Are there any a|ternatives to n8n?

Or Circles from Google+.

This is cool but for self-hosting you probably want a more robust monitoring system capable of alerting at all times. Prometheus is what I use. It also gathers data over time and can monitor many machines.

Right, the flexibility angle makes sense if using a typical root fs like Ext4 with or without LVM. That’s a reason I’ve always kept the OS separate. But with ZFS there’s unlimited flexibility. Separate datasets or volumes within the same storage pool are trivial. I could do root on ZFS on separate SSDs and get those benefits but it’s more complicated that slapping it all in a single pool. Then maybe use the SSDs for cache. :D

That’s odd because the clients are just web apps I think. That should work without crashing on a stable OS. I use them on Android mobile and Android TV with extensive subtitle usage and haven’t seen instability.

A funny thing I noticed is that the client distributed in F-Droid is extremely old even though it says it’s updated recently.

I switched from a heavily used Plex server with about 10 users to Jellyfin with the samw usage patterns abour half a year ago. So far it’s been pretty smooth sailing. A better world is possible!

Can confirm it’s the truth.

It’ll probably be great. That’s pretty much giaranteed based on the physics. That said, if you already have a mesh that has good connectivity, an antenna like this would probably just reduce the latency a bit. If you have latency-sensitive applications. I use an HA Yellow with its built-in Zigbee radio. It only reaches 5-10m. Everything after that is connected through the mesh.

Never had it. Z-Wave needs a differrnt antenna and since they’re using full-size antennas for these devices, the Z-Wave one is significantly larger so it’s a separate device.

Got the module some years ago when there were massive shortages. I found a couple CM4s and bought them at the time.

What are you comparing it to?

You’re supposed to set SQM lower than the WAN throughput. I think you’re right that by default it limits it by about 10%. There was some study over a decade ago on this that showed 20-25% limit is best for maximizing responsiveness under load. It’s not possible to effectively schedule packets if there’s no headroom.

I have a few Pi 4 + UE300 routers in operation that work just as well but this is a nice alternative if you have a CM4 lying around.

I don’t think so, not by DFRobot at least. That said, I think 2.5G is only useful for >1G internet connections. On the LAN side, the switch is what matters for LAN throughput.

ZFS. It runs on whatever RAM you give it.

The organization has already transitioned to a nonprofit in the U.S. but is still working to set up a nonprofit in Belgium, or an AISBL, to replace the German entity, which lost its nonprofit status last year. Once established, the Belgian nonprofit will be the future home of the organization. In the meantime, the U.S.-based 501©(3) c nonprofit will own the trademark and other assets.

Very important step.

As someone who’s done cloud infrastructure professionally, this is the right way to make a project for setting up self-hosted applications. Not writing a bunch of bash scripts and putting them behind some web UI. We have well established infrastructure/config-as-code systems that are the gold standard which runs most clouds out there. Ansible is one of them. That’s the right tool for this job and a ton of professionals understand it and therefore can easily contribute improvements for the ones who don’t to use. I’m unfortunatrly invested in SaltStack but I wouldn’t feel worried to deploy a (well reviewed) project built on Ansible. Then slap a web UI on it if you like but that should be another project that hooks uses this one.

Yes, but self-hosting does whatever the HOWTO, YouTube vid or AI slop the user follows tells them to do. If the user doesn’t know the basics, how could they know what an instruction for activating UPnP does or opening a NAT port does and why that might expose their data? Laymen don’t even understand what making theie stuff publicly accessible means. It might simply mean “Yay I can access my stuff on the go.” 😄

If on the other had the user learns the basics, they can tell when a doc instructs them to do something dangerous and they can do something about it to avoid disaster.

You bury your lede by mentioning “your project” at the end.

Basically means the user has to trust that project to do the right thing and be maintained to keep their setup secure.
