I'm currently trying to migrate a #mastodon server from masto.host to self-hosted and having problems (I already shut down the server, so I'm posting from an old account).
Does somebody know which files in the backup are which in the mastodon migration guide?
I'm also having trouble with restoring the PostgreSQL backup ('pg_restore: error: connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "mastodon"').
Thanks for any help!
(It would be nice if someone could boost this, because given that this is an old account, I don't think many people would see this post otherwise.)
Nitter is not dead. The alternative twitter/x front-end,is still working. Yes, now there are just a few public instances (nitter.poast.org is one of them), but with just a basic linux and docker knowledge you can self-host your own private instance.

To all #selfhost people in the #federation / #federated space. Due to a lack of #funds (on my online side of things) and the upkeep of an #instance growing by the month, AND the renewal of my domain (25-35$). I am considering closing down the enshittification.social instance to save the money for other #projects that I work on, and mostly my own #infrastructure.
What are your #experiences? What do you guys think is the best path for me to take?
Dropped some updates to selfh.st/apps this morning - tiles now have visible/clickable tags, URL properties have been added for sharing custom views with others, and I've added a ton of new project icons.
I'm completely open to feedback on future improvements, but probably won't consider adding any more details to the tiles to prevent them from becoming too cluttered.
Decided to sit down and try to learn #kubernetes despite the fact that I don't have any real need for it on my little home server. Still, it's been interesting and - I won't lie - a bit frustrating at times. It's very much like using a chainsaw to butter my bread for my use case, but I had a nice feeling of satisfaction when I succeeded in getting #owncast set up through it. I've had some odd issues with Docker failing to launch certain containers through containerd that I have not been able to figure out, however.
I was putting thought into maybe redoing my server setup with kubernetes but I sincerely worry that I'll run into this same containerd issue with some of my other apps.

Since this Matrix instance is selfhosted, the uptime of the instance will not be the BEST and downtimes can happen so use it at your own risk. However, you can see how stable my selfhosted server is here: https://stats.uptimerobot.com/89VnzSKAn/793739181

Just dropped a new episode of The Self-Host Cast featuring a casual conversation with Ivan, the developer of the #vehicle maintenance tracking application #LubeLogger.
Would love some feedback on ways to improve or suggestions for future episode topics!
Been battling to get #LaravelSail working with rootless #Podman all evening and aren't having much luck. Boo to overly complex things.
It's so close to working well but the whole uid/gid mapping thing just falls apart when the container starts running things as different users. All of a sudden there're large parts of my source tree that I can't edit, not to mention being unable to use artisan make tools.
Behind search for masto is a resource-hungry #java application called #elasticSearch. Sure you might be able to get Masto to run on a #raspberrypi4, but you won't be running elastic search with it.
Having recently moved my instance to a much more powerful system, I now run ES, and WOW what a difference being able to search post makes! Soooo many times I wanted to reference a toot that had scrolled by but had no way of finding it. Now I do!
Even though I've put some serious resource limits on ES, it's bar none the most resource intensive service running (out of around 25).
Please consider sending a few bucks to the #MastodonAdmin of your instance. Better yet, if you can afford it, sign up for a monthly donation. They need it.
I'm launching a new sister project to the self-hosted apps directory I launched a few weeks ago and am giving the #fediverse a sneak peek because I need your help!
What are your favorite companion apps for the self-hosted services you deploy?
They must support software that can be self-hosted, be relatively up-to-date, and can be closed source.
Comment below or send me a DM with your suggestions. Thanks!
