosu blog as a true open-source success story.

🙏 The original Triluim maintainer has gracioiusly given the community the original "Trilium" repository on Github, so TriluimNext Notes, will now be known as just 'Trilium' once again!

✨ Recent releases included significant improvements to the application theme (brings a familiar, but fresh, clean and modern look), AI features, OIDC, 2FA, quick / commands, geomap improvements, quick-edit mode, and lots of bug fixes.

🥇 Trilium Notes arguably offers the most feature packed, completely free and open source note taking applications available. No gimmicks, no up-sells, and no marketing - It's pure open source goodness. It may not be for everyone (i.e. flat-file-only or markdown-only note takers), but feel free to give it a try and support the developers if you feel so inclined.

🎁 Features (Mostly taken from Github readme, and more features being added every release.)

• Absolutely no paywalls/nags/pricing/etc
• Zen mode and Note hoisting for focused note taking
• Note versioning
• Special note types (GeoMap, Canvas, WebView, Mermaid Diagram, Mind Maps, Code notes, etc)
• One-click public Sharing (publishing) notes
• Synchronization with self-hosted sync server (optional)
• REST API for automation
• Web Clipper for easy saving of web content
• Direct OpenID and TOTP integration for more secure login
• Import and export notes in variety of formats (text, html, markdown, opml, evernote, etc)
• Notes can be arranged into arbitrarily deep tree. Single note can be placed into multiple places in the tree (see cloning)
• Rich WYSIWYG note editor including e.g. tables, images and math with markdown autoformat
• Support for editing notes with source code, including syntax highlighting
• Quick navigation between notes with quick commands,
• Full/partial/fuzzy search
• Note attributes can be used to make input fields directly in notes, querying and advanced scripting
• UI available in English, German, Spanish, French, Romanian, and Chinese (simplified and traditional)
• Strong note encryption with per-note granularity
• Sketching diagrams, based on Excalidraw (note type "canvas")
• Relation maps and link maps for visualizing notes and their relations
• Geo maps with location pins and GPX track support
• Scripting - see Advanced showcases
• Scales well in both usability and performance upwards of 100 000 notes
• Touch optimized mobile frontend for smartphones and tablets
• Built-in dark theme, support for user themes
• Evernote and Markdown import & export
• Customizable UI (sidebar buttons, user-defined widgets, ...)
• Metrics, along with a Grafana Dashboard
• Third party Android mobile app

📱 We currently don't have an iOS app option, so if you are a developer that would like to work on developing an iOS app for Trilium, please let us know! In the mean time, the mobile web interface can be used as a PWA - which has seen some significant improvements in recent releases.

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share TimeTracker, a self-hosted time tracking application that I built for freelancers and small teams who prefer control over their data and a reliable offline solution.

What TimeTracker Does

• Persistent timers: Server-side timers survive browser closes and reboots.
• No cloud dependency: Fully self-hosted in Docker—ideal for Raspberry Pi or any Linux box.
• Team features: Supports multiple users, roles (admin & regular), project and client organization, and billing support.
• Comprehensive reporting: Project- and user-based time breakdowns, CSV exports for external analysis.
• Responsive interface: Built with Flask, HTMX, and live WebSocket updates.

Why I Built It

Existing tools either lose your timer or lock you into cloud services. I wanted something simple, reliable, and offline-friendly—especially useful if you're off the grid, privacy conscious, or just want total control.

Who It’s For

• Freelancers tracking billable hours on their own terms
• Small teams who prefer LAN or Pi-based solutions
• Consultants needing quick reports without internet access
• Anyone who wants full ownership of their time data

How to Try It

1. Clone the repo and configure .env (copy .env.example)
2. Run it via Docker Compose: docker-compose up -d
3. Visit http://<your-pi-ip>:8080 and start tracking in seconds!

Full instructions, screenshots, and the README are on GitHub.

What’s Next

I’m planning mobile apps, integrations (Zapier, Slack), richer analytics, and internationalization. Feedback and contributions are welcome!

Would love your thoughts—especially on usability, feature requests, or ideas for integrations!

Cheers,
DRYTRIX

Hello everyone,

I've been using Sonarr/Radarr/Readarr and figured there should also be a "YouTubarr". Yes, I've found there's already a few other projects trying to do a very similar thing and I call out how this is different from each in the GitHub README. For the most part: this is a lightweight implementation - based on RSS feeds instead of indexing the entire playlist.

YouTubarr is based very similarly to the other *arr apps: it periodically checks RSS feeds for new updates and takes various actions when a new video is found. The UI was designed to be very similar to the other *arr apps.

A couple features:

• Instead of "Series", YouTubarr works based on "Playlists". Playlists can be either a channel's uploads playlist (for all videos on that channel), an individual playlist on a channel, or even your own favorites/watch later playlist
• As mentioned above, YouTubarr uses RSS feeds. In most cases, this works great, but this will bring a few caveats (see the project README for details)
• YouTubarr can also work with another service I built, YTSubs.app, to automatically pull in your YouTube subscriptions and keep them in sync
• YouTubarr allows any sort of webhook or process as an action to perform when a new video is found (called a "post processor"). For instance, this could be a Discord notification or a call to youtube-dl/yt-dlp
• For each playlist, you can customize the check frequency and even specify a regular expression for matching only specific videos

Check it out - I'd appreciate your feedback!

TLDR: What is your idea of balance between self-hosting a service vs. using one from the big companies? If you don’t use Google Photos or Gmail, for example, but still want to use Google’s AI features, is there a fine line where you just say, “yeah, f* it, let Google have it”?

Hi all,
This is something I’ve been thinking about lately with the growth of my homelab and the way technology is moving forward. My intention with this post is to gather perspectives, opinions, and experiences from fellow homelabers.

I started my homelab with simple stuff — a game server — but it quickly grew into more than that: docs storage, image storage, data backups, better network security, etc. Nothing extraordinary, but I do use my homelab services quite a lot (it was not all in vain).

My latest addition was Immich, the famous Google Photos replacement. Ignoring some weird quirks I had in the beginning, it’s been great so far and very reliable. I’m not yet at the point of removing Google Photos from my life — especially since I want to redo my current NAS setup — but it got me thinking.

A few days ago, I purchased my very first Pixel phone — about 80% because I needed a new phone, and the rest because it’s an amazing smartphone (heck, I deserve a nice upgrade after six years with my old Redmi). And if you know the current tech scenario, everything has AI. The Pixel comes packed with it, but obviously it only works because Google “owns” us: Calendar, Gmail, Photos, Contacts, Keep, etc. It’s an ecosystem that works amazingly well, but it clashes with the goal of being a bit more private.

What do you think is the fine line that separates the services you can self-host, without blocking you from experiencing the technologies (in this case, AI features)?

Let me hear your thoughts :)

If you're not aware, the CA/B Forum over the next few years is slowly reducing the length of SSL certs down to 47 days on a schedule. In March of 2027 it will be 200 days, then 100 days in March 2028, and down to 47 days in March 2029. In my home setup earlier this year I previously bought the cheapest wildcard certificate as my setup was not equipped to automate certs that did not support DNS-01. My HA setup is operating on Split Brain DNS with the Nginx Proxy addon. With this combinded with Nabu Casa I was unable to do a proper DNS-01 setup leaving me with a manual SSL cert option.

Earlier this year while browsing in /r/selfhosted I stumbled upon Cert Warden and have been wanting to check it up.

Last night I stayed up for a few hours and was able to fully automate my SSL key management for Home Assistant and I plan on doing this for the apps that I can not place behind Traefik or have their own DNS-01 like Opnsense or my Synology. Cert Warden seems to be the perfect self hosted solution for this. The ability to do post process hooks and per key API keys is where it really shines. Unfortunately it doesn't do a backend HSM or encryption.

I've written about my process below. In this scenario it can be improved by feeding in the key material to remove API keys. The flow of this process is Cert Warden is the ACME Broker and the post processing of Cert Warden SSHs into the Home Assistant SSH container into a non protected mode which in turn executes an update script to call the Cert Warden API.

I'm looking for a self hosted app aimed at ebay/Poshmark resellers. Something to track inventory, sales, purchases, etc.

I checked out inventree, odoo, and a few others but they don't seem like quite the right fit.

I'm currently using Grist, and it does okay, it's just lacking nice charts and forms to enter information.

I would love to able to add integrations with some of the reselling sites but would be happy with something with a UI that's better than grist. Anyoke know of any?

TLDR;
Create website, sell memberships, sell music, sell merch, build email lists and send emails, sell event tickets, linktrees, mobile app, all free and open source, no commissions and you own the data.

• Deployment now possible via a single shell comand
• Added events management and tickets sales
• Merch sales with printful api

This is obviously not a replacement or competition for these platforms, I don't think the trust and the discovery offered by the platforms can be easily replicated. This is majorly to give musicians the chance to own their destiny without moving from platform to platform. Streaming is great, and is not going anywhere, but the better process is to funnel fans from streaming and social platforms to personal space where you control everything.

Still Early stages, but the following features are there

• Create Your website in few clicks
• Sell memberships and post premium content
• Sell your music directly on your website
• Sell merch and event tickets
• Build Email lists and send mass emails to your subscribers
• Create smart links (link trees)
• Personalised Mobile Application (PWA) downloadable by your audience.

It's not a finished product yet, As I still have to set up automated testing to provide stress free updates, but the following features are in already in the pipeline

• Social media management with post scheduling and auto replies
• Live ticketed virtual events right on your website.
• Live streaming and re-streaming to other platforms

I am open to contributions and feedback plus I need to come up with better template designs.

I am thinking of building my own NAS with an old desktop pc I have around. Since it isn't exactly a low-power device, I want it to go into sleep mode if there is no activity for a period of time. The problem is waking it back up.

I want to use a raspberry pi as a proxy between the NAS and any device accessing it. To access a file, an SMB request will be sent to the raspberry pi. If the NAS is online, the proxy will forward the request. If it is in sleep mode, the proxy will send a WoL packet to the NAS, wait a few seconds, and then forward the traffic to the NAS.

Is there a program out there that can do this for me? I really don't want to write a program myself for this.

I'm running more than 15 Docker containers in a single file, and I have just one env with all the variables I need.

From what I’ve read online, it seems everyone creates different files for each software stack that needs to run together. But what’s the point? 🤔

I made a PDF document signing platform with end-to-end encryption (whatsapp type) that uses digital certificates to sign. It is developed with Laravel and Vue 3, you can host it on your own server.

I have a demo available if anyone wants to try it.

I used to use playit.gg to host a minecraft server off my laptop and play with my friends but it had a lot of ping.

I bought a domain recently and have cloudflare as my DNS. My ISP has CG-NAT so no port forwarding. I tried cloudflare ZeroTrust but recently found out I can't use it for TCP traffic unless I have a paid plan.

I don't want my friends to do any setup, just want them to put an address.

Is there anything that can be done? I have my own domain if needed.

I successfully setup Maptiler on my home server and could access it from the Maptiler iPhone app. I wanted to set this up to give me privacy from Google, but I found it quite useless for me, as it didn't give public transport directions or timetables.

It's great if you are used to using paper maps or driving, but I don't do either. I think there are ways to setup API feeds from transport companies, but it's very long winded.

Hey everyone,

Not sure if this is really the place to post but, I havent had luck elsewhere. I've been using Vidora for video embedding in my website, but it's become unreliable. I'm looking for alternatives that work similarly with TMDB/IMDB IDs.

What I'm looking for:

- Service that accepts TMDB or IMDB IDs directly in URLs

- Simple iframe embedding

- Support for both movies and TV shows with seasons/episodes

- Customization options (autoplay, color themes, etc.)

Vidora's format was:

- Movies: `TLD/movie/TMDB_ID`

- TV shows: `TLD/tv/TMDB_ID/SEASON/EPISODE`

With parameters like:

- autoplay=true/false

- colour=HEX_CODE

- backbutton=URL

- autonextepisode=true/false

Question:

1. Are there any direct alternatives to Vidora that use this same approach?
2. Have you found services that work with TMDB/IMDB IDs in the URL?
3. Any suggestions for reliable video embedding services?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello everyone, I am thinking about deploying a private F-Droid repo to act a personal replacement to Google Play. The goal is I somehow add the url/apk for each app I want. I was wondering if there was an easy way to automate fetching updates from a site like apkmirror or apkpure? Or do I need to basically build a little scraping script with beautifulsoup?

Hey everyone,

I have been working on multiple changes/features since the last time I posted here about portracker about a month ago. I was hoping to make these changes sooner but I just became a dad and it has been slightly busier around here.

What it is portracker (quick reminder)

portracker is a dashboard I initially developed for my homelab that automatically discovers services running on your server/s and shows you which ports they are using, providing a real-time map of your network. No more manual port tracking or deployment conflicts

What's New

• Enhanced Security Options: The network_mode: "host" requirement has been removed, and you can now run portracker with a secure, read-only Docker socket proxy for better security.
• Service Renaming: You can now assign custom names to any discovered service from the UI.
• Batch Actions: Select multiple services or ports to perform bulk operations like hiding, adding notes, or renaming.
• Container Details Drawer: Click any container's name to open a slide-out panel with in-depth info like stats, labels, mounts, and environment variables.
• System Port Display Fix: Fixed an issue where system ports were shown with an "unknown" name (requires some extra permissions, see the README).
• Complete Port Visibility: Now all ports are discovered and displayed, including internal-only container ports, not just those published to the host.
• Global Search: The search bar now includes an option to search across all connected servers.
• Backend Caching: Added a caching layer to all data collectors to reduce redundant scans and make the UI faster.

Roadmap

Planning to look into adding some requested features:

• Sort/order servers in the left sidebar
• Add an auth system
• Exploring adding a feature to read containers' labels automatically to make some actions, e.g. custom name, note..

Deployment

The deployment is still simple with Docker. For updated docker-compose.yml examples, including the new secure proxy setup, please see the README.

Hello,

I've seen it here several times but cannot find it again, or not sure what to pick.
My homelab consists of 15ish services... I have 3x Proxmox nodes in cluster.

Most of them are CT-s with dockers (one docker per CT)
And some of the VM-s.

What is best way to monitor it from one place? Version, upgrades...

Thanks!

Self hosted people, I greet you. Thank you for taking the time. I Need to move my data from Synology to another platform and I came across Unraid (long time ago but never took a dive) and the Jonsbo N5 case which seems to be just a perfect combo in matters of flexibility and future proofing. Very quick overview of the state of play: For the past five years I am using a DS918+ 4 bay keeping the data and running some dockers while the plex server was moved not so long ago to an an Optiplex 5090 with an Arc A310. Synology sucks with their HDD restriction and neither can I expand my storage nor do I want to stay in their ecosystem. I love the arc though and the idea is to merge it all into one case with the option to upgrade (Jonsbo takes ATX mainboards and I can fit 12 HDDs in there but it's quite pricey)

After some research I came up with a list of hardware attached at the end of this post if anyone wants to take a look and I will appreciate any comment on that setup. I guess the tasks are pretty clear by looking at it; media, some dockers (hopefully more in the future) and a grwoing photo collection (~100k pics mostly raw - immich I hope?). All operated by Unraid because I want the flexibility of various drive sizes while maintaining Raid 6/SHR2 like parity. I hope to get some feedback that is mainly software related. I wonder if I will be, without linux knowledge, able to do the following (most of it is dangerous "I think I got the idea" knowledge but I really want to do it and learn):

• Secure the Server from attacks (need Plex and Immich remotely accessible - port forwarding urgh I know, Reverse Proxy possible for both and only 443 I've read? On my Synology I set the firewall to only allow logins from green lit countries etc which made me feel better and limited the failed login attempts dramatically.)

• I have a custom domain for my synology but I believe it won't be needed anymore since I won't use their software or UI anymore right?

• Need to maintain the Server remotely as I travel a lot abroad (just a VPN tunnel right?)

• Need to connect the server to a SFTP Server that I'm renting, through a VPN (have Proton subsription but need split tunnel to exclude Plex)

More will come up I am sure and if I forgot anything important I'll be grateful to get a hint from you guys.

I am not familiar with Linux and when I installed it last time on the Optiplex I failed and gave up with the command lines. Will I even be able to handle Unraid? I'm willing to learn and I have read that spaceinvader one does great tutorials.

Thank you for reading and your input.

I got tired of relying on Zoom, Meet, and Teams — bloated UIs, unclear privacy policies, and monthly costs for features I rarely used. So I decided to scratch my own itch and built MiroTalk, a self-hosted WebRTC suite.

It’s lightweight, runs in the browser (no installs), and can be hosted or modified to fit your own brand. I split it into modules depending on use case:

• P2P – Peer-to-peer calls → github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalk
• SFU – Group meetings → github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalksfu
• C2C – Simple cam-to-cam → github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalkc2c
• BRO – Broadcasting → github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalkbro
• WEB – Scheduler & dashboard → github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalkwebrtc
• CME – Click-to-call → github.com/miroslavpejic85/call-me

All projects are open-source and released under the AGPLv3 license.

About + demos are here if you’re curious: https://docs.mirotalk.com/about

I wanted to share because many people here run their own comms stacks (Matrix, Jitsi, etc.), and I’d love to hear how this compares or if you see gaps worth improving.

👉 If you self-host video, what’s your biggest pain point with existing tools?

I've been using Mihon and I'm sure it's fine but my old phones kept bugging out so I'm wondering how Kavita Reader works on an Android phone.

I have emails going back to 2000 in my Thunderbird profile. Yes, I'm a data hoarder but I do want to keep it.

I would like to remove all the old email from my laptop though.

Is there an application I can run on my server that I can import all the email into and allow me to log in and search/read the messages? I'm guessing just a web based email client would do it but I'm not sure if that's the best way.

So. I'm trying to dive into the world of truly self hosting my stuff and getting away from things like Plex despite having a lifetime pass.

I'm tempted to go with tailscale just to make my life easier especially when less tech inclined people in my life want access but then I would be relying on their relays. If I was to go the manual route with something like wiregaurd how likely would I be to introduce security holes into my network as a newb?

Hello everyone, I am searching for a docker for my Synology to access my own selfhosted world map with my photos, tracks, 360° and so on where I can easy watch where I have been before. My thought would be like this:

• When I start a docker over reverse proxy I can see a world map (openstreetmaps or google)

• I can access directly from my synology to the shared folders where the data is located.

• I can import .jpg/.png, mp4, avi, 360° photos from Insta X4, .gpx, Panorama pictures

• I can see on the map where I was (like in Google Maps)

• Timeline, friendly UI and web authorization

I thought about dawarich with immich integration but I would like to have it just in one. I also heard about Headaway but I don't know exactly what it is.

Any ideas from your side? 😊

Kind regards!
