GitHub: EFForg / rayhunter: “Rust tool to detect cell site simulators on an orbic mobile hotspot” Kali: The Raspberry Pi’s Wi-Fi Glow-Up: I used to have a Pi running Kali, but since I wasn’t using it much I had wiped it.

GitHub: CervantesSec / cervantes: “Cervantes is an open-source, collaborative platform designed specifically for pentesters and red teams. It serves as a comprehensive management tool, streamlining the organization of projects, clients, vulnerabilities, and reports in a single, centralized location.” Not that I do much red-teaming, but seeing new tools & posts make me want to start digging into it more.

TrollRestore: Used this on my old iPad Air 2 since the previous attempts with Dopamine & TrollStore didn’t last more than 7 days. I think I did it backwards there anyway, so I’m hoping now that I used TrollRestore, then installed Dopamine through there, that it will be permanent. selfh.st: Self-Host Weekly (18 July 2025) GitHub: log-forge / logforge: “Real-time logs, Interactive terminals, Custom alerts/notifications, File system access.

Right now, I’ve been trying to keep an eye on things through Dozzle, but I don’t currently have any alerts or notifications if a container stops. iOS CFW Guide: Installing Dopamine I found an old iPad Air 2 of mine where the highest OS it can be upgraded to is 15.8.3. So to get some use out of it (pretty much plan to use it as a panel for the house or photo frame), i figured i would jailbreak it as well. I had to jump through a few hoops, but I think I’m in a good state now… TrollInstallerX isn’t compatible with the iPad Air 2 @ 15.8.3, so while I was able to use Sideloady to get it on there, all I saw was an “Unsupported” button instead of “Jailbreak”. So i used Sideloady to just directly load Dopamine, jailbreak through there & install Sileo & Zebra, installed TrollHelper to get TrollStore, then installed Dopamine from there… as I type this out I am fully expecting problems because of how many hoops I jumped through on this, but I guess we’ll find out in 7 days. As long as I can load my custom root certificate & visit internal sites, that’s all i really care about anyway.

GBATemp: How to Mod Your Nintendo Switch 2 (The Ultimate Totally Legit Guide) - Written by ChatGPT I’m going to have to see about the virtual game cards… I’m assuming it’s just digital games (which I would try to avoid & get the physical where possible), but will actually have to read up on that a bit more to see if I’m correct.

GitHub: badboysm890 / ClaraVerse: “Clara — Privacy-first, fully local AI workspace with Ollama LLM chat, tool calling, agent builder, Stable Diffusion, and embedded n8n-style automation. No backend. No API keys. Just your stack, your machine.” Running Ollama right now, but maybe this would be something to try. GitHub: [xtool-org] (https://github.com/xtool-org/)/ xtool: “Cross-platform Xcode replacement. Build and deploy iOS apps with SwiftPM on Linux, Windows, macOS.” Currently using XCode on macOS, but curious to see how this would run on non-macOS. rabbit.tech: How to get developer mode on rabbit r1 I haven’t used mine in ages, but thought it was interesting that they now allow this. Not that it appears to be all that popular though…: developers & moding zone TRMNL Gizmodo: Forget Tablets, This Hackable E-Ink Display Runs for Months and Syncs With 100+ Apps, Now Available to Order Engadget: Mozilla is shutting down its read-it-later app Pocket I was using this a few years ago, until I decided I didn’t want a service to have all my saved articles just for privacy, but also to not worry about the service being shutdown. I moved to just using a spreadsheet which wasn’t very smooth, then tried Linkwarden & Karakeep (formerly Hoarder), & settled on Karakeep. I didn’t realize Linkwarden was more of a bookmark-manager than a read-it-later service. docker compose \ Portainer \ Docker daemon issues… Only recently I’ve been running into some problems with rootless Docker where containers do seem to be running, except if I try to do anything via CLI on the server. I’m using Portainer (so maybe time for a change?) to manage containers & stacks a little easier, but when trying to run something like docker compose up -d --remove-orphans, I just receive an error about the connection: “Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///run/user/1000/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?” While typing this up & trying to give it one more shot, i might have gotten it working again. Short version is that it looks like it was because while trying to get the daemon setup to be accessed remotely (via client certificates), it was no longer listening on the local socket. I just edited the ~/.config/systemd/user/docker.service file to run on both the TCP port & local socket. Then things seem to be working again… 🤞🏻 selfh.st: Self-Host Weekly (23 May 2025) GitHub: immich-app / immich: v1.133.0 - The Hot Summer Release “New database vector extension”: Need to make a few changes to the docker-compose file that are listed in the release details. GitHub: operacle / checkcle: “CheckCle is a self-hosted open-source alternative to UptimeRobot, PagerDuty, Better Stack, and more — offering real-time server & service uptime monitoring, incident, multi-channel alerting.” I don’t really run any monitoring apps or containers, so maybe this is something I will look into. GitHub: intri-in / manage-my-damn-life-nextjs: “Manage My Damn Life (MMDL) is a self-hosted front end for managing your CalDAV tasks and calendars.” Probably overkill for the bit i use Nextcloud Calendar & Tasks, but maybe something fun to just try out. GitHub: sissbruecker / linkding: “Self-hosted bookmark manager that is designed be to be minimal, fast, and easy to set up using Docker.” I don’t know if i really need a bookmark manager vs. only a “read-it-later” app, but maybe something to look into. GitHub: novuhq / novu: “The open-source notification Inbox infrastructure. E-mail, SMS, Push and Slack Integrations.” Not using ntfy too much, so maybe something to change over to. GitHub: Efeckc17 / GoSync: “A secure file backup and synchronization application that uses SSH for remote file transfers. Features encrypted storage of credentials, automatic sync, and a modern UI. Built with Python and Qt.” Right now I’m kind of doing backups via Syncthing (just backing up config files & critical content, alot i would be okay losing), so maybe something a little more robust would be better. GitHub: profullstack / mcp-server: “A generic, modular server for implementing the Model Control Protocol (MCP).” I’m still trying to see how i can leverage AI locally to help with general day-to-day things & maybe optimize or refine some things in my homelab. OpenAlternative: Open Source Pocket Alternatives Since Firefox is shutting down Pocket, just curious to see what other recomendations there are. I’m already using Karakeep (formerly Hoarder), but open to try new things. GitHub: blinkospace / blinko: “An open-source, self-hosted personal AI note tool prioritizing privacy, built using TypeScript .” I’m always jumping between different note apps based on purposes, so seeing if this would contribute at all. I use DailyTxt, Joplin, Logseq, Obsidian for different tasks, so maybe blinko can be integrated or replace something I’m currently using. YouTube: Lawrence Systems: How I Use Syncthing for Real Time Backups CLI Notes A section for commands I might have used or found useful this week. Don’t judge… I’m more used to for loops in PowerShell, so I did have to double check how to do it in bash… will certainly make things easier for certain tasks going forward: for x in $(ls); do sha256sum $x; done

Miscellaneous I finally got TLS certificates working with the Docker API: Docker Docs: Use TLS (HTTPS) to protect the Docker daemon socket I just went with a separate CA from my SSL certificates instead of trying to get it working with Step-CA. # Client Key: openssl genrsa -out Homepage-client.key.pem 4096 openssl req -subj '/CN=Homepage-client' -new -key Homepage-client.key.pem -out Homepage-client.csr echo extendedKeyUsage = clientAuth > extfile-Homepage-client.cnf openssl x509 -req -days 365 -sha256 -in Homepage-client.csr -CA Docker_API-CA.pem -CAkey Docker_API-CA.key.pem \ -CAcreateserial -out Homepage-client.cert.pem -extfile extfile-Homepage-client.cnf I had to “reinstall” Docker on my rootless hosts for an unknown reason, but did finally get those working again: /usr/bin/dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh uninstall -f ; /usr/bin/rootlesskit rm -rf /home/smc/.local/share/docker /usr/bin/rootlesskit rm -rf /home/smc/.local/share/docker sudo apt-get purge docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin docker-ce-rootless-extras autoremove; autoclean sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker sudo rm -rf /var/lib/containerd sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list sudo rm /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc for pkg in docker.io docker-doc docker-compose docker-compose-v2 podman-docker containerd runc; do sudo apt-get remove $pkg; done # Add Docker's official GPG key: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc # Add the repository to Apt sources: echo \ "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ $(. /etc/os-release && echo "${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}") stable" | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin sudo systemctl disable --now docker.service docker.socket sudo rm /var/run/docker.sock dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install selfh.st selfh.st: Self-Host Weekly (16 May 2025) GitHub: glanceapp / glance: “A self-hosted dashboard that puts all your feeds in one place” GitHub: papra-hq / papra: “The minimalistic document archiving platform.” GitHub: gelbphoenix / autocaliweb: “📚 Web managing platform for eBooks, eComics and PDFs” GitHub: sinandredemption / kath: “Kath is a lightweight, retro-style, ephemeral chat app with a small twist: you can see what the other people in the room are typing in real-time.” GitHub: murtaza-nasir / maestro: “MAESTRO is an AI-powered research application designed to streamline complex research tasks.” GitHub: openconstruct / Peersuite: “Peer to peer workspace” GitHub: blinkospace / blinko: “An open-source, self-hosted personal AI note tool prioritizing privacy, built using TypeScript .” GitHub: dhop90 / homelab: “How I document my homelab” GitHub: glanceapp / glance: “A self-hosted dashboard that puts all your feeds in one place”
