  In 2016 I got a cheap webcam (D-Link 930L) and configured it to ftp motion-triggered images to a pi B which would pass them on to me via Telegram.

  How do you self host git?
  • ndsipa_pomu 4y ago
    One way is to run a self hosted gitlab-ce instance in docker.

    You run a git server on a public facing machine: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protocols https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protoco... I run mine on the linode hosting my blog. The web interface is generated by stagit. https://jeskin.net/blog/self-hosting-git-with-stagit/ https://jeskin.net/blog/self-hosting-git-with-stagit/

    you got some good answers, just adding this as a you-should-know. you can simply self-host git in any ssh server as long as you don't need to share access. in the remote server just "git --bare init" a directory, in your local computer "git remote add myorigin ssh://server/path/to/dir" and start pushing. you could also do the same thing for a dropbox directory adding a file:// remote. git is just some files lying around, no weird binary formats or servers needed, it's brilliant

      Oh neat. Thanks!

    Another perhaps lesser known way is to "git add origin /path/to/repo". For example works great on networked file share with no proper git server required.

  Nice, I did almost the exact same project a couple years ago, but using an almost entirely different software stack... I used imgcomp for taking and comparing the pictures, Syncthing for sending them up to my vps, and gotify to ping my phone when motion is detected. It's a bit of a duct-taped solution at the moment but it's been working flawlessly to monitor a property without wifi, I hope to clean it up into something I can present to the world eventually.

    I think duct-taped solutions are still worth presenting to the world :) I’ll definitely read your write up if you get the chance to work on it!

  Eh, you'd be better off with actual security camera + some OSS software to write it on you NAS . After you buy rPi, camera, IR light, case, power supply it will cost same or more
