#XMPP #FOSS #SelfHosting

Good morning Fedi friends!

This week I will publish a first post in my mini series for total newbies about how to self-host with #YunoHost.

The very first article will simply cover the basics of what is needed... then part 2 will be the step-by-step installation and connecting a domain + creating a subdomain... and then part 3 will cover installing an app (NextCloud) and setting up a backup system.

I'm hoping to get all this done before Christmas, in time for my one year anniversary of self-hosting with YunoHost (thank you again @ilja for setting all this in motion last year).

As I type this, I'm currently backing up my YunoHost and these days my backup files are about 13GB in size, broken down as follows (in descending order):

• #GoToSocial: 5.3 GB
• #PeerTube: 4 GB
• #NextCloud: 2.3 GB
• #Pixelfed: 1.4 GB
• #LinkStack: 91 MB

Wishing you all a great day & week!

I have one very silly question for #selfhosting
Which service is best for hosting my music library for me, myself and family.

Needs: any android client app support
Any Linux client app support
Works on x86_64 server

Nice to have a web ui but it's not a must have

I have over 1 terabyte of music and I want to have ability to listen to it using our mobiles.

Today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent is Vaultwarden.

Vaultwarden is a readily self-hosted alternative implementation of Bitwarden, a password / credential manager.

It works with Bitwarden clients, and has its own web client.

Sandra and I use it to share passwords with each other, as well as keeping our own separate vaults in sync across multiple devices.

#Linux #FOSS #selfhosting

#selfhosting con #yunohost pare che #gotosocial sia il processo che consuma più RAM (245 MB circa), seguito da #rsshub e poi mysql/mariadb che fondamentalmente fa girare wordpress.
Ora la domanda è quanto di questo consumo sia legato a vari bot e scrapers AI. Temo che siano prevalenti, il mio singolo utente è veramente una goccia nel mare e segue pochissimi account. Ma come si fa per arginare il problema?

Just published: how I migrated the Mastodon instance burningboard.net to a multi‑jail FreeBSD setup with BastilleBSD. Central PF firewall, real dual‑stack, and clean service separation.

Il web che amo.
Quello dei piccoli blog indipendenti, magari ospitati su qualche VPS dove si offrono anche servizi open source e privacy oriented, istanze del #fediverso, e tanto altro.

Si può parlare di #indieweb?
In ogni caso, impegniamoci per alimentare un WWW più sano.

Per non creare un'accozzaglia di url, mi limiterò a taggare alcuni profili (in ordine sparso), da cui poi ricavare i link:

Ho appena aperto una stanza pubblica su Matrix dedicata agli aspetti tecnici del Fediverso 🛠️🌐

È pensata per admin, smanettoni, curiosə e chiunque voglia parlare di:

self-hosting di istanze,

configurazioni, backup, sicurezza,

strumenti e buone pratiche tra admin e futuri admin.

Niente flame, niente politica del giorno, niente “il Fediverso sta diventando X”: solo confronto tecnico, domande, aiuto reciproco e condivisione di esperienza.

La stanza è aperta a tuttə gli interessati:
👉 link Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#Feditecnica:searxng.noho.st

Se ti va di imparare, aiutare o semplicemente lurkare per capire come funziona “dietro le quinte”, sei il benvenuto.

P.s. Presentatevi all'iscrizione.😉

Ever messed up an update? We got you covered! Simply restore your Snapshot!

You can now also manage (create, delete, restore) a snapshot of your Box! If you ever messed up your application, OS update or anything else - simply go back to your last snapshot and try again! This way, you can test and learn #BSD even better and easier!

PSA: If you use #Nextcloud, make sure to update to the latest server and app versions. They published a bunch of CVEs.

#Selfhosted and #Selfhosting people, what your current go-to for web-based docker container management? I've been using #dockge and I like it, but it seems nothing much is happening there (last commit 8 months ago). I tried Arcane, but... it's a bit... arcane, I liked dockge's simplicity more. #portainer seems to have gone enterprise and is likely to get more "enshittified" over time. So what do you all use?

DAY. EIGHT. Despair is setting in. I am dreaming of Docker Compose files. Jorge Luis Borges' Library of Babel must contain them all.

Anyway! I'm sure that what Owlbear Rodeo does is self-evident but just in case: it's a virtual table-top for a group to play #dungeonsanddragons or other TTRPGs together without being in the same corporeal location.

Like astral projection.

Have you considered making your own #GoToSocial server?

GoToSocial is a new Fediverse platform which is lighter than Mastodon and has more user safety features. It's compatible with Mastodon apps so there are already lots of ways to use it.

You don't need to be techy to set up a GTS server, there are managed hosting providers at https://fedihost.co/hosting/gotosocial and https://communick.com/gotosocial

If you ARE techy, there are manual installation instructions at https://docs.gotosocial.org

In the past few days I’ve seen talk about RAM prices shooting up due to demand from big datacenters.

Today I read that a historic brand like Crucial - I own plenty of their hardware, including SSDs - is dropping consumer products to focus on gear for those same datacenters.
The result (or maybe the intention?) is to push people away from self hosting, undermine the OwnYourData idea and make everyone depend on huge datacenters for life.

So much for owning your data.
So much for decentralisation.

Because taking down one giant datacenter is far easier than taking down thousands or millions of individual nodes.

Friends and colleagues, don’t trade your freedom for a bit of convenience. Once you give it away, getting it back is very hard.

Always Own Your Data.
