Ollama + OpenWebUI also can do this.

Just do Navidrome. It’s better anyway in a multitude of ways.

I use OLlama & Open-WebUI, OLlama on my gaming rig and Open-WebUI as a frontend on my server.

It’s been a really powerful combo!

Personally I just use Linkwarden. I’ve been meaning to make a PR to get the auto tagging working on PDFs, maybe someday.

Here’s the scolding Linus SHOULD have given Hellwig MONTHS ago.

I said it before and I’ll say it again. Martin was wrong, and got treated fairly. He threw tantrums and stirred drama instead of acting like a maintainer.

But. That didn’t make Hellwig right. He wasn’t right. He was way out of line and over his skis, being hostile for hostilities sake.

Unfortunately many rust programmers already have a sour taste in their mouth regarding Linux development, which is a huge loss for the progress of the project.

Martin was out of line.

Hellwig also was out of line and unnecessarily hostile.

Linus… Is the voice of reason? Though I would have preferred he rebuke Hellwig in the same breath.

It’s a strange 2025.

Super simple, I’ve made several integrations for ntfy this way. The result is less pretty but fully workable.

Pixelfed maybe? Depends on what part of those platforms you’re most interested in.

Maintenance is easier than you think. I “maintain” 40+ services by simply automatically updating them. And if that makes one stop working (very rare) I get an alert and fix it when I get time.

I use ansible for that, though you could more easily accomplish much the same with Watchtower.

The best thing you can do to increase your confidence in the data reliability is to invest in backups AND doing at least RAID-1 on a reliable check-summing filesystem like ZFS, which Proxmox supports easily out of the box.

I have ZFS and cloud based backups and I’ve never lost or corrupted data in over 10 years.

And personally, I don’t back up my movies/TV shows. The volume is too high to bother and with ZFS snapshots and reliability, and the high seas being what they are, most everything is (eventually) recoverable.

Expanding:

The distro uses moss as the default package management tool, blsforme for boot management, the LLVM/Clang 18.1.8 stack, and more Rust-based utilities. “As part of our efforts to modernize and strengthen the Serpent OS base, we’ve switched some components out for Rust alternatives: uutils-coreutils replaces coreutils, sudo-rs replaces sudo, ntpd-rs replaces timesyncd, and curl is built with rustls support (and hyper but this is being dropped upstream),” said Ikey Doherty.

On top of that, the GNOME edition features the Starship shell by default, along with the Zed code editor, Loupe image viewer, Resources system resource manager, and other Rust apps. Serpent OS also lets gamers install the latest Steam Client from the main repos.

The general idea is that you use it to take notes on research papers or websites (optionally though it’s Zotero integration), then when the time comes to write a technical paper, you can research from the comfort of your Zettelkasten, directly cite the research you took notes on and automate proper citations with BibTex, write in raw markdown if preferred, create tables natively, embed charts and graphs directly and properly track them using figure notation, do full layout templates in LaTeX, support LaTeX math equations, and a lot more.

Basically it solves the fragmentation problem researchers have had for a long time by integrating all the standards instead of trying to centrally replace them or declare them unnecessary.

I’ll also toss out Zettlr, which is ideal for technical/scientific writing and publishing. Massive displacement in the scientific/technical community pushing out the incumbent Google, Microsoft, and (gasp) raw LaTeX.

SHR (hybrid RAID) doesn’t really have a good open source alternative unless you’re game to try something bleeding edge like seaweedfs.

The most recommended strategy to replace this is to use snapraid + mergerfs, which absolutely does work and scales but has it’s own drawbacks, namely that it’s a lot more management, it lacks bitrot protection like big players such as ZFS (though SHR also lacks this from my understanding), and it’s offered protection is limited after files change.

In most cases I highly recommended biting the bullet and going with ZFS. It’s a world class solution. With your mix of drives you’d end up using ZRAID-10, which uses more disk space but is flexible to upgrade and offers superior data protection and performance. There are a few push button solutions for ZFS including Proxmox and FreeNAS.

If safety isn’t as important as storage space, stick with Xpenology.

Obsidian Live Sync plugin is a great combo of self hosted and offline/local.

The “real meaning” of Christmas was getting the pagans on board with Christianity, don’t let anyone lie to you otherwise lol.

Linkwarden and Wallabag are both excellent. Omnivore is up and coming, but might still be difficult to selfhost.

I guess it depends on scale.
