Pleased to share a playlist of (my own) videos on UNIX shell basics, intended for newcomers taking their very first steps into server self-hosting - or just those curious about it.

Rather than looking at system administration in the shell, the videos cover what my own teaching has found to be the 'minimum viable scaffolding' needed to be comfortable in the UNIX shell when setting out to learn the craft.

My digital independence roadmap for the year ahead:

Phase 1: liberate my music and movie libraries with #Jellyfin (I just installed it YAY)

Phase 2: liberate my audiobook collection with #AudioBookshelf

Phase 3: liberate my photo and video libraries with #Immich / stop paying for iCloud

Phase 4: jailbreak my Kindle and liberate my eBook collection

Looks like I will be busy through the end of 2026 😅​

Once you start #selfhosting, there is no way back 💪​

Get some cheap harddrives on eBay, they said (well I said...). You'll save money I said..

This is just dumb. I bought inexpensive used drives, but then for various reasons I didn't get around to even powering them up until well past the return window on eBay.

So when I finally got them spun up? 12 out of 14 completely useless.

A screenshot from a RAID controller. It shows an inventory of 14 hard disks with all but 2 of them showing a red x and state "failed." Not shown in the picture, my facepalm when I finally concluded the drives were bad...

Thinking about hosting my own mastodon instance for some art projects. And I'm sure you all would appreciate me not spamming my art from this account 😉

Digging into it, I'm confused about #relays. Obviously, I don't want to go for the biggest #relay since it's a self-hosted single user instance.

I probably won't be checking posts from that instance anyway. I only want it to post out to the fediverse and be discoverable.

My first thought was to set up a relay, then set up a cron job to wipe posts every couple of hours. That just seems kind of silly. But, it's hosted on the cloud and I really can't afford to wake up to a massive bill either.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Been meaning to fix my homelab for months but every time I open that cabinet door I just... close it again and pretend everything's fine.

Posting this so maybe public shame will finally motivate me to actually deal with it.

What's the worst thing you see here?

Dell workstation tower sitting on top of white IKEA cabinet. Cabinet door is open revealing messy network rack with tangled white ethernet cables, patch panel, and stacked network equipment with visible status lights. Monitor and small device visible on cabinet top.

Bandita #AutoHospedada, ¿usan algún medio para mantenerse al tanto de las últimas versiones del software que hospedan?

#SelfHosting

Configuring a new #Dell server in the #homelab. Who the fuck makes up settings like this!?
“Select timeout value. (0 defaults to 4 seconds, 15 is no delay, 1-14 is timeout value in seconds)”

0 is 4,
1 is 1,
2 is 2,
4 is 4,
15 is 0

Photo of a screen. It shows a notice saying “Select timeout value. (0 defaults to 4 seconds, 15 is no delay, 1-14 is timeout value in seconds)”

Me: I'm gonna self host a mail service on an old laptop, with my *very* residential and dynamic IP address. What could posibly go wrong?

Spamhaus: *checks ISP and IP range* You are not supposed to do that.

Outlook smtp server: "550 5.7.1 Get lost!"

Gmail: I don't like you. But it's only one mesage, and DMARC is good: You go to spam folder.

spambots: LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS! 👹

Besides some test mesasges, 100% of the traffic is spambots sending invalid commands trying to find a vulnerability, I assume.

In the linux world I feel confident with my monitoring tools, iptables and fail2ban. But in NetBSD everything is new to me. So I have to be extra careful.

Just installed FreshRSS. Decided to check out the db schema, and found that it sets up six tables per user instead of just referencing a users table.

Is there a good reason for this? I’m no DBA, but this doesn’t seem like it’ll scale well.

Do people still use mailing lists?

I've been trying to find an email hoster that does mailing lists, which seems hard to find. Now I'm trying to setup my own mail server with Mailman integration and it's really really painful. Documentation and examples are missing stuff all over the place, shitty web apps, all that. Why? Does just no one use it anymore, so no one really cares? I don't quite get it 🙈

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting: day 300 (new project edition) 💡

a blog post that discusses my next self-hosting project. a hint: it's not fediverse-related but is still very empowering.

Felt the urge to #SelfHost a #Mastodon instance.

Badge and t-shirt acquired. Ready for the 13th All Things Open conference in Raleigh!

If you're attending this amazing event, and you see me walking around, feel free to poke me! I would love to chat.

This is me. Selfie of a man in glasses, holding up a conference badge with my name, in front of a big sign with an astronaut drawing, which reads "Welcome, we're glad you're here!".

I migrated my services from Docker to rootless Podman. The migration was a little bumpy but now it works. Though still struggling to get my stacks to autostart after a server reboot. This was much simpler with the Docker daemon.

Je parle un peu de mon infra auto-hébergée en ce moment et des changements que je fais dessus. Voilà ce que ça donne en photo pour la partie principale.

À ce stade, ça ne devrait plus trop bouger.

Sur cette machine, le routeur opérateur au premier plan et derrière, un switch 8 ports sur lequel repose l'ONT. À droite, 3 machines empilées constituant le cluster Proxmox. Les deux nœuds principaux sont en dessous et celui du dessus permet de gérer le quorum. Un disque dur externe complète le stockage de ce dernier nœud. À l'arrière, le bandeau de prises électriques et l'arrivée fibre opérateur.

More (mis)adventures in #selfhosting...

Decided to be a responsible sysadmin and upgrade my software, including finally moving from postgres 16 to 18

Decided to be an unresponsible sysadmin and tried to do that upgrade late on Friday night without fully reading through the instructions or verifying backups beforehand.

Because what's the worst that could happen, right?

I am happy to announce the v0.4.0 release for slcl!

For those of you know do not know about slcl, think about it as Nextcloud, but without the bloat or JavaScript.

slcl is written in C and requires 400 KiB of RAM (yes, KiB!) to run on a Linux server. Needless to say, it works lighting fast on older hardware, including SBCs.

This new release brings several new features: thumbnails, directory downloads and security fixes.

Linux static binaries available.

A screenshot of the root directory from an account, namely "smolcloud", from a test slcl instance. The picture lists 2 directories and 6 files, 3 of them being car pictures and a picture from Big Buck Bunny's theatrical poster with their thumbnail (a new feature in v0.4.0) on the left side. The following columns are listed for every entry inside the directory: - Thumbnail - Name - Size - Date - Share - Download - Remove Four forms ("Search", "Upload file", "Create directory" and "Remove selected files") are presented to the user in order to interact with the server. At the bottom, a progress bar shows the current user quota: 339.9 MiB used out of 4.0 GiB.

In my eternal quest for an #RSS reader I love, I've stumbled on FeedMe. Next I'm going to mess around with #SelfHosting FreshRSS for no justifiable reason.
