It's the S1 finale for #selfhostember! It's a good time to bookmark the link to our blog - oh you'll need a bookmark manager first. Coincidentally we just have the thing for you: a post trying out #Linkding - a minimalist bookmarks manager - including an eulogy for a paid bookmarking service we all knew and loved.
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:

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.

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! 🎉
