    #SelfHosting week 0, phase 1B: DNS records settings. Performed @_elena 's instructions on her "self hosting for newbies" part 2. Except for the post-install as I run it through terminal and not through web UI. For an ms-dos-born it's easier to perform a simple command such as "yunohost tools postinstall" rather than go to web, then type, then search for the various UI elements. Everything went smooth, except for letsencrypt at first. But in the end it seems to have worked. It got stuck because hostinger panel didn't get one suggested parameter, the numeric 3600, every record has a parameter which is 3, 4 or 5 numbers.Created the domain and subdomain to point it to yunohost admin interface, and then obstacle came.Opening browser to subdomain, just returns "connection timed out".Checked for nginx parameters through yunohost terminal, using the desired Sudo commands.Then, "sudo yunohost diagnosis run""sudo yunohost diagnosis show --issues --human-readable"and I got explanation on reverse dns which was wrong.After that, I searched on the web (and on AI, I admit) the position on hostinger panel to set them, and I found "set tpr record"placed the desired domain name.And now it's time to wait for propagation. But what about the "connected timeout", in the article posted in blog.elenarossini.com no such obstacle was mentioned.I'm back to my 20s when I spent the night (it's almost 4 in the morning), learning commands.Last but not least, accessibility issue: I'm using an app called WebSSH pro, downloaded on app store. Set it up, and VoiceOver for iOS does not read the keys I press on keyboard so I'm very slow to type commands there. Pc is better. In a few hours I'll try hostinger's terminal.UPDATE: I have just found I set one DNS wrong, now I'll wait for it to propagate. Next update in some hours. I placed a useless number. Such as 72.162 (wrong) instead of 72.62 (right). Like when you start developing on your own and everything crashes due to a missing semicolumn in a string of code. #accessibility #yunohost #selfhost #blind

    Commitin programming crimes }:->Few weeks ago I seriously looked to the mine OpenHAB installation and asked a question for myself: "Am I really need it?" Look, I have a few ZigBee devices, which are connected to the my server with the help of ZigBee2MQTT. Thusly, all necessary values and knobs are accessible through the MQTT topics.And I'm using the OpenHAB (big Java application which eats ton's of RAM and constantly swapping) just to:1) Read values from MQTT topic2) Read weather forecast from Open-Meteo through simple REST API endpoints3) Store all the data to the PostgreSQL DB.4) Display these data in the nice Web page which works only in browsers with JS engine.So, basically, I trade tons of RAM and processing power just for a nice web-page with few indicators. While retrieving data from my ZigBee devices processed by the another service.After that thought, I started to think about replacing this monster with small hand-written program, which will not eat 700 MB of RAM. Just Nginx, small FastCGI script on C, which will read values from DB and display them on the simple HTML page. And another small daemon (also written in C) which will take data from MQTT topic (and from REST API of Open-Meteo) and will write them to the DB. And possibly some PGSQL procedures to analyze these data.At least I'll have fun #programming #C #smarthome #selfhosting
