Gitlab CI/CD pipelines are my go-to tool. At work we self host an instance, for personal projects I use gitlab.com.

That is true for a single person - but in a multiple person household that would mean that everyone needs to carry a copy of their with them. So this mechanism is no replacement for a solid backup of the server somewhere else…

The Bitwarden family plan has been one of the best expenses (if you want to call it that, because it really isn’t that expensive) in our family.

The traffic is really suspicious. Have you by any chance a health or heartbeat endpoint which provides continuous output? That would explain why so little hits cause so much traffic.

The community edition allows me to have multiple sites, multiple users and is way easier to set up. If I ever need additional features like funnels I would need a subscription for both - Plausible is less expensive.

Just a word of warning for everyone: The free self hosted version is heavily limited. I will stick with Plausible which may be simpler but also doesn’t want to push me into a subscription.

Everyone has experienced an AWS / Google Cloud / Azure outage or has had a service - you are happy to use switching to (more expensive) subscription service. That’s two things that are not going to happen to self-hosters (except the outage thing, but you can actually do something about it when it happens).

You could use automated testing tools to do the work for you. You define your requirements as individual tests and every input is tested separately giving you a report which tests failed and which succeeded.

Is your server running on UTC? Depending on your location midnight UTC could also be 8 AM and it could be a user with a very regular morning schedule.

Only you can find out which machine is sending this request…

I just spun an instance up using the docker compose file. I did disable the exposed ports for all the services except reitti itself. Is there a specific reason you keep them exposed?

The mail address is not the issue. You can enter any address you want there if you don’t care about Let’s Encrypt being able to reach you in case of problems (they won’t).

Don’t be afraid of the logs. You don’t have to read or understand every line of them. You have an issue with your certificate? Search for certificate and read the lines above and below to get clues what might have gone wrong.

For me it was KitchenOwl. It’s shopping list works and looks similar to Bring, which we had used before and made the transition for my wife easier.

I also think it may be the browser not using the DNS provided by the router. This is often called Safe Browsing or Secure DNS in browser settings.

While almost everyone here seems to hate AI (maybe for the wrong reason, but who am I to judge) I like to have AI as it is able to provide answers a simple search engine cannot.

What I don’t see is hosting something like this myself. The managing of source and indexing them would take too much of my, my server’s and the web servers to be indexed energy (maybe I am wrong).

There are already good solutions (OpenWebUI with Ollama) that can be tweaked to almost do what you’re describing and the AI models get better every month, so I don’t think a custom AI search engine could keep up with it.

For a general guide on how to make ssh more secure I stick to https://www.sshaudit.com/

You can check your config and they also provide step by step guides for several distros…

As far as I know that’s not possible for WhatsApp.

That show is equal parts content and advertising. That is a bit too much for me…

That’s the way to do it. The problem is that the request originates from the browser of you website visitor. You need to open a path for them to you media server. Nginx and it’s reverse proxy functionality is exactly what you need for that.
