I was in a very similar situation as you when I decided to just go with Unraid and build my own. I got a Fractal Design 804 case and was able to put very modest parts in it (i5 6500) and it performs so much better. And now there’s no headaches with drives. I still have my 918+ but it’s only used as a local backup for my unraid. If you’re willing to shift perspective a little it can be very worthwhile. My small opinion…

Not sure what your preferred platform is but I’ve had great success connecting to my Calibre-web site with Yomu on iOS.

Maybe using a tailscale funnel would be a good option for you? I use one for a webdav setup to get around CF’s 100mb limit on uploads when clients won’t chunk their data properly. It was fairly easy to set up and works perfectly.

I’ve been using Floccus extension for a year or two and love it. Everyone of my browsers is supported (except for Orion), synced using my nextcloud setup, and is easy to set up. Can’t complain.

That is an option I’ve been thinking about but I’ve never used it, I’m not a dev. Maybe I’ll look at it more seriously since it does sound like what would work best, I’d really apprecieate the versioning. Thanks!

In my particular case I only have a few .env files and they don’t have any credentials in them. This is mostly for the docker-compose files.

I literally just set up a container for Erugo for this exact thing. It worked perfectly and was super easy to do. It’s just a self-hosted version of wetransfer. Could be helpful…

I think you can just download them straight from the website.

I had some issues at first then decided to actually RTFM and once i entered my kindle serial number into the plugin, worked perfectly.

I’ve really enjoyed Mona. It’s definitely worth the very nominal fee if you want more features, especially if you have multiple accounts.

Any recommendations for a peertube instance?

My god it doesn’t have to be so “on or off”! There are plenty of ways to create a post and it sends it directly to Mastodon AND Bluesky. Build both audiences because there’s a good chance that you’ll be connecting with very different groups of people.

I’ve moved from Synology and have started using Owncloud. So far it has been mostly fine. I had a wierd issue upgrading from 10.13 to 10.14 but was able to simply redo my setup and it’s now fine. However, I’m also checking out Seafile. So far it seems very quick and works well but I haven’t gotten to really put it through the paces. It’s main downside is the data not being stored in standard files/folders. My 2 cents…
