Europe is pushing for digital sovereignty 🇪🇺
XWiki and OpenProject are building an open source alternative to Confluence and Jira—aimed at reducing reliance on U.S. tech and giving users more control 🔐

Backed by public initiatives like ZenDiS, the project supports self-hosted, transparent collaboration tools.

How to Host Your Own #Mastodon Server on a #VPS (5 Minute Quick-Start Guide)

This article provides a guide for how to host your own Mastodon server on a VPS.

Running your own Mastodon server on a VPS is an excellent way to enjoy an efficient and secure Mastodon experience.
What is Mastodon?
Mastodon is a #decentralized social media platform that enables users to post ...

This is your casual reminder to #selfhost At least that what you are comfortable with

#selfhosting is about being independent. About owning your data. About reclaiming the 'net and decentralizing it. It is about taking control. Being able to do things the way you see fit. And it is about breaking free from subscriptions and from big tech which is #enshittifying like there is no tomorrow.

Go #selfhosted the way you see fit. In small steps, one platform at a time - or with a head first dive if you are feeling adventurous. Share your experiences, write a blog about it, create a video or post about it on the Fediverse.

It most definitely is not too late to revolt. To give big tech the middle finger. Firmly stand your ground. Be a rebel.

Curious how many folks actually host their internet stuff from their home servers? Also, if you do... are you opening up ports on your router, are you using tailscale to a VPS to proxy the traffic, using something like Cloudflare Tunnels or ngrok?

Although I'm a big #Nextcloud fan, the frequent issues around the auto-upload feature of the NC-#Android app drive me into looking for an alternative for the auto-Backup of my mobile photos. What's a sensible #selfhosted solution? #Syncthing ? #Immich ? Something else. Ideally, I'd like to mount that storage as read-only in Nextcloud.

Auch wenn ich großer #Nextcloud Fan bin vergeht mir bei den ständigen Autouploadproblemen der NC-#Android App und den Bugs bei vielen Appupdates so langsam die Lust darüber meine Handyfotos zu sichern. Was nimmt man stattdessen #selfhosted für den Autoupload der Fotos? #Syncthing? #Immich? Ganz was anderes? Am besten so, dass man den Fotospeicher noch in der Nextcloud mounten kann zum anschauen, aber halt read-only.

Update on my interest in moving away from #GitHub to another code forge. I was excited about #Radicle because it is meant to be #P2P, but I ended up deciding against it. Besides the use of cryptocurrency for fundraising/management being a red flag, I found that I needed a seed node with a dedicated address in order to host a private repo, which doesn't feel truly P2P.

I also want to be able to convince other people to use the code forge with me to write code and papers. The added complexity of Radicle (from a user's perspective) seems like even more of an uphill battle than getting mathematicians to choose git instead of #Overleaf. (By the way, we could use a #FOSS Overleaf alternative.)

Due to these considerations, it looks like self-hosting @forgejo is the way to go! (Even if it's not P2P.)

Anyway, I have gotten set up with a European VPS thanks to https://european-alternatives.eu/ and have a Debian machine running. I now need to get Forgejo set up, and I have three install methods I might use:

1) Follow https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/installation-binary/
2) Follow https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/forgejo-deb which says that (1) is bad
3) Use podman

From (2) I could start Forgejo and from (3) I could start a container, but the instructions on https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/installation-docker/ don't work for me. In all cases I need to use the web UI to finish installation. Am I supposed to have no CLI alternative for this? I feel like installing a desktop environment on my VPS is not the answer, but I'm not sure what else to do here.

Any #network engineers out there looking for a job? I'm looking for one or two good engineers to help me build a global network to make our company #selfhosted. Currently have PoPs in 7 countries with plans to expand.

Need to know #bgp, #mpls, #ospf and #vxlan. #linux and #automation skills are useful too.

The position is #fullyremote with occasional travel for hardware installs and maintenance.

Does anyone know of a self-hosted tool that creates a heat map of all the places you’ve been? Specifically for walking / running / cycling, like Strava’s feature but fully local. I want to use it to set myself goals to walk all the streets in an area.
