I am Groot.

Just FYI, Homepage has ping functionality to check if your services are up. siteMonitor

Apps that need to send emails or receive emails.

Love the lifetime deal. 10GB across any number of accounts. That’s what I’ve got.

I only use it for automations (both send and receive); I’m on Proton for regular mail. They’ve got a few different web interfaces, so I think you can get spouse approval. Not sure on local storage (outside of POP/IMAP).

I can highly recommend MXroute. Just works. Great for integrations.

Use DNS validation

I… don’t actually know. I wouldn’t think that would be necessary (at least manually).

It transfers across other peers; you don’t have to have a direct connection to the recipient, just an eventual connection to them.

Docker is your friend. :)

Try Guacamole.

I assume you don’t have a TV or a spouse?

I will say, I really want someone* to make a Jellyfin aggregator so you can use multiple servers at once.

*Not me.

100% my experience as well. The external authentication requirement is what made my choose Jellyfin a couple years ago.

I was forcing VPN for a couple years but I’ve just recently started allowlisting client IPs instead. Not as good but definitely easier.

I love Stirling PDF. I use it probably once a quarter on average. But it’s always there, ready to be useful.

I’ve been making people use VPN, but that’s been a huge barrier to entry. I’m in the process of switching to IP allow list in traefik.

Looks like you should be able to do so:

I just get alerts over telegram. They’re just regular notifications, but you could probably set specific notification behavior and sounds for the app?

Edit: Though that’s not a selfhosted solution. Sometimes it’s a decision between reliability and selfhosted. e.g., I went back to Tailscale from Headscale when I lost connectivity through Headscale and couldn’t figure out how to get it back.

Thank you for posting this! I’ve been increasing the memory for my VM over and over and it was using 24GB RAM + 4GB swap. Hopefully this will let me reclaim some.
