I’ve recently discovered Open Archiver in a (German) YouTube video, which allows you to archive your emails from various different email providers. It seems to be still a very new project, but it looks promising to me. And it’s completely open source.

From self-hosting notes
I recently wanted to move away from Apple’s Notes app, since it doesn’t allow storing the actual notes anywhere als than iCloud. So I started a journey regarding self-hosting my notes …

Replaced Numbers with something completely different
I used to use Numbers usually only to track my spendings for my side business to get a quick overview when doing my taxes. All the back and forth with Apple Creator Studio now let me change that.
Now, I’m using InvoiceShelf to track the expenses there. It’s self-hosted and thus I’m in full control of the data. And I can add nice analytics of this data, where it was only a list before.

Home Assistant Proximity vs. iCloud3 v3 vs. Traccar
I recently stumbled upon the Proximity integration of Home Assistant as well as Traccar to track your devices. Until now, I used the iCloud3 v3 component to do such things. Time to compare them.

Migrated away from Audible
I used to use Audible, because it was convenient and cheap for single audiobooks. Now, I migrated away from it by using Libation – a great project to download Audible content – Jellyfin for managing the audiobooks, and BookPlayer on iOS, the latter came through a suggestion from @simon@dewp.space.
Absolutely recommended. Especially the app is so much faster than Audible, which takes ages to even display anything. And way less battery-consuming.

Updated Baïkal and self-host contacts
I used the Sunday morning to upgrade my Baïkal instance to version 0.11.0 (if you experience issues with the MySQL connection afterwards, make sure to add the new required configuration entry
mysql_ca_certto your config).And I also used it to enable CardDAV (previously I solely used it as calendar via CalDAV) and moved all my contacts from iCloud to my own server. This was not as easy as first thought, since importing a list of vCards in the macOS “Contacts” app won’t sync all of them. I ended up using my iPhone to import all of my contacts to my own server.

Self-hosting slash page is official 🎉
Yesterday, during the 6. KrautPress Website Club, we talked about my new self-hosting slash page. The idea spun up to make it official, so I firmly asked @robb@social.lol whether he would include it and just a few hours later, it’s now officially part of slashpages.net. 🥳
So: let’s spread the word, share your self-hosted software and show me your self-hosting software!
By the way, if you need inspiration, check out awesome-selfhosted and selfh.st.

Self-hosting slash page
I’ve added a custom slash page to my site: Self-hosting
Why? I find it interesting what people use for self-hosting and I’m always happy if I find something new others use.

Testing OpenCloud
I recently discovered OwnCloud Infinite Scale, but couldn’t find much information about the installation, etc., even though it sounded interesting (building OwnCloud from scratch in Go sounds promising instead of using PHP, as the old version and also NextCloud do).
Fast forward to this week, I stumbled upon OpenCloud, a fork of OwnCloud Infinite Scale, with an easy to find documentation.
So, I now test it on my TrueNAS Community, whether it can replace my current Seafile solution. So far, it probably can.
