## Email
I am still using GMail as my main mailbox, but I am trying to stay away from the web interface as much as I can. A long time ago, I set up mbsync to sync my GMail down to my laptop, and I use mutt to read emails from there. There are some emails which really need a GUI version to read it (mainly marketing type things), so I have a script to open it in FireFox.

## Document storage
I got an email from Google which told me that the promotional period on some storage was expiring, which got me to move everything personal out of Google Drive into my NextCloud server I run at home. I have to leave some things there as I use it as a file storage for an group I help run.
My [NextCloud](https://www.nextcloud.com) server has been given a bit of attention. I upgraded it to 17.0.2 and converted the SQL storage from SQLite to MariaDB. Things seem to be going very well with that. I also switched the docker container image from the NextCloud one to the one provided by [LinuxServer.io](https://linuxserver.io). They do a good job of packaging up images and providing a common way to manage and configure their docker images. I have switched over all my images to use theirs where I can.

Next steps here are to upgrade to NextCloud Hub 18, which is the latest release, and to get everybody else in the house storing their files on the NextCloud sever.
## Media (Music and Videos)
Back before there was stable and wide-spread music streaming services, I had managed to amass a large-ish music collection which I used various local clients to play. Once I decided to ditch Google Play Music, I needed a way to get play my music where ever. Enter in [Airsonic](https://airsonic.github.io/), a music streaming server I can run under docker here at the house. For my phone, I am using an application called Dsub ([F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/github.daneren2005.dsub/), [Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=github.daneren2005.dsub)) which lets me cache the music on my phone so I can play it without using the phone's data connection.

My next step here is to take the playlists I made in Play Music and port them over to AirSonic. I will also need to purchase some of the songs I am missing.

## Source control (git).
I have been running an instance of [Gitea](https://gitea.io/en-us/) for a while. It is a great basic git repo with web-front end. I have been playing with [GitLab](https://gitlab.com) at work and I might want to try it out. Yeah for docker making it easy!
