Wistful, in App that tracks prices on websites?

I used browser extension Distill in the past, it’s pretty easy to use and it works well for detecting/tracking changes of the specific elements on the page. I think free version allows 25 local monitors.

I also just found this extension Automa, I’ve never used it, but it seems cool. Looks like a Tasker for your browser. And there are also a workflows that people share, I saw this one randomly, Scrap Google Suggest to SpreadSheet so I guess you could do a similar thing for prices.

CosmicTurtle,

Yeah I saw the Google sheets scraping tool and that looked promising but I don’t want to have to rely on Xpath since it could change.

Right now I’m leaning toward change detector but can’t get the reverse proxy to work.

There is a Firefox adding that can load a page amd extract a div, and track it over time. But the browser needs to be open. It is called PageProbe

I used it to track the price of an item, looking for a sale.

edit - updated the name and added link

This sounds like a dream for me, what I found was even better, was making a slick deals account and setting up an alert for exactly what I needed. That way I wasn’t mindlessly shopping and buying unnecessary things! Following this thread though cuz I’m interested!

macattack,

Same. Slickdeals and forget it. The website is a bit of a privacy nightmare w/ inserted tracking/referral links for every deal though. I’ve stopped logging in entirely and just use it for emailed alerts.

grehund, in Kubernetes? docker-compose? How should I organize my container services in 2024?

Proxmox. Currently considering upgrading from a single node to a 3 node Cluster for Ceph.

A tool that can track price changes on any website automatically is difficult since there isn’t a standard way that prices are presented on a website. As has already been said, changedetection is your best bet

cookie, in Intel N100 good enough for 1Gbits internet ?

I’m using a virtualized opnsense on an n100 and it handles my 1.5gb line fine.

JonnyJaap,

That you very much for the answer.

Can I ask why you are doing your firewall virtualized? I never understood why people do it, for me using bare metal has more advanced.

xbrowsersync already exists. Mozilla’s thing already exists too.

Change Detection can be used for several use cases. One of them is monitoring price changes.

Honestly, for personal use I just switched to straight Markdown that I edit with Vim (w/ Vimwiki plugin) or Markor on Android and synchronize with Syncthing. Simple, low effort, portable, does enough of what I need to get the job done.

And if I wanna publish a read-only copy online I can always use an SSG.

I did a similar inquiry a few months ago. I tried DocuWiki and Wiki.js. Ended up with Wiki.js. It’s very easy to setup with docker-compose. Everything is stored in Postgres but it also exports to the local filesystem in Markdown. Its advanced built-in search is pretty good.

Bookstack is what I self host, but this is the best pure markdown editor I’ve found: markdownlivepreview.com

I use raneto. Built using js. Flat file and uses markdown.

monkeyman512, in Kubernetes? docker-compose? How should I organize my container services in 2024?

I would stay away from kubernets/k3/k8s. Unless you want to learn it for work purposes, it’s so overkill you can spend a month before you get things running. I know from experience. My current setup gives you options and has been reliable for me.

NAS Box: Truenas Scale - You can have UnRaid fill this role.

Services Hosting: Proxmox - I can spin up any VMs I need and lots of info online to do things like hardware passthrough to VMs.

Containers: Debian VM - Debian makes a great server environment as it’s stable and well supported. I just make this VM a docker swarm host. I managed things with Portainer for a web interface.

I keep data on the NAS and have containers access it over the network. Usually a NFS share.

Second there. Running kubernetes at home is great - to learn it for work.

If you don’t need to use it for work then you’re going to spend weeks if not months setting it up for very little payoff at home

nopersonalspace,

How do you manage your services on that, docker compose files? I’m really trying to get away from the workflow of clicking around in some UI to configure everything, only for it to glitch out and disappear and I have to try and remember what things to click to get it back. It was my main problem with portainer that caused me to move away from it (I have separate issues with docker-compose but that’s another thing)

hi_its_me, (edited )

I have a similar setup to the above. Personally I use Docker Compose and backup up my compose scripts to the NAS.

monkeyman512,

Same

khorak,

I personally stepped away from compose. You mentioned that you want a more declarative setup. Give Ansible a try. It is primarily for config management, but you can easily deploy containerized apps and correlate configs, hosts etc.

I usually write roles for some more specialized setups like my HTTP reverse proxy, the arrs etc. Then I keep everything in my inventory and var files. I’m really happy and I really can tear things down and rebuild quickly. One thing to point out is that the compose module for Ansible is basically unusable. I use the docker container module instead. Works well so far and it keeps my containers running without restarting them unnecessarily.

I can’t remember what I was watching, but I remember watching something where they said Kubernetes is designed for something so large in scale that the only reason people have heard about it is because some product manager asked what Google use and then demanded that they use it to replicate the success of Google and subsequently, hobbyists also followed and now a bunch of people are using stuff that’s poorly optimized for such small scale systems.

nopersonalspace,

Haha yeah true, but it does come with the advantage that it’s super prevalent and so has a lot of tools and docs. Nearly every self-hosted service I use has a docs page for how to set it up with Kubernetes. (Although it’s not nearly as prevalent as plain docker)

CubitOom,

With a basic understanding of how k8s works and an already running cluster, all one needs to know is how to run a service as a docker file to have it also run in k8s

SeeJayEmm, in Best Way To Mount A Directory on Boot
@SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org avatar

Everyone’s saying fstab but if Navidrome is in a docker container, just mount it as a volume on your container. I found this guide that seems to document it fairly well.

phoenixnap.com/kb/nfs-docker-volumes

This is how I’m handling NFS mounts in my docker stacks.
