My personal notes about using FreedomBox and self-hosting applications


Tips and Tricks

Software

  • Backup TT-RSS RSS feeds list (the opml file) to a Syncthing folder.
  • Matrix Synapse works for voice and video calls over LAN. It seems to be P2P.
  • Use Syncthing with Orgzly/Emacs for writing lists.
  • Use Mediawiki for taking notes as I'm doing right now and as a personal knowledge base.
  • Tiny Tiny RSS web UI is unpalatable for people used to things like Medium, but the Android app is really good.
  • Follow medium blogs using Tiny Tiny RSS without having to create an account.
  • Use Privoxy for ad-blocking on all the Android devices on the Wi-Fi by setting it as a proxy.

Hardware

  • Make sure the device is getting adequate power supply (e.g. 2 Amp for a Raspberry Pi) or the performance will suffer.

Unsupported Software

  • NextCloud
    • comes with automatic updates
    • can play a lot of multimedia formats and display epub files
