Self-hosting

My VPS has S3 bucket compatibility (Not an Amazon VPS btw)

Recently, I was chatting with a friend, and we were talking about ‘de-Googling’, federated networks and self-hosted services. As I was listing the benefits and my largely positive experience with them (the Fediverse for the most part), my friend pointed out that it isn’t an environmentally friendly solution, nor is it optimised for the long term. He told me that it requires more machines that consume more energy than a single large one, as these machines aren’t specialised for hosting services. What’s your view on the argument that ‘several small machines that consume more energy are less optimised and eco-friendly than a single large one built and designed for that purpose’? I realise that the large machine goes hand in hand with techno-fascists and that they are the real problem, but what if we were to look at this from a purely technical, forward-looking perspective on a clean future? How would you respond to this ?

For a hobby of mine, there’s an outdated lore wiki on Fandom. I dislike Fandom and would like to host an alternative. It’s supposed to be accessible to all kinds of people.

Hey y’all, REAL basic question here. Like many, friends and I have started using Matrix (working on setting up my own server) and settled on Commet for a client, mainly because of its simplicity and gif keyboard (friends demand it)

I am getting started with self hosting and one of the things I would love to host is a Signal TLS proxy using Docker.

Ive gotten hold of an intel nuc from around 2014, is it possible to use it for self hosting cloud services (audio streaming, ip security cam fotage reciving and storage, photo storage) or is it more suitable as an emulation box?

I was thinking about how to improve my email situation, because at the moment I am using an address of a commercial mail provider, which obviously brings some concerns of lock-in.

A family member is interested in self-hosting their photos! They asked me if there is a NAS I would recommend.

Im interested in starting to self host and ive seen that people use old computers, but Im wondering if these specs are overkill:

Hi, so I've ended up bagging myself a big supermicro server. I'm wanting to try out a little bit of everything with it, but one thing I really want is to be able to have services that haven't been used for a bit to stop or sleep. And then to wake up again or start up on request, rather than me having manually stop and start services. Is that a thing?

I've been using hetzner for a good long while now. When I switched over to them, I think they were the cheapest around, but it seems loads of other companies are popping up offering dirt cheap VPS's these days. I'm now considering a migration.

If you’re not in Europe, move along. You’re stuffed and this thread can’t¹ help you.

Hi!

I have a relative small home server running an *Arr stack and some other stuff. So basically just a handful of containers. I am looking for a simple monitoring setup with a web dashboard that I can access on my local network.

I've had an old laptop running Home Assistant for quite a while. I've recently started getting into docker. I'm part way through setting up a NAS and want to check if I'm doing anything really stupid.

Hi!

Basically the title. It's particularly acute for me since (from using different browsers) I have several bookmark collections with a large overlap but no subset relation between them.

Discourse, Flarum, MyBB, phpBB, Simple Machines Fourm, and NodeBB are what I can find. Any yays or nays? More suggestions? Purpose of self hosting for friends, privately.

Like SearchXNG but for chatbots.

Just so I could like sync a channel, for example, download the current available and upcoming videos so it could be accessed via Jellyfin (or something similar, or maybe upload them into a locally restricted hosted PeerTube) locally?

There are apps like https://offpunk.net/ which are explicitly low tech (and even solar punk). But there are also apps, which just happen to be offline first (think PWA etc.). And things in between, like Syncthing. Some might be self hosted other maybe local or distributed applications.

There is a periodic meeting of linux users in my area where everyone brings laptops and connects to a LAN. Just wondering if I want to share files with them, what are decent options? Is FTP still the best option or has anything more interesting emerged in the past couple decades? Guess I would not want to maintain a webpage so web servers are nixed. It’s mainly so ppl can fetch linux ISO images and perhaps upload what they have as well.

Please forgive the annoying asking for info post

With layoffs starting at WordPress, and me recognizing that I'm a bit of a dinosaur in this regard, I'm wondering what folks are using for self-hosting their own blog these days? While I'm not exactly prolific, I do like having my own little home on the internet to write up things I find interesting and pretending people actually read it. And, of course, I really don't want to be reliant on someone else's computers; so, the ability to self-host is a must.

I'm interviewing folks to determine the roadmap for my federated link sharing project "linkblocks". If you like bookmark managers, lemmy, are.na, or any other app for curating and sharing stuff, this is your chance to make me build your dream app ;)

Hey folks!

I currently have an email provider who also gives me my own nextcloud account. If I were to setup my own server in a while (which I would like to do), will I be able to carry over all my things (contacts, calendar,Talk conversations, appointment pages, etc) in some easy manner?

Hello, people

I'm trying to see if I can host my own Fediverse instance for friends and family and I want to know what kind of device would be required. I'm an absolute beginner to self-hosting so I was wondering if I can start cheap (Raspberry Pi 2GB RAM is something I can definitely consider).

I just learned how to do a reverse proxy using Caddy, tailscale tunnel, and exposing Immich secured by OAuth all in a few hours. Now I'm no longer scared of exposing certain services to the Internet!
