I've been hosting more of my own stuff over time, but keeping up with the maintenance manually has been proving to be too much. I remember 100 years ago as a sysadmin setting up an Ubuntu management server to manage the fleet of Ubuntu servers at work in the style of the Red Hat stuff that did the same. Now I run a variety of instances, and I don't know what kind of orchestration machine I would need to spin up to keep things like OPNsense, remote *nix hosts, etc. up to date. Any recommendations?

Hi, great fedinetwork!

You can never have enough sources on digital independence, self-hosting and data governance! I'm collecting sources for a talk on these topics and I would love some more info!

Do you have some favorite sources, websites, blogs or articles about these (or adjacent) subjects? Please drop them in a reply!

Taking #selfhosting to the next level 😂 Built a small server for locally hosted LLM, to be used as a brain for my #openclaw assistants. It might be not the smartest one amongst OpenAI and Anthropic models, but hey, self-hosting is not about getting the best experience, it's about freedom! So I challenged myself to squeeze as much as possible out of this setup with system prompts and instructions.

@ppxl I have recently jumped into #homelab and #selfhosting . It is a ton of work, especially if you are not versatile with Linux system administration. There is a lot of command line configuration to be done and it is easy to go down rabbit holes that can be very deep. Sure there are tutorials, but the amount of tacitly presumed knowledge is more than I expected.

@wagesj45 @celesteh @Steldamm granted, that's due to #Apple being assholes and basically #MITM'ing all #PushNotifications, not a Problem of #XMPP+#OMEMO.

- Needless to say said Push Notification system on #iOS is an #InfoSec risk as those get stored unenvrypted on device!

#Signal being a #proprietary, #centralozed, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider service that neither has #ReproduceableBuilds nor #SelfHosting basically operates solely on "#TrustMeBro!" Security, and gven they demand a #PhoneNumber, the entire "#Metadate-#FUD" they pull is completely bs.

@Steldamm @celesteh And what makes you believe the #NSA doesn't get all the #data it wants from #Signal users via #Amazon #aws, which it's 100% dependent upon?

- You don't need much #metadata when the provider collects and habds out the #PhoneNumber they demand for signup, and from any Phone Number it's easy to go to the #ICCID of the #SIM and subsequently #IMSI and #IMEI.

https://c.im/@kkarhan/116549708544891634

IOW: If you expect Signal to cover your ass against the #NSA, I'd call you criminally stupid and if your threat model includes state-sponsored attackers like that, #SelfHosting your own #XMPP Server on the #Tor network is gonna be the least of your problems.

Cuz at that point chances are you're sleeping with more than a pistol under your pillow!

I’m seriously considering hosting my own GitHub alternative now. What’s the best option to do so?

Here are my requirements:

• two way syncing to GitHub (I’ve got a couple of repositories that I need to be in there)
• support for Issues, PRs
• actively maintained
• good looking
• whilst I prefer self hosting via docker it’s not a must

Any suggestions?

📦 FediSuite ist umgezogen!

Alle vier Repositories von FediSuite sind ab sofort auf Codeberg zu finden:

👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite
👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite-Docker-Image
👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite-Plugins
👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite-Android-App

Die bisherigen GitHub-Repos werden in naher Zukunft archiviert. Bugreports, Issues, Feature Requests und Pull Requests werden ab sofort ausschließlich über Codeberg angenommen.

👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite-Docker-Image/issues

Warum der Umzug? FediSuite soll bewusst unabhängiger von großen US-Tech-Konzernen werden. GitHub gehört Microsoft und läuft auf US-Infrastruktur – mit Blick auf den US CLOUD Act und digitale Souveränität wirft das berechtigte Fragen auf. Codeberg wird von einem deutschen gemeinnützigen Verein betrieben und passt deutlich besser zu einem Projekt, das auf Self-Hosting, Unabhängigkeit und europäische Infrastruktur setzt.

Bitte aktualisiert eure Bookmarks, Klone und Verweise! 🙏

Hey all / hej allihoppa!

Vi i kamratdataföreningen köpte en 1U server som vi vill använda för att hosta våra tjänster (t.ex. vår mastodon instans social.spejset.org/) för allmän njut. Vi letar efter ett ställe i Stockholm att ställa den. Vi är en ideell förening och letar efter gratis eller billigt. Har ni tips för oss? Kanske har du ett serverrum på jobbet där man kan tänka hosta vårt server? Eller kanske jobbar du för ett hostingföretag som kan tänka hjälpa oss? Hör av dig!

We in the comrade data association Konstellationen bought a 1U server that we want to use to host our services (for example our mastodon instance social.spejset.org/) for the greater good. We're looking for a place in Stockholm to rackmount the thing and connect it to the internet. We're a non-profit and are looking for free or cheap. Do you have tips? Maybe you have a server room at work that you can think offering a unit in, or perhaps you're working at a hosting company that might consider helping us out? Let us know!

How does one audit a home network reasonably? Thinking of setting up some self hosted stuff that may involve internet ingress.
I can DMZ a machine, but it's an i-dont-know-what-i-dont-know situation. Are firewall rules enough? How much should I actually be worrying about someone getting access to my local network segments?

Have any self-hosters set up a local cache/mirror of system packages, python packages, container images, and whatever else you might download?
