Reminder that I post to #Mastodon more than I do here. The greater character limit, the ability to edit posts if I make a mistake and the audience in general makes it a better experience for me than #Bluesky, so follow me there, 🙂

#Nextcloud 32.0.1 is available according to my server. The changelog hasn't been posted yet, but the update is available, at least if you're using the manual tarball version with your own database/webserver setup like I am. I'm not sure about the availability of the snap or docker versions.
A screenshot of an email from my Nextcloud server informing me version 32.0.1 is available.

My Minecraft, Luanti and Kiwix service files were created by me to start with, so they're fine. So Anubis is the only thing left that I'll have to manually edit its service file after each update. I wonder if there's a config file for it to accomplish something similar.

Brainstorming ways to minimize manual work keeping my custom systemd services inside their chroot jails even thru package upgrades that might overwrite the systemd service file. Turns out #Jellyfin has a config file that allows you to modify the default systemd service file directives.

#Linux
A partial screenshot of my /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d/jellyfin.service.conf file, showing that I've added a "RootDirectory = /mnt/jellyfinchroot" directive.
