My two cent about emails servers field. Over a two decades...
No worries mate. I was just curious. I have never incorporated both those in a searxng stack and was wondering what they brought to the stack.
I've run a bunch of containers and if it would be helpful I could clean it up and donate it to the cause. It'll take a few days to clean up and maybe clarify anything better. 30 minute 30 mile warranty
I think you'll love Proxmox. I have a blast with it, however, I am not the selfhost guru, so you may want to wait for someone more authoritative than I. As far as everything running on one container, personally I like to split anything AI off to it's own VM. That way I can toggle it on or off when needed and it's not just eating up ram for no good reason.
I have played with CasaOS. Pretty nice package, especially if you are just getting your feet wet, or just want to be able to quickly spin up containers. In this category there is also Umbrel, RunTipi, or Cosmos Server, to name a few. They all have their pros/cons.
Tailscale rocks! Simply put. It's super easy to set up and you can tunnel a crap load of data through it.
As far as 'must have' software, Searxng gets a huge workout on a daily basis for me. If you like tinkering/building work flows, N8N, LangFlow, and Flowise get steady use on my network. I can't speak to the 'arr stack' and I have all the media I could ever want, and I'm not much of a movie watcher, but sky's the limit based on what you want to do with your server. When you have Proxmox up and running, be sure to check out the Proxmox Helper Scripts. Lots of goodies there.
Have fun bro.
We could say the very same things about all technology tho. I'm old enough to have lived a rather full life before the advent of the computer revolution. People in my age bracket lamented almost the same things you have pointed out in regards to computers, or really any new technology. Boomers, for some reason, seem to hate technology, even tho they use it on a minute by minute basis. Computers will rot your brain. Computers will do your thinking for you. Computers are going to take over the world. Yet, here we all sit in Lemmy Selfhosted, fully immersed in computer tech.
I hear what you are saying, and in some respects I can find commonality. However, I'm not on a mission from god, and have long since given up on trying to save the world from itself. I'm not saying it isn't a worthy cause, it's just that 8.2 billion people have 8.2 billion different ideas than I do.
Man, you guys REALLY do not like AI here. lol Yeah, it's a novelty for the average consumer. Sure, corporations try to wedge AI into everything, like an AI Rice Cooker. But we have to go there to figure out what it's core usefulness is. Think of when corps were hit by the trendy cloud thing. They pushed entire operations to the cloud. Then we figured out that what can be run in the cloud, might not ought be in the cloud. So, after a while, we regrouped, and no one even gives 'the cloud' much thought anymore...it's not special or trendy anymore.
It's like every trendy technological gizmo that supposed to make your life sooo much easier. These are selling points for people who really don't understand the real potential, and just want to make faceswaps, and bizarre pictures, or maybe music. I use AI when I'm mastering music tracks because I'm clinically deaf and some frequencies I just can't hear. Works very well.
Thanks for sharing OP. If I could find a selfhostable Notepad++ I'd be in high cotton. It ticks all the boxes I need.
I use Readeck as well. My only complaint about Readeck is there really is no 'one click, backup/export' option. You can, however, download all the zip files it makes along with the db, and transfer it to another server. I know you can import bookmarks from Firefox, and you can export the epub, but you can't export all of your saves. At least I've never found a way beyond just downloading the full db and zips.
It's a downright dirty shame no devs have taken on Raindrop. It's a slick little app.
- Readeck is kind of a 'read it later' app.
- Karakeep is for saving data like web sites etc, that you'd like to preserve the content thereof.
- LinkWarden is for links, bookmarks tho you can use it like Readeck.
- Walabag: I've never used it but I've heard good things about it.

Welcome to the most frustratingly satisfying journey you'll ever untertake. Next thing we'll see is the lights dimming when you reboot your server(s).
Dude! Thanks so much. You're very generous with your time. I guess now I have no choice nor excuse. I'll run it up the flag pole sometime this weekend,

This doesn't accomplish what the legislature intends. It never does. For instance, in the US, Texas in all their wisdom that can't keep an electrical grid running smooth without duct tape and bailing wire, has decided to 'ban' PornHub. It makes all the christofascist's dicks hard because in their mind, they have rooted out evil and destroyed it. (See Satanic Panic in the 80s) However, their weak, little minds cannot comprehend the fact that for every technology, there exists an equal, yet undoing technology.
Do it for the children I hear them say, and I would agree in this example, that children should not be viewing porn. A better solution would be to make parents actually parent. You brought a service into your home that can be both highly detrimental and highly beneficial, and then you turn around give it all, including a cel phone, to a very inquisitive mind uninhibited, unmonitored, and uncontrolled in any manner. You're the problem, not porn.

Is a cheap VPS on hetzner where I installed python, PieFed and it’s Postgres database but also nginx and letsencrpt manually by mydelf and pointed my domain to it, selfhosting?
I don't get hung up on the definitions and labels. I run a hybrid of 3 vps and one rack in the closet. I'm totally fine with you thinking that is not selfhosting or homelabbing. LOL I have a ton of fun doing it, and that's the main reason why I do it; to learn and have fun. It's like producing music, or creating bonsai, or any of the other many hobbies I have.
If you’re worried about system resources that’s one thing
My thoughts were that, even tho I know Graylog, et al are fantastic apps, if I could get away with something light, like Logwatch and lnav, that would allow me to read logs fairly easy and lighter on resources, I could channel those resources to other projects. I'm working from a remote VPS with 32 gb RAM, so yes I can run the big apps, and I know just enough about Docker so that it's not way over my head as far as complicated. This particular VPS has only one user, so I'm not generating tons of user logs etc. IDK, it all made sense when I was thinking about it. LOL I do like a nice, dialed out UI tho.
I have a docker compose file that handles Graylog, Opensearch, and Mongodb
I certainly would like the opportunity to take a look at it, maybe run it on my test server and see how it does.
'presh
I didn't know that existed. I'm reading presently.
I do know how to pull containers. I'm concerned with pulling a Docker container, that may be laced with xmrig for example, or opens a port by which a nefarious actor could gain access, much like in a windows environment. There are repositories like Docker Hub, but do they go through and verify all containers? I highly doubt they verify user content/containers. They do have verified containers, but not all of them bear the verified earmark.
I briefly checked out Docker Scout. That looks very interesting. I'll dive in here in a little bit.
As you can probably see OP, AI doesn't get much airplay here for some odd reason. I think it's pretty damn amazing, tho I think it gets over hyped. For example an AI Rice Maker. AI is at it's gimicky stage right now for the average, normal consumer, a selling point if you will. Kind of like when we discovered 'the cloud'. Well we've been doing that for a while before the cloud became a selling point. Everyone and their brother trampled over each other to move entire operations to the cloud. Merely mentioning 'the cloud' in a board room meeting would make CEO's jizz their pants. Then we figured out that not everything that can go in the cloud, should be in the cloud and so we regrouped. I see AI currently like that.
Lemme ask you about ADHD?! I’m pretty sure I have it but don’t care. I am who I am. How about you?
I've long been told that I have the tenants of ADHD. When I was a young lad, ADHD was not something that doctors looked for. Then as time progressed and we learned a lot more about ADHD, and two lines of thinking emerged. Either ADHD is a real illness, or it was bunk science. Nowadays, we know a ton more about these kinds of mental maladies and I truly feel that more people than what we realize are on the spectrum.
I have had a TBI which gifted me a seizure condition as well as other mental/neuro maladies. I'm sure a lot of my issues stem from the TBI as well. It has definitely made drastic changes in how my brain works and sometimes the most simplest of tasks are hard for me to comprehend. However, after falling from 2 stories onto a concrete pad and laying there in a pool of blood for an unknown amount of time before someone found me, I feel quite fortunate to be alive.
