I’m not smart, can you tell me if having it behind a reverse proxy with certs and everything fixes any of these flaws?

I’m a fan of Dockge. Nice simplicity, easy to update container stacks, etc. etc.

It looks like the hEX refresh is the same price from that vendor.

RB5009 is better but more expensive. There’s a PoE version that can power your WiFi APs in the future.

I also question the decision to put OpenWrt on it. RouterOS is solid. There’s a learning curve, but it’s worth it if you’re a nerd.

A while back, the docker installation instructions just had “lemmy:latest” as which version to pull. The Lemmy devs aren’t the brightest, and the beta versions are included as “latest”. Now the instructions have you put the specific version to pull, like “0.19.10”.

I wonder if that’s what happened?

From the GUI go to Datacenter - Notifications. Add a Notification Target of the Webhook type. Mine looks like this:

See the ntfy documentation for different types of authorization, tags (emojis), etc.

Then edit the default Notification Matcher and enable your new target.

By default I get notifications of successful/failed backup jobs. I want to set something up for drive health using SMART, but I’m just sitting down to figure that out now.

Ah, I responded above thinking you already had ntfy set up. Ntfy is so cool, I definitely recommend taking a look at it. I use it for notifications from Home Assistant, Uptime Kuma, Proxmox, etc. There are other similar things out there like Gotify, but I seem to prefer ntfy.

I think if you’re nerdy enough to self host stuff, you can definitely figure out LubeLogger. You don’t have to use all aspects of it… you can just use it for tracking gas mileage if you want.

If you want it to keep track of maintenance like oil changes and stuff, you have to add them manually and tell it how often you want them done.

For tracking gas mileage and maintenance reminders, all you need are 3 tabs - Service Records, Fuel, and Reminders. You can ignore everything else.

I responded to someone below. Hope it helps.

Since there’s no native ntfy notification built in to LubeLogger I figured out a way to do it using Node-RED. If you don’t have Node-RED set up, It’s pretty great for automating things. I mostly use it for Home Assistant. There’s certainly a way to accomplish this without Node-RED, but I would have no clue where to start.

The basic idea of the flow attached below is:

1. Schedule when you want notifications (I like being reminded on monday, wednesday, and friday at 8am)
2. Have Node-RED pull the maintenance reminders, which are available in JSON format
3. Do some filtering and splitting of the data, narrowing the reminders down to Past Due, Very Urgent, and Urgent (ignoring everything that doesn’t need attention).
4. Feed the filtered data into templates – different templates for each level of urgency. This adds some complexity, but I like it.
5. Bring everything back together, format it into something that ntfy.sh likes, and then fire the notification.

You’ll of course have to go through and change settings in each node to match your LubeLogger URL and vehicle ID’s, and preferred ntfy server and topic. You can also add your username/password for LubeLogger and ntfy (or a bearer token, if that’s what you have set up with ntfy).

Node-RED flow

If you’re not familiar with Node-RED, you’d import the above JSON and edit it from there. Stuff “flows” through nodes, stopping and doing what you tell it along the way.

I love LubeLogger. I’ve totally switched both my and my wifes cars to it for tracking gas mileage and maintenance.

If anyone would like, I can share how I got ntfy notifications working with it for maintenance reminders.

Good news, they just released v1.130.1

I finally figured out how to get the terrain stuff going on my Wanderer. Super cool!

Now I’m trying to figure out my future workflow… can you shed some light on it?

Currently everything I upload is its own “Trail”. This goes for the Strava integration, as well as me just uploading a GPS track.

Trails are nice because they all show up on the Map, making a cool overview of everything I’ve done. Obviously over time this might bog down the system when viewing the map.

Trails aren’t included in the statistics, which is a bummer.

So, I played around with moving each of my activities into broader “trails”, based on where the activity took place. I think that’s probably how Wanderer is supposed to be used, because when I move activities from being a “Trail” to being a “Summit”, they are counted in the statistics.

The only downside to that is they don’t appear on the map, unless you click the specific Summit.

So, basically, my question is – should I just accept the fact that I should move everything into being a Summit, so I can enjoy the statistics?

Thanks!

Are you thinking of Lemmy? OP had it on their Matrix chat server.

I’m the one who files the most bug reports on github under a different name. Our instance runs on Lemmy Schedule, so thanks!

I used Portainer for a while and still like it for checking out networking stuff, but try out Dockge! It’s more open sourcey and basic, but makes updating easier.

It’s great. You can subscribe to all sorts of stuff including Lemmy communities if you want. You just have to be a little nerdy to get it set up.

I used to use Google Feeds (I think that’s what it was called?) until they shut it down. Then I switched to Feedly. I think both of those had some “discovery” functionality so normal people could just search for something and follow it. You have to find your own RSS feeds with FreshRSS but it’s still great. I use Read You as an Android app.

I use gmail. You just have to set up an “app” password. I always have to search for how to do that, but once you have an app password you’re off and running.

I also just started hosting my own nfty and have been moving as much as possible to that. So far I’ve replaced two email notifications with push notifications, which is nice.

The Google account is still there, I’ve just hidden each of those calendars. New events seem to default to whichever calendar you used last (citation needed) so once you’ve created an event under the NextCloud account, it should default to that. The app I use (Business Calendar Pro) doesn’t even give the option if a particular calendar is disabled.

As far as DAVx⁵, the default is to only sync every 4 hours. Phone to NC is instant (once DAVx sees the change), but NC to Phone has a delay. However!..

I just set up the ntfy app to create instant two way sync both ways. It’s pretty slick. Dig around in the DAVx⁵ documentation about how that works. You install the DAV Push app on the NC server, ntfy on your phone, enable UnifiedPush in the DAVx settings, do a little dance, and then NC notifies DAVx every time there’s a change.

Edit: you can also delete calendars from Google Calendar settings on the web, but this is obviously permanent. I think you can also totally remove Calendar from your account.

Edit2: You can’t remove calendar from your account, only delete individual calendars.

In a web browser I use the NextCloud one. It’s functionally very similar to Google and I like it a lot.

For our Android phones, my wife uses the Google Calendar app, and I like Business Calendar Pro.

Both apps you just have to go into the settings once DAVx⁵ has done the initial sync and uncheck all of the Google calendars so they aren’t shown, and check the boxes next to the new Calendars.

Exporting and Importing I could only really easily do via the web browser for both.

A couple of days ago, after testing it myself for a few months to make sure I understood how everything works, I made the switch to NextCloud Calendar, and will no longer use Google Calendar.

This is the best part though… I somehow convinced my wife to do the same. She let me install the NextCloud app(optional for Calendar stuff but makes the setup easier) and DAVx⁵ on her phone (both from F-Droid, so DAVx⁵ was free). I exported and imported her calendar, and made sure the notifications were set up to her preferred default.

It’s multiple days later, and she hasn’t complained!

I’ve also moved all of my contacts over to NextCloud, but have yet to coerce my spouse to do the same.
