libre.moe is my domain for services hosted in the cloud using only free software. As the name implies, you will only find libre and FOSS services on here.
¶ Getting Started
Where to start using my services? Right here:
At first, start making an account on my account system. Most services here authenticate using it so an account is required for anything more than just browsing, but you will only have one singular login and password for all libre.moe, which is pretty cool if you ask me.
SSO Account System Sign up using the Login button in the top rightJust click on Login in the top right of that window and then click on Register to create an account. You will get an email with verification link, which you'll have to use in order to activate your account.
¶ Services
So what can you find here? Here's a list of different services hosted on here. There are actually a bit more, but those are sub-services for these listed here, so there is no point in listing it here.
Please note that the services which directly prompt you for a login have no publicly browsable information whatsoever, like Nextcloud. For these, an account is strictly required.
Publicly useable services:
GitLab Git & Package hosting, CI/CD, issue & project management
Nextcloud 1 GB of free storage including apps for contacts, calendar and todo tasks
Vaultwarden Password-manager fully compatible with Bitwarden clients
Szurubooru Imageboard used as our Meme-repository
Rustpad Simple and efficient collaborative text and code editor
Mumble High quality voice-chat
¶ Rustpad
Rustpad is an open-source collaborative text editor, allowing you to share links to anyone and edit together. My server stores documents for 90 days of inactivity, after which the document will be permanently deleted from production.
¶ Vaultwarden
Vaultwarden ist eine freie Implementation vom Bitwarden-Server. Der Server reaagiert in den Kern-Aspekten gleich zum originalen Server, schaltet jedoch alle Premium Funktionen frei und läuft der der libre.moe Infrastruktur. Leider ist Vaultwarden nicht mit dem Accountsystem kompatibel und benötigt pro Nutzer ein eigenes Konto, u.a. weil das Passwort für die Verschlüsselung benötigt wird.
Vaultwarden bietet eine sehr hohe Verschlüsselung mittels PBKDF2 mit 600.000 Iterationen, nach offiziellen Bitwarden-Spezifikationen und OWASP-Empfehlung. Es ist jedoch trotzdem sehr empfehlenswert eine 2-Faktor-Authentifizierung mittels einer entsprechenden TOTP-App einzurichten.
Achtung: Da nur mit dem Masterpasswort auf die Daten zugegriffen werden kann, ist es nicht möglich sein Passwort zurückzusetzten, ohne dendabei alle in Vaultwarden gespeicherten Daten zu verlieren.
Um diese Instanz in den Bitwarden-Apps zu nutzen, muss lediglich der Sevrer auf "selbst-gehostet" umgestellt, und die Adresse https://vault.libre.moe eingegeben werden. Andere Adressen oder weitere benutzerdefinierte Einstellungen sind nicht erforderlich.
¶ Mumble
Mumble is a free, open source, low latency, high quality voice chat application - similar to TeamSpeak.
¶ Web Proxy
Mumble is usually meant to be used with their desktop application, but for easy of use we also host a proxy that allows connecting to our server via a web browser. We use mumble-web and mumble-web-proxy to provide this service.
To access this proxy, simply open https://mumble.libre.moe in a web browser. The dialog that opens on the website should already be populated the correct settings, just select a username and hit connect.
Be advised that voice latency is a bit higher when connecting via web proxy, a native client will always perform better.
¶ Installation of a client
To use Mumble natively, simply download a client from mumble.info and follow the onboarding set-up experience.
During set-up you will be asked a few questions, here are my recommendations:
- Use the automatic certificate generation
- Don't enable public servers if you just want to our server
- Set your voice quality to High
- After set-up, go into your settings and set your voice bitrate to 96 kbit/s (or go even higher if you'd like, the server allows for up o 192 kbit/s - even tho it's just placebo at that point).
¶ Connect to our server
Add a new server to your server list using the address mumble.libre.moe (using the default port 64738) and connect to it.
You can use any kind of username you want, as long as it isn't taken by another user.
**
Done! You are now using Mumble ^^.
¶ Register to the server
To claim your username so only you can use it, register to the server using your client certificate. Be sure to copy your certificate to all your devices, as you can only use that username with your specific certificate going forward.
WARNING: If you lose your certificate, no one can use your username anymore - not even you. Be sure to back it up (for example to our Nextcloud server).
To register, simply right-click your username and select "Register". That's it.
From now on, every time you log on, you (any only you) will automatically use that username - even if you tell Mumble to use a different one, as you will be identified by your certificate.
¶ Matrix
We (a small group of friends) also use a Matrix-server ourselves, which you can join too. It's sort of like a discord server, but libre and hosted by us. The server is hosted on komu.boo but it's using the libre.moe account system. So you need to create an account here in order to login there (which sounds more complicated than it is).
It should be noted that the primary language used, is German, since we are from Germany.
Matrix on komu.boo Using the element web-uiIf you encounter issues like "registration is disabled", that's because you can't register to the Matrix-server directly, as it's using the libre.moe account system. Try to login instead and then register on the login page ^^.
¶ Status Monitor & Issues
In case you ever have issues with the services, be sure to check my uptime montor at status.libre.moe. This is actually not hosted by myself and also not libre, but a very helpful resource to me for detecting issues with my services.
If you encounter any issues, feel free to contact me or - even better - create an issue on my Gitea.
Status Page on BetterStack non-libre but very helpful
Issue Tracker on Gitea Issues regarding any kind of service
The issue tracker is also a very helpful resource for general problems, issues and work being done on services or other stuff regarding to libre.moe and also komu.boo. Feel free to look through or create an issue if you have any issues or want to propose a change.
