After months of procrastination, today I finally took the time to set up an instance of Panoramax in my homelab. The setup was very smooth. Actually, I had booked the full day for it, and by 12PM the instance was publicly available.

At the moment, I'm not accepting contributions (pictures) since I want to make sure everything is running fine before opening to the public.

Kudos to @panoramax for this amazing project!

#Panoramax #homelab #selfhosting #osm

And, we’ve finally done, a mere 10 hours after starting.

Pro tip: Don’t accidentally disable sshd.service before rebooting a headless server.

#selfhosting

It is home sever rebuild day. Wish me luck.... #selfhosting

I'm #hiring again and I really do wish people would look me up more before they applied. I'm not going to be impressed with your #google workplace skills, or your use of #canva, or any #socialmedia app.

If one, just one applicant, mentioned their open source or #selfhosting skills, that would be a ticket to an immediate interview.

Here's something really useful I've found.

One of the great things about the Fediverse is being able to follow hashtags.

But.

If someone puts up a post using that hashtag, and no-one on your instance follows that person or anyone who shares it, it won't appear in your feed.

This is particularly common if you're on a small or single-user instance.

Here's the solution.

First, follow @_followback

It will follow you back.

And then tags.pub bot then reshare all of your posts that use hashtags.

So if you do a post with the hashtag #Fediverse, then @fediverse will share your post.

Here's where the magic happens.

The tags.pub bot will do the same thing to everyone else who follows that followback account.

So if you follow @fediverse, then you'll get a feed of everyone who uses #Fediverse on the Fediverse.

And you'll see their posts even if no-one on your instance follows them.

And it works for all hashtags.

Just put the name of the hashtag, followed by @tags.pub

So @tech follows all posts using #tech, for example.

Or @news follows all posts using #news

Już nieaktualne... Odkryłem https://stalw.art/ i dla mniej ważnych "aliasowych" maili już hostuje i testuje :D Instalacja na nixos i setup super łatwy - wszystko zadziałało out-of-the-box.

Normalnie podpiąłem skrzynkę pod kmail i iOSową apkę mail - zero problemu. Testowe maile poprzechodziły - zero problemu, wszystko ładne opisane w ich guidzie jak pokonfigurować DNSy. Dzisiaj już "na dobre" skończyłem setup wrzucając nowy klucz gpg na yubi - jak podziała stabilnie przez rok i przejdzie kilka upgradów to wszystko przeniose.

Right, that's it - litestream.io is being to flaky. It's time to migrate my #email server from #sqlite to #PostgreSQL. Pray for me. #selfhosting

And, migration done. Live database on PostgreSQL and replicating to an offsite backup. It would have been straightforward had I not messed up the permissions.

Next step is PITR, but that can wait.

Ich habe jetzt meine eigene PeerTube-Instanze. Die Installationsanleitung von PeerTube war sehr gut!

As lunatics do, I've been setting up a home server for a coworker for the last week or two. I have Plex, Immich, and the -arr stack finally all up and running.

He said he wants to be able to play emulated games up to PS2 on his TV with it. At first, I didn't think it was possible. Then I stumbled onto Games on Whales.

https://games-on-whales.github.io/

I'm still wrapping my head around the config (and I'm not thrilled about the NextcloudAIO-like automatic Docker container spin-ups).. But I think this will do what he wants.

It'll be up to him to find a controller with acceptable latency on a Google Streamer, though.

#GlitchySocial #Mastodon instance has 5 users now, including me. Only one of them never logged in after registration. It took a blink of an eye to transfer from “hey, I should try to #selfhost a Mastodon instance” to “hey, I’m a service provider now”. Can’t say I’ve got much power but responsibility for sure.

How I enhanced my homelab to get connected on the go, without using any other software than wireguard and acme.sh.

This guide walks you through obtaining a wildcard SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt using acme.sh and Cloudflare as the DNS provider.

Hosting a my small static websites, I wonder if my roughly 40MBit uplink with a static IP is good enough to host it.

Schönen guten Abend zusammen! Wird Zeit für ein kurzes #Neuhier.
Ich habe endgültig genug von Datenkraken, nervigen Abos und der ewigen Cloud-Abhängigkeit. Deshalb verbanne ich Big Tech gerade Stück für Stück aus meinem Alltag. Die ersten Dienste werfe ich lokal über Docker an und ich fuchse mich immer tiefer in Themen wie #DeGoogle, #SelfHosting und #SimpleX rein.
Suche hier nach Gleichgesinnten, die auch lieber selbst hosten statt mieten.

Zum Thema #serverhygiene: Meine Postfix-Config war wohl etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

Problem: Mein Server erzeugte Bounces und versuchte externe Zustellung (die zwar geblockt ist), aber die Queue lief voll.

Ursache:
`local_recipient_maps = passwd.byname` → System-User wie `mail` wurden als gültige Empfänger akzeptiert.

Fix:
`local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/aliases`

Erkenntnis:
Bei Postfix + Cyrus keine System-User als Empfänger zulassen.

Ich habe gute Nachrichten:
Meine Peertube Instanz ist wieder online😃(allerdings unter einer neuen Adresse da die alte Adresse mit meiner Fritzbox und DynDNS partout nicht mehr wollte).
Konnektivität läuft nun ausschließlich via IPv6.

Ihr findet sie unter der folgenden URL:

Bitte nicht wundern über die aktuelle Inhaltsleere dort. Ich habe sie bisher noch nicht vollständig eingerichtet.
Das hole ich in nächster Zeit nach und informiere anschließend damit ihr eure Abos umswitchen könnt.

New blog post: Speeding Up Forgejo CI with a Custom OCI Image

My blog's pipeline spent more time installing dependencies than actually building the site. Two commits and one Containerfile later, that step is gone entirely.

Bonus: Forgejo ships with a built-in OCI container registry, so the whole thing is self-contained on a single instance. No Docker Hub, no external registry.

I replaced #LooseIt with a #selfhosted #SparkyFitness.

A new fitness tool usually boosts my motivation to return to calorie counting and exercising. So today, a new attempt to lose weight has started. Usually, all my attempts are successful, but not permanent.

Hey Fediverse! I'm Boyd, Single dad in East Van, yoga studio owner and teacher at STRETCH and founder of EatMyWords.

When not on the mat or skiing with my kiddo, I'm racing cyclocross, training for half marathons, or tinkering with my Proxmox homelab. Big believer in self-hosting, open source, and digital privacy.

Happy to connect with folks into #yoga #selfhosting #linux #cyclocross #running #opensource #privacy #homelab #Vancouver

I’m #SelfHosting my Photos (#Immich) and Video collection (#Jellyfin).

Now I’m thinking about self-hosting a notes app to replace Apple Notes/Google Keep.

Any recommendations?

Oh btw today I discovered that Forgejo can serve as a Docker registry :o

Good morning Fedi friends!

A routine reminder that I've been running a series of #blog posts - "a newbie's guide to #selfhosting with #YunoHost" - and so far I've published 5 articles:

🔗 : https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-with-yunohost/

Every week I receive messages from people mentioning how my guide helped them embark on their self-hosting journey. This makes me SO HAPPY, thank you!

I wonder if you have requests for future articles? Or do you think the series is now complete?

Should I get a .earth domain? I like the ring of it. Like, you know, I'm a citizen of Earth, fuck borders and nationalists and all that. The company behind it doesn't seem to be evil, but information is sparse.

#SelfHosting

My search has, thus far, been fruitless so I am asking here as a last ditch attempt …

I am looking for a self-hostable web based application to be an inventory of the (real, rather than e-) #books in the house. It should be able to accept a list of #ISBNs as input for importing items and look them up (with covers) to ingest their metadata.

It doesn't need #library style circulation (I don't want to run a library so don't want #Koha or equivalent)

I've been using #HomeBox which is ok but only understands "things" rather than "books" (I've written a isbn2homebox script to make that easier). I'd like something purpose designed for books though.

Does anyone use anything like this? There are plenty of free or subscription things available online, but I want to run this myself.

Thanks ☺️

Been playing around with FreshRSS over the weekend. Pretty cool! Especially when combined with morss to convert RSS feeds that are intro only into full text feeds.

But the mobile view is pretty bad! Had to spend some time adding Custom CSS to make it acceptable to me.

Might blog about it soon.

#FreshRSS #RSS #SelfHosting

Here are the changes I made. Very minor, but it does look a lot neater, in my opinion:
