Today is a GREAT day to begin your #selfhosting journey, if you haven't already!

Tired of paying billionaires to make life on earth worse for everyone, in exchange for a few trinkets and a load of hostility?

You can replace:

- #spotify -> #navidrome
- #youtube -> #peertube
- #netflix etc -> #jellyfin
- #gsuite -> #nextcloud
- #google #bing etc -> #SearxNG
- #whatsapp etc -> #xmpp
- and so much more!

Any steps you take to reduce your interactions with

If you need a simple, locally hosted file sharing platform, #filegator is a fantastic solution.

Supports multiple users, runs in Docker, and works with multiple storage systems via the filesystems PHP library, including (S)FTP, S3, and Azure Blobs.

Does anyone have any suggestions for blogs, podcasts, books, or #YouTube channels on the topics of “homelab” and “self-hosting”?
Thanks in advance for recommendations or boosts!

What is the easiest way for me to self host a cloud drive that my phone and laptop can both connect to? But that is also secure?

I do not work in the tech industry and may lack the skills to do this but I thought I’d ask.

This is your casual reminder to #selfhost At least that what you are comfortable with

#selfhosting is about being independent. About owning your data. About reclaiming the 'net and decentralizing it. It is about taking control. Being able to do things the way you see fit. And it is about breaking free from subscriptions and from big tech which is #enshittifying like there is no tomorrow.

Go #selfhosted the way you see fit. In small steps, one platform at a time - or with a head first dive if you are feeling adventurous. Share your experiences, write a blog about it, create a video or post about it on the Fediverse.

It most definitely is not too late to revolt. To give big tech the middle finger. Firmly stand your ground. Be a rebel.

some of you might already know me, but for those who dont

i'm radhitya (al1r4d in the other place) and interested in #linux, #openbsd, #golang, #c, low-level programming, #esp32, #arduino, and #selfhosting.

i think this should be enough to introduce myself.

Hey #SelfHosted / #SelfHosting folks, does anyone know of a self-hosted pinterest-like system?

I want to create both publicly shareable and private moodboards (basically just groups of content) of anything from images to links to text etc.

I think I've fallen in love with Tailscale. What an amazing tool. The possibilities are endless! I am so excited now to get my little RPi4B up and running. The video tutorials are really clear and well presented.

So I am looking to dump some BigCorp services and move to self-hosting more of my interwebs shit. I am thinking:

- Raspberry Pi 5 8GB + a pair of M2 SSDs
- Ubuntu LTS + ZFS
- Ghost for websites
- PeerTube for video
- Maybe NextCloud [edit: was ownCloud]

Anyone got words for/against? Also, should I use docker?

[I have fibre, static IPv4 addresses and have been self-hosting my email on a Pi 4 with Ubuntu and ZFS for years, so you may assume I am not a total idiot]

#AskFedi #SelfHosting

New experiment in self-hosting seems to be going OK: new Ghost and PeerTube servers running, a handful of websites and random bespoke web services all moved over.

The Pi 5 + dual SSDs seems fast enough and I am generally finding Docker good now that I'm starting to get the hang of spinning up containers.

I am almost ready to switch off my AWS instances and cancel some subscriptions…

#SelfHosting

#AskFedi do you know anyone with a federated Wordpress site who uses it extensively? Not just for publishing straight to the Fediverse, but also in a social way (aka as a fedi profile)?

I've run into a few roadblocks with mine and I could really use some inspiration 😊​

#Wordpress #ActivityPub #selfhosting

Something is very off, and I don't even know where to look. I've built a custom PC as a #homelab server, booted it, and everything worked from the start. This scares me. #SelfHosting #CustomBuild

Gibt es hier jemanden der eine eigene #Funkwhale Instanz betreibt (oder im engen Kreis benutzt) und dort seine eigene Musikbibliothek verwaltet?

Has anyone had problems with running mastodon on FreeBSD in the past, especially with updating it?
Whenever I try to run “RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile” there is a node process at about 400% indefinitely. Does anyone know a solution to that?
To install it I followed @stefano's guide (https://it-notes.dragas.net/2022/11/23/installing-mastodon-on-a-freebsd-jail/)

Ok, rewriting this with the right terms for more context (sorry):
People into #homelab and #selfhosting, do you use any kind of #kvm over IP (things like JetKVM, NanoKVM, PiKVM, …)?

Just a bunch of (ideally) self-contained containers that JustWork™, not needing to think too much about scalability, simple backups by stopping the container, making a copy of its storage, done. Etc. No big Kubernetes overhead, just the basics, thank you very much. It's a bit niche, but I think we Not Yet Greybeards can help others to not fear #SelfHosting. Hm. May become a blogpost later today.

(This is how I run my mailserver, serve static webpages for my 20+ domains plus some more services)

🚨 Mastodon 4.4.0 is out now! 🐘
Lots of new features & fixes - but watch out when updating!

If I worked on a way for people to Self-Host there own instance by resetting it up like I'd self-host at mine but then give them the device so they don't have to pay monthly fees, Do you think people would pay for that?

#Fediverse #FediverseInstance #FediverseHosting #SelfHosting

#SelfHosting for people like me, with solid knowledge of how to run a Linux or BSD system from the command line, that are not immediately hyped by every new trend but want to become more independent of BigTech and are OK with containers. Not sure how to call it. SHNYG (Simple Hosting for Not Yet Greybeards)? :)

Ich habe meine Homelab Geschichte und den aktuellen Hardwarebestand mal in einem Blogpost zusammengefasst.
War ein schön, gedanklich in der Zeit zurück zu reisen und zu rekapitulieren, was in der Vergangenheit schon so ging. Und vor allem, wie lange ich dieses Hobby schon habe. Umso erstaunlicher, dass ich es erst als solches betrachte, seitdem ich beruflich aus der IT ausgestiegen bin 😅

Hello Fedi friends!

I’m currently experimenting with the POSSE method of publishing (“Publish [on your] Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere”) on my federated WordPress site (this one) so that I can more easily organize posts and retrieve them in the future. This is the first of such posts.

I have created a “micro” post category and edited the functions.php file of my WordPress blog to exclude such posts from the main blog.

Here is the code I’m using:

function exclude_category( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( ‘cat’, ‘-2132’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘exclude_category’ );

Where -2132 is the number assigned to the category “micro”.

You can find the category number by hovering over it in the Categories menu.

I also plan to tweak my site’s navigation menu to make “micro” appear under the blog category.

At some point in the future that will replace the “blog”… otherwise it’s too confusing to follow how many blogs I actually have.

I am also debating whether to migrate my GoToSocial account to WordPress using the MOVE function. What’s holding me back for now? I will need to be able to implement Serdy’s blocklists here before I do that. I experienced some terrible trolling and abusive messages when I didn’t have blocklists in place on my GoToSocial account last month, so I learned my lesson.

And I’d like to see how “social” the Friends for WordPress plugin by Alex Kirk is, before I consolidate my two accounts.

Anyway, this is all really exciting, made possible by the magic of #ActivityPub and the ActivityPub for WordPress plugin by @pfefferle. Thank you Matthias!

Onwards and upwards!

Experimenting with the #POSSE method by posting on my federated #Wordpress site first and then syndicating elsewhere.

Not sure if I'm doing things the right way but it feels empowering to have these posts on my site - it will be so much easier to organize them and find them in the future.

@stalwartlabs first of all - I really like Stalwart - it's really well done and I haven't had any problems so far - thanks for that!
I was just wondering, is there a way to greylist mails above a certain spam score instead of all?
#SelfHosting #mailserver #spam #greylisting

Outlook (New) is a total mess. #Microsoft says that IMAP accounts are supported but they never work. It doesn't even try to connect to the server, it just error out with bad credentials. And when it tries to connect it uses some Microsoft server hosted by them. I don't know how many of our clients are having this exact issue.

#email #selfhosting

Starting to archive pages and documents during my regular web searches. What are folks using for local document search that isn't an LLM? #selfhosting

Addendum: This is why I think #SelfHosting is more about #DigitalIndependence than #DigitalSovereignty, for example.

And yes, services that implement #DigitalSovereignty can still violate my #DigitalIndependence when they use my data our data about me.

The digital life is complex, not binary ...

Oh boy now I'm looking at committing the cardinal #selfhosting sin of attempting to run my own mail server.

This might be a terrible mistake.

@drahardja
Leaving #spotify? Have an old computer laying around? Why not use this opportunity to start #selfhosting your own media library?

With free and #opensource software like #navidrome or #jellyfin, you can have your own private (or semi-private) streaming service, and listen on any device!

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 198 (summer project edition) 🏖️​

Hello Fedi friends,

I hope you've been having a nice week so far.

I've been in childcare mode, thus the silence. I've been thinking about something and I would love to get your advice.

#AskFedi: is there a way to export one's #GoToSocial archive of posts (but not replies to other users)? Like something with command lines that doesn't require tedious copy and paste operations?

I wanted to gather up all the posts about the first 6 months of my self-hosting journey, to neatly organize them on my website (either in multiple blog posts or pages) so that they could be more easily searchable. It's not really ideal to go on an infinite scroll quest in reverse chronological order to see the evolution of my self-hosting journey.

Like, I'm curious to see what I was up to in January but going back in time loading old posts takes forever. And I cannot really search for keywords.

I'd like to keep things organized and easily searchable. And implement a POSSE system going forward... publishing on my site first and then syndicating elsewhere.

It's my summer of POSSE inspired by @molly0xfff 🤗
https://www.citationneeded.news/posse/

If you have any ideas about how I can easily export all my #GtS posts, I'm all ears.

If not, I suppose I will start copying and pasting everything and do monthly installments of my self-hosting journey (aka "month 1" etc.). After all I have 1125 posts (sigh).

Anyways, I hope this finds you well and that you're keeping cool in this scorching heat (especially fellow Europeans).

have a lovely morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are ❤️​

"All Flash" is my new homelab storage (6x 4T) & I'm not sure if it'll still be #FreeBSD.

The goal? Providing storage for clients at home (NFS/CIFS) but also to servers like Proxmox by NVMeoF (TCP).

It's not a ready-to-use NAS and more a MiniPC with 6x NVMe slots and 2x 2.5Gbit and 1x 10Gbit network. So, I'm happy to make the best out of it. Unfortunately, the performance with SPDK is really worse and I'm not yet quite sure why.

What kind of issues or concerns might I have if I shut down one kind of AP server software and then set up a different AP server on the domain previously occupied by the now decommissioned first AP server?

(I don’t think the soon-to-be-shutdown server has a self-destruct.)

#MastoAdmin #Fediverse #Admin #SelfHosting

I’ve once again started the process of installing and setting up Nextcloud on one of my servers. It occurs to me that my Nextcloud instances always die a slow death. Something about that piece of software, I think, sort of just falls apart over time. This time I’m attempting to future proof it a little bit more than the previous times, but honestly I fully expect it to go about the same as usual. Then again, historically I have installed all kinds of plugins (or apps) and was running it on fairly low powered hardware. Setting it up on some decently powerful hardware on this go around though. I’ll also try to be more conservative with the app installs as well.

I might actually set up two separate instances and federate them together. Perhaps if I maintain multiple servers they’ll survive a bit longer? Or I’ll just be creating twice the amount of tinkering and maintenance for myself.
