Hello lovely people, I'm enjoying this community a lot, I have learnt many things and got my server up and running with decent amount of useful services. It wouldn't be possible without all the help I got here and it's time to give back something from myself. Maybe one of you will host this app, hopefully.

MedAssist is a simple Node.js application made with love to help my partner manage their daily medications. It makes it easy to keep track of medication inventory and reorder on time by sending reminders. If you're unsure whether a dose was taken, just check the dashboard, and comparing the expected stock with the actual quantity can help confirm. For travel, MedAssist takes away the stress by generating a quick list of all necessary medications for the time you’ll be away.

Keep in mind I’m not a professional programmer, coding is just a hobby for me. Working on this project is a way for me to unwind on stressful days and spend some time doing something I enjoy. I’d be happy if anyone else finds it useful, but I’ll likely keep it going either way!

I am self educated and I have already impressed myself with results I got so far, but it might make real coders laugh (which is also not bad hehe). I had some previous javascript experience (some simple stuff), but other than that I followed many guides and got decent amount of help from AI.

Features:

• Track medication inventory and know exactly when to reorder
• Receive email reminders when supplies are low
• Generate a custom medication list for travel, including quantities needed for your chosen timeframe (optionally send by e-mail)
• Simple dashboard showing medication status and upcoming schedules
• User friendly web interface for easy medication management and configuration

It can be hosted in Docker container and docker-compose is available on GitHub. You can also try out Demo

It is my first GitHub project, also first application and first docker container I made. Feel free to ask anything, feedback and all suggestions are welcome!

Have a nice day R

After upgrading my internet connection I immediatelly noticed that my HDD tops 40 MB/s and bottlnecking download speed in qbittorrent. Is it possible to use SSD drive as a catch drive for 12 TB HDD so it uses SSD speeds when downloading and moves files to HDD later on? If yes, does it make sense? Anyone using anything simmilar? Would 512 GB be enough or could I benefit from 2TB SSD?

HDD is just for jellyfin (movies/shows), not in raid, dont need backup for that drive, I can afford risking data if that matters at all

All suggestions are welcome, Thx in advance

EDIT: I obviously have upset some of you, wasn't my intention, I'm sorry about that. I love to tinker and learn new things, but I could live with much lower speeds tho... Please don't hate me if I couldn't understand your comment or not being clear with my question.

HDD being bottleneck at 40 MB/s was wrong assumption (found out in meantime). I'm still trying to figure out what was the reason for download to be that slow, but I'm interested in learning about the main question anyway. I just thought I'm experiencing the same issue like many people today, having faster internet than storage. Some of you provided solutions I will look into, but need time for that and also have to fix whatever else I'm having issue with.

Keep this community awesome because it is <3

Hey guys, Ive been running PoP OS for more than a year without any big issues until today. I did a reboot (with checkmark to do updates) and after that PC got stuck at MBO logo. After reading a bit I rebooted again and was holding space button -> chose old kernel and PC started. One screen was just black while the other one was using super low resolution. I went to pop_shop and downgraded video drivers from 555 to 470 and eddited /boot/efi/loader/loader.conf to default Pop_OS-oldkern rebooted and viola its booting fine. Then I noticed my app PrusaSlicer (flatpak) doesnt show the Platter (main tab) and it crashes if I try to slice. I read it could be graphic driver related. Then I was struggling to update drivers to 555 again and eventually succeeded using sudo apt remove ~nnvidia and sudo apt install pop-desktop system76-driver-nvidia. I believe Im using old kernel and new gpu drivers, but still have an issue with PrusaSlicer. Anyone know a solution?

When I had only one screen working (at low resolution) PrusaSlicer was working fine...reinstall doesnt help at all

Thx in advance

Every time I wake up PC from sleep I have to go to bluetooth settings -> select device -> enable connection to get sound on bluetooth speakers (Anker Soundcore). Bluetooth came with MBO and drivers were working out of the box after PopOS install.

I hope there is a command I can use instead of clicking in the GUI. Anyone know a command I could use?

[SOLUTION]

Using this command (with bluetooth speaker MAC address):

bluetoothctl connect A4:77:58:0A:DF:F1

[SOLUTION]

Bonus question: I was thinking I could map that command to a keyboard shortcut (like CTRL+ALT+B). What is the best way (or app) to accomplish this? I believe I could google this part quickly, but happy to hear suggestions anyway

[SOLUTION]

It's possible with PopOS: Settings -> Keyboard -> Keaboard Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts

Hey guys, I was happily running 44 docker containers for a while on Debian host. Today I tried to add a new service (uptime-kuma) using portainer stacks, but I got this error:

Error response from daemon: could not find an available, non-overlapping IPv4 address pool among the defaults to assign to the network

Quick google led me to this link where I found possible problem with max number of docker networks. I did docker network prune, it removed 5 networks that were not in use and viola, uptime-kuma is working now!

Am I reaching the limit? What to do if I need 10 more services on the same host? I bet I saw some people in this community running many more services

Hello selfhosters,

I recently moved to a new place with faster internet (320/130 Mbps) and now I see that VPN is limiting my torrent speed.

I was testing multiple AirVPN (wireguard) servers and I'm getting 80-120 Mbps on speedtest-cli, but in torrents it goes bit higher to about 180-200 Mbps. I usually use it trought gluetun container, but was also testing with eddie-cli and I get pretty much the same results.

I was reading that people get 600 Mbps and even 1+ Gbps on AirVPN. What is your experience? If this is AirVPN limit, what would you suggest as alternative with port forwarding to saturate my bandwidth? I can live with these speeds, just want to check if there is better alternative or something missconfigured on my side.

Cheers

I know we had posts like this before, but Immich deserves 👏

One more update, one less container, the best Google Photos alternative, its just amazing!!

Don't forget to edit your docker-compose before updating

Hello selfhosters,

I need recommendation for cheap VPS that I will use to host gramps only. Gramps is selfhosted app for building family tree.

I tested gramps in docker container on my home server and its awesome, check it out. My home server is not open to public (accessing it using wireguard only) and I would like to give access to some family members (3-4) for gramps. I thought its best to pay for cheap VPS and run gramps only to avoid any security issues on my home network.

I believe performance and storage requirements fit in any cheapest model, but not sure which VPS is the easiest to setup. I have my own domain from porkbun, but I have never set SSL certs properly before and I have never used VPS. I see this as a great opportunity to learn, but also to make some family members happy <3

I'm eying servercheap.com and it says in description "1 IPv4", but then it offers "Add'l Ipv4 Addresses" for 9$. I'm bit lost here and I'm not even sure do I need IPv4 address. Maybe I can run duckdns or ddclient to avoid additional cost?

How is your experience with servercheap? Is there anything better for similar price?

Also, any tips for building server like that are appreciated. I was thinking Debian 11 + gramps in docker container since I'm familiar with that setup.

Cheers

Hey guys,

how to find out why Sonarr can't send test message via Gotify? I'm getting "Unable to send test message " in logs. I'm using discord notifications with no problem.

I tried moving Gotify in the same docker stack as my arr apps. Gotify is running behind gluetun just to make it available on the same network (maybe not necessary?). I have opened port for Gotify (8099) in UFW. I can send msg to Gotify using Android phone.

docker-compose

SONAR LOGS

While discord is working fine, I'm trying to move away from it. If there is any alternative to Gotify please let me know. I'm running docker containers on Debian host.

thank you

edit: If I try to open Sonarr console and do curl -v http://192.168.100.40:8099/message?token=AOhF2MthB0V1IhV its just hanging and then console closes (using protainer)

Hello selfhosters,

I have opportunity for free CPU upgrade from g3930 to i3-8100, but not sure is it worth?

Server ATM is happy DIY PC build made from desktop components:

• MBO: MSI Z270-A PRO
• CPU: intel G3930
• RAM: DDR4 8GB
• PSU: ATX 550W
• plus storage and no GPU

Im running debian with 30+ containers (*arrs, jellyfin, nextcloud, pihole, npm and many more) and its amazing for our needs (2 users), pulls around 20-25 W on idle from the wall. I could use bit more juice to speed up Nextcloud for example and maybe to be able to transcode 4K in the future (don't have any 4K screen yet)? Not sure if this upgrade can help at all?

Now I got i3-8100 for free, but not sure is there any downside like extra power usage on idle? I would like to avoid replacing CPU for unnoticable performance increase. Comparing specs its pure upgrade and i3 is 2x more expensive.

One of them will probably end up like e-waste in one of the hidden boxes that I keep away from everyone including myself :D

All suggestions are welcome
