When VMWare Horizon Client (which I need for work) supports it

I use calibre to manage my collection. Calibre creates a folder per author and a sub-folder per book. I also have separate Calibre libraries for fiction, non-fiction and comics.

I'm running Onyx (sorry... Fedora Budgie Atomic) on my Thinkpad and love it. Last night I decided to give Sway a shot and, when I was done with that, rolled back to Budgie without any of the cruft of installing additional DE's alongside each other.

@giddy@aussie.zone avatar

Yeah I had a similar experience when logging on to Sway - I had no clue what to do. Did you ever figure out how to bring up a menu or launcher? All I could do after googling was launch a terminal

giddy ,
@giddy@aussie.zone avatar

Thanks for that. Now that I know the launcher shortcut I will give it another go

Wow I am not in your league

I am currently migrating from a dedicated docker host to a proxmox host with multiple LXC containers.

old host - 23 docker containers, 128GB system drive, 4TB data drive

backup server - 1 docker container, 1TB disk

proxmox - 3 LXC containers, one of which has 3 docker containers. 500GB system drive, 4TB media drive (not LVM)

The plan is to migrate the loads on the old host to the proxmox host. I also have another 4TB drive coming with the intent of setting up a RAID with 2 of the 4TB drives.

Home assistant is high on my todo list right after i set up my new proxmox host

A low end celeron NUC would be best. I have one that has been doing the heavy lifting for my home services for 4 years

giddy ,
@giddy@aussie.zone avatar

Yeah that one is way OP. My 4yo celeron NUC 8GB with 128GB SSD and 2x4TB external drives is ample for everything I throw at it

EDIT - there is a Ryzen 5 option in that page for 350 would be ample

After adding about 20 MAC addresses I gave up and just moved pi.alert to my secondary dns server (a pi zero) which has no docker

giddy OP ,
@giddy@aussie.zone avatar

Has anyone tried the docker variant of pi.alert? I presume that one must be smart enough to filter out docker ‘devices’

I seriously suggest you give Nextcloud another go, this time under Docker. Very simple to do.

Save the following in a new folder as docker-compose.yml


<span style="color:#323232;">version: '3'

</span>

run this command in the folder -

docker-compose up -d

open localhost

@giddy@aussie.zone avatar

No you can use other databases. It is separate here

giddy ,
@giddy@aussie.zone avatar

Can I ask why the separate NC container for cron? Also, I presume the mysqldump container is for easy db backups?

giddy ,
@giddy@aussie.zone avatar

How is NC using redis? I can’t see any links from the NC container

That is better than my NUC and I have no performance issues

+1 for Vaultwarden. Much simpler to set up

giddy ,
@giddy@aussie.zone avatar

Plenty of free hostname providers. I use Dynu

Yup Vaultwarden (the self host server) is easy to run in Docker and works well with the Bitwarden apps

How to make an MP3 player work in 2023?

If I wanted an MP3 player again, in 2023, and wanted to rip cds to it and put digitally purchased albums on it, as actual owned files (not inside an proprietary ecosystem where I pay to only listen to that track within that service) could I still do that? What would I need? I don’t own, and can’t afford, a “real...
