have you tried hubzilla? its multipurpose.

Authentik! i’ve been using it since over a year and its been a wonderful experience. supports many protocols and is updated regularly, as a beginner i didnt have difficulty setting it up, has decent documentation for integrations.

I have a similar tv box running on rk3328. You’ll need to flash the rom and put armbian on it. Search by model and you’ll find some guide on armbian forums. Mine had 4gb ram but uses only about 600mb running my hubzilla server on docker. And 30gh storage is decent for small projects.

I went with alpha, beta, gamma …

The following for reading and listening:

• NPR Podcasts
• The marginalian
• Aeon Magazine
• JSTOR Daily
  and some youtube channels, research journals, subreddits.

i subscribe to the release page of the repo in my rss reader. simple and effective.

always the same story :(

I’ve been using hubzilla for this, its a mix of blog/social network/cms.

@whoareu cloudflare tunnel can easily help you do that. the only limitation is your domain will need to be from cloudflare. It works well, I am hosting an instance without any public IP and without exposing any ports.

If not a Pi, try to go for those (used)mini PCs, they will allow you a bit more power than a Pi and cost just about the same. Then get docker on it and you’re all set for easy deployments.

And look up homelab youtubers, they have some good tutorials for beginners. thats where i started. Jim’s garage would be my recommendation, especially his older videos about hardware, security and networking basics. You will need to learn these to keep things secure.

@Know_not_Scotty_does same experience with toshiba, have been using a 3tb drive for the past 10 years and its still going strong!

I use homeassistant with frigate. detection, alerts and recording, it supports it all and the mobile client is useful to monitor it remotely.

I’ve been using mailcow for about a year and i am very satisfied, it checks all your boxes and is easy to configure and deploy over docker.

@0x0 headscale/tailscale. I have a VPS that gives me a public IP so i use that to host a headscale control plane.

Public services: my social network(hubzilla), Email(mailcow), Matrix chat, Peertube.

Private: my media (jellyfin, audiobookshelf, calibre, homeassistant.

I enjoy the freedom that comes with this and its like having your own home on the internet. I have a very modest setup but its enough to host my friends and family so nothing fancy like k8s. Just a refurbished optiplex running docker :)
