ssmtp is also my go-to for this. Or dma (DragonFly Mail Agent) - if available - which provides a queue in case the delivery to the smarthost fails. But as it's not running as a daemon (saving resources), so you have to setup a regular cronjob to process the queued messages.

I've never noticed any issues or long delays. My Raspberrys come up either way. Might take a bit longer if the NAS isn't accessible - but they still come up. Only without the mounted shares, of course.
As an alternative, you could do the same using systemd.
Yep, pretty accurate.
NFS is fantastic from a practical standpoint.
Only if you don't care about the NAS'es file permission management and have the same uid on all your systems mounting the same shares via NFS. Not sure if it's different with other NAS implementations, but on my Synology DS415+ all files put on there via NFS get the UID from the source system. Which isn't the UID of my user on the Synology.
E.g. on my Raspberrys, my user usually is uid 1000 / gid 1000. But on my Synology, my user is uid 1026 / gid 100. So the integrated management tools (e.g. File Station) show mangled permissions as the user with uid 1000 is not known.
And the only real solution to this is to use a Kerberos server - which I think is a bit overkill in a 1 user environment. idmap doesn't really work on my NAS.
You can literally specify it in your fstab to mount the network share at boot.
Uh, the same is possible with any other file system, too.
//nas/share /mnt/whatever smb3 defaults,auto,username=bob,password=xxx 0 0I just have Watchtower stopped and configured in "one-shot" mode sitting on all my Docker hosts. And when I'm in the mood of updating and fighting with possible issues, I just run it. Works much better for me than some update notification popping up in the worst possible moment, me dismissing it and then forgetting about it. 🤣
The key component is some cheap DVB-T receiver with an RTL2832U chip and an R820T tuner. These things usually costed around 15€ but went up now as I just found out. Maybe there's a newer/better combination for cheap now.
Cut the small DVB-T antenna to 69mm length for optimal reception on 1090 MHz. Or build your own.
Then you need dump1090 which is the tool using the receiver and tuning it to 1090 MHz to receive the ADS-B packages and decode them. It's providing the decoded packages in different formats on different ports (30002 - RAW / 30003 - SBS / 30005 - Beast mode).
And once this is running, you can just sign up to any ADS-B page, get your feeder ID, take their feeder software and point it to the correct port of dump1090. That's basically it.
I've created my own custom minimalistic containers for dump1090, fr24feed, pfclient and piaware, but you can find universal ones on Docker Hub. The services I feed to are:
- FlightRadar24
- ADSB-Exchange (the only site that doesn't filter military and government planes)
- FlightAware
- PlaneFinder
- RadarBox
(Most of these sites give you premium access to their data in return.)
Oh, and if you live near waterways, this totally works for ships, too. It's just a different frequency (~162 MHz), so you'd need a second DVB-T dongle and different antenna (46.3cm). And the dump1090-equivalent there is called AIS-catcher. With that, you can feed to sites like ShipXplorer, MarineTraffic, etc..
I also had an ejabberd running for my family. Configured all the XEPs that take it into the current century. Had Conversations as a client for Android and Monal on iOS. No problems at all - apart from Monal being a bit wonky at times. But I assume these bugs are all fixed by now.
Also, Conversations is THE XMPP client. The guy behind it is involved in lots of XMPP stuff. And Monal tries to be the same for the iOS world.
But similarly, we all switched to Telegram over time as that's where my parent's friends are, too.
Yes, and this can be paired with a self-hosted mail server, too.
I’ve paid for Lifetime Plex when it was still cheap. And have Jellyfin running on the side to see what it has more to offer. (Also to test Swiftfin.) But as long as Plex “just works” for me, I will probably keep both. On Plex, I have shared libraries from a few friends.
And there’s also Stash, but this has a completely different kind of library management. It allows for bookmarking specific timestamps, has video previews and other things.
