Honestly, same.

My SO said I constantly need to be tinkering or my mental state goes off the rails.

I think this might be the most impressive/best one I’ve seen so far

The reverse Proxy is exactly what I use (in addition to the VPN, but I’m the only one that uses that in my group of cohorts)

Its been in Beta for a but now, but its worked perfectly for me the entire time

Yup! They can either connect to your Netbird meshnet (ie, similar a tailnet) or you can reverse proxy it out to the internet (no tailnet needed)

I saw a couple comments below concerned about security, one of the nice things about Netbird is that they have reverse proxy auth built in if you want. Some stuff (Navidrome or VoidAuth for instance) only has geolocation locked down (US only) but other things that I’m either more concerned about or don’t necessarily trust being open (Paperless or Komodo for instance) have Netbird Auth and VoidAuth as sign in options before it will let me open the page. Its worked flawlessly so far, and has kept my sanity intact because I wanted some stuff publically accessible without it being OPEN.

As far as being hammer fucked, it has CrowdSec and Geolocation lockdowns so you can set it to only accept traffic from ONE location and the Crowdsec also catches everything.

I recently switched to Netbird on a VPS (on Vultr). Their reverse proxy is super easy to set up / self host. They also offer a free version that works pretty good too, I just wanted to make it difficult for myself (thats the whole point of self hosting, right? )

I have almost this same setup, but I put LineageOS on the shield, still use the shield remote, and run a Jellyfin server. I also have SmartTube for my SO, and Nebula, and CuriosityStream. I install everything through either F-droid, Aurora, or Obtainium

Installed it, gonna set it up fully later. Honestly great for my brain. I forget to reach out almost all of the time

I think a lot of it stems from ACL issues, cause I run it on a TrueNAS machine. If I pointed any other container even near it, it would do weird stuff with the permissions. I was also using docker volumes (because it wouldn’t let me hard mount the db mounts on the machine) and it would randomly seem to wipe them? That may have been more of a user error issue.

I tried it literally as default as possible and couldn’t get the permissions working correctly, I did also try the ultra-manual install and had slightly better results, but it still stopped working randomly. I also had some random issues with networking but I got those figured out eventually.

I tried the AIO, the standalone community maintained one, and had problems with both of them. I could get them running, but the second ANYTHING changed, it would break. I kept having permissions issues, networking issues, and all sorts of random issues.

I ended up using the Linuxserver.io one and have had no issues since then.

I don’t know how much if it is a skill issue on my part, but I have had the Linuxserver.io running for a while now with no issues.

Pebble Time 2.

I use it primarily for notifications and secondarily for step / sleep tracking. I also currently use it for media control, home assistant, and various other generic watch things (timer, clock,stopwatch, etc)

Still getting used to it. Perviously had (in order) a CMF Watch, PineTime, Garmin Venu, PineTime, and some nameless Amazon watch (ticwatch maybe?)

As far as advice, personally I load a ton of stuff on every watch I’ve had thus far, and then remove stuff slowly as I realize that I don’t need it. I usually get rid of around half of the stuff I initially added. Honestly, just try new stuff, go through whatever app store your watch uses and find new cool stuff. There’s cool stuff hidden all over the place.

Thank you.

I edited my missing line break but I’m leaving this. Its too good.

I like the fact that there isn’t a distinction between the community edition and the business edition. Its all the same thing for Komodo, whereas I felt like Portainer had a bunc hof random things locked away behind the “Business Edition” and that just rubbed me the wrong way. If I’m self hosting something, I feel like I should be able to access all portions of it.

The GUI is a little different but once you’re used to it, I feel like it makes more sense for the most part. It has a nice way to connect other machines, so I can monitor all of the different machines in my network that are hosting things. I also wanted to mess around with some of the automation features, but I haven’t had as much time to dick around with that as I would like. I also wanted to start doing stuff from a personal Forgejo, and it was super easy to integrate. (No idea how easy it is on Portainer, as I had already jumped ship at that point)

Honestly, not entirely certain I did it right, but it was super easy. I literally spun up Komodo, spun down Portainer without shutting any of the other containers/stacks down, then added the same stacks back through the GUI option into Komodo with the same exact compose/title/env options. It literally just recognized that the containers that were already running on my server were the correct ones and “added” them back to the stack in Komodo. I vaguely remember reading that there is a more “correct” way to do it, but I only read about it after the fact.

I personally have switched over to Komodo after using portainer for years. Never looking back, I love it. Works perfectly and can do GUI, compose files, and repos for docker. I also have multiple machines running stuff and it let’s me fiddle with everything in one UI.

I’ve been looking at installing Dispatcherr recently. Not positive it will solve all of your problems, but might help with management? I haven’t installed it yet, so I’m not 100%. https://github.com/Dispatcharr/Dispatcharr

I use a nvidia shield with lineageos installed. It works perfectly for me with no tracking. I have Jellyfin, SmartTube, Dropout and Nebula installed (from F-droid, obtanium, and Aurora respectively) I think your TV has to be HDMI CEC but our shield remote can turn on/off the TV (I’m 90% certain HDMI CEC is the name of the standard) Outside of that, it is technically a smart TV but it is not connected to our network and will never be connected.

If you post again next month with more passes I’ll try to remember to reply with my guest passes again. Feel free to ping me if I don’t remember

I also get 3 guest passes a month, feel free to use. Same formatting as OP: replace “DASH” with a hyphen
