  • Do you think webdav somehow dumps you database? No it’s just a protocol to save your files on your webserver. It’s just a middelman.

    recommended to somebody an option that is the exact opposite of what you know to be true.

    Yeah it’s my recommendation from my personal experience. Is that wrong? I use it nearly everyday without any data corruption. Is my personal experience not valide?

    The point is, syncthing is rock solid, never had any issue being it with my zotero database or syncing files between my devices. If you’re a Nextcloud advocate or are against my personal opinion so be it :).

    Agree that we disagree !



  • Nextcloud and syncthing a 2 different things. While synching keeps your files synchronized between your devices, nextcloud is a cloud platforme which gives you access to your files on your server. The difference is actually very important even though a lot would argue that they are the same.

    It really depends what type of technology you want/need. I would recommended syncthing for it’s simplicity and robustness. It only does one thing but it does it very well !!

    To give you an example, I have a syncthing sever which is a middleman for my Zotero database. Laptop <-> Server (syncthing) <-> desktop. It’s very important to keep it in sync for the integrity of the zotero database !

    This kind of workflow wouldn’t work with nextcloud or rather will most of the time corrupt my database.

    Nextcloud works as a simple cloud platforme wich is also great (with it’s up and downs) but works only as a cloud platforme to keep your files on your server.


  • N0x0n@lemmy.mltoSelfhosted@lemmy.worldShould I use a rolling distro?

    One downside of debian testing is you don’t get security patches when the package is freezed under testing.

    Rather use sid, but comes with it’s own share of troubles !

    Edit: I’m currently on Manjaro, wich is somehow a “semi-rolling” release based on arch. It takes a few weeks before it hits the stable branch. But while I love it as daily drive, don’t know if I would recommend it as server.

    Servers need to be stable, that’s why I use debian stable on my server.

    Maybe give fedora server a try? Which is more uptodate than debian and maybe more stable as a server OS than a rolling release !




  • Hey thanks for the clarification :) ! I’m not a photographer nor educated enough in specific science domain.

    I only pointed out what technique photographers use to make them appear so bright and colorful on pictures.

    They really are as colorful as they appear in photos but human night vision is primarily black and white.

    Does that even make sense? I mean, we are what we are, and we see what we see. There is noway that we could certainly know how they actually look like.

    If a reptile looks at an Aurora Borealis, It would totally see it differently, and it’s perspective would differ from ours.

    With a camera you can change alot of attributes to make it appear b/w, sepia, more light, rgb, cmjn, infrared, flash… But that doesn’t make it how they actually appear, I mean who is in charge to give the correct mixture of how much light, b/w, cmjn, rgb, infrared… to see the “real” manifestation ?

    Personally, I think this is more a philosophical/metaphysic ¿? question, but I’m no expert in any of those subjects. I’m just relying on my personal experience and my feelings ^^.

    Feel free to argument !








  • Here is something you can work on. You could try to mount your volumes as named volume as per this docker-compose file, so that docker takes care of permissions and ownership of the files.

    If I understand it correctly you want to use an external drive or a drive partition ? You can’t directly use those partitions as named volume. You can also mount a SAMBA/CIF mounted volume from your external drive/drive partition or NFS (read here).

    Do not change this part in the docker-compose I shared above. This files needs to be located where It can find it.

        volumes:
          - ./deploy/docker/local_settings.py:/home/mediacms.io/mediacms/deploy/docker/local_settings.py
    

    This is what I would give a try. Apart from that, I can’t help you any further, maybe someone else would come up with a better idea :/.

    This seems like a stupid permission issue ˆˆ’. Hope you will find your way arround !




  • Try to open the web developer tools in your web browser, to look if there is anything useful. It’s different for every browser but on firefox: ≡ > more tools > Web Developer tools. Look into the network tab and refresh your page and try to login again. This can sometimes give you some hints what’s going wrong.

    Also have you tried to log every container from the compose?

    When you ls all containers do they seem healthy or does one do not start? docker container ls -a ?
