I am trying to increase the upload limit on my matrix server. I would like to push it to 500MB, but it keeps failing the upload past ~180MB. There is very little information about the failure, the client just says “Unkown error”, nginx says “error 499”, which means the client disconnected to quickly. Additionally, trying to recreate the failure with curl just results in a success, so the issue seems to be with the client. I tried with element-web, element desktop, element x and cinny and they all have this issue. I run a continuwuity server on a Raspberry Pi 4B, behind two nginx reverse proxies and a rathole tunnel. Continuwuity, and the two reverse proxies run inside docker compose projects. Here is my architecture : __ .( ). (`Cloud ) `-----` | V +- Outside server -+ | +---------+ | | | rathole | | | +---------+ | +--------|---------+ | +- Home network ---|-------------------------+ | +- RasPi --------|-----------------------+ | | | V | | | | +- tunnel docker -+ | | | | | +---------+ | | | | | | | nginx 1 | | | | | | | +---------+ | | | | | +-----|-|---------+ | | | | | | | | | | | +- other services -->... | | | | | | | | | V | | | | +- matrix docker --+ | | | | | +---------+ | | | | | | | nginx 2 | | | | | | | +---------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------V-------+ | | | | | | | Continuwuity | | | | | | | +--------------+ | | | | | +------------------+ | | | +----------------------------------------+ | +--------------------------------------------+ Of course, I made sure to increase the upload limit in Continuwuity : max_request_size = 500000000 And in both nginx instances : client_max_body_size 500M; From what I can gather from other issues on the internet, it seems it could be related to timeout errors. Although they all seem to be talking about 2-8Gb files, I am probably running much weaker hardware than they do, so it checks out. I tried setting the following values in both nginx instances : location / { proxy_connect_timeout 600; proxy_send_timeout 600; proxy_read_timeout 600; send_timeout 600; proxy_next_upstream off; proxy_buffering off; proxy_pass ...; } And setting timeout values in Continuwuity : client_receive_timeout = 75 client_request_timeout = 180 client_response_timeout = 120 client_shutdown_timeout = 10 Since that didn’t have any effect, I bumped them by 20x and 40x respectively : location / { proxy_connect_timeout 18000; proxy_send_timeout 18000; proxy_read_timeout 18000; send_timeout 18000; proxy_next_upstream off; proxy_buffering off; proxy_pass ...; } client_receive_timeout = 3000 client_request_timeout = 7200 client_response_timeout = 4800 client_shutdown_timeout = 400 But that did not have any effect. I also looked at modifying element-web’s settings, but there doesn’t seem to be anything related to timeouts. I also saw that encrypted vs. unencrypted rooms might have an effect, but I got ~190MB max in encrypted rooms and ~180MB in unencrypted rooms. Finally, I tried using curl : curl -X POST https://server.domain/_matrix/media/v3/upload -H "Authorization: Bearer " -H "Content-Type application/octet-stream" --data @200mb.file # success # returns a mxc:// url curl -X POST https://server.domain/_matrix/client/v1/media/download/server.name/file_id -H "Authorization: Bearer " -o 200mb_copy.file # See that the two files are identical I am at a loss. What can I do to solve this issue? EDIT 1: I did some tests and I can post 1GB files both inside and outside the pi, but it still doesn’t work for the web client.

Hi all, my Unifi Doorbell just died after only 4 years of service. I’ve been pretty disheartened with them lately, other products haven’t lived up to the company’s promise. So I’m not looking to replace my networking stack yet, but I am looking for a doorbell camera. I only have the Unifi machine, but I also have an extensive docker/kubernetes stack, and mostly I want to use it with Home Assistant. Any recommendations? Open to software, hardware, you name it. I have a few other Unifi cameras too, if they could be brought into the fold while I slowly migrate, I’d be interested. Thanks!

I recently found out that you can get up to 3 free .eu.cc domain from GNAME, which also claims that you can renew for free when its within 90 days of expiring. So I got one to check it out. Obviously, the next step is making one of my local machines act as the target destination for any queries to the address, so it becomes accessible for the wider web. I’m not entirely sure, however, what to configure on GNAME (there’s the option to setup A and AAAA records, which I suppose I should just point to my IP, but there’s also CNAME, TXT, NS, SRV and what configurations/programs my local server (rPi 3) needs to have running besides a webserver (Apache2 or Nginx) My intent is to have it run a single-user fediverse server, possibly friendica, as it seems to have the best support for seeing all sorts of APub posts. If that proves too heavy for my old pi, I’ll try one of the lightweight APub alternatives I know I’ll also need to do some configurations on my router, so I’d appreciate help on this, too.

There are so many options to get started with self hosting that I feel myself stuck in the “paralysis of choice”. For a novice, does anyone have a good resource for the equivalent of good/better/best paths that cover the “basics” (In my mind this is hosting images, music, video, connected home controls, search and email)? Thinking something like first try path A, if you feel comfortable and your HW can handle A, then try path B, etc. I guess a it of a tutorial mode feeling where you get exposed to key boxing blocks initially and then you are released into the large open world on your own. I know the advantage of this movement is the choice and the well distributed variety, but just feels hard to start. I have an old laptop, an SFF workstation and a NAS to play with. Any suggestions? Edit: Thank you all for a very generous response. I knew this was a tough ask from the start because, by design, this area is vast and constantly evolving. A lot of great starting points here that I’m now considering.

At 10.06.2026 openmediavault 7 will become EOL because Debian 12 estimates EOL (end-of-life) for the same time. This means no security/bugfix updates will be released anymore. Please upgrade to openmediavault 8 to be up-to-date. 2026-06-10 for people using a not insane date format. Already updated some of my omv installs, went without a hassle. Check if your plugins are supported, some of them were removed.

Say ww3 kicks off and power goes off - how are you keeping your servers up? Solar panels and batteries? What if there’s a biblical flood and you dont have the means to build an arc? All your servers are destroyed beyond repair? What if you heard the Feds are coming to cart you and your servers away cos they suspect you of bad mouthing Emperor Tromp? (you’re on the run or subject to months of torture and yeah, you’re never getting your kit back) What if theres a war and Luxembourg (you know, the enemy) let’s of an EMP pulse that kills your servers and all the infrastructure (power, internet…). How do you access all those cherished pics on Immich? I’m not suggesting any of this will/can happen, its all just for lols, but have you made any contingency plans? Big binders full of printouts, bug-out bags, those flower-type solar things that track the sun, Faraday cages…

Hello everyone, I want to create a Tailscale account to access my Jellyfin server from outside my home, but I’m already stuck at the first step: to create an account, you need either a GAFAM account or OIDC. I don’t have any personal accounts with GAFAM because of Lemmy’s bad influence. My emails are on Tuta. I don’t want to overcomplicate things as I’m a noob, but after spending 30 minutes researching OIDC, I still don’t know where to start… I don’t work in IT (at all). Is it better to just give up and create a throwaway account with a GAFAM platform, or is there a simple way to do this with OIDC? If so, can anyone point me the way? Is there a free reliable OIDC provider? Will that make things complicated afterward with tail scale? For more context: I turned my old gaming PC into a media center running Fedora and a Jellyfin server that I access locally. I was surprised by how relatively simple it all was, especially getting Jellyfin to work locally. Obviously, I wanted to use Tailscale to connect to Jellyfin remotely, but I never had time to look into it. I was told this morning that I’m going to undergo major surgery with a significant recovery period ahead, so suddenly this has become urgent…

cross-posted from: discuss.online/post/40941829 Details at twtxt.dev and elsewhere. This has been in development since 2016. All you do is create a txt file in www or html and include info like # nick = username # url = https://example.com/posts.txt # avatar = https://example.com/avatar.png # description = Describe this to then begin posting using a command like like echo -e "$(date -u +‘%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ’)\tHello to all of you out there! >> posts.txt There are various registries and places you can submit your user via curl to become more discoverable by others. Also tons of spin-offs that add support for fancier markdown and such, but haven’t tried those yet.

Howdy! Sorry if this is a supid question. I’ve been trying to get this working for like 5 days and I’ve been researching and reading docs, but I’m just not getting it. I’m fairly new to selfhosing and I’m trying to set up Jellyfin remote access on my NAS. My NAS is a QNAP product running QTS (which I absolutely hate). QTS uses their own weird version of Docker. When I start Caddy with a docker compose file, I get an error that port 443 is in use and the container can’t be started. If I create a container in the Container Station app directly from the Docker Image, it starts up fine. Container Station handles environment variables in a dumb way so I am having trouble specifying the Caddyfile location when I do it that way. Does anyone know why it works fine in that way but not the other? Both use port 443 but when I do it in a docker compose file, it says the port is in use but when I do it the other way, it doesn’t and starts fine. Note: I know you can do this with Tailscale also, but I want to use my custom domain to make it easier for sharing in the future.

Hello everyone, I have been working on this project for quite some time, and I have decided to open source it. I originally started building Reloops because I wanted something that provided more value than a traditional file review process. Reloops is an open-source creative asset workspace / DAM for teams and AI agents. It helps teams organize creative assets, generate AI descriptions and tags, manage versions, collect approvals, share collections, and let agents work inside the media library. Core Functionality Multiple workspaces with branding support Team member invites and collaboration Branded asset collections Metadata-powered search across the entire workspace Automatic metadata generation during file upload Folders and nested folders AI-generated tags and descriptions Client review and approval workflows Annotations and commenting for PDFs, videos, images, and website screenshots Login-free guest reviews Kanban-style project workflows Side-by-side version comparison for different files In-app and email notifications for file uploads, mentions, and when AI-generated tags and descriptions are ready API keys for agents to find assets, upload/download files, create share links, and pick up assigned work Customizable workflows for OpenClaw and other AI integrations such as n8n Mobile device and social media previews for short-form videos Reloops is an open-source alternative to Frame .io, Bynder, Canto, Brandfolder, Dropbox Replay, Ziflow, Filestage, Google Drive, Airtable**, and internal DAM tools. I have also added Docker installation support. Links GitHub: https://github.com/Reloops-App/reloops Author: https://github.com/bhatiadheeraj

Looking for a team collaboration project management solution, basically: scrum project management with kanban (something like jira but probably simpler will do) communication connected to project management (something like slack) file repository (like a nextcloud drive) calendar with caldav. Data sovereignty and libre software is a must. At first we thought nextcloud would do all this, and it does but the kanban app (deck) is kinda limiting (only 3 hierarchy levels and no swimlanes) So we can connect nextcloud with openproject but as openproject has some features only in enterprise plan, was wondering for other solutions… Could be one integrated solution or maybe better following UNIX philosophy and having separate small pieces of software that do their work fine and can connect via API/Webhooks? Like a good kanban (wekan, vikunja?) Connected to a matrix server (continuwity?) And maybe also connected to nextcloud or other online collaborative drive? Any ideas welcome! Thanks!! !selfhost@lemmy.ml !degoogle@lemmy.ml !degoogle@lemmy.world !selfhosted@lemmy.world !selfhosting@slrpnk.net

I give up. I tried left and right to try to install an email server so I could degoogle my life. But therechnical barrier is thick and Google keeps adding more to it. Forget it. I can’t even get thru the installation process much less trying to get my shit off Google. I figure, I don’t actually have any need for my email addresses. Just like my phone number. I never call anyone. I’m going to discourage my kids from using email at all. I’ll remind everyone I know that I don’t use email at every opportunity I get just like I remind people to not call me and that my phone number is not available. Between spammers and Google, I just don’t need this headache in my life. My mom is much less technically savvy than the average pet. So Google will just siphon her data and when the megabits are full then you just delete the old stuff. You don’t need it. No one will spend their life reading your emails when you’re gone or watching your videos or listening to your recordings or viewing your photos. There’s no need to worry about just deleting the pile of shit you’ve accumulated. I’m this done.
