Oh fantastic… That’s another 5 services to test drive.

I’ve been pretty satisfied with my *arr stack so far, but how are the alternatives?

otacon239@lemmy.world on 12 Dec 18:50 next collapse

Thank you for this! I’ve been trying to find a NextCloud replacement for years. I personally can’t stand the database approach to managing files. So glad to see Sync-In can just add a system folder directly without having to import.

bobslaede@feddit.dk on 13 Dec 07:04 collapse

There is also opencloud

switched from portainer to arcane recently. much easier on the eyes and the ability to save compose projects without deploying them yet is exactly what i was looking for. one thing is weird and i should prolly make an issue for it: no horizontal scroll or word wrap function in the compose editor, so for those compose files with extensive comments like npmplus you’ll have to have open in a text editor or webpage to read to the end of lines.

man, arcane looks amazing, I ended up deciding off it though as their pull requests look like they use copilot for a lot of code for new features. Not that I personally have an issue with this but, I’ve seen enough issues where copilot or various AI agents add security vulnerabilities by mistake and they aren’t caught, so I would rather stray away from those types of projects at least until that issue becomes less common/frequent.

For something as detrimental as a management console to a program that runs as root on most systems, and would provide access to potentially high secure locations, I would not want such a program having security vulnerabilities.

dan@upvote.au on 12 Dec 21:08 next collapse

a program that runs as root

Does it have to run as root? It’s common to run Docker in rootless mode in production environments.

Pika@sh.itjust.works on 12 Dec 21:18 collapse

while docker does have a non-root installer, the default installer for docker is docker as root, containers as non-root, but since in order to manage docker as a whole it would need access to the socket, if docker has root the container by extension has root.

Even so, if docker was installed in a root-less environment then a compromised manager container would still compromise everything on that docker system, as a core requirement for these types of containers are access to the docker socket which still isn’t great but is still better than full root access.

To answer the question: No it doesn’t require it to function, but the default configuration is root, and even in rootless environment a compromise of the management container that is meant to control other containers will result in full compromise of the docker environment.

ugh well that sucks butt. i’ll be trying new alternatives tonight i guess lol

any recommendations?

Pika@sh.itjust.works on 13 Dec 02:12 next collapse

Sadly no recommendations, I still use portainer myself

uninvitedguest@piefed.ca on 13 Dec 04:35 next collapse

Dockge?

Zeoic@lemmy.world on 13 Dec 05:28 collapse

I switched from Portainer to Dockge to Komodo. Been very happy with komodo so far

MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 13 Dec 15:43 collapse

I wouldn’t be exposing any management consoles to the internet either way, too much risk with something that has docker socket access.

Grass@sh.itjust.works on 13 Dec 01:07 next collapse

I’m just waiting for something like this with native podman support

MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 13 Dec 15:41 collapse

Komodo is the best portainer alt I’ve found, I read through the Arcane info but it doesnt seem as good. Komodos editor also works great.

priapus@piefed.social on 12 Dec 19:42 next collapse

Those media management apps look great. Sonarr and Radarr have both annoyed me a bit recently, I’ll definitely be looking into them.

WhatTheDuck@piefed.social on 13 Dec 15:26 next collapse

Any initial thoughts so far (if you’ve had the time to look into them)? I really want to find something that can support multi-season downloads. The *arr stacks have rejected the feature in the past and it’s been my biggest gripe lately.

The alternatives seem pretty young still. I wonder if anyone’s done a feature comparison between them…

TunaLobster@lemmy.world on 13 Dec 16:07 collapse

Like one download that has multiple seasons? Sonarr doesn’t do that itself, but you can do it with a manual import.

WhatTheDuck@piefed.social on 13 Dec 16:23 collapse

Thanks, I do, but I have other non-technical family members. They request media via Jellyseer, which then sends the request to Sonarr.

Most of the time it’s fine, but when the show has 8 seasons? It’ll download each episode individually - some of which won’t be available/poor quality/no subtitles. There’s often a season pack with all 8 seasons in it and are more reliable subtitles/quality wise.

It’s an infrequent but annoying quirk I have to manually intervene with.

Evotech@lemmy.world on 13 Dec 19:25 collapse

How so? I’ve ran them for years with zero issues

suicidaleggroll@lemmy.world on 12 Dec 20:56 next collapse

Thanks! BentoPDF is fantastic, I never knew something like this existed.

I have a todo list where I keep track of services I might be interested in one day, I read your post a few hours ago and added Bento to my list, thinking I might get around to it in a few days/weeks/months. Then out of nowhere 15 minutes ago I randomly needed to crop and split a PDF and realized I didn’t have anything to do it. I fired Bento up and was done in under a minute.

dan@upvote.au on 12 Dec 20:58 next collapse

You might be interested in StirlingPDF too.

fizzle@quokk.au on 12 Dec 21:56 collapse

Yeah I use StirlingPDF extensively.

I might give Bento a try but ultimately not much incentive to change.
