Okay I've used up all other options, so now it's #FollowerPower and #FediMagic :

Would someone here be able to help me fix my broken #Yunohost instance? I've been without email for several weeks now 😓

All apps and admin interface work without problems, but #Dovecot fails to start with a cryptic #SSL error. I've tried the forum of course but so far without success.

Happy to share logs and all. Thanks a million! 🙏

🏕️ my adventures in self-hosting: day 220 (roller coaster edition) 🎢

A new blog post where I discuss how sanity prevailed and I will NOT install my own Lemmy instance. But! Now I'm tempted to set up something else. Thankfully reality for now is disrupting my fanciful plans.

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 202 (new chapter edition) 📖​

Hello Fedi friends,

I can't believe I missed the 200 day anniversary of my self-hosting journey. Life got in the way. I was in Como enjoying some family time and listening to the local philarmonic orchestra, so I cannot complain.

I'm thinking of changing things around here and publishing "my adventures in self-hosting" posts on my website first and syndicating them here. You know, the POSSE method and all, inspired by the great @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io.

This is by all means not a criticism of any Fediverse or social media platform.

It's just that I find it more empowering to have published content in a place where it is easily searchable... and it's not really the case here or anywhere else.

Social media glorify the present but I love the ability to go back in time to see what I was up to 6 months, a year or 5 years ago.

As a mom with aging parents, the idea of legacy is always front and center in my mind. I wanna build something that my daughter, when is older, could easily read, if she so chooses. But I'm also thinking of fellow newbies who are curious about self-hosting... having my self-hosting posts in a more organized space could definitely help others.

So this may be the last longform post I publish here natively. Future ones will be shared here of course, but will live on my website.

Anyway, it's time for my Monday routine: #YunoHost manual backup.

Wishing you all a lovely day / week! 💛

Mayday! #YunoHost needs your support!

YunoHost is free, but we do have expenses. According to our projections, our budget will be half covered by the end of the year.

Your generosity is already enabling us to maintain the project, but we'd like to do better: https://yunohost.org/donate.html

Whether it's giving your time, making a donation or spreading kind words, your contributions are always greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Good morning Fedi friends!

I've been quiet over here for a good reason: I'm currently laser-focused on producing a first promo video about the Fediverse. I'm working with two talented interns and today we start filming! More on this here: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/114454286121971517

Any free time I have I spend working on a 10 minute presentation about my self-hosting journey, that I will deliver later this month at a FOSS conference. I was invited by the amazing #YunoHost team to speak along with other inspiring folks about using YunoHost to self-host.

All this to say: it's a very very busy month and I may not have much to say about self-hosting per se. But! I just did my Monday morning ritual AKA backing up my YunoHost setup.

Wishing everyone a great week!

Good morning Fedi friends!

If you've been following my toots for a while, you know how incredibly grateful I am to @yunohost for empowering me to self-host my own fedi instances.

Six months ago I knew nothing about self-hosting. Now, thanks to #YunoHost and the superb tools they offer (for free!), I am running my own #GoToSocial, #Friendica, #Pixelfed and #PeerTube instances. I am a new and improved and more empowered digital citizen thanks to it. I cannot begin to describe the immense gratitude I feel towards YunoHost and its team of volunteers.

Well, today I have a chance to give back (a little). YunoHost has just launched a crowdfunding campaign to cover its operating costs for the rest of the year.

✨ https://yunohost.org/donate.html 🪴

I just donated to it - and if you have the means could you join me in doing so, too? Every euro / dollar / yen counts.

YunoHost has the incredible mission of empowering anyone to self-host their digital services - not just fediverse software, but HUNDREDS of free open source apps.

Needless to say, I want YunoHost to continue operating and to thrive for many many years to come. Its services are ESSENTIAL.

Thank you YunoHost for changing my life and wishing you great success with your fundraising campaign! 💚🪴

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 132 (awesome allies edition) 🎬

ICYMI: last week I installed and began tweaking my own #PeerTube instance – thanks to the ease and awesomeness of #YunoHost: @ele

https://videos.elenarossini.com/a/ele/video-channels

Now, the BEST resource there is for anyone who wants to self-host their own PeerTube is this video by @paige on @fedihost : https://video.fedihost.co/w/63AETQCcEMigzTHTmTu2Wn?start=0s

I wish I had watched it on day 1 (instead of day 3 of my journey), as it would have saved me A LOT of headaches.

The ENTIRE FediHost PeerTube channel is full of gems and I would highly recommend subscribing to it.

And now off I go print out the latest version of the script of my Fediverse video... my interns arrive in a few hours for our first production meeting. Exciteeeed
