  • Interoperability between self-hosted services

    Jump

  • Thanks I'll dig deeper. I guess I do want something like n8n but ideally :

    • no AI
    • self hosted FLOSS services first, if possibly only (can just be filters like F-Droid has)
    • no need for no-code / low-code, code is great

    which makes me wonder what they do provide, e.g. is it mostly indexing existing plugins and then some scaffolding for non coders?

  • Do you have a specific use case for two containers that you want to talk to each other?

    Sure, for example once a Jitsi Meet meeting ends (more than 1 person in a room in, everybody gone), save the chat log to CopyParty e.g. WebDAV push to /meetingname_date.txt would be enough to be useful. It's something we tend to do manually on a regular basis.

    road map of what you are trying to accomplish before hand, and run it by the dev teams.

    Yes no rush and I can code so I would be able to test before suggesting anything.

    As I’m thinking about it, I wonder if your solution might be automation?

    I don't touch AI but I do think conventions, e.g. not "just" an API but SWAGGER, specific filesystem on mountpoints, etc could facilitate this.

  • Indeed and for PeerTube for example it has an API, cf https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html which I did use. It also provides SWAGGER so that could facilitate integration with others services also providing APIs. I was starting to think that the meta service could have read only public only token generated for each new service and provide a SWAGGER endpoint to facilitate using the API of more than 1 service.

  • Thanks, that's indeed exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for "The authentication glue you need." but even more generalized than that, e.g. just "the glue you need." not solely for authentication.

    Edit: to clarify and coming back after leaving few other comments, the 1 thing authentik has is that it is a cross-service need, namely nearly all services do need authentication AND, probably consequence of that, there are conventions and standards already in place, e.g. SAML, OAuth2/OIDC, LDAP, Auth0. So that makes everything much easier.

  • most of my services are an island to themselves

    same

    and I like it that way.

    ... well that's the part I'm challenging. I was thinking like this but I'm wondering if that could be improved.

    PS: I use ntfy and like it, that was just an example.

  • Yes I can relate to the process.

    Any further interoperability is luck based.

    Unfortunately I can relate to that, hence the question here :D

    Jump

  • Thanks, are you saying there is a mechanism in place, e.g. does YunoHost suggests plugins or integrations for services it manages?

  • Interoperability between self-hosted services

    Jump

  • eh... yes thanks and I do actually have ntfy (I also warmly recommend it) but this was just an example.

  • Interoperability between self-hosted services

    Jump

  • Well I do have Home Assistant, been running it for years, but HA is solely for ... well home assisting (or IoT). HA as integrations but let's say I want to use HA with ... any of my other services, e.g. CopyParty to maybe store logs and makes them available or PeerTube to have videos from my camera, I can look at HA integrations, or CopyParty... issues maybe, or PeerTube npm registry.

    My point being that HA is a good example with integrations but it's just one example. If I do take this example seriously though, is there a mechanism beside manual search in the list of integration that would list integrations with my services directly?

  • Help request : Docker service (PeerTube) doesn't work on new server

    Jump

  • Different networks entirely. AFAICT no IP is hardcoded, only domain names which are the same.

    But... please feel free to check the URL, it seems to work.

    My hypothesis is that the player in the browser, maybe due to WebWorks, had cached the IP of the content. So I was getting the UI/API from the new IP but the content itself (namely video files) from the old IP which might have created some CORS/CSP issues and that the player itself blocked it. (updating the post on the forum with that idea in case others get in a similar situation)

  • Is the docker container spinning up and running, or failing and exiting?

    Running and healthy

    Run docker ps, it’ll tell you how long your containers have been running or if they exited.

    Indeed and they don't exit.

    If everything is running then it’s most likely network, and I’d need to know how it is you used to access it on the old server (web address? Ip?)

    It it accessible via the domain name so networking, as least for UI and API, is working fine. Reverse proxy does let traffic go through.

    If it’s not running then you get to dig through error logs to get to the next step 🤓

    I checked error logs of all containers and seems fine. The only error I see are client side.

  • Oops sorry, terribly phrased, I meant "doesn't behave the same work" but I simplified, hopefully.

    Basically worked on old server, doesn't work on new!

  • If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7

    Jump

  • Warning : I think AI in the current hype form, so commercial GenAI and LLM, is absolutely bullshit. The result is just bad and resources required is absolutely ridiculous, and maybe worst than those two combined (which is already enough to want to reject en masse) it is structured in order to create dependencies on very few actors.

    Yet... (you saw that coming!) it's not because 99.99% is bad that suddenly the average consumer leverages the less than .01% left properly.

    What they (OpenAI, Claude, M$, NVIDIA, Google, Meta, etc) are looking for is a product/market fit. They do have a product (arguable) and a market (millions if not billions of users of their different other products) with even a minuscule fraction of people trying to use their new AI-based tool... and yet nobody actually knows what the "killer app" truly is.

    They are investing everything they don't spend on actual R&D or infrastructure in finding out ... what it's actually for. They have no clue.

  • Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?

  • Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?

    Jump

  • I mean... detecting (some) VPNs is as trivial as

    fetch('https://github.com/NazgulCoder/IPLists/raw/refs/heads/main/output/vpn-ipv4.txt').then( res => res.text() ).then( res => console.log( res.includes( "1.2.3.4" ) ) )

    thanks to https://github.com/NazgulCoder/IPLists/

    FWIW though I did try, connected via a random VPN from ProtonVPN from Argentina... and it wasn't in that list. So it's not perfect. Also ProtonVPN has apparently today 13K servers according to https://protonvpn.com/vpn-servers

    That being said I can imagine that Google, which is literally built on crawling the Web, has all the infrastructure and expertise needed to have such lists and up to date ones.

    I'm not justifying blocking VPN here, only trying to clarify that unless you self-host in a rather specific setup (i.e. not relying a popular cloud provider but truly self hosting) it's technically not hard to block VPNs.

  • Honestly I'd say it doesn't matter much. What matters is that your data are safe and you can afford a bit of time at first when things are a bit different than what you are used to.

    If you have a LOT of time or are very eager to learn, take something strange or not very popular. If you are in rush then start with a distribution that is popular, ideally that a friend, colleague or acquaintance also uses. Think of it as a team exercise.

    I personally use Debian but others might prefer Ubuntu or Mint to start with.

    But... yes, can be anything, just BACKUP your (and by that I mean data you have produced, e.g. documents, photos, saved games, etc) data then you should feel free to try!
