## <time>2023-11-13</time> - audiobooks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
okay so tomasino reminded me today that i used to love listening to audiobooks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
https://labs.tomasino.org/audiobooks/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
but i haven't done it as fanatically as i used to in a long time.
|
||||||
|
for a while, i didn't have a commute.
|
||||||
|
and now i do, but i often carpool.
|
||||||
|
but sometimes i have a solo, quiet commute.
|
||||||
|
ideal for some audiobooks!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
further complications:
|
||||||
|
i am unable to download and archive audiobooks from overdrive the same way i used to be able to.
|
||||||
|
because they barely support their desktop apps anymore,
|
||||||
|
and instead push really hard for everybody to use their streaming apps.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
but i learned that if i spoof my user-agent
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
then i can get a 'Have overdrive for mac/windows?' link upon checkout
|
||||||
|
that will enable me to download the odm file.
|
||||||
|
which i can then use to download the mp3s thanks to this special little script.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
https://github.com/jamestomasino/dotfiles-minimal/blob/master/bin/overdrive
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
so that's great!
|
||||||
|
while i was troubleshooting all of this,
|
||||||
|
i downloaded a book to my linux laptop,
|
||||||
|
because the download link is already readily available there,
|
||||||
|
and then transferred it over to the pi.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
so now i guess i'm going to start collecting and archiving audiobooks on the pi too!
|
||||||
|
i might look into jellyfin in earnest so i can serve them
|
||||||
|
and download them over my home network.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
i might also have to start really considering a vpn
|
||||||
|
so i can access my files away from the house.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## <time>2023-11-07</time> - add email to calibre-web
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
just a quick note to look into configuring email for calibre-web
|
||||||
|
so i can send books direct to my kindle
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
whoa this fork looks really great
|
||||||
|
compared to what i have
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
the ui looks good
|
||||||
|
and it has single click send to e-mail
|
||||||
|
and also "Magic Link" login for easy access on eReaders..
|
||||||
|
that's great.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
what is that i'm running?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
just the base `calibre-server` that comes with the calibre package in apt.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
okay new goal: install and run `calibre-web`,
|
||||||
|
and stop using `calibre-server`?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## <time>2023-10-28</time> - abduco + dvtm = tmux replacement?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
i can't remember how i fell down this rabbit hole..
|
||||||
|
i think it's because elly had been talking about dtach over on #tildetown,
|
||||||
|
which is a utility that just provides the attach/detach
|
||||||
|
functionality of tmux.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
so anyway i started using abduco + dvtm on my pi
|
||||||
|
just to test it out
|
||||||
|
and see what it was like
|
||||||
|
and i quite like it!
|
||||||
|
dvtm especially is kind of nice
|
||||||
|
as a tiling window manager for the terminal.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
abduco isn't in the package repository at work,
|
||||||
|
but i started using dtach + dvtm this week.
|
||||||
|
we'll see if i stick with it.
|
||||||
|
pretty nice so far!

## <time>2023-10-11</time> - jellyfin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
just a quick note to remind myself to check out jellyfin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<https://jellyfin.org/>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a media server alternative to plex
|
||||||
|
that is supposed to be much lighter and more simple
|
||||||
|
than plex.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## <time>2023-09-29</time> - DeDRM
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
shelled into the pi and curled the latest DeDRM tools release
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v10.0.3
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
but i kept getting an empty file for some reason?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
no matter, downloaded it to my laptop and `scp`d it
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
unzipped it on the pi and
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
calibre-customize --add DeDRM.zip
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
it wasn't working at that point because i didn't have any keys defined in the `dedrm.json` so I `scp`d my config json from my laptop to `.config/calibre/plugins/DeDRM`. at this point, i'm still unable to open the book after adding it via the web ui. but when i `calibredb --add book.epub --with-library=books --duplicates` on the pi terminal, it adds it. (`--duplicates` is necessary only in this test instance because---oops!---turns out i already have this book in my library, but i am determined to use this opportunity to set up DeDRM. i will delete the duplicate later.) I can't verify in the web ui though because it's not showing the duplicate. must have merged it with the old one.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
oh well. i'll try it again next time i get a book from the library. shortest wait: currently 6 weeks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
actually no, let's just go checkout an Available Now book. Song of Achilles. I liked Circe. Let's get this one.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- confirmed: can add the book via web ui, but not open or read it because of drm
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- confirmed: can scp the book to the pi, `calibre add book.epub --with-library=books` and get an `Added book ids: <id>` message
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- confirmed: new book does NOT show up in web ui after killing and restarting the daemon
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- confirmed: the book IS there:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
$ calibredb list --search='id:3' --with-library=books
|
||||||
|
id title authors
|
||||||
|
3 The Song of Achilles Madeline Miller
|
||||||
|
$ #wtf
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
what the hell. does `calibre-server` has a db cache or something? i don't see anything
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/generated/en/calibre-server.html
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
i give up for now
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
to kill the process:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
ps aux | grep calibre
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
and then kill the id
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
removing the dulplicate:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
calibredb search 'title:"world we make"' --with-library=books
|
||||||
|
> 1,2
|
||||||
|
calibredb list --search 'id:2' --with-library=books
|
||||||
|
> (book info)
|
||||||
|
calibredb list --search 'id:1' --with-library=books
|
||||||
|
> (book info)
|
||||||
|
calibredb remove 2
|
||||||
|
```

## <time>2023-09-29</time> - reboot
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
been uploading photos and books, and editing metadata for my rpgs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
pi became unresponsive last night / this morning to web and ssh so rebooted this morning and restarted web services. everything seems to be fine now.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
found these resources recently and consider them next steps on my todo list:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Add deDRM tools for CLI so I can upload library books. I can pretty much delete local calibre after this. https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/blob/master/CALIBRE_CLI_INSTRUCTIONS.md
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Be your own CA Authority! which initially sounds to me like not that good of an idea, but then I can use `https` for my local webservices. https://jamielinux.com/docs/openssl-certificate-authority/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- still want to install a reverse proxy (lapis + openresty?) so i can hit canonical urls instead of typing in address + port number. this would make it easier to share URLs with household members. NOTE: do i want a local DNS server??
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Incidentally, mDNS seemed to just magically start working on its self at some point. I can hit my pi's url on macbook and on my phone now. weeeeeird

## <time>2023-09-13</time> - rpg library
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
tried searching for an rpg that i know is in my collection and couldn't find it by title or by author.
|
||||||
|
this is going to be really painful until i update the metadata on everything.
|
||||||
|
i've done about 60 so far. out of 1.4k. big yikes!

||||||

|
## <time>2023-09-12</time> - mDNS
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
still can't hit any multi DNS urls on any of my devices.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
not a solution but a workaround (for desktop only): added a line to `/etc/hosts` on my MBP:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
192.168.0.83 pi.local
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
and now i can hit e.g. calibre with http://pi.local:8080
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
maybe i can configure something on my actual router?

## <time>2023-09-11</time> - miniflux
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rss reader!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
one thing i would like to be able to do
|
||||||
|
is to read my rss feeds on my computer
|
||||||
|
and on my phone
|
||||||
|
and on my tablet,
|
||||||
|
and have my un/read status sync between decives.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
which i guess means hosting a feed reader!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
i glanced at `awesome-selfhosted`
|
||||||
|
and then asked some of my friends in the basement
|
||||||
|
because i know that they have already undertaken
|
||||||
|
great adventures in rss,
|
||||||
|
trailblazers that they are.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
and they recommended miniflux.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
written in go, and it uses postgres.
|
||||||
|
luckily they have a docker image so i don't have to install either.
|
||||||
|
the docker-compose file on their installation instructions is a little out of date,
|
||||||
|
but you can find a more correct 'basic.yml' on github at `miniflux/v2`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
after a few tweaks,
|
||||||
|
it is installed and running!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
the ui is super minimal.
|
||||||
|
i'm sure i'll grow to like it,
|
||||||
|
but at the moment
|
||||||
|
i am missing the classic
|
||||||
|
three-pane "feeds / entries / content" view.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Up next:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- gemini/gopher server? just for fun
|
||||||
|
- nginx reverse proxy: i have three services running on three ports now. i want a proxy for more easiy routing between these. i choose nginx because lua, so i can fennel

## <time>2023-09-08</time> - calibre
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
had to add the upstream debian bullseye repo to install `calibre-server`. (and then remove it.) got the web server up and running pretty easy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
fussed around for a while trying to make a second calibre library out of my rpg collection. here's what ended up working:
|
||||||
|
create a new dir and then `calibredb add path/to/file.pdf --library-path new/library/location`. adding a single file this way created the necessary database file. then i was able to `find rpgsbak -type f -name '*.pdf' -exec -I {} calibredb add {} --library-path new/library/loction`. (or something like that; wrote the command just now from memory.) and pull all my pdfs in!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
so now i have 1.4k pdfs in a new 'rpgs' library alongside my 'books' library.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
on the whole, hobby ttrpg creators can stand to get a LOT better at exporting metadata with their pdfs. now i have a whole lot of manual updating to do. but i can read books and pdfs now from my calibre library on any device on the network.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
also adding new items via the web ui is pretty easy!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
TODO: disable converting to epub on 'read' for rpg library. 'download' to read still works great for reading in the meantime.

## <time>2023-09-03</time> - photoprism
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
browsed the photo hosting options on `awesome-selfhosted` on github and decided on photoprism
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
it has a docker image and i was able to get it working no problem, with no modifications. quick and easy. this is the future containers promised us.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
the ui is slow. i have the number of workers cranked down to 1. might bump it to 2.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
i had been rsyncing photos to the pi and then reindexing the collection. but i'm finding it quicker to do a bulk upload using the web ui. it's working rather reliably. it still has to reindex on upload, but i no longer have to reindex the entire collection.

## <time>2023-08-30</time> - git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add a "git" user. Create a home dir for it. Do `git init --bare repo.git`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copy my ssh key over and add an entry to `.ssh/config`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
21 │ Host git
|
||||||
|
22 │ Hostname 192.168.0.83
|
||||||
|
23 │ User git
|
||||||
|
24 │ IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now I can `git remote add pi git:repo.git` in a local repo and push away!

## <time>2023-08-28</time> - Hello World
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Okay let's get this party started!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I have a raspberry pi model 3b that has been gathering dust in a drawer for a couple years now.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I decided I wanted to dust it off and use it to backup some photos and some files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I bought a 4TB external hard drive and a 128gb microSD card and hooked it all up.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I downloaded the NOOBS installer from raspberrypi.com/software and installed it on the SD card, which I was able to do because I have a ton of dongles thanks to the fact that my MacbookPro has no peripherals. I popped the card in to the pi, connected my usb keyboard and hdmi monitor and booted it up, and went through the setup.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then, after testing that I can ssh into the pi, I unplugged my keyboard and monitor and never plugged them back in again.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Plugged in my hard drive and formatted it with an ext3 filesystem.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Created a backup user. (Not a spare user in case of emergencies, but a user specifically for creating backups.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copied my ssh keys over:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa pi.local
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|

Mounted the drive, added it to `/etc/fstab` so it will auto-mount, and added a slight delay to the boot command so that there is time for the drive to mount before the system boots. As suggested here:

|
|
||||||
|
<https://howtoforge.com/tutorial/raspberry-pi-as-backup-server-for-linux-and-windows/>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copied over my first photo export and my calibre library with an `rsync -zaP`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Messed around with mDNS and avahi-daemon because I can't hit http://pi.local in the browser. Still haven't figured this out.

<![CDATA[
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>okay so tomasino reminded me today that i used to love listening to audiobooks.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>https://labs.tomasino.org/audiobooks/</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>but i haven’t done it as fanatically as i used to in a long time.
|
||||||
|
for a while, i didn’t have a commute.
|
||||||
|
and now i do, but i often carpool.
|
||||||
|
but sometimes i have a solo, quiet commute.
|
||||||
|
ideal for some audiobooks!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>further complications:
|
||||||
|
i am unable to download and archive audiobooks from overdrive the same way i used to be able to.
|
||||||
|
because they barely support their desktop apps anymore,
|
||||||
|
and instead push really hard for everybody to use their streaming apps.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>but i learned that if i spoof my user-agent</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>then i can get a ‘Have overdrive for mac/windows?’ link upon checkout
|
||||||
|
that will enable me to download the odm file.
|
||||||
|
which i can then use to download the mp3s thanks to this special little script.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>https://github.com/jamestomasino/dotfiles-minimal/blob/master/bin/overdrive</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>so that’s great!
|
||||||
|
while i was troubleshooting all of this,
|
||||||
|
i downloaded a book to my linux laptop,
|
||||||
|
because the download link is already readily available there,
|
||||||
|
and then transferred it over to the pi.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>so now i guess i’m going to start collecting and archiving audiobooks on the pi too!
|
||||||
|
i might look into jellyfin in earnest so i can serve them
|
||||||
|
and download them over my home network.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>i might also have to start really considering a vpn
|
||||||
|
so i can access my files away from the house.</p>

<p>just a quick note to look into configuring email for calibre-web
|
||||||
|
so i can send books direct to my kindle</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>whoa this fork looks really great
|
||||||
|
compared to what i have</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><a href="https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web">https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web</a></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>the ui looks good
|
||||||
|
and it has single click send to e-mail
|
||||||
|
and also “Magic Link” login for easy access on eReaders..
|
||||||
|
that’s great.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>what is that i’m running?</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>just the base <code>calibre-server</code> that comes with the calibre package in apt.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>okay new goal: install and run <code>calibre-web</code>,
|
||||||
|
and stop using <code>calibre-server</code>?</p>

|

|
<p>i can’t remember how i fell down this rabbit hole..
|
||||||
|
i think it’s because elly had been talking about dtach over on #tildetown,
|
||||||
|
which is a utility that just provides the attach/detach
|
||||||
|
functionality of tmux.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>so anyway i started using abduco + dvtm on my pi
|
||||||
|
just to test it out
|
||||||
|
and see what it was like
|
||||||
|
and i quite like it!
|
||||||
|
dvtm especially is kind of nice
|
||||||
|
as a tiling window manager for the terminal.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>abduco isn’t in the package repository at work,
|
||||||
|
but i started using dtach + dvtm this week.
|
||||||
|
we’ll see if i stick with it.
|
||||||
|
pretty nice so far!</p>

|

|

|
<p>shelled into the pi and curled the latest DeDRM tools release</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v10.0.3</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>but i kept getting an empty file for some reason?</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>no matter, downloaded it to my laptop and <code>scp</code>d it</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>unzipped it on the pi and</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><code>
|
||||||
|
calibre-customize --add DeDRM.zip
|
||||||
|
</code></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>it wasn’t working at that point because i didn’t have any keys defined in the <code>dedrm.json</code> so I <code>scp</code>d my config json from my laptop to <code>.config/calibre/plugins/DeDRM</code>. at this point, i’m still unable to open the book after adding it via the web ui. but when i <code>calibredb --add book.epub --with-library=books --duplicates</code> on the pi terminal, it adds it. (<code>--duplicates</code> is necessary only in this test instance because—oops!—turns out i already have this book in my library, but i am determined to use this opportunity to set up DeDRM. i will delete the duplicate later.) I can’t verify in the web ui though because it’s not showing the duplicate. must have merged it with the old one.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>oh well. i’ll try it again next time i get a book from the library. shortest wait: currently 6 weeks.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>actually no, let’s just go checkout an Available Now book. Song of Achilles. I liked Circe. Let’s get this one.</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><p>confirmed: can add the book via web ui, but not open or read it because of drm</p></li>
|
||||||
|
<li><p>confirmed: can scp the book to the pi, <code>calibre add book.epub --with-library=books</code> and get an <code>Added book ids: <id></code> message</p></li>
|
||||||
|
<li><p>confirmed: new book does NOT show up in web ui after killing and restarting the daemon</p></li>
|
||||||
|
<li><p>confirmed: the book IS there:</p>
|
||||||
|
<pre><code> ```
|
||||||
|
$ calibredb list --search='id:3' --with-library=books
|
||||||
|
id title authors
|
||||||
|
3 The Song of Achilles Madeline Miller
|
||||||
|
$ #wtf
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<p>what the hell. does <code>calibre-server</code> has a db cache or something? i don’t see anything</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/generated/en/calibre-server.html</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>i give up for now</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>~</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>to kill the process:</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><code>
|
||||||
|
ps aux | grep calibre
|
||||||
|
</code></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>and then kill the id</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>removing the dulplicate:</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>```
|
||||||
|
calibredb search ‘title:“world we make”’ –with-library=books</p>
|
||||||

<blockquote><p>1,2

<p>been uploading photos and books, and editing metadata for my rpgs.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>pi became unresponsive last night / this morning to web and ssh so rebooted this morning and restarted web services. everything seems to be fine now.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>found these resources recently and consider them next steps on my todo list:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><p>Add deDRM tools for CLI so I can upload library books. I can pretty much delete local calibre after this. https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/blob/master/CALIBRE_CLI_INSTRUCTIONS.md</p></li>
|
||||||
|
<li><p>Be your own CA Authority! which initially sounds to me like not that good of an idea, but then I can use <code>https</code> for my local webservices. https://jamielinux.com/docs/openssl-certificate-authority/</p></li>
|
||||||
|
<li><p>still want to install a reverse proxy (lapis + openresty?) so i can hit canonical urls instead of typing in address + port number. this would make it easier to share URLs with household members. NOTE: do i want a local DNS server??</p></li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<p>Incidentally, mDNS seemed to just magically start working on its self at some point. I can hit my pi’s url on macbook and on my phone now. weeeeeird</p>

<p>still can’t hit any multi DNS urls on any of my devices.</p>
|

<p>not a solution but a workaround (for desktop only): added a line to <code>/etc/hosts</code> on my MBP:</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><code>
|
||||||
|
192.168.0.83 pi.local
|

|
</code></p>
|

|
<p>and now i can hit e.g. calibre with http://pi.local:8080</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>maybe i can configure something on my actual router?</p>

<p>rss reader!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>one thing i would like to be able to do
|
||||||
|
is to read my rss feeds on my computer
|
||||||
|
and on my phone
|
||||||
|
and on my tablet,
|
||||||
|
and have my un/read status sync between decives.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>which i guess means hosting a feed reader!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>i glanced at <code>awesome-selfhosted</code>
|
||||||
|
and then asked some of my friends in the basement
|
||||||
|
because i know that they have already undertaken
|
||||||
|
great adventures in rss,
|
||||||
|
trailblazers that they are.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>and they recommended miniflux.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>written in go, and it uses postgres.
|
||||||
|
luckily they have a docker image so i don’t have to install either.
|
||||||
|
the docker-compose file on their installation instructions is a little out of date,
|
||||||
|
but you can find a more correct ‘basic.yml’ on github at <code>miniflux/v2</code></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>after a few tweaks,
|
||||||
|
it is installed and running!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>the ui is super minimal.
|
||||||
|
i’m sure i’ll grow to like it,
|
||||||
|
but at the moment
|
||||||
|
i am missing the classic
|
||||||
|
three-pane “feeds / entries / content” view.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Up next:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>gemini/gopher server? just for fun</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>nginx reverse proxy: i have three services running on three ports now. i want a proxy for more easiy routing between these. i choose nginx because lua, so i can fennel</li>

<p>had to add the upstream debian bullseye repo to install <code>calibre-server</code>. (and then remove it.) got the web server up and running pretty easy.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>fussed around for a while trying to make a second calibre library out of my rpg collection. here’s what ended up working:
|
||||||
|
create a new dir and then <code>calibredb add path/to/file.pdf --library-path new/library/location</code>. adding a single file this way created the necessary database file. then i was able to <code>find rpgsbak -type f -name '*.pdf' -exec -I {} calibredb add {} --library-path new/library/loction</code>. (or something like that; wrote the command just now from memory.) and pull all my pdfs in!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>so now i have 1.4k pdfs in a new ‘rpgs’ library alongside my ‘books’ library.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>on the whole, hobby ttrpg creators can stand to get a LOT better at exporting metadata with their pdfs. now i have a whole lot of manual updating to do. but i can read books and pdfs now from my calibre library on any device on the network.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>also adding new items via the web ui is pretty easy!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>TODO: disable converting to epub on ‘read’ for rpg library. ‘download’ to read still works great for reading in the meantime.</p>

<p>browsed the photo hosting options on <code>awesome-selfhosted</code> on github and decided on photoprism</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>it has a docker image and i was able to get it working no problem, with no modifications. quick and easy. this is the future containers promised us.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>the ui is slow. i have the number of workers cranked down to 1. might bump it to 2.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>i had been rsyncing photos to the pi and then reindexing the collection. but i’m finding it quicker to do a bulk upload using the web ui. it’s working rather reliably. it still has to reindex on upload, but i no longer have to reindex the entire collection.</p>

<p>Add a “git” user. Create a home dir for it. Do <code>git init --bare repo.git</code>.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Copy my ssh key over and add an entry to <code>.ssh/config</code>:</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><code>
|
||||||
|
21 │ Host git
|

22 │ Hostname 192.168.0.83

23 │ User git
|
||||||
|
24 │ IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
|
||||||

</code></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Now I can <code>git remote add pi git:repo.git</code> in a local repo and push away!</p>

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Okay let’s get this party started!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>I have a raspberry pi model 3b that has been gathering dust in a drawer for a couple years now.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>I decided I wanted to dust it off and use it to backup some photos and some files.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>I bought a 4TB external hard drive and a 128gb microSD card and hooked it all up.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>I downloaded the NOOBS installer from raspberrypi.com/software and installed it on the SD card, which I was able to do because I have a ton of dongles thanks to the fact that my MacbookPro has no peripherals. I popped the card in to the pi, connected my usb keyboard and hdmi monitor and booted it up, and went through the setup.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Then, after testing that I can ssh into the pi, I unplugged my keyboard and monitor and never plugged them back in again.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Plugged in my hard drive and formatted it with an ext3 filesystem.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Created a backup user. (Not a spare user in case of emergencies, but a user specifically for creating backups.)</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Copied my ssh keys over:</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><code>
|
||||||
|
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa pi.local
|
||||||
|
</code></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Mounted the drive, added it to <code>/etc/fstab</code> so it will auto-mount, and added a slight delay to the boot command so that there is time for the drive to mount before the system boots. As suggested here:</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><a href="https://howtoforge.com/tutorial/raspberry-pi-as-backup-server-for-linux-and-windows/">https://howtoforge.com/tutorial/raspberry-pi-as-backup-server-for-linux-and-windows/</a></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Copied over my first photo export and my calibre library with an <code>rsync -zaP</code>.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Messed around with mDNS and avahi-daemon because I can’t hit http://pi.local in the browser. Still haven’t figured this out.</p>

<h2 id="audiobooks"><time>2023-11-13</time> - audiobooks</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>okay so tomasino reminded me today that i used to love listening to
|
||||||
|
audiobooks.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><a href="https://labs.tomasino.org/audiobooks/"
|
||||||
|
class="uri">https://labs.tomasino.org/audiobooks/</a></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>but i haven’t done it as fanatically as i used to in a long time. for
|
||||||
|
a while, i didn’t have a commute. and now i do, but i often carpool. but
|
||||||
|
sometimes i have a solo, quiet commute. ideal for some audiobooks!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>further complications: i am unable to download and archive audiobooks
|
||||||
|
from overdrive the same way i used to be able to. because they barely
|
||||||
|
support their desktop apps anymore, and instead push really hard for
|
||||||
|
everybody to use their streaming apps.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>but i learned that if i spoof my user-agent</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><a
|
||||||
|
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/"
|
||||||
|
class="uri">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/</a></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>then i can get a ‘Have overdrive for mac/windows?’ link upon checkout
|
||||||
|
that will enable me to download the odm file. which i can then use to
|
||||||
|
download the mp3s thanks to this special little script.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><a
|
||||||
|
href="https://github.com/jamestomasino/dotfiles-minimal/blob/master/bin/overdrive"
|
||||||
|
class="uri">https://github.com/jamestomasino/dotfiles-minimal/blob/master/bin/overdrive</a></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>so that’s great! while i was troubleshooting all of this, i
|
||||||
|
downloaded a book to my linux laptop, because the download link is
|
||||||
|
already readily available there, and then transferred it over to the
|
||||||
|
pi.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>so now i guess i’m going to start collecting and archiving audiobooks
|
||||||
|
on the pi too! i might look into jellyfin in earnest so i can serve them
|
||||||
|
and download them over my home network.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>i might also have to start really considering a vpn so i can access
|
||||||
|
my files away from the house.</p>
|
||||||
|
<h2 id="add-email-to-calibre-web"><time>2023-11-07</time> - add email to
|
||||||
|
calibre-web</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>just a quick note to look into configuring email for calibre-web so i
|
||||||
|
can send books direct to my kindle</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>whoa this fork looks really great compared to what i have</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><a href="https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web"
|
||||||
|
class="uri">https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web</a></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>the ui looks good and it has single click send to e-mail and also
|
||||||
|
“Magic Link” login for easy access on eReaders.. that’s great.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>what is that i’m running?</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>just the base <code>calibre-server</code> that comes with the calibre
|
||||||
|
package in apt.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>okay new goal: install and run <code>calibre-web</code>, and stop
|
||||||
|
using <code>calibre-server</code>?</p>
|

<h2 id="abduco-dvtm-tmux-replacement"><time>2023-10-28</time> - abduco +
|
||||||
|
dvtm = tmux replacement?</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>i can’t remember how i fell down this rabbit hole.. i think it’s
|
||||||
|
because elly had been talking about dtach over on #tildetown, which is a
|
||||||
|
utility that just provides the attach/detach functionality of tmux.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>so anyway i started using abduco + dvtm on my pi just to test it out
|
||||||
|
and see what it was like and i quite like it! dvtm especially is kind of
|
||||||
|
nice as a tiling window manager for the terminal.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>abduco isn’t in the package repository at work, but i started using
|
||||||
|
dtach + dvtm this week. we’ll see if i stick with it. pretty nice so
|
||||||
|
far!</p>

<p>but i kept getting an empty file for some reason?</p>
|

|
<p>no matter, downloaded it to my laptop and <code>scp</code>d it</p>
|

|
<p>unzipped it on the pi and</p>
|
||||||
|
<pre><code>calibre-customize --add DeDRM.zip</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
<p>it wasn’t working at that point because i didn’t have any keys
|
||||||
|
defined in the <code>dedrm.json</code> so I <code>scp</code>d my config
|
||||||
|
json from my laptop to <code>.config/calibre/plugins/DeDRM</code>. at
|
||||||
|
this point, i’m still unable to open the book after adding it via the
|
||||||
|
web ui. but when i
|
||||||
|
<code>calibredb --add book.epub --with-library=books --duplicates</code>
|
||||||
|
on the pi terminal, it adds it. (<code>--duplicates</code> is necessary
|
||||||
|
only in this test instance because—oops!—turns out i already have this
|
||||||
|
book in my library, but i am determined to use this opportunity to set
|
||||||
|
up DeDRM. i will delete the duplicate later.) I can’t verify in the web
|
||||||
|
ui though because it’s not showing the duplicate. must have merged it
|
||||||
|
with the old one.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>oh well. i’ll try it again next time i get a book from the library.

<p>tried searching for an rpg that i know is in my collection and

couldn’t find it by title or by author. this is going to be really

far. out of 1.4k. big yikes!</p>

<p>not a solution but a workaround (for desktop only): added a line to

|

<pre><code>192.168.0.83 pi.local</code></pre>

<p>and now i can hit e.g. calibre with <a href="http://pi.local:8080"
|

class="uri">http://pi.local:8080</a></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>maybe i can configure something on my actual router?</p>

|

|
<p>one thing i would like to be able to do is to read my rss feeds on my
|

computer and on my phone and on my tablet, and have my un/read status
|
||||||
|
sync between decives.</p>
|

|
<p>which i guess means hosting a feed reader!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>i glanced at <code>awesome-selfhosted</code> and then asked some of
|
||||||
|
my friends in the basement because i know that they have already
|
||||||
|
undertaken great adventures in rss, trailblazers that they are.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>and they recommended miniflux.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>written in go, and it uses postgres. luckily they have a docker image
|
||||||
|
so i don’t have to install either. the docker-compose file on their
|
||||||
|
installation instructions is a little out of date, but you can find a
|
||||||
|
more correct ‘basic.yml’ on github at <code>miniflux/v2</code></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>after a few tweaks, it is installed and running!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>the ui is super minimal. i’m sure i’ll grow to like it, but at the

moment i am missing the classic three-pane “feeds / entries / content”

<h2 id="calibre"><time>2023-09-08</time> - calibre</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>had to add the upstream debian bullseye repo to install
|
||||||
|
<code>calibre-server</code>. (and then remove it.) got the web server up
|
||||||
|
and running pretty easy.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>fussed around for a while trying to make a second calibre library out
|
||||||
|
of my rpg collection. here’s what ended up working: create a new dir and
|
||||||
|
then
|
||||||
|
<code>calibredb add path/to/file.pdf --library-path new/library/location</code>.
|
||||||
|
adding a single file this way created the necessary database file. then
|
||||||
|
i was able to
|
||||||
|
<code>find rpgsbak -type f -name '*.pdf' -exec -I {} calibredb add {} --library-path new/library/loction</code>.
|
||||||
|
(or something like that; wrote the command just now from memory.) and
|
||||||
|
pull all my pdfs in!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>so now i have 1.4k pdfs in a new ‘rpgs’ library alongside my ‘books’
|
||||||
|
library.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>on the whole, hobby ttrpg creators can stand to get a LOT better at
|
||||||
|
exporting metadata with their pdfs. now i have a whole lot of manual
|
||||||
|
updating to do. but i can read books and pdfs now from my calibre
|
||||||
|
library on any device on the network.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>also adding new items via the web ui is pretty easy!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>TODO: disable converting to epub on ‘read’ for rpg library.
|
||||||

‘download’ to read still works great for reading in the meantime.</p>

|

|
<p>browsed the photo hosting options on <code>awesome-selfhosted</code>
|

on github and decided on photoprism</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>it has a docker image and i was able to get it working no problem,
|
||||||
|
with no modifications. quick and easy. this is the future containers
|
||||||
|
promised us.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>the ui is slow. i have the number of workers cranked down to 1. might
|
||||||
|
bump it to 2.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>i had been rsyncing photos to the pi and then reindexing the
|
||||||
|
collection. but i’m finding it quicker to do a bulk upload using the web
|
||||||
|
ui. it’s working rather reliably. it still has to reindex on upload, but
|
||||||
|
i no longer have to reindex the entire collection.</p>

<p>Add a “git” user. Create a home dir for it. Do

|
||||||
|
<p>Okay let’s get this party started!</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>I have a raspberry pi model 3b that has been gathering dust in a
|
||||||
|
drawer for a couple years now.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>I decided I wanted to dust it off and use it to backup some photos
|
||||||
|
and some files.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>I bought a 4TB external hard drive and a 128gb microSD card and
|
||||||
|
hooked it all up.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>I downloaded the NOOBS installer from raspberrypi.com/software and
|
||||||
|
installed it on the SD card, which I was able to do because I have a ton
|
||||||
|
of dongles thanks to the fact that my MacbookPro has no peripherals. I
|
||||||
|
popped the card in to the pi, connected my usb keyboard and hdmi monitor
|
||||||
|
and booted it up, and went through the setup.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Then, after testing that I can ssh into the pi, I unplugged my
|
||||||
|
keyboard and monitor and never plugged them back in again.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Plugged in my hard drive and formatted it with an ext3
|
||||||
|
filesystem.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Created a backup user. (Not a spare user in case of emergencies, but
|
||||||
|
a user specifically for creating backups.)</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Copied my ssh keys over:</p>
|
||||||
|
<pre><code>ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa pi.local</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
<p>Mounted the drive, added it to <code>/etc/fstab</code> so it will
|
||||||
|
auto-mount, and added a slight delay to the boot command so that there
|
||||||
|
is time for the drive to mount before the system boots. As suggested
|
||||||
|
here:</p>

class="uri">https://howtoforge.com/tutorial/raspberry-pi-as-backup-server-for-linux-and-windows/</a></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Copied over my first photo export and my calibre library with an
|
||||||
|
<code>rsync -zaP</code>.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Messed around with mDNS and avahi-daemon because I can’t hit <a
|
||||||
|
href="http://pi.local" class="uri">http://pi.local</a> in the browser.
|
||||||
|
Still haven’t figured this out.</p>
