That’s because linuxserver focuses on creating docker images for existing projects.

Usually if you check a product on linuxserver.io is because you know already the product and you want to find a good quality docker (docker compose) image.

All the github and docker pages from linuxserver have the same structure and after the generic intro they present the project.

Personally I love what they’re doing but I understand your confusion, it was the same for me when I first knew of the project.

It’s explained in the FAQ: https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-can-i-self-host-beeper I’ve not used the app so I don’t know how practical/easy it is but they’re at least offering the option, which is laudable.

For what I understood the decryption/encryption process happens on the bridge. The bridge is the selfhosted component so the transformation would happen in your server and they would have no visibility over the unencrypted message.

Did you know that you can use Joplin on a standard webdav server? Basically it just takes up the space of the data itself. I have it on a Caddy server and works like q charm synching between Windows and Android client

Yes, I’ve tried already that option (code server) and unfortunately I cannot use the “Remote” / “Dev Containers” extension with it. If you know how to do that, please let me know.

Thanks a lot, great suggestion! I’ll play around with it and let you know :)

Thanks but that would not fit my case as I’d have to install locally all the toolchain. As much as possible I’d like to have everything on a remote server.

Thanks for the reply, actually I wasn’t aware of that functionality in Github, that’s fantastic! If only I could have something similar selfhosted… :)

Thanks, that was an option I had on table, just wanted to check if there was a “simpler” solution

Fantastic suggestion and thanks for the post, very clear! I played with NixOS some time ago but I totally missed this capability. Fits quite well my use case, thanks! And I found this extension that could make things easier: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=arrterian.nix-env-selector

I had a look at it but it doesn’t seem to be able to create isolated dev environments on its own. Is it the case?

That’s a possibility for sure. My suggestion would be first to test the capability of the device before buying anything. Once you’re satisfied with it, you can take the next steps and buy additional hardware. In my experience a USB-C -> ETH port was a great purchase as I was experiencing shaky WiFi connection possibly due to battery saving settings.

Based on my personal experience at least one year on a 5 years old mobile. It can last longer but I decommissioned it because I got a NUC.

I had setup a charge limiter (between 20% and 80%) with Magisk, initially it was through an automation in homeassistant but the battery usage was very high.

In terms of charge cycles it was one or two per day max

Hello, that’s perfectly possible, actually I was selfhosting on android until recently. You can find more info in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/5342541

Unless you need some heavyweight lifting and you’re ok with installing directly the applications (no docker, sorry), that’s a good portable homeserver.

My only suggestion: buy an ethernet adapter as the WiFi connectivity will drop sometimes.

Keep us posted!

It is possible nowadays: I’m hosting quite a few services on an 5 years old Android. Just with Termux, no root required. Of course connectef it’s just to the internal network due to all the security concerns mentioned in the post.

To solve all the bandwidth/connection issues, I’ve bought a usbc-ethernet dongle that works like a charm.

To mitigate battery issues I’ve limited the charging to 85%.

I would never host Jellyfin there, but with webdav and Kodi I can get my media served easily to all my devices at home

Until one week ago I was using an old Samsung A20 with good results. I moved to a mini PC as I wanted to host Immich server and I felt it was too much for the phone (it might not be the case though…)

A quick extract from an old post of mine on what I was running: https://lemmy.world/comment/354199

Software: Termux (android app) SSH (OpenSSH in Termux) Rclone (in Termux) Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr (in proot-distro) Transmission (in proot-distro) Kavitha (in proot-distro) Podgrab (in proot-distro) Ombi (in proot-distro) ntfy (in proot-distro) Filebrowser (in proot-distro) Vaultwarden (in proot-distro) Homer with lighttpd (in proot-distro)

TLDR: Go for it! Use Termux with proot-distro to avoid headaches
