Second this, I've been using them for a couple of years and the service is rock solid.

[Question] Self hosted setup for monitoring Self-hosted services? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] andy47@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

A similar solution but I use https://ntfy.sh/ I have the app on my phone and have it set to alert when jobs ping the service. Mine ping on success but it is possible to ping when the job fails as well.

I don't have strong opinions but I've been happily using Vimium for years

Synology DS215j NAS - time for an upgrade? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Agreed, if the box works for you I'd look at cycling out the drives - 10 years is a long time for spinning disks to last and every day is another day closer to a failure.

Err, I agree with the greed part. But the obligation to maximise profits is not true. A quick web search will bring up, e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/04/16/what-are-corporations-obligations-to-shareholders/corporations-dont-have-to-maximize-profits and many other sources. Companies can do whatever they like, as long as it's within the law. The fact that most choose to maximise profits at the cost of other things is entirely on them.

Simple guide to self hosted authentication? (lemmy.world)
 

I'd like to set up my identity and authentication service for my self hosted applications but it is not a beginner friendly subject.

I'm aware of the various tools available; authentik, authelia, LLDAP, keycloak, etc and see lots of useful discussions on them which is great.

But I can't seem to find a beginner friendly introduction to setting up one or more of these tools that helps me understand the core concepts at the same time. Does such a thing exist?

I'd like to try out LLDAP and Authelia on my home lab and then possibly roll this out to my production services.

But every tutorial I've come across seems to assume a fair amount of knowledge that I don't think I have.

For instance if I deploy LLDAP what should I use as my base DN? And how can I seperate a homelab directory from a seperate production directory?

Any pointers gratefully received.
