This is correct, I already installed the minio cli, but when I came back and read this, I tried it out and yes, once garage is running in the container, you can
alias garage="docker exec -ti <container name> /garage"
so you can do the cli things like garage bucket info test-bucket
or whatever. The --help
for the garage
command is pretty great, which is good since they don’t write it up much in the docs.
Thanks. I ended up going with Garage (in Docker), and installed the minio client cli for these tasks.
One I’m writing. I use the host file system (as I have a strong preference for simple) for it’s storage, but I’m interested in adding Litestream for replicating the database onto AWS.
Love the effort you’ve put into this question. You’ve clearly done some quality research and thinking.
When I asked myself this same question a couple of years ago, I ended up just buying a second hand Synology NAS to use alongside my mini-pc. That would meet your criteria, and avoids the (I’m not sure what magnitude) reliability risk of using disks connected over USB. It’s more proprietary than I’d like, but it’s battle tested and reliable for me.
I love this idea (of just picking something I’m loving each month), it would help me overcome my decision paralysis about who to support.
Yes, a few. Signal (daily use), LetsEncrypt & Certbot (EFF). It’s not enough.
One day I decided I’d spend $x every January (when I do all my other donations) on open source stuff I depend on, and roughly in the proportions I depend on them. It quickly became impossible - I can’t just fund Debian (which I use a lot of in VMs), I’d need to think of all their dependencies, same with NGINX, Node etc etc. The mind boggles.
I need something like a Spotify subscription for open source to assuage my guilt of the great value I extract for my personal use of open source.
I switched from Copilot to Codeium after only a couple of months of Copilot use - just based on the cost since currently I’m just a hobby coder.
The main difference I’ve noticed is that Codeium doesn’t seem as smart about the local context as Copilot. Copilot would look at how I’m handling promises in a project, and stick to that, whereas Codeium would choose a strategy seemingly at random.
A second, and maybe more telling example, is that I do my accounts using ‘plain text accounting’ in VS Code. This is a very niche approach to accounting software and I imagine is hardly in the training sets at all - there certainly would not be a lot of public domain text accounts in the particular format (BeanCount) I use in public code repositories. Codeium doesn’t make any suggestions for entries as I’m entering transactions, whereas Copilot would see that the account names I’m using are present in another file in the project and suggest them, and very quickly figure out the formatting of transactions and suggest them correctly.
The Debian thong made me laugh. Who is buying this? For themselves, their partners? I’m imagining Christmas morning when I’m trying to explain the value of this gift you’ve just opened.
I’m on iOS. I’ve been testing a beta of Jello that looks really promising, but as a beta has a bit of distance to go. I’ll check out Feishin though - thanks for the recommendation.
I’d love Jellyfin to turn out to be the solution, but I suspect it’s not, at least yet.
I’ve got three of these little 1L HP’s, one for production, a spare, and one for development. But really, it’s a small load - that list would happily run on an old nuc. The constraint is really memory which I’ve mostly addressed by moving from VMs to LXCs. And I could be even more efficient by just running all the docker containers on one host if I had to.
Storage for media and backups is a Synology NAS.
I still have not landed on a music system. I’ve put some of my library on Jellyfin, and tried a couple of apps with, but haven’t hit on a good combination yet. [edit:formatting}
This, or two turnbuckles joined at the top point with a couple of links of chain.
I read somewhere that GoPros and other action cameras are one of the least used purchases, so I figured “that should mean there’s plenty on eBay”. So grabbed up second hand bargain, played around with it for a couple of weeks, bought some extra batteries and other accessories, and since then it’s sat in the cupboard except for a single occasion.
Turns out you don’t need an action cam if you’re not getting any action.
Or SyncThing + Filebrowser
Absolutely Tailscale - I use it for this exact situation of Syncthing from my NAS. Simple to set up, and secure.
My Dad gets confused trying to make a call on his phone, but he can say “Alexa, call Third Breakfast”.
We have an emergency button to go around his neck, with an monthly phone plan, which seems to permanently live on the kitchen bench…
For anyone without the inclination to wade through 47 pages, here’s what they say about HTMX, which they’ve classified as “Assess” rather than “Trial” or “Adopt”
htmx is a small, neat HTML UI library that recently became popular seemingly out of nowhere. During our Radar discussion, we found its predecessor intercooler.js existed ten years ago. Unlike other increasingly complex pre-compiled JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks, htmx encourages the direct use of HTML attributes to access operations such as AJAX, CSS transitions, WebSockets and Server- Sent Events. There’s nothing technically sophisticated about htmx, but its popularity recalls the simplicity of hypertext in the early days of the web. The project’s website also features some insightful (and amusing) essays on hypermedia and web development, which suggests the team behind htmx have thought carefully about its purpose and philosophy.
Thanks, I ended up going with Garage, but it has the same issue. I assumed I could just specify some buckets with their keys in the docker-compose or garage.toml, but no - they had to be done through the api or command line.
