Ghost Blog, Part Three

Man, I am feeling like I am spinning my wheels on this project lately. So things that need to be backed up are the content folder of Ghost, they kindly place everything you need in there. Then I'd need a backup of my docker-compose.yml file. Finally I&

I'm trying to work out backups today for my Ghost Blog. Ghost has a nice backup system built in to the GUI, but I'd like to work out a script to automatically do it for me. I found Ghost's documentation for backups. It lists

For years I have had this blog running off of Wordpress. I've worked with Wordpress for....gosh, I guess it has been 20 years now. That's crazy to me! Wordpress has become so popular in the past 20 years, I think I remember reading it runs

I had a thought that a monitoring tool would come in handy. Getting a notification when a website or an application goes down is always handy. My first challenge with setting up a monitoring tool is how worthless it is if it is on the same host, network, and internet

Calibre-Web Integration with Authentik, Part Two

So when I come back to this today I begin by running into a number of connection errors getting Calibre-Web to connect to Authentik Security's LDAP server. It looks like the LDAP requests are not passing through the proxy. Steps performed in Calibre-Web * Click on Admin * Click on

Calibre-Web Integration with Authentik

With my success yesterday integrating Tandoor Recipes with Authentik I want to keep the ball rolling and decide to see if I can get Calibre-Web integrated. A quick good search brought me upon Calibre-Web's documentation about LDAP Login. It starts by mentioning some additional packages and dependencies to

Tandoor Recipes Integration with Authentik

My wife has shown some interest in using Tandoor Recipes and instead of having her have to remember a number of different usernames and passwords for any of these applications I'm playing with, or having to manage a number of different usernames and passwords for her, I would

Docker Consolidation Project, Part Ten

Well I forgot about Automatic Server Reboots for DOCKER-01. Since I've consolidated the different applications from different servers on to one server it makes sense to have one script perform the remote reboot just once. So on my fileserver I create the script reboot-mounted-servers.ps1 # reboot-mounted-servers.ps1 # If

Decommission PHOTOPRISM-01 Coming back to this today. https://photos.domain.local is loading correctly now. It shouldn't have been a DNS issue, nothing there was changing. Oh it must of been cached in my browser that way. Doh! That was a silly oversight yesterday.

I have to admit I am so very tired of Adobe Acrobat. I hate how much it costs to provide so little to you. I really wish it would go the way of Adobe Flash and the dinosaurs. I came across Stirling-PDF and think this would be an amazing replacement
