My personal notes about using FreedomBox and self-hosting applications
Tips and Tricks
Software
- Backup Tiny Tiny 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 Boostnote with Syncthing for note-taking and lists if Orgzly seems too weird. Boostnote has Github-flavored markdown.
- 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
- has a simple project-tracking tool similar to Trello
- can be a personal content server with streaming capabilities
