Wow i have just seen that my single user gotosocial instance needs 173GB of storage. 25GB is the SQLite. Really i could swear that ist was aroudn 40GB in total before the last update. No wonder my Hetzner Storage box is completely over the limit.
#gotosocial #selfhosting

Hello fellow #gotosocial users - how is your instance doing and how much GBs of storage does it use at the moment? I'm at 2.2GB at the moment 🤔

New by me: I Built RipFoundry for Linux to Get DVDs Into Jellyfin

#RipFoundry #Jellyfin #SelfHosting #OpenSource #Linux

Hello self-hoster friends, I have a question that seems to be a little divisive.
I am building a new Proxmox server on an old computer and I was wondering if I should install the Proxmox OS on an HDD or an SSD.

Another similar question is, should I put the VMs on an HDD or an SSD? I guess it depends on the type of services and access speed to storage they require, but still, what are your opinions?

Stepping Up to Self-Hosting

I got into Android at the beginning, with a pre-order of the T-Mobile G1, because I never liked the proprietary-everything ecosystem Apple built with the iPhone. I was geniunely excited about the potential of an open-source mobile OS, even if it was coming from a billionaire-owned tech giant. I rooted my Android phones and flashed custom ROMs to them for years. It was a blast. Then Google and Samsung started closing out that scene, and I lost the excitement that had drawn me in at the beginning. That sense of potential evaporated.

Years later, I found myself drawn back to open-source stuffs when I stumbled into the Fediverse. I love the sense of possiblity that pervades the Fediverse and FOSS projects in general. I've been hopping around for a few years now, trying different instaces running different software, and it's this Fedi project—littleFedi—that made me feel like now is the time for me to try my hand at hosting my own stuff. I know the code isn't ready for me yet, but that's okay because I need time to research self-hosting options. I'm hoping the Fedi can help with some of that.

I'm not a programmer or a techie—perhaps call me an advanced user. From my reading, I feel confident that I could manage a self-hosting from a VPS. Honestly, though, I'd prefer my own hardware at home. The problem is that there are a lot of options, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I thought I'd share what I want from my hardware, at minimum, and see if some helpful Fedizens have suggestions. So here's what I want:

• A Nextcloud instance for file storage. I have hundreds of gigabytes of music, videos, and photos, and I want a place to store all of that in the cloud.
• A chat client. Maybe Nextcloud Talk, but I'm also thinking about a Matrix server. Just haven't read much about self-hosting Matrix yet.
• A Fediverse client. I had been thinking of WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin because I like having the option to write long blog posts as well as short status posts; however, I'm now thinking that I'll run a littleFedi instance once the code is published.
• Email. Because if I'm going to be hosting my own cloud storage, chat, and social media, I might as well take care of my own email as well.

I have limited physical space in my cabin out here in Bumblefuck, so I've been looking at mini PCs. I see that Nextcloud even sells some with Nextcloud preconfigured, but I'm not sure any of those are for me. I prefer Linux, but I'm comfortable with installing Linux on a machine that ships with Windows. (Done that with several of my old laptops.) I'll consider a Mac mini if y'all recommend one, but it's been a decade-plus since I've messed around with macOS.

I won't be making a quick decision here, so as long as this blog is still published without an update, I'm still looking for options and I would still appreciate tips, suggestions, and stories about your own self-hosting adventures.

Be good to yourself, and be good to others 🫶

Question for anyone with any kind of experience with this stuff…

I keep looking at older, refurbished servers; mostly on eBay at the moment, although if there's someplace else I should be looking, then I guess I'm asking that as well.

So:
What are some specific brands/models/whatever you would recommend and/or which would you recommend against, and why?

Thanks.

Update on the #GoToSocial project: it definitely seems to stall out when the disk I/O ramps up on the NAS due to a scheduled backup task. I tried relocating the GTS instance to container on a different machine, and then to a VM on a different machine but both attempts failed; something to to with LetsEncrypt. I suspect maybe I got rate-limited?

Anyway, it’s back under the NAS for now. I did some tweaking of the  timing of the backup jobs so we’ll see what happens tomorrow morning. 🤷‍♂️

I'm considering self-hosting Pocket ID to use as an OIDC identity provider for various other self-hosted services. It's small and simple and easy to understand, but there's a big gap: high availability. If I set up an instance on a machine somewhere, and that machine dies, every service using it as an IdP is temporarily inaccessible until the situation is cured.

How do other self-hosters address this situation? I understand at some point there are single points of failure, but I'd like to avoid this being one.

Example. I use tailscale for my #selfhosting. My church also uses tailscale for their VPN needs. With both of us being on tailscale, I just add an ACL to allow in my personal tailscale account to access my church and I can access either organizations machines at the same time.

☀️ Hitze, 🛋️ Wochenende, 🥱 Langeweile – was macht man da?

Genau: Sinnfreie Statusseiten mit eigenem Design bauen. 😄

Da sich unser tolles Werkzeug #UptimeKuma ja so *hervorragend* designen lässt (Ja! Das war dezente Kritik. Dennoch: Danke für dieses tolle Stück Software! ;) - musste ich für die Optik mit der API ran.

Für zwei von drei Welten gibt es nun kleine eigene Statusseiten die zwar schon bestanden und auch weiterhin bleiben, aber eben im eigenem Kuma-Design.
Beide greifen auf die API ihres jeweiligen Origins zu:

🌐 #AWsite – mit eigener Subdomain:
https://status.weindl.biz

🌐 #FEROX – bekommt einen Pfad:
https://ferox.cc/status

Einzig #AWiT bleibt vorerst beim Kuma-Standarddesign. AWiT bekommt aber in absehbarer Zeit ein komplettes Redesign, sobald die Vereinsgründung abgeschlossen ist.

Nun aber: Weil ich heute durch einen anderen Post auf den Geschmack gekommen bin, heißt es jetzt #Couchen und #DemolitionMan in OV schauen. 📺

Sanfte Grüße 🌙 und wer Probleme mit seinem Bidet hat -> die 3 Muscheln benutzen!

I've been heavily poking at littleFedi by @stefano and quite excited about it.

I wrote about it in another Blaugust attempt: Big hopes for littleFedi. Also available on my test account ​@shom@littleone.littlefedi.social's post/blog.

#littleFedi #Blaugust #Fediverse #Selfhosting

Big hopes for littleFedi

The Fediverse is exciting, I've formed genuine connections with interesting people. GoToSocial got me hosting my own presence. And I hope littleFedi is what gets to hosting a community.

Thoughts/context on Fediverse {#thoughts-context-on-fediverse}

The federated universe (Fediverse) is awesome: different applications, networks, sub-cultures all able to interact with each other via a rather lightweight protocol, ActivityPub. It's this very lightweightness is interesting because not all the servers are architected to be lightweight because they are architected to scale. There's a lot of debate about the role of centralization, discoverability, "flagship" instances this post isn't that. BUT, decentralization is a big selling point of ActivityPub and being able to run many small instances on low power hardware democratizes participation. I'm all about that, GoToSocial fits the bill perfectly and I have been very happy hosting it and the team is doing great and thoughtful work.

Why am I excited about littleFedi!? {#why-am-i-excited-about-littlefedi}

Well maybe it's a better idea to talk about what is littleFedi is?! I'll let Stefano talk about that: littleFedi: a Fediverse Server That Doesn't Need a Data Centre. That blog is actually served directly by littlFedi and the post was created as any other regular post AND the blog is statically served AND a regular post can be retroactively turned into a blog post AND it supported threaded comments (since it also remains a regular ActivityPub post). littleFedi has a load of other great features as well and I don't want to take away from that but this is definitely what sets it apart from GoToSocial.

Blogging vs Microblogging {#blogging-vs-microblogging}

Blogging and maintaining a separate social feed is difficult. The ability to do it all in one platform and also convert existing posts into blog posts if they need to be persisted as a "body of work" is great for folks who don't want to mess around with tech and just want to share with their community. Also it's cognitively easier to write a series of posts instead of sitting down to write a blog post and being able to convert it later is great.

What's next? {#what-s-next}

I'm on the test instance and have been doing some testing and providing feedback. Stefano is both very prompt and gracious in receiving feedback and fixing issues. The project will be released as a MIT licensed self-hostable application and I plan on trialing a niche community hub (more on that later) using littleFedi. I wish the project well and will be following it closely and eagerly.

Hej wszystkim! Chyba czas na małe #introduction.

Co prawda jestem już z Wami od jakiegoś czasu, jednak po drodze zaliczyłem kilka przeprowadzek - dokładnie trzy, z czego wszystkie pomiędzy własnymi instancjami 🙃 (obecnie Akkoma). Przez ten czas trochę się zmieniło, dlatego pomyślałem, że warto odświeżyć swój wizerunek i przedstawić się ponownie.

Nie będzie chyba zaskoczeniem jeśli napiszę, że lwia część mojej aktywności na fedi ma związek z tematami prywatności i bezpieczeństwa w cyfrowym świecie.

Hobbystycznie bawię się w #selfhosting, czyli staram się hostować samodzielnie co tylko mogę i na ile mi wystarcza na to czasu.

Jestem “adwokatem” #opensource, używam otwartych rozwiązań gdzie tylko mogę. Właściwie to na każdym urządzeniu, które posiadam w domu (szczegóły w profilu). Lubię eksperymentować ze wszystkim, pod co mogę się podpiąć i znam znaczenie słowa backup 😉

Od niedawna prowadzę swojego bloga w tematyce selfhostingu i nie tylko: brtk.eu

Poza tym od nieco dłuższego czasu prowadzę także innego bloga poświęconego ogólnie tematyce wolności i prywatności w sieci: wolnoscwkieszeni.pl

Moim największym wrogiem jest czas, a raczej jego deficyt, ale w miarę możliwości wracam zarówno na fedi jak i na swoje blogi.

W wolnych chwilach jak już uda mi się odkleić od ekranu, wciąga mnie dobra lektura. Poza tym lubię sporty zarówno zimowe jak i letnie, czyli góry i jeziora o każdej porze roku, odpowiednio z buta lub na desce, wpław lub na łyżwach.

Mówiłem już, że moim wrogiem jest czas?

Ive been running multiple VPS'es running multiple Claude sessions.

Ive explained my current workflow a while back but #Mastodon search sucks. I cant even find my own posts I did a couple months ago.

Anyway, my CLAUDE.md has directives to;

a) I have a folder called DOCs any time I have a problem/challenge that is resolved (I call them thesis) #Claude writes DATE_Thesis.md

b) I also have ai_index.md which starts with a prompt to regenedate the ai_index. The index has a filename and a brief summary of existing thesis.

The purpose of both of these files is for the model to come up to speed on the project very quickly, without grepping shit all the time.

c) I also have file called NEW where all the ideas / bugfixes I dont have time to fix go. So in promt I just say NEW: Fix global hunger and it gets added.

But specifically, the idea I have, clanky though it is, is to use one of my #Wireguard tunnels as a master /DOC repository and all the instances running Claude can write to the library of Alexandria.

I used to do the copy/pasta thing but it drove me up the wall. Though I still do it for x-server sessions. But it irks me and I may need to fix it soon.

Mein Sohn hat auf seinem Handy immer mehr wichtige Bilder... Google Fotos speicher Läuft über...

Zeit für #immich Hab bereits seit Monaten bei mir alles umgestellt... Nun Multi User Platform 😁

Früher: Googlen wie das geht - über web Interface Durchquälerei - Frust vorprogrammiert

Heute: eine Nachricht an mein #hermes KI Agent - der macht alles über immich API - Sendet mir ne txt mit allen nötigen Infos - Sohn richtet es ein - 5 Minuten läuft sein Backup

Und ich "weiß" wie das umgesetzt ist:

Technische Umsetzung der Trennung:

Immich isoliert jeden Benutzer sowohl in der Datenbank als auch im Dateisystem komplett:

- Dateisystem: Jeder User bekommt ein eigenes Verzeichnis nach seiner UUID. Jakobs Daten liegen unter `/mnt/immich-data/upload/upload/a5a86a77-.../`, deine unter `/mnt/immich-data/upload/upload/6f5b4988-.../`. Das gilt für alle drei Storage-Typen: Original-Uploads, Thumbnails und encoded Videos. Keine Überschneidung möglich.

- Datenbank: Jeder Asset-Eintrag hat einen `ownerId` Foreign Key auf den User. Immich filtert bei jeder Abfrage nach dem eingeloggten User — Jakob sieht nur seine eigenen Fotos, du nur deine.

- Backup: Das Borg-Backup sichert `/mnt/immich-data` komplett, also beide User-Bereiche.

Aktuelle Verteilung:
- Lars: 33.364 Assets, ~254 GB
- Jakob: 8 Assets, ~1,7 GB
- Disk: 332 GB von 697 GB belegt (48%)

Alles sauber getrennt. Jakob hat seinen eigenen Bereich, kann deine Fotos nicht sehen und umgekehrt. Falls du später teilen wollt, kann Immich das über **Shared Albums** — aber das müsstet ihr aktiv anlegen.

@nfilipes @8none1 really thanks for the interesting episode, but i would like to share my thought about the Kodi / Jellyfin topic. You are right Kodi is a configuration nightmare but comparing it to Jellyfin isnt the correct approach.
While Kodi is a very customizable local Mediaplayer you are comparing it to Jellyfin which is a complete client server infrastructure.
Someone who already has problems with Kodi's overwhelming settings will not manage to setup a Jellyfin server either.
And another thing about Jellyfin: althought it is a great project we should not forget that they build up onto min. 5 years Emby development before they forked from that (which then went closed source). For quite some time there was no real evolution in terms of the server and the clients also tend to be quite bad. Thats the reason i stick with Emby till the day.

next in my digital self reliance journey. Notes. I was using google keep, and i'd like to switch to something I own.

Tried nextcloud notes, gets about 90% there. The web UI is fine, but the mobile experience isnt great.

Blinko showed promise, ran it for a few weeks and found it to be a little finnicky, and no mobile app. I was using it via a web app on my phone and it turned out to be a bit flaky.

So now I'm trying Notesnook. Which shows a lot of promise so far.

Anyone out there have suggestions of other apps i should look at?
