I’m quite happy with audiobookshelf. Sometimes I’m in the mood to listen to a book, sometimes I fancy a podcast and audiobookshelf let’s me do both with little fuss. (and it has oidc support for authentication which means I now authenticate with my single sign on solution)

That’s likely true.

The first I heard of Pangolin was in a conversation that followed on from one about head/tailscale and I accept that I may have jumped to a conclusion. I am certain I’ve seen people talking about using it as a reverse proxy tool. Just found a blog post on the tailscale site talking about how to do it and they’re using tailscale and caddy, rather than everything being handled by tailscale alone, so I’ll accept that I’m wrong on this one. https://tailscale.com/blog/last-reverse-proxy-you-need

I’ve seen lots of talk about headscale, an open source tailscale which allows you to create your own tailnet and I’m sure I’ve seen people talking about using tailscale as a reverse proxy tool, but it’s not something I’ve explored in detail.

Pangolin is somewhat higher on my list of things to explore than headscale though.

If you’re looking for a reverse proxy caddy and Traefik are also widely used.

With all of these solutions though you’re going to need to have some online provider somewhere handling DNS for you so that you can have your domains be pointed to your IP address.

I’ll throw another recommendation behind Karakeep. The fact I can share a page fromy mobile browser or use a browser extension on a laptop/desktop is excellent.

Another great thing for me is the oidc support so I can log in without passwords and rely on my Pocket ID instance and log in using a passkey. (Authelia, Authentic, Keycloak and similar identity providers would work too)

I’ve been using matrix for quite a while now and I’m very happy with it.

The thing to be aware of though is that it takes quite a bit of work to get started, but once you’ve got it up and running it doesn’t need much coddling. It’s got video calling built into it now and can be entirely web based if you want it to be. I have all of my signal, WhatsApp and SMS messages being brodged over through it which is handy. I’ve also got a discord bridge set up which will bring all DMs and let’s me bridge any of the servers I want to bring over.

it’s been my one app for communicating with anyone that wants to talk to me on any IM platform I use, as well as any of the federated rooms and spaces I want to access from other home servers I want to work with.

Edit: I also recently added authentication via oidc which was great as now I don’t need to worry about passwords as I just authenticate with passkeys on most of my self hosted services.

Oh, thanks for getting back with the overview. I appreciate it and will shortly be doing the swipe to mark as read once I find the option.

Mark as read on scroll will be great when that comes out too as that’ll work nicely for me.

I’m a fellow mbin convert myself. When the great exodus happened, I set up a Lemmy instance, but I took a 4 month break from it for reasons I don’t recall. When I tried to spin that instance back up it wouldn’t pull in new posts and didn’t support oidc, but I saw that mbin did, so I switched to that and was pretty happy with its look and feel.

Writing this message on the interstellar app just now. My only minor gripe is that there’s no way to mark something as read with a single tap that I’ve found. (Got to long press and mark as read, but I’ll accept that I may have missed something)
