Tailscale: the marvellous tool that became indispensable to my tech life in c/main@selfhosted.forum

[–] Stetsed@alien.top 2 points 10 months ago

Honestly I do love tailscale, but every time when I start using it I am just like... meh. I don't need a bunch of interconnected as I have 1 homelab, and for other stuff like my backup system it goes over v6 so there is no NAT to speak off(just a firewall). And for any remote devices I just use plain wireguard including my always on VPN on my devices.

However I will continue to recommend Tailscale to people who are new to selfhosting and don't want to deal with all the networking bullshit, and hey if you want to not be reliant on the tailscale control server host headscale.

Plex crossed a line with "Your week in review" emails today. in c/main@selfhosted.forum

I also recently installed it on Tizen(Samsung's OS) and using the docker container(https://github.com/babagreensheep/jellyfin-tizen-docker) it was stupidly easy and the hardest part was enabling developer mode.

Selfhosted DocuSign alternative in c/main@selfhosted.forum

[–] Stetsed@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So the only thing I will say is that the problem with a "DocuSign" alternative is that docusign is more accepted within the proffesional community and when docusign says something was signed it's trusted. In this case what is to say you don't modify the data or something similar, I know you could send out a confirmation e-mail or whatever but you get my point.

But ofcourse I will always take more apps that can be selfhosted :D

"E-Mail" Notifications with delivery via ntfy.sh in c/main@selfhosted.forum

[–] Stetsed@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Well... answer is I didn't know NTFY had a built in SMTP server. I just used this combo cuz before I used it to send my notifications to discord which mailrise makes easy. I will say that mailrise does let you more granulary define what e-mails will be sent to what topic while NTFY just uses the recieving address as the topic which might not be wanted.(I can for example define stetsed@* which means it doesn't matter if I use one of my other domains, or father@* which means he could use whatever domain he would want).

"E-Mail" Notifications with delivery via ntfy.sh (alien.top)

Hey everybody, recently I was looking for a way to get notifications from various apps including proxmox etc. So the problem I ran into is that these apps sometimes only supported e-mail which I don't like as I just don't want to deal with it, and I also want my users to be able to reset there own passwords etc.

So I found a sort of hacky workaround which involves using mailrise(which is a SMTP gateway that redirects the e-mails to a diffrent platform), and then deliver it to an ntfy.sh topic which is then selfhosted, but still with push notifications due to the nifty work by the ntfy.sh creator. This let's me get push notifications on my device while being nearly completley selfhosted, and I have started using this for my SSO(Zitadel), my Jellyseerr instance and a few other things.

And the cool thing is I can even have it work for multiple users, by saying "All e-mails going to example1@example.com go to the topic example1, while foo2@example.com goes to the topic foo2" and then by using the login system inside of ntfy.sh I can give each of my users a login that can acces there own topic and get notifications that way.

I have documented it on my blog which takes both the mailrise and ntfy.sh docker containers and gives the config files you need. It will by default let anybody write to a topic so you don't need to authenticate mailrise, but you can change this to avoid spam. Incase there are any questions feel free to leave them in the comments, and sorry for the guide being shorter and less detailed than others as it was mostly ment for my internal docs but I thought it might be handy for others.
