Schönen guten Abend zusammen! Wird Zeit für ein kurzes .
Ich habe endgültig genug von Datenkraken, nervigen Abos und der ewigen Cloud-Abhängigkeit. Deshalb verbanne ich Big Tech gerade Stück für Stück aus meinem Alltag. Die ersten Dienste werfe ich lokal über Docker an und ich fuchse mich immer tiefer in Themen wie , und rein.
Suche hier nach Gleichgesinnten, die auch lieber selbst hosten statt mieten.

    Zum Thema : Meine Postfix-Config war wohl etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

    Problem: Mein Server erzeugte Bounces und versuchte externe Zustellung (die zwar geblockt ist), aber die Queue lief voll.

    Ursache:
    `local_recipient_maps = passwd.byname` → System-User wie `mail` wurden als gültige Empfänger akzeptiert.

    Fix:
    `local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/aliases`

    Erkenntnis:
    Bei Postfix + Cyrus keine System-User als Empfänger zulassen.

          New blog post: Speeding Up Forgejo CI with a Custom OCI Image

          My blog's pipeline spent more time installing dependencies than actually building the site. Two commits and one Containerfile later, that step is gone entirely.

          Bonus: Forgejo ships with a built-in OCI container registry, so the whole thing is self-contained on a single instance. No Docker Hub, no external registry.

                            My search has, thus far, been fruitless so I am asking here as a last ditch attempt …

                            I am looking for a self-hostable web based application to be an inventory of the (real, rather than e-) in the house. It should be able to accept a list of as input for importing items and look them up (with covers) to ingest their metadata.

                            It doesn't need style circulation (I don't want to run a library so don't want or equivalent)

                            I've been using which is ok but only understands "things" rather than "books" (I've written a isbn2homebox script to make that easier). I'd like something purpose designed for books though.

                            Does anyone use anything like this? There are plenty of free or subscription things available online, but I want to run this myself.

                              Certbot OVH DNS Challenge in Debian 13 kaputt

                              blog.sengotta.net/certbot-ovh-

                              Erst gestern weise ich jemanden im Fediverse darauf hin das seine TLS Zertifikate abgelaufen sind, schon kommt heute morgen der Boomerang und bei den Diensten die ich auf meinem Intel NUC hier zu Hause laufen habe schlagen die TLS Verbindungen fehl. Joa Karma halt.

                              Ich gehe einfach mal davon aus das es mein Fehler war und ich nach meinem Server Upgrade von Debian 12 auf Debian 13 nicht geprüft habe ob certbot tut was es soll. Die Zertifikate waren noch frisch. Dazu kommt das ich leider kein Monitoring für meine Server Zertifikate habe, das sollte ich vielleicht mal ändern.

                              Was ist also der Fehler gewesen. Naja ich habe nicht mitbekommen das Debian 13 das Paket python3-certbot-dns-ovh nicht mehr bereitstellt. Das lustige ist es ist in bullseye, bookworm, forky und sid vorhanden, nur halt nicht in Trixie. Warum weiss ich nicht, wenn da jemand nähere Infos dürfen Sie gerne geteilt werden. Ich kann mir vorstellen das es daran liegt weil das Paket python3-lexicon auch aus irgendeinem Grund fehlt, welches eine dependancy von python3-certbot-dns-ovh darstellt. Aber gut ohne python3-certbot-dns-ovh funktioniert die DNS Challenge bei OVH halt nicht. Einfach nur ärgerlich.

                              Wenn man in die Github Issues bei Certbot schaut dann gibt es mit dem Modul aber wohl schon länger Probleme vor allem was das aufräumen der acme-challenge txt Einträge angeht und im Zusammenspiel mit Wildcard Zertifikaten.

                              Bei mir kommt leider noch hinzu das mein Webserver zuhause,aus Gründen, nicht via Port 80 erreichbar ist. Die schnelle Umstellung auf die Webroot Methode ist also keine Alternative.

                              Was ich jetzt gemacht habe: ich nutze den Certbot Docker den es auch in Ausprägungen für die verschiedenen DNS Provider gibt. Ich gehe mal davon aus das hier die Dependancys vernünftig gepflegt werden. Eine schöne Anleitung wie man das ganze umsetzen kann habe ich hier gefunden: https://github.com/boujrafh/TLS-certificates-with-Let-s-Encrypt-Certbot-OVH-DNS-Docker-

                              Eine andere Möglichkeit wäre sicher das ganze via pip zu nutzen, eine Anleitung dafür findet man auf der Certbot Homepage.

                              Allgemein muss ich sagen das ich es ziemlich unschön finde das solch eine fundamentale Funktionalität beim Upgrade auf eine neue Stable einfach kaputt geht, aber gut wieder was gelernt.

                                Journey with self hosting for personal blog and fediverse

                                @selfhosted

                                Hello, I followed the "selfhosted" instance on LemmyWorld in order to be able to talk about my experiences having them in order, without confusing criteria into Fediverse. Hoping they can be useful to others.

                                Current setup: Hostinger vps kvm2 plan, Debian12, YunoHost, Hostinger's docker manager installed.

                                Personal background: blind since birth, (I don't see), I'm mostly a computer power-user, worked and studied with ms-dos since 1989 until late 90s. Basic GNU/Linux knowledge in 2002, then interrupted in 2004.

                                I don't care talking about disability when discussing unrelated topics but it's necessary in this case as my needs are quite different from others.

                                So, I've been scared by self-hosting and have had shared hosting web sites until now. Until @_elena started self hosting her digital echosystem from scratch using YunoHost.

                                Due to lack of drivers I stopped with Linux on my private machine, drivers for the Braille display I had, and then the uneffective (at least for my need) screen reader capabilities on Linux's GUI based distros.

                                Finally in January 2026 I jumped in the dark after reading Elena Rossini's blog about YunoHost and having explored their demo pages. At the worst, I'll cancel the contract...

                                In the end I've managed to run WriteFreely, WordPress, CastoPod and GoToSocial, just by YunoHost; but if someone says terminal knowledge is not needed, this is a complete lie.

                                Where a system (such as YunoHost) can do the dirty work configuring postfix and nginx, I'll support it but it has its disadvantages: not every app can be installed through it.

                                For me it's very difficult to create and look after a config file on my own, it's frustrating for a sighted to miss a punctuation sign, an apostrophe, an indent. Let alone for me! A single space skipped, can crash a system.

                                A lie even saying that AI completely helps. It does solve some small, simple, immediate tasks but it has some mistakes as well. The so-called allucinations which create a real mess if you can rely on no personal skill.

                                Such as "sudo yunohost tools cert-install", or similar. AI wrote "cert-install" while the real command is "cert install"! A power user can get rid of it and correct, a beginner with no command-line knowledge, just copies, pastes, and gets scared.

                                My late attempt has been Madblog, a static markdown-based blogging platform with Fediverse activitypub in it, so I learned what Docker is and how it basically works. But I gave up, due to several timeouts and activitypub slow-downs. I think I'm going to use WordPress for blogging then. In case of comments it'll be more intuitive for non-fediverse folks.

                                Hopefully share others' experiences as well!

                                            • Beszel: Monitoring of my servers, simple, shows me exactly the stats that I'm interested in

                                              OpenAI's crawler just found our family server / cloud services and immediately proceeded to crash Nextcloud within minutes. Fucking fantastic.

                                              Is there some nice, up-to-date write-up on the different tools to protect yourself against this?

                                                    И вот с такой шутки поделюсь: стыдно должно быть мне. За то, что мой серверочек mastodon долго (с февраля 2023 года!) хостился на одном SSD диске. И сегодня он переехал на RAID из 2 синих WD на террабайт. Учитывая, что пока занято всего 40ГБ (а откуда больше взяться?), места хватит надолго.

                                                        I stood up a test website and I used bunny net as my CDN. The url was predictable. Test dot domain dot net. Well, somebody found it and just hammered it. 1.3M requests in a week. I probably account for about 200 of those. I figured it out when the VM’s disk ran out of space from logging it all.

                                                                But the mobile view is pretty bad! Had to spend some time adding Custom CSS to make it acceptable to me.
