I am looking to host a **de-federated** mastodon instance for 300 to 500 people.

I wanted to know what kind server specs I should go for for this kind of project. should I go for 8gb or 4gb of RAM, roughly how many vCPUs/threads, etc..

#fediverse #mastodon #SelfHosting #activitypub #homelab

The closer I get to #selfhosting my own #email, the more I'm finding myself unsubscribing and blocking emails coming into my personal inbox.

SSH management direkt aus dem terminal heraus.

SSHM greift direkt auf deine ssh config zu und du kannst alle deine hosts mit einer taste anpingen oder connect.

Mega cool!

@mosgaard you're all missing the simple and obvious. *Every* Linux File Browser *already* has built-in support to connect to a remote SFTP share (the remote #linux box needs the "openssh-server" installed).
It goes almost full wire speed, even on tiny files. Beats SMB for speed. I use this heavily in my home lab. For example in #KDE Dolphin: "Network": icon on left - > "Add Network Folder" button in the upper right - > "Secure shell (ssh)" radio button.

Not sure why I did this, but ejabberd works fine on my gen 1 raspberry pi (14 years old, 512mb RAM). Would probably enough to handle a small instance for friends and family.

Self-Hosting is not just a safety feature. It is a political act.

I did not find any documentation or issues on this very nice topic on the web, maybe Fedi can help:
I want to ssh into a remote server and a CLI tool there needs to access my yubikey, which is slotted in the machine i am connecting from.
Is there any way to relay this between the machines?
I do not need help with using the yubikey to log on via ssh...

Not sure which hashtags to use here, if you have any good ones, let me know.

I'm looking for a simple web based chat app that I can selfhost . I'd prefer something with voice chat but I need to keep bandwidth low. IRC may be too key-board heavy for this use case

suggestions are welcome

I was kind of not bothered to address IP renewal whilst self hosting but it turns out my ISP does indeed refresh IPs every now and then so I finally set up a utility to refresh domain records

I have an #xmpp server now. A #prosody instance. And I need to make a statement.

There are no good clients for macOS and iOS.

I think I tried all of them. #Monal is a lesser evil.

There is also #Fluux that is very good and really looks like software from the current century, but it still doesn’t support encryption.

This is sad 😔

Oh for fuck’s sake. TrueNAS has been my go-to recommendation for people wanting to build their own home NAS, but I guess it’s off the list now that the enshittification has begun. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1rpck7k/truenas_build_system_going_closed_source/

tl;dr: they’re moving from a public GitHub repo to closed internal systems for “SeCuRiTy”… likely story considering they’re rolling out new features behind a paywall (see https://www.reddit.com/r/truenas/comments/1qvu7f8/truenas_freemiumpaywalling/)

I see a lot of self-hosters have Macs in their #homelab. I’m wondering how it works? Is it still MacOS on it or is it just Apple hardware with Linux on it?

For all the #Mastodon #selfhosting folks out there, any idea what I should be looking at as far as backoff timers or whatever from other instances coming back down, after something like a week of downtime? Several instances, most notably infosec.exchange, still haven't been sending me new messages, some 18 hours later.

I didn't even get one when I tagged myself in a new post - https://infosec.exchange/@north/116199899292856762 - until I searched for it¹. Any insight maybe, @jerry ?

Curiously, Threads and brid.gy started sending me messages within about 15 minutes of coming back online. That seems bad.

¹ at that point, it became a pull, not a push

Edit: A boost from the other side does not appear to have been correctly pushed.

I’m trying to build a USB-C only 10“ Rack. I would like to add a #Lenovo ThinkCentre M80q Gen 3. Has anyone tested the Lenovo USB-C to Slim-Tip adapter (Lenovo 4X90U45346) with a small ThinkCentre desktop before? #homelab #selfhosted #selfhosting
Maybe also @thinkpadmuseum help?

D'ailleurs, l'instance Papra BlablaLinux tourne déjà avec toutes ces optimisations !

sind #authelia Nutzer hier, die das in einem kleinen #selfhosting / #homelab Umfeld betreiben, für ca 10 Dienste und max 2 User? Lohnt sich Overhead und Administrationsaufwand dafür überhaupt, oder ist das dann eher eine Spielerei „weil man es kann“?

Ich habe mich noch gar nicht damit befasst, was das so voraussetzt und weil ich mir nicht unbedingt das nächste Rabbithole aufmachen will. Am Ende ist der Komfortgewinn ja eher überschaubar ggü der Nutzung eines Passwort-Managers denke ich mir so.

Pixel Watch 2 - Privacy Preserving Setup

I've been trying everything i could think of to make the watch work under GrapheneOS - Here is what i learned:

• Unpairing the Watch means factory resetting it.
• Every feature (literally everything) is google dependent (who would have thought.. i know)
• Pairing with your phone requires the "Pixel Watch" -App to be installed on your main profile (not work, not private space) alongside Google Play Services. There's no way around.

This is obviously unacceptable. So i did a bit of research and found a way that will not only be way more practical, it will also be private.

First i created a second user on my Phone, installed Google Play Services and the pixel watch app on it, logged in with a newly created google account and completed the setup.

I know some people use a chinese version of the WearOS app to bypass the google login. Since i don't want a chinese app to configure my watch, i didn't even try that.

After the watch was set up, i continued and:

• Deleted the user profile from which i connected the Watch
• Enabled wireless debugging
• Debloated the watch as good as possible (i will have to root the watch in the future to properly do it)
• Removed the Google account in the settings
• Cleared all Bluetooth preferences
• Enabled Bluetooth discovery
• Installed KDE Connect on it (not meant for WearOS but it does work barely)

The watch is now in a state where i can use it daily.

But i also want to make use of all those fancy quality-of-life features, like heartrate monitoring, sleep tracking and so on.

Now comes the fun part.

I've created a basic Kotlin project with both a mobile and WearOS app.

I will implement features like:

• Notification sync
• Call notifications
• Media Player Control
• Weather (openweathermap)
• Heartrate monitoring
• Sleep tracking
• Do not Distrurb Sync
• Homelab integrations (Nextcloud, Immich, Uptime Kuma, ..)
• And much more ..

The goal is to keep the watch offline, let the phone do the heavy lifting and communicate with a selfhosted database. I may even add a frontend and an API so people can integrate it for their needs.

Sounds good but why don't you just buy an #opensource #smartwatch like the #pinetime - You may ask.

Because as much as i hate to admit it, i love the design, the look and feel of the pixel watch. And i'm sure that i'm not the only one.

I also bought this one cheap for around 120€ #refurbished. So the value i can get out of it seems pretty good to me.

So much for today. I haven't even started tackling the Bluetooth connection yet 😅. Let's see how that turns out

I have added a poll to this post to see how many people would be interested in a setup like this. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, ideas or expertise in that regard.

Cheers.

sysadmin day

Create your own Certificate Authority using bare OpenSSL - is the outcome of this week's tinkering. I wrote the basic things down as a step-by-step guide so we can all have nice things 😃

It intentionally omits more advanced stuff like intermittent certificates, typically found in a more mature setup. The goal is to get your hands dirty, not run the next Let's Encrypt. That'll be the next blog post ... 😉

I wanted to do a small project with my niece to introduce her to some basics of #linux and #selfhosting , but it seems to most diffuclt part of this enterprise is getting hardware!

Con U$D 3 cada uno de los 223 usuarios activos (estimo que los 14 y 80 de peertube y xmpp tambien usan mastodon), cubrimos casi por completo lo que necesita Mastodon Uy para lograr mayor estabilidad energética, sin contar que aún sigue en déficit el server.
Si podés, colabora che! Que este server se banca entre todos. 🙌💪🖖

Is there an easy way to set up a reverse proxy so that jellyfin.local would direct to 192.x.x.x:8091 without getting a public domain involved?

I still only want it available from my home network - just don't want to type out the IP + port all the time
