Fair enough! What features are ya looking for?

Ever look into bookwyrm?

I have a similar setup with the same case haha recently built as well. Your use-case will be more than fine. My only suggestion, aside from try and get more RAM. If those hard-drives are in a redundant raid setup, and you don’t already have one, get a backup drive too. Especially if the price for the drive is decent. Last thing you want to do is to buy a replacement drive later when prices are jacked up or have to do the RMA process with only 3 drives running your data.

Been using Thunder on Android for a while. Great experience with it.

Whoops my bad. Yes, Stoat is the re-brand of Revolt. I’ve also seen mentions of Sharkord.

Really need it to do Cantonese. That’s the only thing keeping me on Google Translate 😓

https://matrix-construct.github.io/tuwunel/deploying/docker.html?highlight=voice#voice-communication

tuwunel seems to have some docker guides for how to set up voice & docker.

From what I can tell, the only benefit is that the platform is close to the Discord experience. So people migrating to Stoat would feel right at home.

But there’s no federation, no e2ee, apparently it’s difficult to get voice setup if you self host…

Matrix has it’s issues too. Goup chat e2ee is not good. No one uses it. But at least they’ve got federation.

https://continuwuity.org/ seems like a decent server to run if you want to run a matrix server.

E2EE group chats on matrix seems to be a huge problem still. I look forward to their MLS implementation. Hopefully that fixes a lot of these UX issues.

It’s a shame, zulip doesn’t have e2ee. not even DMs. but they seem to be working towards federation of some sort? there are no good/perfect solutions out there.

Turns out they also don’t support federation or e2ee. If those are things you care about.

Check their GitHub. Although it looks like GitHub is having issues right now.

Link to their voice chat implementatoon.

Looks like you can enable it on self hosted version. Probably worth someone trying it out personally. Before giving up on stoat.

No clue! It was revolt before. I think they had trademark issues with that name. What’s wrong with stoat?

Check out https://stoat.chat/, it’s the closest self hostable group communications platform to Discord.

It is open source. You can even run the server yourself. You’ll probably need to build the android app pointed at your server URL. It requires a bit of technical chops. But it’s doable if you truly wanted your own stack.

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing this flow! 😍

Have you checked out rocketchat or stoat? 🙏

I tried to find you on the fediverse (mastodon) and saw this comment!

I just wanted to say, you’re doing a great job! This release, with native apps is awesome. I see that Android Auto is on the roadmap, and I’m excited for that as well :)

I have tested with Pocket Casts, AntennaPods (with PinePods as the backend!) and the PinePods android app… the fact that PinePods supports server downloads, and the Android app allows for bypassing local downloads (to stream the server version)… I notice that when I listen with PinePods Android, there’s less ads compared to Pocket Casts Android and AntennaPods! +1 for PinePods Android :)

These podcast streams must detect if a request is on mobile and inject specific ads 😅

I’m not sure how caddy works, but if curl says it’s insecure, to me it sounds like the certs are not installed correctly.
