I too am running Authentik in an LXC and am using the default docker-compose.yml. Did you make sure to define your .env file correctly? Are you able to connect to the docker container itself after deployment? You may need to blow the DB volume away and try again because it will only provision on first run.

I LUKS encrypted my boot partition of my last install. It would take an extra 1-1:30 secs to boot when I got the password correct on the first attempt. Much longer if I got it wrong and had to reboot to try again.

I finally did it correctly this last build, but now I am using NixOS and refuse to add anything to the config or a flake if I just need it once a week or so. So I am constantly digging through my history to find the shell I created to do a specific task.

I like Self-hosted Show, as well. Sometimes it feels like they talk about a subject immediately after I start looking into it. The home lab zeitgeist can be eerie, I guess.

A little rough, to be honest. It’s a docker-compose deployment, but it requires you to run make to deploy it. The makefile does extra configuration and such to allow the containers to come up healthy. It works, but it’s overcomplicated and styled after their own deployments, so probably way more compute than what is needed for one household.

Oh and because of this protracted topology, it’s tough to hide behind a reverse proxy.

I’ve been using this, as well. They default to hosting your “vault.” It does peer-to-peer syncing, if you don’t want to have a server involved at all. I’m running their self-hosted server, but that’s only after I decided that AnyType was what I was looking for. I really like that it’s object based, so you can create templates for things like meetings that are their own type, separate from a bog-standard page.

You said you added the Tailscale network, but how wide did you go? By default when you load the plugin and activate the interface, it just gives its own IP as the network (/32). If you added that, then only traffic with that specific origin will hit your route. It’s crazy, but for my firewall rules (not routing) to work, I had to define the network as a 100.0.0.0/8, which is gigantic. You may have to do that with the route as you can’t otherwise set the gateway on the interface as it’s not hosting the DHCP server.

Damn no reason for you to get on here and call me out so directly. Also I still have wobbly windows and the modern version of desklets. No shame.

My family and I really like it. I invested in a small, physical scanner capable of network file sharing that we have plugged in and always ready to scan. When we get documents or receipts, we scan them and they’re immediately added to the database. I also have it checking an email address (mine is custom, but you could really have it check any address) and any time a PDF or such is sent, it gets consumed and that email them gets sorted.

There are a few downsides, however. As mentioned in other posts, turning your physical stack of documents into a digital stack of documents is just trading one pile for another. At least with a digital pile, you can sort a little quicker, but you still have to sort the consumed documents and check them to make sure the engine, which is supposed to be learning, has elected to sort the documents correctly.

The compose stack is pretty easy to use, but it does benefit from a little knowledge in Docker/containers. Especially when the main container decides it’s not healthy. I wouldn’t recommend it to a first time Docker user, is all.

Additionally and also previously mentioned, if you’re keeping important documents in it, encrypted storage with encrypted back up is important.

It was the former. This unit had 8 12v batteries VERY snuggly placed within it. I didn’t pay attention to all the leads and their locations when dissembling the old batteries. I’m professional IT and hubris was nearly the end of me.

Yeah these are the small, closed cell 12v batteries. Just make sure you have the circuit open until the very last step. Additionally, if you have an array of batteries, make sure you’re paying attention to their configuration.

Oh no. Half of this post is me making fun of myself. Mistakes were made. When you have a large array of batteries, it’s important to wire them up correctly when replacing them. I definitely closed the circuit on some of the batteries when I shouldn’t have.

I see how it could be confusing, and in the spirit of sending the correct message, I have added a clarifying edit.

The same front end? Nah it has it’s own menus and such. If you’re familiar with the anatomy of the conf files you can piece each sub-menu within the plugin to it’s corresponding section in the conf. Not everything that I need was represented. There is a way to inject custom blocks, but it’s pretty cumbersome.

Honestly? I’m considering going back to a dedicated nginx host for two reasons. Firstly it’s just easier to configure. Secondly, I’m sending internal traffic to the public DNS addresses for some of the services and I’m not 100% positive those fuck-heads over at Comcast aren’t charging me for the hairpin route. If I had a local, internal proxy, I could avoid that.
