Yes, I was referring to the technical hurdles you have to jump to be able to participate in Gemini. Surely we want stuff like this to be participatory rather than passive read-only?

Mild is an understatement. It’s likely beyond the ability of most people to set up. To the extent it’s exclusionary.

Why is it “sus”? Isn’t it basically a bootloader for isos?

Thanks. I took another look at your documentation and decided to re-install everything. You’re right, I’d used the simple “test” compose script from your site. After a little trial and error, I got everything working properly with this:

services:
  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine
    container_name: journiv-redis
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /mnt/dietpi_userdata/docker-data/journiv/redis-data:/data
    command: redis-server --appendonly yes

  journiv:
    image: swalabtech/journiv-app:latest
    container_name: journiv
    ports:
      - "8111:8000"
    environment:
      - SECRET_KEY=XXX
      - DOMAIN_NAME=XXX
      - CELERY_BROKER_URL=redis://redis:6379/0
      - CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND=redis://redis:6379/0
      - REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379/0
    volumes:
      - /mnt/dietpi_userdata/docker-data/journiv/data:/data
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      - redis

  celery-worker:
    image: swalabtech/journiv-app:latest
    container_name: journiv-celery-worker
    entrypoint: []
    command: ["celery", "-A", "app.core.celery_app", "worker", "--loglevel=info"]
    environment:
      - SECRET_KEY=XXX
      - DOMAIN_NAME=XXX
      - CELERY_BROKER_URL=redis://redis:6379/0
      - CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND=redis://redis:6379/0
      - REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379/0
    volumes:
      - /mnt/dietpi_userdata/docker-data/journiv/data:/data
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      - redis
      - journiv

Exports are working!

Is Journiv still having issues with export? I couldn’t get it to work (tried following all the stuff I could find about the export issues and folder permissions) - so I gave up. A shame because I like the app.

I’m interested to know if anyone is using a Cloudflare tunnel to stream audio? It breaks their terms but I’ve read that they tend to ignore it.

That sounds fantastic. Journiv has kick-started me into journalling before bed again. Thank you for uour work.

I’ve been running Journiv since Monday and really liking it. I’d really like to see a straightfoward means of exporting/restoring journals, though. The export says coming soon.

One of the reasons I stopped using Memos - which I thought was good - was because the devs were telling users on Discord that there was no need for backups because you should have the skill to manually locate and open up the database and export entries yourself. I think that sort of stuff makes or breaks apps like this in which people put aspects of their lives into.

I was a long-time user of One Note and about 8 years ago tried to export some of my notes - which was nigh-on impossible to do regardless of whatever MS says. I realised that I didn’t like feeing I didn’t have full control or ownership and that set me off on a course if self-hosting and linux. I’m not completely there but certainly further on than I was then. I like using linux much more than OSX and certainly Windows (which I stopped using about 2012).

Thanks. I have already looked at this and tried out some of the links. I couldn’t see a solution - but I’ll take another look. Thank you.

Agree with Navidrome. Works great in browser and the Substreamer ios app.

Is this the sort of thing you’re looking for?

https://www.files.gallery/

It’s a php file you drop into a folder that creates a gallery of the files (including pdfs). There are security settings and visual customisations you can change. If you know what you’re doing you can access the file remotely, too. I’ve used it for a while and found it helpful.

It’s great. I’ve been using it for nearly a year and it just works brilliantly.

Thank you. You are absolutely right and it was right there in front of me!

Could you set up a Cloudflare tunnel and make sure the security rules are tight enough to keep others out?

Can you export playlists from Navidrome? I’m running it and can’t see a way of doing that. (The workaround I’m using is building playlists in Synology Audio Station and then setting up Navidrome to import them. If you know a better way of doing this I’d be interested.)

Check out Memos. It does most of what you want. There’s an app, MoeMemos as well. I’ve used Memos as my journal for a couple of years now. (There’s also a sync with Obsidian if you use that.)

I spent AGES trying to do this and trying out all sorts of apps.

The best solution (for me at least) was self-hosting Nextcloud and using its Calendar and Tasks apps (and using it’s CalDAV to keep tasks and appointments in sync in various apps across my devices). I’ve never got the hang of Kanban so can’t comment on how good it is. I also keep my scratchpad/fleeting notes using Nextcloud Notes.

That is not good news at all!

Nextcloud Notes?

I was skeptical at first but have found it the most useable of all the ones I tried out.
