I don’t have many machines but about 40 containers. I used docker compose. Then I’ve found Trillium Notes for the documenting part. I have the client on my mac that syncs to the trillium container on my server that way I can always have access if something happens and the server is down or I need it offline. One thing I love about it is that I’ve set it so all pages are read only by default. This makes it work for me more like a wiki and I don’t accidentally overwrite something. The discipline to keep it updated?.. biggest challenge.

I’ve stuck with https://gethomepage.dev/ the longest. Taking the time to tweak it can be a huge help (using labels for autodiscovery). It’s yaml configs are fairly easy once you get the hang of them if that’s something that is new to you. Lots of help out there too.

I was in a very similar situation as you when I decided to just go with Unraid and build my own. I got a Fractal Design 804 case and was able to put very modest parts in it (i5 6500) and it performs so much better. And now there’s no headaches with drives. I still have my 918+ but it’s only used as a local backup for my unraid. If you’re willing to shift perspective a little it can be very worthwhile. My small opinion…

Not sure what your preferred platform is but I’ve had great success connecting to my Calibre-web site with Yomu on iOS.

Maybe using a tailscale funnel would be a good option for you? I use one for a webdav setup to get around CF’s 100mb limit on uploads when clients won’t chunk their data properly. It was fairly easy to set up and works perfectly.

That is an option I’ve been thinking about but I’ve never used it, I’m not a dev. Maybe I’ll look at it more seriously since it does sound like what would work best, I’d really apprecieate the versioning. Thanks!

In my particular case I only have a few .env files and they don’t have any credentials in them. This is mostly for the docker-compose files.

I literally just set up a container for Erugo for this exact thing. It worked perfectly and was super easy to do. It’s just a self-hosted version of wetransfer. Could be helpful…

That works! Thank you!

I’ve only ever used the AIO and it’s the only one of my problem containers out of about 30. Would you mind pointing me to some decent community compose files? Thanks!!

I’ve tried OCIS in a docker and just couldn’t get it to work properly. If you have a good tutorial please share!

My backup plan includes Backrest (restic) up to B2. So far so good!

I wish it was something that cool. I mean like when spinning up Immich. It makes separate containers for the server, redis, db,… etc.

Right now I have 32 active stacks running and a good number of them create at least one other container like a database. So I’m running around 60+ separate containers. The machine has maybe an i5 6500 or so in it with 32g of ram. I use unraid as the nas platform but I do all the docker stuff manually. It’s plenty fast for what I need so far… :)

I’m finding Linkwarden to be pretty helpful

95% of the time I’ll use the CLI but occasionally it’s faster for me to check a bunch of boxes in Portainer and restart entire stacks at the same time instead of going to each one’s folder. Maybe a few other little things like that but you get the idea.

I’ve loved using Backblaze B2 buckets. Been using them for years and it’s very reasonable. Many different backup titles can use them.

Not sure if this is a path you’d want to follow but I use it with Cloudflare tunnels.

I tried it a while back, maybe a month or two, and for some reason I couldn’t even get it to run. It’s not my first time using docker, I have almost 60 containers now, but for some reason something wasn’t clicking. I’m bummed b/c I really want to try it. I’ll revisit it again probably in the next month or two just to see if something has changed. Sorry I"m not more helpful.
