Last few days, I've been setting up my Google Drive and Photos replacement on a VPS server with some help from a friend.

Penny said last night I was talking in my sleep, stuff like "formatting the hard drive" and other stuff. Almost like I was telling someone stuff I was doing in ssh. #Selfhosting #nerdBowl 🤓

Nice. A few seconds after renewing my #LetsEncrypt certificate for my 43 domains and subdomains, each of them got hammered with about 35 requests at the same time, from some silly tool called leakix[.]net that looks for stuff like ".env" or ".git", without rate limiting. My little VPS was not amused (load avg. peaked at 24) , and I now have a new rule that drops packets from any IP that comes close to my httpd with an user agent that contains "leakix". Good riddance. #selfhosting

Good morning Fedi friends!

Monday morning ritual: doing maintenance on my #YunoHost systems (I have two separate installations).

I prefer to do things directly in terminal now... and I forgot how to run updates in tmux, so what to do? Oh I can simply refer to MY OWN blog post about this, LOL:

https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-with-yunohost-part-5-upgrades-maintenance/

Yes, I published a #selfhosting guide for newbies... but also as a reminder to myself 😅​

Wishing you all a great day / week. I'll be in Amsterdam later this week for #PubConf2026 - looking forward to it!

My mastodon instance had a short downtime earlier. This was caused by a power cut.

Which in turn was caused by me stupidly cutting a power cable with my hedge trimmer (thus triggering the main fuse to trip). Oops 😬

The dangers of #selfhosting when one is a bit clumsy I suppose 😁

#homelab maintenance complete. I finally configured unattended-upgrades on the Ubuntu servers - I'd put that off far too long.

#technitium cluster also upgraded to 15.2.

Other small items was changing repo locality to GB and setting the correct timezone.

New post: Two Sites, One Cluster.

Two cheap Hetzner boxes, one in Nuremberg and one in Helsinki, fused into a single Proxmox VE cluster over vSwitch VLANs. VXLAN overlay for the guests, an external QDevice so two nodes can still hold quorum, BGP-driven OPNsense failover, and async ZFS replication.

The corosync link sits at 25ms RTT, five times what Proxmox wants. It works anyway, and the post is honest about exactly why, and when it wouldn't.

My RaspberryPi 4 is already running too many services and sometimes Pi-hole is becoming unresponsive which is very annoying...

Today I got myself a Lenovo Tiny from eBay. For some strange reason I had to resist the urge to order 3 of them, print a rack and build a cluster...

Then I have installed Debian, installed and configured some basic packages and I have setup up the borgmatic. While doing this I realized I definitely need to spend more time with Ansible...

The first service I have migrated was Prometheus, the CPU load on the Pi already got a bit less. But not that much, the next service to migrate will be InflxuDB which is eating a lot CPU and IO, but that's something I'll do tomorrow.

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve just switched from #selfhosting #email
to @fastmail and it has been an absolute pleasure. I’ve used @fastmail in the past and it’s refreshing to see a company do one thing and do it well.

A friend asked me about costs etc. in running my own Mastodon (glitch-soc) instance.

My reply might be useful more broadly:

Costs: I run mine on an Intel NUC, for which I paid about ~£200. But I ran for years on a Raspberry Pi, which was fine until my account got a bit big. It consumes some electricity, and I already have an Internet connection with IPv6 and a spare IPv4. So, incrementally, beyond the cost of the hardware, very little.

Time to set up: it took me about 30 minutes *but* I am already familiar with hardening a Linux server, and I build the basic infrastructure automatically. Honestly, this is the bit that would concern me the most, for someone planning on putting a box on the Internet. But it could also be a fun learning exercise.

Time to maintain: a few minutes a month. Upgrades are easy enough. Backups are automatic (because I have automated them).

Now that they've discontinued NUCs, what shall I do?

Microsoft hat mit Azure Linux 4.0 seine eigene Linux-Distribution veröffentlicht. „Microsoft loves Linux", schon klar.

Ich habe genauer hingeschaut und einen längeren Text dazu geschrieben — über Steve Ballmers „Krebsgeschwür"-Rhetorik, über die Jahre, in denen Microsoft an praktisch jedem Android-Telefon mitverdiente, über Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, und über die Frage, was „Souveränität" eigentlich noch bedeutet, wenn das eigene Linux in einer fremden Cloud kuratiert wird.

Kleine Offenlegung vorweg: Ich habe von 2005 bis 2011 selbst für Microsoft gearbeitet. Das hier ist also keine Abrechnung von außen, eher ein Learning von jemandem, der die Maschine von innen kannte.

Der Text nimmt die wohlwollende Lesart durchaus ernst, seht selbst, er endet trotzdem unbequem:
„Linux in der fremden Cloud, kuratiert von fremder Hand, aktualisiert aus fremder Registry … das ist keine Souveränität. Das ist ein Mietverhältnis."

The only thing my #homelab lacks is a shared storage for #Proxmox cluster guest disks, and I still haven't figured out a simple solution for that. Maybe there are none.

#Ceph is complex and sounds like an overhead.

I have secured my home access a bit more.

I now run a Wireguard VPN-server inside an Incus container.

The container has two interfaces.
One on my LAN and one only shared with the host via Incus.

The host runs a ssh-server that only binds to the interface shared with the container.

So the only access to my ssh-server is through the VPN.

The VPN is configured with a PSK to be more resistant against post quantum encryption.

My ssh-server only accepts key-authentication and post quantum KEX.

You panicked about your token bill. You grabbed Ollama. Now you're creating operational debt that's going to cost more than the tokens you saved.

Three real failure cases. One honest framework. Why rushing to self-hosted without discipline creates worse problems.

Hey #selfhosting people. Do you self host Yunohost from within your home network? How do you deal with it or some of its Apps wanting to send / receive email?

For example ghost wants people to sign up via email, and then wants to send outbound email to them. That's not gonna happen from within my home network as both ISP blocks outbound email as well as my IP block being on a spamhaus blocklist. So what?

Sam guide też działa na serwerach za 1$ - spokojnie 256MB ramu wystarczyło.

Chciałem polecić też popularny polski serwis do mini VMek, ale ma w regulaminie ma dokładnie napisane, że zabrania używania sieci P2P i specyficznie wystawiania serwisów w Tor, tak więc polecam Privex.
