I don’t think it’s a no go, but since I haven’t figured out DNS over HTTPS for my AGH instance, I don’t want to replace her default DNS to another.

That’s what made me install Adguard Home, just so that I could bypass my hairpin DNS issue. There are still things that don’t work and I haven’t found the time to fix those, but for me at least, Immich works the same inside and outside the house! (My gf uses /e/OS and her DNS overrides Adguard Home which is a shame, but that’s in the list of "doesn’t quite work perfectly")

I changed versions recently to be safe, but the old watchtower was still working when I gave it up. Just because it’s unmaintained doesn’t mean it stops working from one day to the next.

Ouh! I have a checklist of things I need to add/update too, that I never check. Maybe we could mutualize! ;)

The theory is I use Docmost. The reality is I don’t, and I hope my backups are solid.

Just as a reference, my NUC with 40+ containers, runs at around 3-4 W, not counting the 2,5" 5400 rpm HDD attached.

I know SQL and I can pull some faraway memories of PHP to create a web interface (or Python, but I’ve only ever used it for data analysis)

But it’s a far cry between using something off the shelf and developing something from scratch, especially when on company time when it’s not supposed to be your job (and you’ll be told to use the shitty existing tools instead of taking the time necessary to create something custom).

As for Excel, sure it’s an option, but there’s also data conflicts and overwritten version and all those pesky things.

It’s not as bad as others, but not having access to the survey view is a downer for usability.

Plus the fact that I can’t seem to successfully deploy the v2.1.6 docker image…

I have no VPS but a home server and Uptime Kuma can’t help me if it’s down. So I just set up healthchecks.io + Pushover via a cron job that runs on the server and I can confirm that it works! Tested yesterday after a citywide blackout 😵‍💫

Simply the fact of having 70+ users. There’s also the number of records, but that may be a non issue (for now).

I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this, especially for advanced search, everything else is quite basic, indeed.

 

Hi,

I selfhost a lot of tools for personal (and professional) use, so this surprised me, but maybe I am missing something regarding simple tools that are "open source enough" for relational databases.

My (small, broke) company has a problem with tools, and I figured that open source would be the answer, but if I look at the usual suspects that would allow for a simple way to create/update/sort/search clients and missions, that everyone could use, everything seems either very limited or very expensive (or both!).

I looked at the pricing for Baserow, Grist, NodoDB, Nocobase, and for 100 users and 5000 rows, it means around 12 000 euros per year to get something usable. And the open source selfhosted versions are quite limited everytime. I saw someone rage about open core some months ago, but never realized how true this was.

The only thing that seems truly open source (and a lot more limited than the others) is Mathesar. Maybe it will be good enough. There isn't much content about it, I will have to look at the documentation to get a better feeling of what it can offer.

Is there some truly open source no code relational database tools around? Enough to create rows, have advanced (AND OR) search, and a tag system to look for "all clients in country X with type of mission Y in sector Z in 2024" or "all missions for clients A or B"

For those wondering, of course we have a tool to manage missions, clients, billing, etc. but it is truly awful, and I was hoping to propose something simple to manage search of past references, but nothing seems as easy as I thought it would.

I love the fact that your example of a "small-ish" homelab is way more overpowered than mine. Because my entire 40+ containers homelab runs off of a 13 yo NUC with a 10+ yo HDD and a (new!) SSD plugged into it. I regularly want to replace it by a more recent NUC but… there is not good reason, yet.
