Hey everyone! I'm sort of still green for selfhosting, but I wanted to share my setup so far:

The following services are selfhosted in docker

• Audiomuse (smart music tagging, mood based and all that)
• Navidrome for music hosting
• Jellyfin for TV shows (not a lot) and Films (not a lot again, but steadily increasing)
• Radicale for serving contacts/TODOs/calendar
• SFTPGo to act as my drive
• Kavita for ebooks and manga (I have tons of both)
• Glance for homepage
• forgejo for git forge hosting

The system specs are kind of visible in the homepage, so I won't spell them out here again. Mostly an old optiplex running arch, though I want to change it to nixos later on.

System tools:

• nushell for shell
• calibre for ebook management and tagging + fanficfare plugin to download fanfictions
• Caddy for reverse proxy (so I don't have to remember ports)
• netbird for VPN (also because it allows me to set wildcard DNS resolution for nodes, so I don't have to set up a dedicated pi-hole or adguard)
• Handbrake and ffmpeg for processing videos and such
• beets for tagging music
• a sysinfo script to generate system information for glance to consume
• Probably other things too, I'm forgetting

Everything is accessible only via netbird, and external inbound connections are firewalled off

Apart from that, I eventually plan on adding the following as well:

• Immich for photo hosting
• Vaultwarden for passwords
• Gollum (still debating on alternatives) for a webUI for my notes
• Paperless-NGX

I'm still thinking on more that I can add. Note that whatever I add should not need an inbound connection/stable IP address, since I don't intend to expose the server to the public. Any suggestions/tips? Thanks!

UPDATE: Forgot to add, I'd probably add homebox too, for inventory management 😅

UPDATE 2: I'm silly, I forgot that I'm also looking into self-hosted RSS feed readers 😆

Pretty much the title. Please bear with me, since I'm sort of a beginner 😅

I am trying to use nixpak to sandbox iamb, but for whatever reason, it doesn't start up and run properly. Here's the relevant section of the config

environment.systemPackages = [
      (mkNixPak {
        config = { pkgs, sloth, ... }: {
          app.package = pkgs.iamb;

          bubblewrap = {
            network = true;
            shareIpc = false;
            dieWithParent = true;

            bind.rw = [
              [
                (sloth.mkdir (sloth.concat' sloth.homeDir "/Downloads/iamb"))
                (sloth.concat' sloth.homeDir "/Downloads")
              ]

              (sloth.mkdir (sloth.concat' sloth.xdgConfigHome "/iamb"))
              (sloth.mkdir (sloth.concat' sloth.xdgDataHome "/iamb"))
              (sloth.mkdir (sloth.concat' sloth.xdgStateHome "/iamb"))
              (sloth.mkdir (sloth.concat' sloth.xdgCacheHome "/iamb"))

            ];

            bind.ro = [
            "/etc"
            "/usr"
            # To mount the systemd resolution stuff and so on
            "/run/systemd"
            ];

            apivfs = {
              proc = true;
              dev = true;
            };

            bind.dev = [
              "/dev"
            ];

            tmpfs = [
              (sloth.mkdir "/tmp/iamb")
            ];

            env = {
                TERMINFO = "${pkgs.kitty}/lib/kitty/terminfo";
            };
          };

        };
      }).config.env
];

The full config can be found here

The following bubblewrap command works as-is on nixos, and doesn't lead to any errors whatsoever:

bwrap --ro-bind /usr /usr \
--ro-bind /etc /etc \
--proc /proc \
--ro-bind /home/innocentzero/.local/state/nix/profile /home/innocentzero/.local/state/nix/profile \
--ro-bind /nix/store /nix/store \
--ro-bind /run/systemd /run/systemd \
--dev /dev \
--tmpfs /tmp \
--unshare-all \
--share-net \
--die-with-parent \
--bind /home/innocentzero/.config/iamb /home/innocentzero/.config/iamb \
--bind /home/innocentzero/.cache/iamb /home/innocentzero/.cache/iamb \
--bind /home/innocentzero/.local/share/iamb /home/innocentzero/.local/share/iamb \
iamb

However, executing the nixpak wrapped iamb produces the following (including the control characters):

^[[?62;4;22;28;52c^[[6;25;11t^[[0n* Logging in for @innocentzer0:cyberia.club...

Any ideas/suggestions? I'm not sure how exactly to get this to work. From what I see in the nixpak module, the generated command should be about the same. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Supac - a declarative package manager written in Rust, scriptable in nushell

Supac is a declarative package manager written in Rust fully scriptable in nushell. It's meant to make it easy to use the native package managers in existing distros without going through the associated headaches of using Nix, while maintaining the ergonomics of structured data in nushell.

Currently supported backends are:

• Archlinux and derivatives
• flatpak
• cargo/cargo-binstall
• uvx (packages only for now)
• rustup toolchains

I daily drive it, and it works well. Feel free to give it a try!
