mastodon mis à jour en 4.7.0 !

#selfhosting

Who needs the cloud when you can have a server rack? Switched from AWS to my own setup this week. #selfhosting #meshnetworking #datasovereignty

Less latency, more control. Plus, no GDPR worries!

Today my Termix answered with a 404 this morning 🫠 CloudFront was fine, EC2 was fine (obviously since 404 was returned from nginx). There was just nothing behind it.

Termix on :latest, the host updates everything at night, and by morning it was exit 1, restart, 1, restart.

It is a Graviton box, so I went at the architecture first and the architecture was innocent. docker inspect said linux/arm64. Right image, right machine.

The mismatch was inside it. better-sqlite3 ships a prebuilt binary linked against GLIBC 2.38 and the image has 2.36, so the linker refuses and node never starts.

Pinned 2.6.1 and it came back (AWS Sessions Manager saved me).

I put :latest there on purpose a year ago, FOMO, and because it is only a homelab. A homelab I route every other server through.

ntfy has been sending me those logs every night. I read them.

I am clearly going to keep reading them exactly the same way. The hard lesson learned.

Bug Report is still open BTW: https://github.com/Termix-SSH/Support/issues/1184

Diagram titled From :latest to 404, subtitled it moved overnight, I found out in the morning. On the left a numbered chain of six steps under the heading how the bastion went down. 01, colon latest, a tag I chose on purpose. 02, at night, the host pulls and restarts. 03, termix 2.7.0, new image, linux slash arm64. 04, its prebuild, wants GLIBC 2.38. 05, the base image, has GLIBC 2.36. 06, exit 1, crash loop, then a 404. On the right, under the heading what it was saying all night, a black panel labelled docker logs termix shows the error output: version GLIBC_2.38 not found, required by better_sqlite3.node. Below it three rows. docker inspect, linux slash arm64, right image. issue 1184, already open, same error. pin 2.6.1, and it came back. At the bottom a note reads: a prebuilt binary carries the glibc it was built on. Nothing on the host changed, the tag moved underneath it.

🐘 Mon instance Mastodon vient de passer en 4.7.0 !

Grosse mise à niveau côté interne (sécurité, nouveaux protocoles ActivityPub, préparation à la 5.0), presque invisible côté utilisateurs — mais ça méritait un petit guide.

📝 J'en ai profité pour documenter toute la procédure Docker Compose (backup, migrations, bascule) sur mon wiki, pour celles et ceux qui gèrent leur propre instance :

What do #SelfHosted community think about @ente? Did anyone try to #SelfHost it? Do shared albums appear in the timeline?

It is a very interesting project, I need to say.

I knew of the existence of paperless-ngx for a long time. A new YouTube video now finally gave me the push to set up an instance on my VPS. It’s configured to use Bunny.net storage using S3 and rclone for the media files, and a restic backup is configured to regularly back up the bucket to Scaleway. Now I just need to upload all the documents and start to scan all those papers. 🖨️

Uh...I have a VPS in Helsinki?

The Sovereign Auditor articles page just got dragged into the 21st century: searchable tags, instant title/excerpt filtering, no more scrolling past 50 headlines to find the one you half-remember.
No third-party search widget, no analytics call, no dependency added, just vanilla JS reading the page you're already looking at. Consistent with the rest of this operation: if it can run client-side with nothing phoning home, it does.

My fellow homelabbers and homehosters, do you have a scheduled time where your home server(s) is turned off?

For example I do have mine to shutdown during the night and switch on back at the morning.

Decentralize with self-hosted services! Take back control from corporate clouds and their surveillance. #selfhosting #digitalfreedom

How I evaluate software/services in 2026:

• Big Tech involvement
• AI integration
• Surveillance/telemetry
• Jurisdiction? (including 14 Eyes alliance)
• Data transportability (can I export, migrate, integrate?)
• Funding model (who pays, what are their incentives?)
• Self-hostable
• Openness (source, protocols, governance)
• Community health (maintainer diversity, bus factor)
• Social policy alignment? (LGBTQIA+, political positions)
• License? (GPL preferred, OSI-approved accepted)

Software freedom is inherently political. I will not separate the tool from the hands that build it, the money that funds it, or the laws that govern it.

Some failures are disqualifying. Others are negotiable based on context. The framework is politically coherent, not a compromise.

Is there anything else you consider before committing to software or services?

New Blog Post: Bespoke router versus disaster recovery

My DIY router failed twice in one year. I need a disaster recovery plan.

So now Home Assistant requires you to open its web UI via http in order to... change the web UI http settings. What the fuck could go wrong right? This has to be the dumbest change I've ever seen done in a software.

If the default settings don't work for you how are you supposed to do the first configuration of your instance?

Hi, guys, please recommend me a free DNS hosting service that:

* is reliable
* has a free tier
* EU or Europe-based organization, or has nodes on the continent
* good for super-low-traffic, mission-critical websites
* DNSSEC support is obligatory
* is not CloudFlare

Thanks!

Capture d’écran de FreshRSS utilisant un thème sombre inspiré de Cyberpunk 2077. L’interface mêle fond noir, lignes et accents bleu cyan, éléments jaune vif et typographie contrastée. À gauche se trouvent les catégories de flux RSS ; au centre, une liste compacte d’articles avec leur source, leur titre, l’heure et le temps de lecture. La barre supérieure regroupe la recherche et les principales actions.

I think it's getting to the point I should be seriously considering a real, proper, big boy rack. (Writing this up makes me think a Homelab tour video is in order).

Top row - Unifi UCG Fiber Gateway with WAF110 + Anker USB-C power station
Row 2 - PDU
Row 3 - 3x m90q in proxmox cluster with 64gb RAM each (from the before times) plus 3x 1tb nvme ceph cluster each node has a sfp+ NIC, PiKVM with 4 port switcher (love this thing)
Row 4 - Unifi 10 gig agg
Row 5 - Patch
Row 6 - USW 48 Pro Max (screamin' FB marketplace deal, such an awesome switch)
Row 7 - Unifi NVR
Row 8 - Zimaboard (running DNS, my network VIP, a few other core services split in HA with a Pi5 upstairs), Framework desktop as my primary dev workstation all via SSH.

Hmm, my PoE injector started failing after the 4.8 magnitude earthquake here in #Granada. Weird. It showed all the LEDs as status ok, but the PoE switch powered by it kept rebooting all the time after 5 seconds of operation or so. Tested with another PoE switch as well — the same symptoms.

I guess I need to buy a new PoE injector. #SelfHosting

Thanks — that is good news, especially for Loops.

Unless I am missing something, though, Pixelfed's OIDC support is not yet operator-friendly: I could not find a documented, supported .env configuration for issuer URL, client ID, client secret, scopes and redirect URI.

So far I have had to modify configuration inside the container, which makes upgrades and reproducible Docker deployments unnecessarily painful.

A first-class .env interface — ideally documented and usable through Docker Compose secrets — would make Pixelfed's OIDC support actually practical for self-hosted instances. Is that planned as well?

#OpenIDConnect #Pixelfed #SelfHosting

@dansup

Full agree: the Fediverse needs to become easier and more familiar to use.

But that should mean open, self-hostable standards too. I would really like to see #OIDC / #OpenID Connect as a built-in option — like #Mastodon supports, or #PeerTube can gain through plugins — alongside Sign in with Apple, Google, etc.

For Pixelfed, an easy .env-based configuration for a generic OIDC provider would be ideal: issuer URL, client ID, client secret, scopes, redirect URI — done. That would let instance admins use #Keycloak, #Authentik, #Zitadel, their university/work SSO, or any other compatible provider.

Does #Loops have plans for generic OIDC login? And is this planned for #Pixelfed as well?

Making sign-up familiar matters. Making it interoperable and self-hostable matters just as much.

Finally started my homelab... on my MacBook!

It was definitely a new experience for me, and I'm glad I finally found something that can keep me interested in actually using a homelab: running a MediaWiki-based wiki.

I used to be a heavy contributor to a wiki called LibreWiki, so I decided to import some of its pages into my own environment and experiment with its structure, extensions, CSS, and other features.

And no, I'm not planning to open my homelab to the public anytime soon. 😅 This is going to stay a personal project for experimenting, breaking things, fixing them, and learning along the way.

A black Yealink office desk phone sits on a wooden desk beneath an ASUS computer monitor. The phone has its handset docked on the left, a numeric keypad and navigation controls, and a small color display showing the time as 02:42. Cables run behind the phone and monitor, with desk organizers and other computer equipment partially visible around it.

A call detail record statistics page showing an hourly line chart from 2 PM through 1 PM. Nearly all values remain at zero until 1 PM, when Volume rises to 2, Missed to 1, ASR to 0.5, and Minutes and ALOC to roughly 0.3. A table below lists the 1 PM–2 PM period on August 15 with Volume 2, Minutes 0.3, Calls Per Min 0 / 0.02, Missed 1, ASR 50, and ALOC 0.28.

So in my plodding, quixotic attempt to retrofit a trashpicked gaming PC into a second home server¹,² mainly for low-priority #selfhosting duties, I'd to test out a few different distros before installing. For no good reason since I'll probably end up on Debian. I haven't run a recent version of Ubuntu in years, so I flashed 26.04 LTS to USB. It boots, text mode works, I can use a pty shell, but GDM fails to talk to the display, which is hooked up to a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 GPU (this AMD mobo & CPU do not have integrated graphics). Same result with the "safe graphics" boot option.

Modprobe indicates that the kernel has nouveau support loaded. What is the easiest way to unstick this, without committing to an install that I probably don't want (or futzing with it enough that I'd wish I had anyway)?

¹ c.f., e.g.,
https://infosec.exchange/@ozdreaming/117080833363899782

² I'm using "server" verrrry loosely. Our main home mail server doesn't even have kernel graphics modules loaded (many non-essentials excluded from config -- total module footprint is under 1MB). But this box will sit under my desk at home, connected to my monitor, and I want the option to run graphics & games, even if I rarely exercise it. My daily driver is an old S76 Lemur with Intel integrated graphics so I don't even bother using it for anything "fun".

I have made a thing. BoardOil is a kanban style board you can self host.

I've been planning personal projects on it for about 6 months, and we even used it to plan our wedding!

I'd struggled to find a solution I could self host that I liked, so thought I would share in case it appeals to anyone else.

There's a live demo linked on GitHub.

I’m thinking that rsync is not sufficient for important large data backups. Even if I’m rsyncing the data away to the Hetzner Storage Box.
I need something more advanced with deduplication and so on. I tried #borgbackup in the past, and that thing was absolutely not user-friendly. It was rather user-hostile.
Now, #SelfHosted community has #Duplicati and #Duplicacy? Does someone use one? Any recommendations?

#homelab #selfhosting #selfhost #backup #backups #databackup

I really need to migrate my homelab documentation and code snippets from md files in folders to a more structured format.
Trillium looks like a good option.
Thought?
