🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting: day 244 (Everest edition) ⛰️

a blog post that details some of the highs and lows I have been experiencing lately in my self-hosting adventures. I have a major challenge ahead - learning #Docker - in order to take advantage of #Ghost x #ActivityPub federation. It's my new Everest 🥲

@molly0xfff is one of the most interesting tech critics out there, covering subjects like crypto industry spending in politics, Web3, and the tech industry as a whole with integrity and (sometimes) optimism. She spoke to NiemanLab about her Follow the Crypto site, her love of RSS, migrating from Substack to @ghost, and more. At the second and third links find her DotSocial conversation with @mike and an extract from her Fediverse House presentation at last year's SXSW.

@dangillmor @taylorlorenz#Ghost ( @index) is insanely more functional and NOT neck deep in Nazis - I love my subscriptions to @404mediaco , flaming hydra, & others on there

People, please don't use #SubStack

Please use #Ghost
https://ghost.org

You can let your site be hosted by Ghost or even better..

..self-host!

Setting up a site is super easy and you can even use membership features like I do here: https://stux.me/membership/

For every platform with a shady CEO there is a self-hosted alternative that is waaay better

#FOSS FTW!

Hello Fedi friends,

Please stage an intervention. This is a special “my adventures in self-hosting - 🤡 edition” toot.

So I need to learn #Docker in order to move my #Ghost blog there - possibly - as it’s the only way to let it federate (per the official Ghost.org documentation).

If you’ve followed me here for a while, you might have caught a running joke “please don’t tempt me to get a THIRD #VPS”.

This is my mayday, begging you: “please talk me out of getting a third VPS.”

I was happily doing online research wondering if I could install Docker on my #RaspberryPi5. Sure, it’s possible. Good to know.

Then things escalated when I started wondering: “hmmm how much would it cost to get a new VPS for Docker testing purposes?”

I checked out the website of my current VPS provider and noticed that you could get a basic VPS and pick an application that would come pre-installed. Docker is in the list of applications with a thumbs up next to it. Oh and I have a $20 credit after a commission. Awww the temptation!

I’m currently with my extended family in the middle of nowhere, with no WiFi in the house, one bar of 5G in most places (at best) and a laptop that refuses to connect to my phone’s hotspot. I’m typing this on my iPad (which is cooperating, vis-à-vis tethering). It’s my 12th day in this location, with 4 days to go before I return to civilization. I’m easily tempted because I’m going a little batty.

Please please please tell me that it’s better to learn Docker on my Pi 5. It’ll be waiting for me at home in a few days 😅
