Things I want to look into some day

• Paperless-NGX - document management
• ntfy.sh - push notifications, but still has issues with iOS when self-hosted
• Forgejo - Gitea-replacement, but has no distinguishing advantage yet

the power lights are on the left while the wholes on the case are on the right, so with the Pi2 you don’t see the green/red light

That's not true. The case has holes on both sides as can be seen here:

Ha, you're correct. Mine also never went over 45 ℃.

Geekworm Pi 4 case

Geekworm Pi 3 case (also fits Pi 2)

I've also ordered some extra strips of cooling pads and added them to the bottom side of the CPU and the RAM chip beneath - so that heat gets sent to the case as well.

I prefer the Geekworm and similar cases. They have ribs for better heat dissipation. Even under full load I get my Pis barely over 60℃.

Maybe find an online print shop that does professional book printing? I've just clicked the first result from a quick Google search and https://mixam.co.uk/paperbackbooks can do 944 pages, A4, Silk, 115gsm for about £50. Or 800 pages on Uncoated, 100gsm paper for £45. For thinner paper they need to use a Lithography machine instead of their normal printer, it seems. That's why the price jumps to £3k+ for those. I don't think they care much about WHAT you want to have printed.

Exactly! It didn't work without providing any service item, so I had to specify something.

I use the dynamic configuration to add some static routes to other devices and non-Docker services in my local network.

I think the redirect must go into the dynamic configuration, not the static one. But yes, you can setup a generic redirect. I did it like this:

http:

  routers:

    redirect-https:
      rule: HostRegexp(`{catchall:.*}`) 
      entrypoints: web
      middlewares: redirect-https
      service: dummy

  services:

    dummy:
      loadbalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "about:blank"

This is in a file 010-redirect-https.yml in my Traefik's dynamic configuration directory. And it works for all http URLs.

Or fork to a different system, e.g. Gogs/Gitea/ForgeJo/GitLab…

“Guns don’t kill people - people kill people. Guns defend people against people with smaller guns.”

Yep, had ejabberd running on a Pi 3 with all the XEPs supported by Conversations enabled and various transports. 4 or 5 people at times. No problems at all - with chat and memes, that is. Never tried video or voice calls, but I don't think they require much work from the Pi itself.

However, similar to @solidgrue@lemmy.world, in a bout of simplifying my life I decided to nix the setup as all people involved also had one or more of Threema, Signal or Telegram anyways.

Or Yazi.
