Il web che amo.
Quello dei piccoli blog indipendenti, magari ospitati su qualche VPS dove si offrono anche servizi open source e privacy oriented, istanze del #fediverso, e tanto altro.

Si può parlare di #indieweb?
In ogni caso, impegniamoci per alimentare un WWW più sano.

Dear #selfhosting #developer please don't make use an sh script to install your software. Just use a docker compose and an .env file.
Thank you very much for your hard work, I appreciate it.

Ever messed up an update? We got you covered! Simply restore your Snapshot!

You can now also manage (create, delete, restore) a snapshot of your Box! If you ever messed up your application, OS update or anything else - simply go back to your last snapshot and try again! This way, you can test and learn #BSD even better and easier!

Paperless-NGX has become the true successor to #DEVONthink 3 for me, which now focuses on AI and changed its payment model. The automatic document classification is impressively accurate. Container hosting makes self-hosting straightforward. If you want modern, intelligent document management that works cross-platform with full control, Paperless-NGX is an excellent choice. Great mobile apps available too. The only downside: no way to financially support this brilliant software. #selfhosting

The image shows a computer screen with a web application called Paperless-ngx open in a browser. ​On the left side there is a vertical navigation bar with items such as Home, Documents, Correspondents, Tags, Document Types, Storage Paths and other administrative options. The center of the screen shows the details of a document, including fields like Title, Archive Serial Number, Issue Date, Correspondent, Document Type, Storage Path and Tags. On the right side of the screen there is a preview of a two-page IKEA invoice in German, with the IKEA logo at the top, seller and buyer information, delivery address and a table listing items, prices and tax details.

So I bought a full-sized rack for the garage. Might be a bit too big to call it a #homelab any more 😜

It came with 2 PDUs that take 3-phase, 60A, 250V AC. I, um, won’t be plugging those into the house. My servers run on 240V, 2-phase. This plug is just a monster. My hand in the photo for scale.

I’m tickled that it says “Sun” on the side. I got my start in #sysadmin work on Sun IPCs and Sparc 4s back in the day.

Photo of the PDU mounted in the rack. It has 6 banks of 6 plugs each.

Photo of the side of the rack with the “Sun Oracle” logo on it. I like the Sun icon with the 4 S’s

The IEC309 power plug. My hand for scale. Just the wire itself is huge.

No regrets. Next step, huge battery. #selfhosting #selfhosted #homelab #homeassistant #solar

A graph shows energy produced, consumed and sold in 2025. Most of the energy comes from solar, and half of it is sold directly. The grid provides two-thirds of the home energy, but the overwhelming majority goes to power the server rack.

top notch engineering over here. all my servers can get taken down by one needy cat 🤦

Hew fellow selfhosters. Is there any problem if i would use crowdsec and ufw-blocklist together on my Debian Trixie Webserver?
Does anyone of you use that combination?

#crowdsec #ufw #selfhosting @homelab @homelab_de

I set up a #Telegram bridge for my #Matrix #Synapse server. Again.

It is much more stable than I remember. Also, I found out you should restart #Synapse along with the bridge to make things work continuously. Restarting only the bridge breaks a connection from Synapse to the bridge’s app service, and restoring it takes a lot of time somehow.

Any #selfhosting solution alternative to Plex? I would like to create something like this but I don't really like to use something like Plex that, to my understanding, is depending on an external service.

I think I am figuring out the hard way that you *can* configure an alternate email provider for the transactional emails (confirm subscribe / unsubscribe) but mailgun is still required for bulk email to send out your actual newsletters.

1) Am I right?
2) Is there a way to prevent Mailgun from inserting tracking code? So annoying!

NextCloud on Hetzner is the OneDrive upgrade I didn’t know I wanted

For years, I relied on Microsoft’s OneDrive — not for the Office 365 suite, but for its 1TB of cloud storage. It served me well for offsite backups and seamless syncing between my computers and phone. I even used the Personal Vault feature, though more out of curiosity than necessity. Later, I joined a friend’s family plan, making it even more cost-effective.

#digitalsovereignty #hetzner #nextcloud #onedrive #selfhosting #storagebox #unplugtrump

Hey #devops, #selfhosting, #linux and #systemd people!

I have Ubuntu 24.04.3 with encrypted root and two encrypted partitions mounted at /srv/disk[0|1]

All 3 are remotely unlocked at boot using same key with keyscript=decrypt_keyctl. Unlock is handled via dropbear by semiautomatic tool with access to shared secret storage, where host specific encryption keys are stored.

I want to get two things at the same time:

1) if any encrypted partition is missing, host must boot regardless of that and preferably with as little timeout as possible

2) if encrypted device failed to mount due 1) or due failed unlock, mount point must be masked, to avoid any containers that might have mounts there to access them. Sadly` chattr -I` doesn't help here, because mount point is still readable by root. Yeah, root, I know but rootless docker doesn't play well with swarm and k8s is too expensive to run on my scale.

Basically, I need a degraded host that can accept *some* of scheduled workload

What’s the right approach here?

So far I tried removing fstab entry for `/srv/disk[0|1] `and adding explicit mount units

```toml
[Unit]
Description="/srv/${disk_name} filesystem"
Requires=systemd-cryptsetup@${disk_name}\x2ddata\x2dcrypt.service
After=systemd-cryptsetup@${disk_name}\x2ddata\x2dcrypt.service
ConditionPathExists=/dev/mapper/${disk_name}-data-crypt

[Mount]
What=/dev/mapper/${disk_name}-data-crypt
Where=/srv/${disk_name}
Type=ext4
Options=defaults,errors=remount-ro

[Install]
WantedBy=local-fs.target
```

and extra `mask-srv@.service`

```toml
[Unit]
Description=mask /srv/%i if /dev/mapper/%i-data-crypt is missing
DefaultDependencies=no
After=cryptsetup.target systemd-cryptsetup@%i\x2ddata\x2dcrypt.service target srv-%i.mount
Before=local-fs
ConditionPathExists=!/dev/mapper/%i-data-crypt
Conflicts=srv-%i.mount

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mount -t tmpfs -o ro,mode=000,nr_inodes=1,size=4k tmpfs /srv/%i

[Install]
WantedBy=local-fs.target

```

But I it seems to have race condition between srv-disk0.mount and I can't figure out right set of dependencies between units here

I just tried to upgrade the OS on my RPi to Trixie. Now it doesn't boot anymore.

This is the second time this happens after an upgrade. Lots of hassle for a tiny Nextcloud server that I essentially use to keep my MP3 collection synchronized between two computers.

I took it offline. Now I am considering getting a NUC-type device and running Nextcloud, E-Mail and maybe my own Mastodon instance on that.

Thoughts? Experiences? Is that even technically feasible?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@itsfoss/115627387091285317

I started #selfhosting a couple of years ago and it's right up there with adopting #Linux as one of the best things I've done in recent years to wrestle some control of my own data back. I'm excited that it's becoming more widespread!

That said, I'm self-hosting on Synology and I'd really like to move to something less closed at some point. I'm just not confident enough in my skills yet to make the switch now.

Self-hosting is rising because Linux users refuse to wait for permission.

I host my own Phanpy but there's a feature in dev (automatically populate alt-text if it's embedded in images, yessss!!!) I really want. So, I finally setup a build container for @phanpy and a small script to extract out the static folder so I can continue serving it out via Caddy. I wrote a quick post about it, I'm sure there are better and more idiomatic ways of doing this, so advice is welcome.

I haven't figured out how to automate my #NextcloudAIO backups. Last night, I figured I'd start one when I went to bed. Let it run overnight. But the admin console wouldn't load. Left it for this morning. I tried rebuilding the container. Now my system is technically running, and my files are still there, but it's saying it has no internet connection and a bunch of other errors. I'm rebooting the VM to see if that helps. Yay for #selfhosting

starting to see why relying on external services to keep your website up fucking sucks

one little screw up from something like AWS or Cloudflare and bam, site's down and you can't even do jack shit about it

My ideal #HomeLab for now is a #colocation. I started to think about the real possibility of it recently.

I have options in the city I’m currently living in. It appeared costly compared to my dedicated #Hetzner server first, but then I calculated the price of upgrading the storage. Then I added an electricity price of hosting the part of #HomeLab at home, and now I kinda like the idea more and more. I need to see used rack-mountable #server prices now.

@chewie Took a look at Matrix + Element today — and wow, it seems like a really solid replacement for my old TS3 server, which I’ve grown pretty tired of using. Modern features, self-hosted, open — I like it! 🚀

I guess it's not fully compatible. But I would like to know what others did with it.
