  • If you’re there with Searx then it’s pretty similar to how Kagi works. Kagi sends requests to various search providers and has some of its own index then shows results based on the various sources.

    I found Searx/Searxng slow, 5-6 seconds per query (to get a response from each source), though it seems others have it working faster. Might have been some IP or rate limiting issue.

    Kagi has easy ways to raise/lower rankings and users can report AI slop pages to have them removed, but all in all Searx gives pretty good results.



  • I guess I just feel like if I need to know something (something is offline etc) then I need a notification, I don’t want to have to be checking a dashboard. I use Uptime Kuma for this.

    I see your point with Jellyfin, but I also have the clicks to find active streams as muscle memory and it’s not needed that often so I don’t think I’d go setting up a dashboard just for that.






  • The documentation says it’s possible to send test notification:

    That whole notification section is not familiar at all. There is current work to completely redo Monica and when I view their beta at https://beta.monicahq.com/ then it seems to reflect that new version. So I suspect that documentation is wrong for the current version (which hasn’t been meaningfully updated in years).

    In addition to what rhe other user asked, what do logs say, how are you configuring emails?




  • You sound like you want to go all in on federated services but there are plenty of other things to do.

    I love Nextcloud, works well when set up through the Nextcloud All In One docker setup, but it is a little different to other things so it might not be a starting point depending on your experience. Lots of apps to add for extra functionality. But don’t replace your cloud storage with it until you’re confident of your backups (and ability). I ran it for years to use for the apps and minor things before I finally went all in.

    I think a wiki is a great thing to have. Use it to document what you’ve done so you can remember.

    Then there’s media. With the storage I guess TV/movies might be out, but there’s Audiobookshelf for Audiobooks, Kavita or Calibre Web for eBooks. I like Jellyfin for music (but using the Finamp app not the Jellyfin one), but others like dedicated music setups like Navidrone.

    I buy my music from Bandcamp where available and Qobuz where it’s mainstream labels, then I can have my own little Spotify. Finamp even lets you download playlists or your whole library to your device for offline listening. I use Findroid for watching things, which also allows downloading. Last I checked the Jellyfin app didn’t have Netflix-like downloading, just downloading the files to your downloads folder.

    I guess you might not fit a whole lot with 300GB storage though, especially after you fit the databases of half a dozen federated services.

    If you have space, perhaps a photo service like Immich or Photoprosm.

    If you have friends maybe a private sharing forum like Zusam.

    If you have family then maybe family tree software like webtrees.

    I run so many things, they all get used, and I’m always happy to talk about them!
