This Week in Self-Hosted

Tides of Change

Plex announced they'll be dropping Tidal integration in late October this week. Their third-party offerings/integrations have personally never come off as incredibly appealing – but some of the Reddit reactions to this news lead me to believe more will be impacted than previously thought.

I Think I'm Having an Asterism

Meet the asterism (⁂) – the proposed new symbol for the fediverse that has been gaining traction this past week. It's supposed to represent the various networks that come together to create the decentralized web, but the jury is still out on whether the community will be willing to accept it with open arms. Regardless, it isn't the worst social rebrand we've witnessed in the recent past.

Content Spotlight: Calibre-Web Automated

Meet Calibre-Web Automated, a consolidated Calibre and Calibre-Web application for eBook library management. Calibre-Web Automated aims to replace the need for separate applications and clunky VNC interfaces by merging all the features required for managing new and existing Calibre libraries into a single container. Functionality includes imports, conversions, metadata and cover management, CLI commands, change tracking, batch editing, and more to come as the platform is currently under very active development.

Calibre-Web Automated can be installed via Docker and comes with some required reading to get up-and-running.

My First CVE: Uncovering a Vulnerability in Ghost | Josh Stock

Git Commit Signing For Linuxserver CI | Info :: LinuxServer.io

Effective immediately we have started signing all of the git commits created by our CI account (I know, we should have done this a while ago but there were logistical issues that made it difficult). This means you can verify that all commits to our repos were, in fact, authored by us and that any commits to other random repos, were not. Most of the individuals who commit to our repos already sign their commits, but we’re working on getting everyone else into that position in the near future.

Content Spotlight: Pocket ID

Meet Pocket ID, a self-hosted OIDC authentication provider. Meant to serve as a simple alternative to other popular platforms, Pocket ID is easy to deploy and only supports passkey authentication. Once up-and-running, clients can be easily added via an administration page, which will generate the relevant IDs and secrets required for client-side configuration.

Pocket ID can be installed via Docker or bare metal and utilizes a SQLite database for storage. The developer also provides a guide for proxying services that don't support OIDC via OAuth2.

Changes To Our Image Deprecation Process | Info :: LinuxServer.io

Currently, when we deprecate an image, we add a note to the readme and to the startup logs to make users aware that the image is no longer actively supported and will not receive further updates. Users can then make their own decision as to whether to continue using it or not. Despite this, we still see a significant number of pulls for images that we have long since stopped updating, primarily because users don’t read the notices, or use a container management platform that doesn’t expose them.

PSA Regarding Potential Misconfiguration of Unifi-Network-Application and MongoDB | Info :: LinuxServer.io

We have recently been notified that if Role Based Access Control (RBAC) is not enabled in MongoDB, the official MongoDB container allows remote access to the db contents over port 27017 without credentials even though the official docs suggest that should only be possible when connecting from 127.0.0.1. The previous instructions for setting up MongodB we had provided in our Unifi-Network-Application image readme set up MongoDB without RBAC. If you set up the MongoDB container with the old instructions we had provided, do not map or expose port 27017.

Content Spotlight: HandBrake Web

Meet HandBrake Web, an unofficial web interface for the popular video transcoding tool. Designed primarily for users seeking the simplicity of Handbrake vs alternatives like Tdarr and FileFlows, HandBrake Web provides a native web interface for managing jobs while also adding support for distributed transcoding via workers across machines. Other features include adding and automating jobs by directory, queues, and preset management (note that presets will need to be created externally for the time being).

HandBrake Web can be installed via Docker and includes containers for a server and any number of workers.

This Week in Self-Hosted

It was a busy week in the self-hosting world and I'm growing fond of bulleted lists, so without further ado:

The Raspberry Pi team dropped v2 of its microcontroller board, the Raspberry Pi Pico 2
ICANN officially reserved .internal as a private TLD – good news for all the .arpa haters out there
TriliumNext – the successor to Trilium Notes (recently put into maintenance mode) – dropped its first stable release on Tuesday
The Frigate NVR team released a stable version of its anticipated v0.14 update, which features a complete UI overhaul and workflow improvements
Reddit user u/ExoWire opened their annual self-hosting services survey (see here for last year's results)
Fair Source made a splash with several larger projects announcing a transition to the new-ish licensing model this week

Happy selfh.st/ing!

This Week in Self-Hosted

For those following last week's Immich/FUTO licensing drama, the development team rescinded their decision to refer to financial support for the application as a license this week. Instead, they're now referring to financial support as buying a product key as they continue their push to normalize open-source software purchases in support of sustainable development.

The Ghost content management team also made significant progress towards integrating ActivityPub into the platform after syncing their first post to Mastodon this morning. (I find this particularly exciting, as I'm utilizing a self-hosted instance of Ghost to deploy selfh.st.)

In other news, a ton of new software launches popped up on my radar this week, so be sure to check them out if you don't normally scroll that far in the newsletter.

Happy selfh.st/ing!

Content Spotlight: WhoDB

Meet WhoDB, a lightweight self-hosted database management tool. Along with similarities in functionality to existing tools, WhoDB comes packed with a snappy and user-friendly interface that takes a more visual approach to managing database tables and their relationships. Features include interactive graphs for visualizing databases, inline editing and previews, support for a wide array of database types, and a Jupyter Notebook-like scratchpad for performing database queries.

WhoDB can be easily installed via Docker and is currently under very active development with additional functionality (including an API) on the horizon.

This Week in Self-Hosted

Another week, another semi-controversial Immich release. If you aren't familiar with the project, it's a Google Photos alternative often criticized for its frequent breaking changes and versioning system (to be fair, the team is upfront about this in their release notes and I personally don't mind working around it for such a solid self-hosted alternative).

This week, however, the team finally delivered something they've been hinting at since being acquired by FUTO earlier this year – paid licenses. Users can pay either $25 (personal) or $100 (server) for a license that nets them a 'Licensed' badge in the software's web interface. The team continues to confirm they have no plans for paywalled features, but the decision to tag installations as either licensed or unlicensed is still unusual for a free/open-source project and has created some confusion across the community.

Unrelatedly, if you're looking for something to spin up this weekend – there was a recent thread on Reddit prompting users for their favorite "underdog" self-hosted services that is absolutely worth checking out.

Happy selfh.st/ing!

This (and Last) Week in Self-Hosted

Last week, I shared a link to a new project titled ButtonBox that allowed users to predefine shell commands to be run from the click of a button via web interface. A few days before publishing, the developer archived the project and instead transitioned efforts to collaborating on a similar existing project, OliveTin. A ButtonBox theme is now available if you had already grown attached to the look-and-feel of the short-lived project.

In other site-related news, I dropped some major quality-of-life updates to selfh.st/apps this week, including:

Consolidation of /apps and /companions into a single directory
Collapsible tile details while browsing
A toggle to exclude closed source projects
Lazy loading for improved page speed and performance

Happy selfh.st/ing!

Using S3 as a container registry

For the last four months I’ve been developing a custom container image builder, collaborating with Outerbounds1. The technical details of the builder itself might be the topic of a future article, but there’s something surprising I wanted to share already: you can use S3 as a container registry! You heard it right. All it takes is to expose an S3 bucket through HTTP and to upload the image’s files to specific paths.

This Week in Self-Hosted

Occasionally, the amount of project launches in a given week will surpass the number of notable updates to existing projects – and today marks the end of one of those weeks.

Aside from the number of launches, I was more so intrigued with the number of launches that were accompanied by interesting backstories:

A fantastic first attempt at an investment portfolio management app – one of the most sought-after self-hosted applications across the communities I frequent
A newsletter platform prompted by Mailchimp's discontinuation of TinyLetter
A TikTok-styled video feed platform developed and released literally days after a Reddit user requested one
A novel attempt at consolidating existing software and tools to streamline a clunky process for ebook workflows

Check out the full list in the New Software section below for links to the projects above (and a lot more).

Happy selfh.st/ing!

Content Spotlight: Open Trashmail

Meet Open Trashmail, a Python-powered mail server for generating throwaway email addresses. Open Trashmail is designed to allow users to quickly and easily generate temporary (or permanent) email addresses to be used when signing up for websites, newsletters, etc., that they might not otherwise want to share personal addresses with. Features include RSS feeds for each inbox (helpful for subscribing to email-only newsletters via RSS), a JSON API, webhook support, attachments, random address generation, and a web interface for managing addresses and inboxes.

Open Trashmail can be installed via Docker and requires basic DNS/MX record configuration for each domain or subdomain.

This Week in Self-Hosted

I'm traveling this week, so in lieu of a weekly recap, enjoy a short list of projects, content, and updates that have recently caught my attention:

A new team of maintainers has already forked and dropped a new update for HomeBox (self-hosted home asset manager) after its developer announced the repository was being archived last week
The Plex team introduced support for alternate episode sorting in a beta release earlier this week
Larry Hryb (a.k.a. Major Nelson of Xbox notoriety) made an appearance on the most recent episode of The Uncast Show to chat about his homelab and how he utilizes Unraid

This Week in Self-Hosted

It's not too often I get to cover content that isn't a blog post, video, or software in this newsletter, so I was excited when SeaGL founder Adam Monsen reached out last year about a book he was writing on the fundamentals of self-hosting. It officially launched a few weeks ago, and if you can overlook how many times it mentions the word "chicken" (I counted 13), it's a great resource for those just getting started or looking to compare their own setups with common practices.

(Note: I am not affiliated with the author or book in any way and purchased my own copy for coverage in this newsletter.)

If you're looking for some spicy weekend reading, Techno Tim dropped a video this week pitting TrueNAS against Unraid – and the inevitable clashing of the two userbases in the comment section is exactly what you'd expect.

This Week in Self-Hosted

A few months ago, I shared an interesting repo maintained by Dan Brown (the developer of BookStack and RSS) that tracks projects misusing the term "open-source" in their licensing claims. This week, he published an interesting article making a case against Futo's recent decision to publish their own definition of "open-source". If the name sounds familiar, Futo is the organization recently in the news for funding the Immich project.

It's FOSS – an open-source publication often featured in this newsletter – also penned an interesting piece on the difference between open-source and source-available software that's worth checking out. Differentiation between the two can be a bit of a grey area and is probably the most requested feature I receive from selfh.st/apps visitors (note: tracking this for ~500 projects isn't easy).

In unrelated news, the Ghost team has been publishing hilarious weekly updates documenting their journey to joining the fediverse via ActivityPub integration. Be warned that some of the language can be a bit NSFW – but interesting and worth the read nonetheless.

Happy selfh.st/ing!

Futo, Please don’t attempt to create your own Open Source Definition · Danb Blog

As someone that watches and documents confusion (and potentially misleading) use of open source & licensing in the open source space, I’ve had my eye on Futo since they released their application GrayJay.

Content Spotlight: Dockcheck

Meet Dockcheck, a command line tool for streamlining Docker container image updates. With Dockcheck, users can run an interactive bash script that will query container registries for updated images and prompt the user to select which updates they'd like to apply. The script also comes with a number of helpful flags to further streamline the process – exclude containers from update checks, notifications for available updates, scheduled runs, auto-prune dangling images after update, and more.

To deploy Dockcheck, download the repository to your machine and run dockcheck.sh (by either navigating to the downloaded folder or installing it to PATH). When updates to the script are available, it'll offer to retrieve them automatically on the next run.
