The ability to use a custom search engine (searXNG) and the accessibility/UI features.

This has been my go-to on GrapheneOS. Glad to see it get some notice.

You could try learning podman as an intermediate tool. I recommend it for the user-controlled systemd services. There are so many systemd commands to fine tune your containers.

That’s great to hear you’ve made it into a business. I’d been thinking of creating a “biz in a box” side hustle for small businesses. I’m not very business-savvy, though.

I just have it in a pod with the companion app. They auto update and auto restart at night. I’ve also kept my subscriptions fairly low. Most of the time, that’s all I need.

I’ve been selfhosting for about 4 years now. I wanted to break away from services like Google and find tools I could control on my own hardware.

I went from bare-metal Jellyfin and Nextcloud on my NAS to running the NAS with an NFS share and a Raspberry Pi as a pod orchestrator through quadlets. That little sucker is running pods for:

• media (audiobookshelf, kavita, Jellyfin)
• Immich
• Invidious
• Navidrome
• Peertube
• SearXNG
• Servarr suite (flareresolverr/jackett/prowlarr, gluetun/qbittorrent, jellyseerr, lazylibrarian, lidarr, mylar3, radarr, sonarr)

It’s also running instances of:

• mumble
• nginx-proxy-manager
• sftpgo
• syncthing

I’ve only opened a few services for family usage, but everything else is VPN-accessible.

Also, no more Nextcloud. Syncthing balances everything out, and I can use sftpgo’s webdav option to host my own seedvault backups. Now Google is collecting dust.

Fish mate inside of a sea cucumber’s anus.

I knew this was a shit timeline, but not “Street Trash IRL” bad.

Edit: Street Trash is a movie where a mysterious liquor starts “dissolving” the homeless when they drink it.
