  • Hey Daniel, thanks for making this and 4.0 has been a great update! I’ve been using this with owntracks since I saw it posted here a few months back and it’s been great.

    There is one thing that I was wondering about - do you have any plans to be able to smooth out wonky data that gets imported? In my case it’s from google takeout. I recently imported my location data from my old google takout backup and location data is all over the place. For example, here is my 2017 trip from the US to Japan and back. I totally understand that this is a problem with the data though

  • It’s just a hobby so i know I have room for improvement, but the bigger my environment gets the more difficult it is to keep everything completely up to date, like you said. Given that, my main priorities are:

    • have as few internet facing services as possible
    • use a reverse proxy
    • separate external and internal servers with a dmz
    • use fail2ban or crowsec on servers that have ports forwarded
    • firewall geoblocking
    • BACKUPS, local and remote

    Now that being said, I’ve started to use ansible playbooks for deploying OS updates. I have a playbook that uses default options when doing an apt upgrade and it also works for the docker engine user prompt.

    About 75% of my services are native installs in LXCs and I try to always install by including the app repo so that apt can update it and the other 25% are in docker. I used to use watchtower but that’s no longer maintained, so I do container updates manually as needed.

    It’s not perfect, but it’s just for fun so 🤷
