In this spooky 13th edition of #selfhostember, we take a look at #Netbird - an overlay VPN , and #tailscale competitor - to access our services from anywhere without exposing them to the public internet.
In S01E14, you learn that you've been tricked into becoming a system administrator and now you need to care about things like backups and (more importantly) restores:

We are back to trying things out using Docker in today's look at Actual Budget (which does actually budget, in a rare case of literal correctness).
Man, published a blog post and we almost forgot to self-promote.
Do you suddenly have a need for a new eBook manager because the one you've got has AI in it? We look at #booklore for today's #selfhostember post.

Have you ever wanted an IAO3: An @internetarchive of Our Own?
Day 5 of #selfhostember is installing and using ArchiveBox to save the web that you care about to your local instance:
We took a break! (You deserve one too.)
But we are back. This time, on Day 9, with zero pictures but SIX recommendations to secure your servers!
A longer #selfhostember post today -- why self hosting email is important, why it's (probably) not as bad as you think and how DKIM/SPF and DMARC are things you can mostly not think about by deploying Stalwart on your server.
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.

It's day 2 of #selfhostember and today we have a post for you on how to get #jellyfin up and running and take your media back from the prying hands of the streaming ~cartel~ industry.
Business is a little bit more serious on Day 6 of #selfhostember but we are sowing now so we can reap later 💪
Today we take a look at securing your self-hosted services and owning your identity with Pocket ID, in which we also learn a little bit about OIDC, Passkeys and, uh, Livejournal?

Is this thing on? 🎤
Oh, it's December. Should we do one of those month-long series things?!
Okay then.
We can call it #selfhostember because the world does not need another Advent calendar.
If you've ever asked "what would I use my own server for?" then we would like to show off ~around two dozen self-hostable pieces of software, alternatives to centralized solutions or just their own thing.
To start, here's some instructions on setting up your environment: https://blog.colocataires.dev/posts/00-setup/

We promised to reap later and today we do! On day 7 of #selfhostember, we install Dawarich, an open-source alternative to Google Timeline (i.e. location tracking) and setup auth to it using Pocket ID. The installation is fairly straightforward if a bit long (no candles were held to Discourse, however).
A little early to #selfhostember day 4 so I can go out and get food.
Here's a look at creating a convivial place for an online community, and bringing back the best of web forums, through a Ruby on Rails app:

Did you think we forgot? No! we were just busy planning a party for day 3 of #selfhostember: a #Copyparty! 🎉

I mean, fair warning for my followers: yes, I will be boosting every single day of #selfhostember from Colocataires. I understand if people aren't into that but if you complain you're siding with Bezos, sorry.
