I use it for lots of things. I’m not a coder, so I can’t make my own apps from scratch. With Tasker I can make my own apps. I’ve made tons of them.

I still have a Reddit account because there are some core subs that haven’t migrated, but I don’t have to official app installed. I use Tasker to check Reddit and notify me of posts.

My memory is horrible and my schedule is varied every day, so I can’t set alarms for certain times. I made an app where I can say something to my watch and it will remind me depending on my location. For example, I can remind myself to get paper towels on my way home from work. When I leave work, it will send a reminder to my watch.

I use it for call screening. I only let calls from my contacts ring. It sends all other calls to voicemail.

I use it to run scripts in Termux.

I have a routine that will tell me why an app was closed.

I have it POST things to the timeline on my watch with JSON.

I have it reassign functions to my phone’s buttons. I made an app that turns on the flashlight when I shake the phone.

I have it put the battery level of my Bluetooth devices in my notification bar and on my watchface.

I have it gather weather and notify me conditions and severe weather alerts.

I could go on and on, but you get the idea. You can do just about anything with it.

I don’t self-host a lot of things, but I’d say this is not the easiest I’ve done, just because it involves setting up multiple containers (unlike something like SearXNG). Also thought that I had to set-up an SMTP container, but I got away with not having to do it.

I used ansible (and pass to store credentials), so this is how I did it (maybe someone can pitch in and tell me what I can improve):

- name: Deploy Wallabag database
  community.docker.docker_container:
    name: db_wallabag
    image: mariadb
    recreate: true
    state: started
    memory: 500MB
    restart_policy: always
    log_options:
      max-size: "10m"
      max-file: "1"
    env:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}"
    volumes:
    - ~/wallabag/data:/var/lib/mysql
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "mysqladmin", "ping", "-h", "localhost"]
      interval: 20s
      timeout: 3s

- name: Deploy Wallabag redis
  community.docker.docker_container:
    name: redis_wallabag
    image: redis:alpine
    recreate: true
    state: started
    memory: 500MB
    restart_policy: always
    log_options:
      max-size: "10m"
      max-file: "1"
    links:
    - "db_wallabag:db_wallabag"
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "redis-cli", "ping"]
      interval: 20s
      timeout: 3s

- name: Deploy Wallabag
  community.docker.docker_container:
    image: wallabag/wallabag:latest
    name: wallabag
    recreate: true
    state: started
    memory: 500MB
    restart_policy: always
    log_options:
      max-size: "10m"
      max-file: "1"
    links:
    - "redis_wallabag:redis_wallabag"
    - "db_wallabag:db_wallabag"
    ports:
    - "80"
    env:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}"
      SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_DRIVER: pdo_mysql
      SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_HOST: db_wallabag
      SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PORT: "3306"
      SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_NAME: db_wallabag
      SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_USER: db_wallabag
      SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_symfony_env_database_password', missing='warn') }}"
      SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_CHARSET: utf8mb4
      SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX: "wallabag_"
      SYMFONY__ENV__MAILER_DSN: smtp://127.0.0.1
      SYMFONY__ENV__FROM_EMAIL: wallabag@example.com
      SYMFONY__ENV__DOMAIN_NAME: 
      SYMFONY__ENV__SERVER_NAME: 
    volumes:
    - ~/wallabag/images:/var/www/wallabag/web/assets/images
    - ~/wallabag/data:/var/www/wallabag/data
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "wget", "--no-verbose", "--tries=1", "--spider", "http://localhost"]
      interval: 1m
      timeout: 3s

Then I set up caddy for the reverse proxy

- name: Upload Caddyfile
  ansible.builtin.copy:
    src: ./upload_files/Caddyfile
    dest: ~/Caddyfile

- name: Deploy caddy
  community.docker.docker_container:
    image: caddy:2
    name: caddy
    user: "1000:1000"
    recreate: true
    state: started
    memory: 500MB
    restart_policy: always
    log_options:
      max-size: "10m"
      max-file: "1"
    links:
    - "wallabag:wallabag"
    ports:
    - "80:80"
    - "443:443"
    volumes:
    - ~/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
    - ~/caddy_data:/data
    - ~/caddy_config:/config

And this is the Caddyfile

my.url.com {
    reverse_proxy wallabag:80
}

Finally, you then have to login with user:wallabag and password:wallabag and change them in the webUI. I changed the “wallabag” user to my user and set a new password.

You’re welcome!

I will check it out but, unless I’m just missing it, it doesn’t seem to have an iOS/iPad app. That unfortunately might be enough to be a dealbreaker

I’ve tried to get into Tasks.org a few times, and I really like just about everything about it, but the deal breaker for me is that is seems like it doesn’t have any collaboration features - can anyone tell me otherwise?

My partner and I have been making really good use of Todoist and its (admittedly limited) collaboration features - we have a ‘household’ project, and anything on that list is visible to both of us and can be assigned to a person.

I’d really love to get on a proper FOSS solution, but so far many of them are missing collaboration. Vikunja is really cool and has collaboration, but doesn’t have any widgets atm (important for my scatter-brain). Still on the hunt!

Also podcasts, with progress sync across devices.
