Then I would suggest you to take a look at Reverse Proxies, which are programs that let you publicly expose different services hosted on the same computer under different (sub)domains.
The easiest to start with (and also probably the one that better fits your needs) afaik is NGINX Proxy Manager, which can be set up really easily using docker, and you can find plenty of tutorials online (here is one I watched when I was starting to look into docker and selfhosting, it’s a bit old but should still be valid).
If after having set up that you will to thinker around it a little bit and dive a bit deeper, there’s also Traefik which is pretty cool and also has a lot of materials to learn online.
I don’t remember if the video I linked mention it or not, but to use a reverse proxy to expose your services on the web you will first need to set up a dynamic dns (probably the easiest way is to use Cloudflare) or to ask your ISP for a static IP, then go into your routers settings and find the Port Forwarding section where you should tell your routers to send all the incoming traffic from ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) to the local IP of your server. And then you should be ready to use spin up Nginx Proxy Manager or Traefik on your server.
(idk if I was clear or not but I swear it’s easier that how it seems ahah)
Is immich the only service you want to expose? And did you installed it using docker or directly on your system?
The closest thing to a Discord server Matrix-wise are Spaces, which basically are groups of Rooms that people can join by invite (and maybe by link? But not sure)
I see in Matrix as a protocol great potential but it needs some more projects that will focus on the different aspects of communication.
Element cannot aim to be both a WhatsApp replacement, a Slack replacement and a Discord replacement, but for sure 3 different alternatives for those services can be built all using the Matrix protocol
This!
Discord was great and I’m pretty sure that some projects will take its place (like Revolt maybe that others are mentioning) but PLEASE FOSS PROJECT JUST USE AN INDEXABLE FORUM like Discourse, so that people don’t have to signup and enter a server for each project they use!
I guess that with discord (and many other non-foss free projects) the problem is that they start as free and then wanted to start to make money at a later stage.
For-profit software and companies are not necessarily bad, but they are bad when they take their existing software and start radically changing it for the sake of making more money.
If for example discord always had some features just for Nitro users and others for everyone, and those features (and the nitro price) would have always stayed the same it would have been much better
It can be a bit overkill for your use case if you only need to stream the USB media on your tv, but take a look at Jellyfin, it’s a program you can install on any PC and as long as this is up and running on the same network you can access your media on that PC (in your case with the USB plugged in) from any other device (TV, other PCs, Tablets, smartphones)
Still haven’t looked into podman properly, but docker is much easier to learn because as you said there’s a lot more material available online. I’d say start with Docker, and if in the future you will find out podman better fits your needs you can always switch (they should not be that different)
Matrix is a communication protocol, such as IMAP+SMTP communication protocols that are behind emails. This means that the “communication stack” when you use Matrix, as well as when you use emails, can be summarized in 3 parts:
I haven’t read the article properly yet, but from what I’ve understand for now it seems Commune.sh aims to build a new client for Matrix that reproduces the layout and features of Discord, while at the same time being based on an open communication protocol and therefore having all its related benefits.
Seems pretty promising, I’m gonna keep an eye of it 👀
Ahah dw, it happened to me as well and to be fair the OCI UI for opening ports is not the most intuitive piece of software I’ve seen…
Currently using Infomaniak.com and I’m really liking it. They are a bit pricy compared to other registrars but
Not an exper either, but I’ve used OCI Free Tier for a while and most of the times I was encountering issues they were related either to the fact it was ARM and not x86_64 (most tutorials and guides are not written with ARM CPUs in mind) or to the sort of Firewall built in the Oracle Cloud Platform. Have you already checked if the ports required for the services not working are opened correctly?
I am a Firefox user both on desktop and on my android phone. And not only to support Mozilla in keeping the browser engine competition alive, but also because of some really good features that alternatives are missing (respectively Multi-Account containers on desktop and extensions on Android).
On my iPad, though, I tried using Firefox (even just to have bookmarks and history synced) but it’s really just a reskin of Safari with worse integration with the system and less features. Therefore I moved back to safari.
Why am I telling this? Because for any non tech-savvy user, if their first experience with FF is on their iPhone / iPad (with the WebKit version), they will probably not like it, and eventually associate in their mind “Firefox = bad browser”, preventing them to give it a try on their desktop. So, from a certain point of view, maybe getting rid of the WebKit version would help Mozilla gather some more users on the other platforms in the long term…
Well, to be fair the EU can’t force Apple to change outside of its territories, and it makes sense that Apple prefers to maintain the status-quo untill other countries will follow EU example with similar regulations.
I can see Mozilla’s point there, but this scenario, even it it’s not optimal, still seems me a better one compared to the All-WebKit-Everywhere one. If Mozilla struggles to maintain two versions of Firefox for iOS, I’d say they can drop the useless WebKit version and just maintain the real version for EU only market (untill other markets will follow).
How many people are currently choosing FF in favour of Safari on iOS after all?
Hard to disagree with that… the flawless integration of every piece in Apple’s “ecosystem” is hard to reproduce (even if all those features can be achieved as you were saying, it wouldn’t be “as flawless”) Just maybe pair it with an Ad and Tracker blocker extension like AdGuard
I think there are some better alternatives out there such as Firefox + uBlock Origin extension, Brave, Vivaldi (maybe Arc? Haven’t tried it yet) that gives you some extra features that are missing in safari (for example Multi-account containers, vertical tabs, split tabs,… just to mention the ones I enjoy the most)
But if you just want a browser that works from a normal usage I don’t see nothing wrong in using Safari.
+it uses an engine different from Blink (aka Chromium) which keeps a little bit of variety in the browser engine market. So while using Safari you’re also doing something good for the internet imho
EDIT: I just realized that ddclient (that I was already considering to set up ddns with cloudflare) also supports Infomaniak directly! (I don’t know how before making this post I didn’t saw it 😅) So I’ll probably go for that way in order to cut out Cloudflare from the equation and rely on one external company less. Thank you :)
I think that this could be the cleanest solution, could you share the curl command you used to interact with the API? (Of course replacing your actual access token with ** etc.)
I’ve seen it mentioned in a bunch of videos and articles, but I didn’t like the idea of Cloudflare scanning all the stuff that is transferred from and to my server. If I opt just for their DNS service and update it through the API they can’t do that, right?
Anyone willing to summarize those mistakes here, for those who can’t watch the video rn?
