Yep. Glad he’s got a system that works for him, but as a solo dev I love my Forgejo. I self host it, (so no Trust issues) and if you’ve hosted any other services before, the setup is a simple Docker compose - so I’m not sure I accept the Heavyweight argument either.

It’s not my meme, but Men who stare at goats.

6 hours before: “This is fine”

It got enshittified. I went to use it one day and it wouldn’t work without creating an account.

Same - As an Insomnia refugee, I thought “Oh no, not this again” and felt foolish for evangelising it.

I like data, I like tech, I like investing large amounts of time and energy to self-host things that muggles would not bother with.

I mean, yes, I could. But I’m committed to the #selfhosted life where I spend hours building unnecessarily complicated systems to make my life easier in small ways.

I’m starting to think my commitment to the Apple ecosystem and my desire for self-hosting are at odds.

And simpler for us to help OP with.

The process for this is to obtain an EPS32 with bluetooth and wifi, pair it to the scale with bluetooth then keep it powered on in range of the scale, then the data goes into HA?

I have the opposite experience of this. All of my local services are a single docker container inside an LXC. I don’t like that it’s conceptually messy, but in practice it’s easy to manage. What I love about it is the simplicity of backing up or moving the entire LXC between servers.

I’ve not had any drama with things breaking across Proxmox updates. The only non-gui thing I need to do during the process is adding two lines to the LXC conf to have Tailscale work correctly.

It’s mind-bogglingly convenient, especially compared to the before times. Consider donating to them if you can.

No one’s mentioned Forgejo yet? Solid git and artifact repository.

+1 for the Seiko 5s. Love me a SNZG07J1

There’s lots of ways to skin this particular cat. My current approach is low powered Synology (j series?) for mass storage, then 1 litre PC’s running proxmox for my compute power using their NVME for storage, all backed up to the Synology.

Two good points here OP. Type docker image ls to see all the images you currently have locally - you’ll possibly be surprised how many. All the ones tagged `` are old versions.

If you’re already using github, it includes an package repository you could push retagged images to, or for more self-hosty, a local instance of Forgejo would be a good option.

Build anything small into a container on your laptop, push it to DockerHub or the Github package registry then host it on fly.io for free.

Great write up, thanks. For video learners, Wolfgang does a good step-by-step on YouTube

I’d love you to check back later with your conclusions.
