  • Plus Foldersync is way harder on battery, I’ve experimented a lot.

    This is very configuration dependant. With an aggressive schedule checking a large number of files, it certainly can use a lot of battery; but I’ve had it setup to sync my entire device to my server a couple times a day, while also monitoring/syncing images immediately on creation/change. It doesn’t even register on androids battery usage monitor as it uses so little power.

    Anyway; just listing an option for people to look at














  • Find a problem they are experiencing and introduce them to a solution they can self-host to fix it. Expand from there.

    I began my self-hosting journey 7ish years ago with media piracy and a desire to watch/access my files wherever I was. Learned of Plex, then Emby, Reverse Proxies, Domains, SSL, and on and on…

    Today I’m running 24+ docker containers and some miscellaneous stuff, across 3 systems; that’s always accessible via my domain/vpn.


  • what does not work:

    • i can not ping server.local (- for testing i have to stop the systemd-resolved.service to run the dnsmasq server, or else there are port collisions, but that should not be the problem i guess. I am happy to hear your solution :))
    • i can also not use ssh to log in to server.local, ip address works

    Have you added “server.local” as a DNS record in your dnsmasq container, pointing to your servers LAN IP? Sounds like dnsmasq isn’t resolving that name, which would lead to both of these ‘failures’.




  • I work warehousing; no IT background, I just like to tinker with whatever. Have since I started breathing.

    I was a fairly casual pirate, grabbing movies/shows I couldn’t find elsewhere (or just couldn’t afford). Got into Plex/Emby for my first real exploration into self-hosting (if you don’t count SRCDS and/or Minecraft Server at like 13yo); and expanded my knowledge from there. Reverse Proxys, the ‘arrs’, DNS, Docker, VPNs, etc.

    Now a days, I’ve got 20+ services that I mostly access via a VPN I host, and I’m always interested in messing with new things :)
