Thank you very much for the technical insight. It makes clear why it is how it is and it is good to see that you can host Activitypub services on Subdomains… so the issue I thought that exists is not that big of an issue anymore. Also I love the discussion under your post, very interesting!

Thanks also to everyone else who replied!

Yarr matey! Us fossers and selfhosters gotta stay togetharrr :-) (Thanks for your replay, made my day, Haha!) :-)

Back on my PC and a few more words about https://davideshay.github.io/groceries/ (Specifically Clementines).

Why do we use it and why do we think it is the best?

• You have list groups under which you have your stores that fit to your list groups (like food, gardening…). Items you create belong to a list group and can be shown in various lists (shops) under this group. Did not get your favourite Cheese in Shop A? Item will stay on the list for Shop B. Found it in Shop A already? The item is gone on the list for Shop B.
• For each list, you can create aisles and sort them like they are in that particular shop. This makes it possible to run through the shop in one line and get everything I need in the quickest time possible. No distractions or backtracking.
• It has real-time sync. We both go shopping in 2 shops for the same lists? Items get ticked off in real-time. Partner puts something on the list? I see it immediately.
• It has offline functionality. No cell reception in the shop? You shop offline. Cell reception back? It syncs automatically.
• It has a native Android app and a responsive Web UI, whatever fits to you. And both support offline usage.
• You can add pictures to items. Partner wants THAT particular cheese and then you stand in front of the 1km long cheese shelf and have no idea how that thing looks? Just add a picture to an item, problem fixed.
• You ticked off an item by accident from the list and you have no idea what it was? Ticked off items stay on the list ticked off and you can bring them easily back. You are done with shopping? You can then fully clear the list of all ticked off items if you want to clean it up.

The only downside is: It is a bit difficult to set up, but this is true for all services that use CouchDB as a database I ever set up. But it is worth it. This solution is super stable and the live sync was super usefull so many times.

We use it for more than just shopping now. It also works great for a packing list when you go on vacation for example or basically everything else you need to “tick off a list”.

I think I tried all of them. My partner and me are using Specifically Clementines and never looked back. It is like someone found out what we want and made a solution. Can weite more when I am on my PC later.

Sure, ESXi would have been interesting. I thought about that, but I did not test it because it is not interesting to me anymore from a business perspective. And I am not keen of using it in my Homelab, so I left that out and use that time to do something relaxing. It’s my holiday right now :-)

Oooh, that explains it! I wondered what is going on. Thank you very much. And thank you for working on XCP-ng, it is a fantastic platform :-)

A few releases ago they made massive improvements in Speed. I use NC since the Split from OwnCloud and that performance Upgrade recently was truly impressive.

PostgreSQL Updates AFAIK require manual Backup / Restore of the Database. But better look that up. I think the last one I did was:

1. Stop the Application Containers (here the Immich ones, so only PostgreSQL runs)
2. Backup the Database
3. Stop the PostgreSQL Container
4. Change to the new PostgreSQL Version
5. Start the PostgreSQL Container
6. Restore the Database
7. Start the Application Containers

As I said, better look it up first, this is just how I remember the process (but not the backup / restore commands).

Sounds like a good Chili aftermath.

On mobile atm. Look for pi-hole + unbound. Uses root DNS. Might take a tiny bit longer to resolve at first, but as long as root DNS is uncensored it should be the way to go.

I posted it yesterday, but just in case we are facing some Fediverse cross-instance sync issue, here is what I posted. Sorry again if this is not for you then :-( Quote: I am very sorry, as I have just realized that it is only available in a single Language: German. I fear the chances are pretty low that it is of use for you, but maybe for the other German around here in the Fediverse… https://www.willuhn.de

Thank you very much! Little did I know! I will look for alternatives now… MeshCentral is the next on my list I guess.

I use Hibiscus for all my banking needs.Makes a direct connection to my bank. Will get you the link if there is interest when I am back home.

What is your issue with Rustdesk? I would understand if you mention Teamviewer, which runs through 3rd party servers, but Rustdesk? Is the client phoning home despite self-hosting or what do you mean? I am seriously interested.

On the other hand, I would not use RDP over the Internet without a VPN or at least an RDP Gateway in between both parties.
