I've now got a self-hosted Mastodon! 🎉 It seems it might take a little while to properly federate with other instances... currently I cannot see *anything* except posts from profiles I follow.

#selfhosting

@bog but your #selfhosting appeared in my feed since I follow it. So I guess something works on your end 😃

New blog post: I added Fediverse-based comments to my Pelican blog.

No Disqus, no database, just the Mastodon API and a bit of JavaScript.

Replies to this post will show up as comments on the article.

Inspired by the blog of @jwildeboer - I ported it to Pelican's Jinja2 templates.

#SelfHosting

@yehor Now that is thinking about your "customers" ;)!

Nice one!

Just ordered #unifi 5G Max outdoor edge backup device as my failover solution for my primary #fiber uplink.

#selfhosting has become too important to neglect and minimizing downtime is important.

Finally! Someone from France, using the OVH SAS, tried to break into the my Asterisk box 22 times before fail2ban issued a ban. I feel noticed

How are you managing your business/company without Big Tech? I would love to hear specifically selfhosted tools.

I have been managing my one person firm with Nextcloud, Trillium Notes and Forgejo. But now I am getting an employee and need to have files/information shared with other person. I have used Cryptpad for managing tasks and files previously, but loved to hear other options.

I’m really getting to reflect on the paradoxical nature of #homelabbing, #selfhosting, and #technology in general as I work to build a full-spectrum #cybersecurity stack from basically the ground up. The paradox being that if I could afford to, I would absolutely pay somebody or somebodies to host this crap for me and just use it as a service, but by so doing rob myself of the experience gained by building it myself; however, in struggling to build it for myself, I spend less time learning how to use the tools properly because it’s damned near impossible to get them all working together without some sort of sacrificial ritual.

To clarify, I’m not above #ritual #sacrifice, but none of the witches in the local coven will teach me the right one. Turns out broomstick jokes fly about as well as actual broomsticks. Ha! #rimshot

The more I see what is happening to the world, the more I want to build out my own network through #selfhosting. Host my own websites, my own tools, and open them up to a small subset of friends that I know and trust.

Catch me in the next few years running my own protocol through #Meshtastic nodes ✌️

De voorbije weken ben ik als afleiding aan het experimenteren geweest met de NAS.

Als resultaat gebruiken we die nu ook als server met:
- Paperless-ngx
- Home assistant (slimmelezer+) met victoriametrix en grafana
- Jellyfin
- Wiki.js

Die was oorspronkelijk bedoeld als vervanging van google photos. Nooit eerder bij stilgestaan hoe handig die apps kunnen zijn 😎

Wat zijn nog zoal handige dingetjes om te installeren?

I have this weird #IPv6 problem and it's driving me crazy.

So, hear me out.

I have a #wireguard tunnel set up to a VPS because my ISP doesn't offer IPv6. So all IPv6 traffic is routed over the tunnel. Obviously, this means the MTU should be reduced, so I've configured radvd to broadcast an MTU of 1420.

All fine. IPv6 works. I can visit websites, stream audio and video, ssh all over the place, all over IPv6.

Except for #thunderbird. It'll take ages trying to send an email, then complain the server timed out. It'll be unable to save drafts or sent mail to the imap server, complaining about server timeouts.

So I try sending mail with msmtp from the same machine, all is well, no timeouts whatsoever. It's just thunderbird that's being difficult.

I've been staring at this problem for weeks now, done all sorts of tcpdumps along the path from my computer to my mail server. Double-checked that ICMP6 type 2 is passed along neatly across all firewalls involved.

It's got me stumped.

I'm not expecting anyone reading this to be able to provide a solution, I just wanted to share that it's driving me crazy!

#SelfHosting

What's your self-hosting platform of choice? Proxmox? Unraid? TrueNAS? Something else?

#homelab #selfhosting

So, I'm on a Mastodon host with my own domain, how did that happen? This will be bit of a long one but bear with me.

My first self-hosting foray into Fediverse wasn't Mastodon but Peertube. It was prompted by Google deciding that I have broken an unspecified TOS point and I realised just how whimsical the ban hammer can be.

My every #selfhosting service has a story, but they all have some kind of a "Oh FFS!" reaction to a provider I'm using and funnily enough Mastodon follows the pattern.

@b9AcE

I don't want a vanguard of technical elite for exactly that reason, I want as many people as possible to be able to do this. I advocate for self-hosting and privacy to become even more accessible. It should be as simple as a guided wizard and/or default built-ins to use even the most hardened privacy security and anonymity tech

You might have noticed that some of the sauna services had been down yesterday. This was the reason why. Very important.

Also, this server, LSD, is now running a freshly built, optimised kernel. I have only noticed that my latency has dropped by like a few milliseconds, but if you notice other issues or improvements, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Also, the sauna is now on Delta Chat/Chatmail. If you want a link, just ask.

Da ich gestern auch auf #SelfHosting angesprochen wurde...

Nicht jeder hat die Möglichkeit oder das Interesse an SelfHosting. Aber wenn man es "kann" und sich ein wenig unabhängiger machen möchte - es gibt viele Möglichkeiten!

Kleines persönliches Beispiel von mir:

Angefangen hatte ich mit einem ausgedienten Raspberry, auf der ich Nextcloud installierte. Mittlerweile - mit mehreren Zwischenstationen - steht bei mir daheim mit allen selbstgehosteten Diensten ein ausgedienter, gebrauchter Lenovo ThinkCentre, den ich letztes Jahr geschenkt bekommen hatte. Da wir noch eine dazu passende CPU hatten, bekam der ThinkCentre ein feines Upgrade auf einen i7. 😁

Darauf installiert ist Debian in der Minimal-Konfiguration und - weil ich es mir einfach machen wollte - Docker. Darüber habe ich u.a. installiert:

• #BookStack (dient mir als mein persönliches Server-Verwaltungs-Logbuch)
• #Glance (Dashboard)
• #Heimdall (Dashboard)
• #Homarr (Dashboard)
• #Immich (Foto-Verwaltung und Backup, ähnlich Google Photos)
• #Jellyfin (Media Center)
• #Joplin (Umfangreiche Notizen-App)
• #Linkwarden (Bookmark-Verwaltung)
• #Mealie (Rezepte-Verwaltung)
• #OpenCloud (Backup-Cloud für Dateien aller Art, inkl. selbsgehosteten Office, Markdown und mehr)
• #Organizr (Dashboard)
• #SearXNG (Umfangreiche Suchmaschine)
• #Vaultwarden (Passwort-Verwaltung)
• #WordPress (Blogging-Software)

Zusätzlich werkelt darauf auch noch eine #Nextcloud, allerdings nicht über Docker installiert. Ein #Minecraft-Server ist darauf ebenfalls installiert sowie ein #Emulator zum zocken. 😎

Das alles nutze ich mal mehr, mal weniger.

Gerade bezüglich der Suchmaschine SearXNG war ich erst echt skeptisch. Aber ich nutze diese nun schon über ein Jahr und bin sehr, sehr zufrieden damit. Die Ergebnisse sind nicht - wie bei Google z.B. - voll mit zusammengefassten KI-Ergebnissen, die kein Mensch sehen möchte, sondern mit "echten" Ergebnissen.

Meine Fotos landen allesamt bei Immich - eine wundervolle Software, die ich gerne nutze. Auch die OpenCloud, deren Anfänge ich miterleben durfte, hat sich sehr etabliert und ist für meine gesamten Daten absolute Nummer 1 bei mir, da sie schnell und zügig lädt und Collabora Online als #selbstgehostete #Office-Lösung integriert hat.

Auch Bookstack finde ich super nützlich. Wenn ich Änderungen an der Konfiguration der Server vornehme, trage ich diese Änderungen mit Datum und Uhrzeit hier ein und kann später so nachsehen, was ich wann geändert habe. Ebenso habe ich mir in Bookstack Anleitungen hinterlegt, tägliche Checks, die ich auf den Servern durchführe und weitere Dinge, die ich einfach nur schnell per Copy & Paste ins Terminal einfügen kann.

Am Lenovo ThinkCentre angeschlossen habe ich 3 2,5 Zoll HDDs.

Thema Sicherheit: Das alles ist nur für mich in meinem lokalen Netzwerk erreichbar. Ausschließlich. Zusätzlich ist der Login abgesichert mittels #Yubikey (ein kleiner, physischer Hardware-Sicherheitsschlüssel).

Trotz all dieser Maßnahmen bin ich nach wie vor noch an einige Dinge gebunden. So nutze ich z.B. Proton. Auch habe ich meine persönliche Daten an mehreren Stellen als Backup hinterlegt, auch online, nicht nur bei mir selbstgehostet daheim.

Wer technisches Interesse und Verständnis hat, kann also auch diesen Schritt gehen und ein wenig unabhängiger werden, um von Google und Co. wegzukommen.

Und wer noch einen Schritt weitergehen möchte, kann natürlich auch seine ganz eigenes Mastodon, Friendica o.ä. auf seinem Heimserver installieren - auch das ist gut umsetzbar. So kann man sich noch einen Schritt unabhängiger machen. Die Möglichkeiten, digital unabhängiger zu werden sind groß - man muss es nur umsetzen! 😉

Fiz o #selfhosting de uma aplicação semelhante ao Google Photos, e com a vantagem de ser criptografado de ponta a ponta. É o ente.io. Adeus ter que pagar por espaço em nuvens de terceiros pra armazenar as fotos pessoais.

A aplicação é facinha de subir com docker, e o app pra iOS é demais. Desconfio que para Android a experiência seja semelhante.

Inspired by @ele selfhosting journey and I trying to get all this working and what I started from is getting Ghost working inside Yunohost.
Not that I want to publish a paid newsletter, I just thinking about moving from Medium and I like Ghost's post editor 😜

But I guess I did something wrong or whatever. Does yunohost allow install app like ghost right at domain root? Without some path like `/blog`? If that "blog" path added, Fediverse features seems to not work.

Decentralization shifts risk rather than removing it. Running your own services reduces dependency on platforms, but increases dependency on your own operational discipline. Backups, updates, monitoring, and recovery are no longer abstracted away.

What used to be handled by a provider becomes a set of explicit responsibilities. When something breaks, the cause is usually mundane. A missed update, an expired certificate, or a backup that was never tested. The tradeoff is autonomy for responsibility, and it is only obvious once you are operating the system yourself.
