No.

Always remember: RAID is not a backup.

Having only one backup and the server dying means you now have no backup, therefore the 3-2-1 scheme for backups is worth looking into.

That depends a lot on what you’re hosting resp. if the mobile apps are using Google’s/Apple’s messaging/notification services.

Not sure if it makes things easier than your current setup, but take a look at Mediathekwebview.de

You can use -f /path/to/compose.yaml to call it from wherever you like.

The official NC docker container uses the “www-data” internally to run the services. This will get important if you ever want to run tasks via “docker compose exec”.

Have a look at kimai.org

The have a self-hosted option and apps (didn’t test those though).

Which means it’s likely a US-focussed scenario.

That was the first one I tried. Sounded fantastic in theory, didn’t work out for shit. For some reason the sensor dropped out constantly. The USB PSU bottom was nice though, no batteries to change.

You can use quite a number of “underlying” distributions, it mainly depends on what you like (Arch-based ones, Debian-based ones, etc).

As a desktop environment, have a look at XFCE or LXDE.

What are the main advantages to plex?

AFAIK they offer more apps resp. apps for more platforms. Apart from that, nothing really. Maybe a little more idiot-proof.

Debian as a server base OS is well-tested and (for me) ultra reliably stable.

Same here. No idea about themes, but it works really well.

FreshRSS, + Readably on Android. Has worked well for me for years.

Edited the main post. Seems like there was an issue with “pending” subscriptions. Maybe in combination with being on 0.17.4

Overall it was fine, took a moment to find the proper Traefik settings, but after that it ran basically fine. It’s just too “unstable” for me at the moment from a development standpoint, moving too rapidly. Maybe I’ll do another one once it has matured and slowed down a bit.

That would have been plan C, yes. But it’s not a proper solution, it’s a hacky workaround which puts unneccessary load on the federating instances.

I did. Unsubscribed, then purged from the local DB. I’ll work through the logs, see what the other instances are trying to push.

Yes, mineral content is usually the biggest factor for taste. But it is still perfectly safe to drink straight from the tap.

German here. Yes, constantly. The only reason to not do it would be taste (personal preference) or sometimes due to pollutants entering the system, which is explicitly communicated by the city.
