@magnus919 or you can use Mastodon API to retrieve your toots and save them as markdown files in the #GoHugo content folder. See: deuts.org/∞

Why Obsidian integrates better with #MkDocs than #GoHugo?

  1. MkDocs is really built for documentation (and notes), whereas Hugo are primarily for blogs
  2. Linking your notes in Obsidian translate into correct link in the output html files in MkDocs, whereas in Hugo you need to use rel or relref shortcodes.

I give up trying to install #GetOutline. Between the database, Redis, environment variables, OAuth setup, and file permissions, there are just too many dependencies at play. Even when it seems like everything is configured correctly, something always refuses to work. Self-hosting shouldn’t be this complicated. 😩

Docker DB Backup

Backup multiple database types on a scheduled basis with many customizable options.
Stumbled upon this when checking out Flarum. Perhaps I can use this to several of my MySQL/MariaDB and Postgres containers.

Install Flarum Forum

Flarum is a brilliantly built, light-weight, powerful forum software that may just be perfect for your community.
I’ve always wanted a forum for my several communities. The problem – no one wants to use it. But leaving it here in case I need to install one.

Markdown in #BookStackApp is too limited, I think I should stick to WYSIWYG instead moving forward. Some features I’m missing with just Markdown:

  1. Callouts
  2. Footnotes

I think I need to revisit #BookStack as a documentation platform. One thing good it has going is its granular access control capability. #BookStackApp

Guide: Obsidian with free, self-hosted, instant sync

I’ve been using Obsidian with the LiveSync plugin by vrtmrz for over a month now and not counting the Arr stack, this plugin is without a doubt, the single-best self-hosted service that I run on my server. I use it multiple times a day and at this point I can’t live without it. So I decided to contribute back to the community, which has taught me so much, by sharing my experience and also writing a detailed guide. I found that most guides gloss over crucial steps, but then again I rarely know what I’m doing, so take my guide with a pinch of salt.
I’m still over the edge if I should go this route or continue with my current setup: syncing everything via Resilio Sync across my different VPS and my mobile apps.

GitCMS

Git-based and headless CMS for Astro, Next.js, Hugo, Jekyll, Eleventy, Gatsby, etc.
This is not self-hosted, and actually involves a price tag, but looks interesting nonetheless.
