Still being a #SelfHosting noob, I managed to scramble my VPS provider's fallback root terminal by... using nano (it's not that I wasn't aware of awk and sed, I just thought I could conveniently use nano like always, lazy me!). I was in a browser window on my phone and I thought ^X could work, but it didn't. After I closed the window and then reopened the terminal, I couldn't do any commands because the text from the improperly closed nano-edited config was preventing me...

So I restored a backup from a few days ago, just to further reckon with how I haven't bothered until now to pin the ports so that Nginx would always work whenever Docker containers get regenerated - I know, I know, none of this sounds like best practices and in the future I'd like to switch all my server services from Docker on #Alpine (which, nonetheless, was the wisest Linux choice for me; consider how, for instance, I was not vulnerable to Copy Fail, because Alpine virt didn't load by default the affected kernel module in the first place) to #OpenBSD and its tools... but something tells me that isn't exactly a just one weekend project. I'm confident though that it's going to pay off with more peace of mind.

o historico ja vi que não vai ter jeito, mas vou ter q pensar em algo mais simples, como um floccus com meu nextcloud mesmo #selfhosting

Ok, #selfhosting #diy nerds, it's question time. I'm planning to host a personal site off of an old laptop I have laying around, on my residential internet connection.

I already have a domain name, but since I'm on residential internet, my IP changes ~1/week, so I'll need dynamic DNS. I've never done this before.

I'm thinking https://www.duckdns.org/ + https://ddclient.net/ to map my domain name -> host.

Planning on running this as close to bare-metal as I can (without docker or VM, just straight on the host).

Anyone who's done this and knows more than me have advice or alternatives? Anything else I should be aware of?

I've been meaning to ditch gitlab for a year or two or three already, but I guess there's no delaying any more. The only question is whether I'll install Forgejo in a FreeBSD jail or a Linux container...

I had found a very thorough server checker (e.g. TLS, DKIM, certificates, PFS, DMARC, you name it) here on the fedi at some point and thought I'd bookmarked it, but just can't find it anymore. Any recommendations from the sysadmin crowd?

I will migrate to @cryptomancer soon and see how the moving process works. After attending a conference in Ilmenau and wrestling DBAG to get there.

So…Bitwarden quietly swapped their CEO for a PE exit specialist, dropped “Always free”, rewrote their values, then half-scrubbed a 4 year old blog post to cover it. Post still contradicts itself. I looked. There was no announcement.

Turns out #haproxy is the culprit.

I have 23 backends with dns resolving and check enabled and by default haproxy seems to resolve and check like crazy.

Now running 51 containers on my home server.

When "idle", the top offender in my process list is:

Wonder if that's to expect with that kind of workload or if something is resolving names like crazy..

Now that I have my Masto server running on its own dedicated box, plugged into a stable and fast hardline, my brain is telling me I should revive my kamloops.social server project.

What the hell is wrong with me?!

Další sranda pak bude #nextcloud migrace z NextcloudPi na nový stroj a správné nastavení adresářů pro kontejnery, aby mohly sahat, kam chci...

Is there anyone out there running an AMD 5650GE based system running Linux or BSD?

Can you tell us your CPU and GPU idle power numbers as displayed in btop?

Maybe this is an "easy button" of sorts to reduce power on an existing AMD AM4 system without the going through the machinations of new mobo, ram, etc., etc. Get most of the way there?

Honestly over the year, i tested many app for chat, and one of them i unfairely refused to test, because it was a "ridiculous idea", fast forward a years, and it's now my default app, and the most stable one i had (even more stable than the Liar Signal).

This app is @delta

Please Try it, use it as much as possible, and go out the Signal's LIAR that try to maintain you in the GAFAM server ecosystem by telling it's impossible to run a chat otherwise Delta is the living proof they lied.

Spent the day trying to get #ProxMox GPU passthrough to work on my #Apple Mac Pro Trashcan hypervisor but all I got was blank output, or host console output, even tho the guest VM saw the PCI device. Can't figure it out. I think the dual GPU doesn't work in my favour. Guest system was #popos for gaming. I tried passing both through but them sometimes the VM couldn't find one of them. Any hints? #selfhosting #homelab

@fluffy so basically a #SelfHosting-cabable #Fedi.Server meets #DLNA, #BandCamp and #SoundCloud's #sharing features (#NowPlaying)?

Sounds cool!

Wow, I’m amazed by @forgejo !

Set it up over the weekend and migrated a couple of repositories over.

Amazingly simple to set up thanks to docker compose and good documentation!

Set up a runner as well, which was just as straightforward.

Everything just works.

Well done guys and girls!

@pikesley@mastodon.me.uk While I don't believe that 'Gitlab is about to go to shit' it'll certainly change and adapt to the times.
The pure bets and observations stated in the letter are probably justified for the 10-year period given. We'll see about what happens thereafter. And we'll see about the funky side-effects within the 10-year period.

Unrelated of that: Have I already recommended @forgejo on that matter? It scales from thin-client to @Codeberg is probably still very organically grown, awesomely self-hostable without the epic ruby-battle that is #Gitlab and generally awesome for very many use cases.

Also (not sure about the current state of the efforts there): The only SW forge that can do federation with others. Or at least was forked and built with this as a core idea.

I've been hosting more of my own stuff over time, but keeping up with the maintenance manually has been proving to be too much. I remember 100 years ago as a sysadmin setting up an Ubuntu management server to manage the fleet of Ubuntu servers at work in the style of the Red Hat stuff that did the same. Now I run a variety of instances, and I don't know what kind of orchestration machine I would need to spin up to keep things like OPNsense, remote *nix hosts, etc. up to date. Any recommendations?

Hi, great fedinetwork!

You can never have enough sources on digital independence, self-hosting and data governance! I'm collecting sources for a talk on these topics and I would love some more info!

Do you have some favorite sources, websites, blogs or articles about these (or adjacent) subjects? Please drop them in a reply!

Taking #selfhosting to the next level 😂 Built a small server for locally hosted LLM, to be used as a brain for my #openclaw assistants. It might be not the smartest one amongst OpenAI and Anthropic models, but hey, self-hosting is not about getting the best experience, it's about freedom! So I challenged myself to squeeze as much as possible out of this setup with system prompts and instructions.

@ppxl I have recently jumped into #homelab and #selfhosting . It is a ton of work, especially if you are not versatile with Linux system administration. There is a lot of command line configuration to be done and it is easy to go down rabbit holes that can be very deep. Sure there are tutorials, but the amount of tacitly presumed knowledge is more than I expected.

@wagesj45 @celesteh @Steldamm granted, that's due to #Apple being assholes and basically #MITM'ing all #PushNotifications, not a Problem of #XMPP+#OMEMO.

- Needless to say said Push Notification system on #iOS is an #InfoSec risk as those get stored unenvrypted on device!

#Signal being a #proprietary, #centralozed, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider service that neither has #ReproduceableBuilds nor #SelfHosting basically operates solely on "#TrustMeBro!" Security, and gven they demand a #PhoneNumber, the entire "#Metadate-#FUD" they pull is completely bs.

@Steldamm @celesteh And what makes you believe the #NSA doesn't get all the #data it wants from #Signal users via #Amazon #aws, which it's 100% dependent upon?

- You don't need much #metadata when the provider collects and habds out the #PhoneNumber they demand for signup, and from any Phone Number it's easy to go to the #ICCID of the #SIM and subsequently #IMSI and #IMEI.

https://c.im/@kkarhan/116549708544891634

IOW: If you expect Signal to cover your ass against the #NSA, I'd call you criminally stupid and if your threat model includes state-sponsored attackers like that, #SelfHosting your own #XMPP Server on the #Tor network is gonna be the least of your problems.

Cuz at that point chances are you're sleeping with more than a pistol under your pillow!
