Git repo

Convert Outlooks' horrendous .pst file to standard .vcf vCard and import to any vCard compatible client (your phone, radicale, thunderbird, etc.)

---

Why I made this?

I decided to move my whole org to ThunderBird to be free from forced proprietary formats. And I created this Java CLI app (Because Java had the java-libpst to work with PST files) to do it. I converted ~500 contacts successfully and we are free from Outlook at last.

---

This has worked for us, and I tried to make it as robust as possible. If you see any issues, please open an issue or PR.

LLM disclaimer: I used OpenCode + BigPickle to create this but I wouldn't call it vibecoded. I spent ~2 days on it so far and let the LLM help me. Hope it helps.

Hi guys! I've been self hosting for a while and been using am 2 tb HDD I bought on aliexpress two years ago to host movies and series.. I bought a second drive to separate them and organize my media.

For 2 months everything went awesome but suddenly I started getting IO errors from my old drive. specially when I download and watch a movie at the same time.

Is my drive going die or could it be something else?

Dmesg showed these messages

[345778.390949] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#23 access beyond end of device

I/O error, dev sda, sector 3833662344 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x3000 phys_seg 1 prio class 2

The weird part is the sda device stops showing unless I turn the PC off and take the sata cables from it and restart the PC. Then I can watch movies for a while before getting this error again... Regular reboot does not work.

Like the question implies, I really want too get off of instagram. Its not the same space anymore, especially with the consistent push from Meta to use AI. Ive even made my profile private so those features don't automatically turn on. Its gotten crazy there.

Hi, I want to self host a git service to display my work (electronics) for some recruiters. Which platform is the best? I've heard about Gitlab, Gitea and Forgejo. For me the fact that the platform doesn't run some background analytics and does not sell my data is very important.

Has anyone managed to get multiple CalDAV calendars (e.g. personal and work) to send out event invite emails using corresponding email aliases from the same email account?

I have multiple domains and aliases set up with a single email account through an email provider, but I'm just now trying to figure out how to separate the calendar into personal and work.

I'm finally making a real effort to add beets to my life. I've been hesitant because I like what I like and I (mostly) know what I'm doing, you know? I also have a lot of local independent albums that are just not likely to get tagged anyway.

But here I am. Yesterday I was able to work through:

• Implementing my preferred directory structure and naming conventions
• Adding album art (embedded and in the folder)
• Embedding lyrics
• Adding ReplyGain information

I use Navidrome as my server and have a collection of about 2000 albums.

What are some of your tips for using beets?

What cool things are you doing?

What should I be thinking about as I go about this?

TLDR: The r/selfhosted subreddit has a Discord server. The owner's account got hacked leaving the server in a precarious state. They submitted a support ticket, but Discord has not taken action in weeks and probably won't at all, so they are considering starting a new Discord server.

I have been running crowdsec on my OpenWRT firewall for a bit now, I am just curious as to what others think about it?

Thank you @irmadlad the webui you suggested is showing the logs a lot better than my vibe coded HA plug ins (both my ssh honey pot and my plug in showed nothing) looking over the logs shows so much activity that is happening.

Hey folks!

I've started up a wiki for the community here, putting it up on Codeberg for easy access, edits, and forking if desired.

Right now you'll see only three pages:

• Home: A quick landing page and overview, with a link to external resources that matches the sidebar here.
• Glossary: Overview of terms~~, which I just realized has a few formatting goofs I'll be fixing shortly.~~ Edit: Fixed
• OS Choices: A review of how to choose your OS for self-hosting, or multiple if thats a better fit for your needs.

There is also a hidden _Sidebar.md, which is visible as a sidebar on the wiki. There you'll see the framework of what I'm setting up, and the links are put in only when the content is there.

A few notes:

• This is all my brain dump at the moment. I'm trying to keep personal opinions / slant out of it, but some things may still show up. Most likely unintentional, so it can be addressed if you see it.
• I use Kate for all of my editing, and the preview is.... eh not my favorite, so its absolutely possible for me to notice formatting snafus after a commit. As mentioned above. As always, you can feel free to comment, contribute, correct, etc.
• Codeberg wiki has a few... specific limitations, notably that everything goes into the same directory. Subdirectories are only for assets, so you may see names have a common theme, like "getting_started_WhateverTheActualPageIs". This is intentional for my sorting purposes to deal with how they handle things.
• I've seen someone here share their wiki for a user (who I'll be reaching out to), as I'd personally enjoy seeing members of our community featured as a resource. If you have a wiki you'd like to share, please send me a message. If the list gets lengthy, we can turn it into a link to a post called Community Member Knowledge Base or something.
• The repository above the wiki has things like the rules and sidebar contents, minus a few of the more recent things like the example post. I add there as I have time available, and a bit of a python script for a super basic bot will be there as well (to respond to [AIP] posts without a Disclosure, have to make a few fixes on that before it goes in)

After I get the getting started section complete, I'll add to the sidebar as a resource, but I wanted to put this out there if others wanted to contribute as well.

Edit: Kind of stretching the definition of "code", but I've added the tag since this is kind of a promo item.

Edit: Now with a hardware section - once I add in the writeup for services (at a getting started level) it'll be in the sidebar fulltime. A tomorrow task if I can swing it...

Build a fully self-hosted weather app, with support for PWA, automation routines, notifications and weather forecast voice assistant.

Bonjourno! I got a couple of domain names to register and I wanted to switch providers from google. I checked out a couple of the bigger ones like Cloudflare and Infomaniak but they're all asking me to upload a government photo id for security or whatever... I figured I'd ask around here to see what yall are using. I dont need anything crazy, mostly just the registration part. Bonus points for hosting dns with an api to manage records & what not but that part isnt necessary.

EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions! I really appreciate yall; This is why I love Lemmy. I ended up going with njalla. They got me when I read tgis on their about page:

Other organisations will brag about which customers they have. We brag about not telling who our customers are.

Hello,

I need some help troubleshooting. As per the title, I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3 with Debian bookworm kernel 6.12.93+rpt-rpi-v8 to host a local YunoHost server (12.1.40.1 stable) with the following apps:

• AdGuard Home (0.107.77)
• Baïkal (0.9.4)
• Grocy (4.6.0)
• Tiny Tiny RSS (2026.07.05)

Sadly, the server randomly crashes and can only be rebooted trough a hardware reset (pulling the plug).

Here are the last 50 lines of journalctl before the last crash: https://privatebin.net/?dbca869581c95573#83bk7W2CEPbeBGAXyg7wG8xLFhmGpwxBD9ReUaFphdCS

Here are the last 50 lines of journalctl before the crash before that: https://privatebin.net/?f7bdf2fd48ab12f7#9ZPh68rJ1p8JdzyLaGTXomZV4Lt7BhQFRYoXBKHMdKMb

I do not see anything troubling. The older journalctl read outs are equally bland. Do you have any advice on how to proceed?

So, I've finally gotten a comfortable setup for my beautiful podman quadlets, its a simple debian system, heavily systemd reliant, and I'm curious about how yall admin such a thing, I've got a couple of scripts to create users, skel the home directories, and templates for services.

I'm particularly curious about handling subids, I'm pretty careful about them and not using too too many, mostly for being afraid of running out of them lol. But from what I've seen, linux allows you to go real stupid with it, like having a shitton of range and entrances.

I personally give my quad users like 500 subids to work with and they generally work fine, it really depends on if I'm gonna have more than one service running on them or not.

google search results are still kind of useful especially for non-english language queries, anyone knows a good alternative?

searxng also doesn't really seem to work these days..

Hey everyone! There have been a bunch of comments lately, all basically the same with the same link, and all coming from lemmy . 1095 . me.

If you see a comment from an account there, please report it as spam and don't bother with a reply.

Hello all,

I'm hoping to get some advice on my self hosting environment. I currently run Proxmox VE with a few VMs, and use Proxmox VE's built in VM backup method to my NAS. I don't currently have a good backup method for the host server itself, and I know I'm playing with fire not having that properly backed up.

I have an older laptop that I'm considering turning into a Proxmox Backup Server, which should allow me to backup the host server and VMs, which would make me feel a lot better. The one thing I haven't really seen info on in my research is if there's a convenient way to backup THE backup server. If anyone uses PBS, do you back that up as well? How so?

I appreciate any assistance or advice!

I have a bunch of services running on my LAN, mostly from a single Debian machine. I access them at URLs like http://devicename.lan:portnumber. I would like to change to http://servicename.devicename.lan.

How it works now: The router (openwrt) sets a static IP per device and the port number is selected by the application or system unit running it.

What is the absolute simplest way to accomplish this? I don't mind if it is managed by the router or by the server machine itself. Hoping for something that can be configured with a text file or web interface or other basic mathod.

These sevices are private, just for me and I have no plans to ever access them externally. I have so far avoided any certificates or SSL or other stuff. I don't use docker and would rather not get into it right now. I like my domain name setup how it is with fake local domains.

Hoping this could be possible without making a whole project out of it.
