Cool, but is there any reason to use this over Searx?

No, mostly because Google Search is just terrible. The app itself is great.

At least with Searx you can search multiple private search engines (your preference) at once. You can also selfhost it.

Hmm, not sure if it’s lesser known, but Actual Budget is pretty neat. I pay for SimpleFIN to get transactions and whatnot, and it has been awesome to keep track of my finances.

ComradeMiao@lemmy.world on 02 Dec 20:50 next collapse

Did you try Firefly as well? Why AB? Thanks for the recommendation and SimpleFIN looks great.

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works on 02 Dec 20:59 collapse

Firefly

Nope. I found AB and saw that they had experimental support for SimpleFIN, which supports financial institutions in my country (USA), and it was cheaper than my old, non-selfhosted solution (Tiller). SimpleFIN provides a pretty simple API, so there’s no reason Firefly couldn’t support it as well (and there’s an issue for it).

I also really hate PHP, so the fact that Actual Budget is written in node.js is a plus.

apprehensively_human@lemmy.ca on 02 Dec 22:38 collapse

I bounced off of Actual when I realized how clunky its goal templating is. I want to be able to have all my categories fill in a single click but the goal templates are hidden behind an experimental feature.

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works on 02 Dec 22:48 collapse

Yeah, it’s not perfect, but it works well enough to get what I wanted: see unexpected expenses from my vast array of credit cards. I’ve caught fraudulent transactions my bank didn’t, so that’s nice.

I don’t actually do strict budgeting with it, I mostly just want to see generally where our money is being spent, and I prefer to keep those transactions as private as possible (well, outside of my banks selling my transaction data to data brokers, that is…).

apprehensively_human@lemmy.ca on 02 Dec 22:56 collapse

Ah. Yeah I’m trying to find an alternative to YNAB since they keep upping their annual fees but the service works so well for me that the price is probably worth it anyway.

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works on 02 Dec 23:04 collapse

Yup, probably.

But hey, there are free options (Actual and Firefly), so there’s no harm in trying them out. If you can replicate your setup in YNAB, you might just save yourself some money. But definitely don’t ditch it until you’ve gotten everything set up first.

paradox2011@lemmy.ml on 02 Dec 21:31 next collapse

I’ve been wanting to spin this up myself, but the fact that the Dev says his example docker-compose.yml is incomplete has stopped me in the past. Did you have to add anything to get it functional?

BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world on 02 Dec 19:25 next collapse

Not useful on its own but sablierapp.dev was really useful for me in getting back resources from some of the heavyweight containers I use. For those unfamiliar with it, Sablier can stop containers that go idle and then spin them back up automatically when a request comes in. It requires Traefik, NGINX, or Caddy running always so it could complicate your server but for me I couldn’t do without it.

HotChickenFeet@sopuli.xyz on 02 Dec 23:45 next collapse

This sounds quite interesting!

shaserlark@sh.itjust.works on 03 Dec 04:56 next collapse

So would this work well e.g. with the the *arr stack? Because most of the services wouldn’t even need to run always

BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 06:32 next collapse

It probably would work well with those as long as the startup time was quick (my containers come up almost instantly) and the initiating clients can handle a bit of latency. I didn’t notice any hiccups in my use at all.

AustralianSimon@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 06:52 collapse

How would the timed tasks be handled if they’re offline

filcuk@lemmy.zip on 03 Dec 16:53 collapse

I believe this can integrate with various reverse proxies and trigger on-demand?

BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 18:08 collapse

Right. When a request comes in, Traefik, for one, will hold the connection until the service is back up then forward the request as usual. This works for UIs as well. You’ll get a temporary loading page then redirected to the requested UI when the service is up.

Why did you pick N8N over Node-RED?

filcuk@lemmy.zip on 03 Dec 16:49 next collapse

Haven’t tried node, so I’m interested to hear as well, but n8n is super easy to set up, and I like the interface.
I’ve looked at node multiple times in the past, and I remember finding no reason to switch.

Ugurcan@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 17:57 collapse

Node-RED requires enough technical knowledge that it becomes not easier, but harder than writing JS code when things go medium size. N8N is superior in UX.

Also although I greatly appreciate everyone’s efforts, I don’t want to rely on community plugins that require maintenance and may or may not abandoned after it’s developer loses interest/move on with their life. TBH NPM is brimming with those.

I use ntfy.sh for a lot of stuff and I don’t see anyone talk about it. I recently wrote a container to poll RSS feeds and send push notifications via ntfy github.com/chunkystyles/rssToNtfy

mbirth@lemmy.ml on 03 Dec 16:14 collapse

I’m a lifetime Pushover user. As far as I can tell, ntfy isn’t using official push notifications whereas Pushover does. Also, ntfy has issues on iOS. That’s why I’m still running all my notifications via Pushover.

chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz on 03 Dec 19:05 collapse

I thought I replied to this earlier, but it seems like it didn’t take.

Pushover seems nice, but doesn’t seem to be self-hostable. It looks like there is a replacement service in the works called Overpush.

All I can say is that I don’t own any Apple products and never even looked at that section of their documentation. The Android and web clients work flawlessly, except that the Android client doesn’t support markdown.

mbirth@lemmy.ml on 03 Dec 20:47 collapse

While it may work great, nothing beats using the manufacturer’s push notification channels in terms of reliability and battery consumption. At least from my experience. And that’s why Pushover is still kicking around after so many years…

chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz on 03 Dec 22:09 collapse

Ntfy, if setup correctly, uses a web socket connection, which reduces the battery usage. I don’t think I ever had it setup without that, so I can’t say how bad it is. But with it, it’s not a drain for me on a Pixel 7.

node815@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 23:20 collapse

I use Gotify I self host it and it uses an app on my Android, super easy to set up and use. I tie in Home Assistant and a few other setups with it and it runs great.

chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz on 04 Dec 01:48 collapse

That looks very similar to ntfy. I googled “gotify vs ntfy” and found this thread on reddit (ew, I know) reddit.com/…/difference_between_ntfy_and_gotify/

Con: User separation. A user can create “apps” (channels), and will receive messages posted there. Users will not receive messages posted to apps they didn’t create. I haven’t yet found a way to create shared apps, or allow multiple clients to receive notifications for a given message, and I don’t want to share client logins.

Now, this thread is 3 years old, so I don’t know if this is still the case, but this is a deal breaker for me. Several of the topic I have for ntfy are also subscribed by my wife, meaning we both get the notifications. I could just post the same message to two different topics, but that would be lame.
