If I’m being completely honest, it sounds like you hit a problem and then just kinda gave up (I’m not trying to sound mean or anything - please don’t take it that way).
I got the same impression. Which is fine if that’s someone’s approach, but that same person probably shouldn’t be on an arch-based distro if that’s the case.
Yup! Mostly symfonium since i mostly use my phone for music. Started using feishin recently for desktop use and have been really impressed with it. I can recommend both!
for music both jellyfin and navidrome are subsonic API compatible for use with mobile and desktop apps (like symfonium and feishin). Some people choose to just use jellyfin instead of a dedicated music service. Personally i still run navidrome for music. I give some thoughts on that here
This is what i do. Have certbot running every night, and it’ll auto skip if it is too soon to renew. If renew is successful then it’ll deploy. Pretty much set and forget it.
Hugo (markdown) files that i host on my internal server.
I use basic directory structure. Top level directories are like “dev”, “home”, “general”. Self hosting is a dev/ subdir.
Depends on how familiar i am with it and how often I’ll be referencing it. Something i know well or access often will be more high level. Things like an annual process i have documented in more detail
My site has an “edit this page” feature which i use to open my IDE and make the change as I’m doing things. Sometimes I’ll be lazy and just add in what i did this time and then let future me reconcile the differences 🙃
