Project activity, software launches, updates, a spotlight on #sup3rS3cretMes5age - a one-time, self-destructing messaging service, and more in this week's self-hosted recap!
I've now collected 4 of the 5 stones needed to complete the #smarthome protocol infinity gauntlet after deploying an #ESPHome device (#ratgdo) for the first time last night.
Once completed, I'll be able to decrease my home's electricity usage by 50% at the snap of my fingers.
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!
2 weeks ago I had no idea how to host a #Mastodon
Today I have 14 services running on my own domain, with admin panel, backups, monitoring, email, SSO (so good to have the same user across all the services!)
I still need to do some tweaks to the services, but for a single user all running well.
As I am using 2 VPS the total cost is € 9,50/month + a donation of 5€ to :yunohost: project.
I could run everything on my own home, maybe I will do that in the future.
Big thanks go to @jan for making it possible to install a new dependency (python-isal) and to @stefano for hosting brew.bsd.cafe where the homeassistant rc script is now located.
Any comments, suggestions, or corrections - please let me know.
Eigene Kinder + eigener Kleingarten + eigene Technik > 100% Auslastung. Für so etwas Banales wie einen regulären Job und Geld verdienen hab ich keine Zeit mehr. An solche persönlichen Dinge wie Freunde treffen, Sport machen oder liebe, alte Hobbys wieder angehen, wage ich ja nicht mal zu denken ...
Gibt man den Kleingarten wieder auf? Unsere Oase, wenn in Berlin wieder jeder Quadratmeter Grün belegt ist?
Oder schmeiße ich die ganze Technik - unsere Computer, Netzlaufwerke, Clouds, BackupServer, Firewalls und diesen ganzen "Mist" - einfach weg und gehe zurück auf Zettel und Stift?
... ich fürchte, die Kinder müssen arbeiten gehen. 🤔
@jeff Klar, kosten tut es mehr wenn andere die Arbeit machen die du dir dann sparst. 😉
Zähle übrigens auch (noch) zur Fraktion #SelfHosting. Aber wenn dann morgens plötzlich E-Mail (und Chat und Dateizugriff und ...) nicht geht weil der Server abgestürzt ist erzeugt das halt Stress, weil ich für sowas inzwischen weniger Zeitreserven habe als vor 10 Jahren.
I am really getting the hang of #Selfhosting stuff. Adding a new domain and website? Copy/paste dns settings. Add a simple server stub to my nginx.conf, run certbot --nginx -d domain.name and done. After it is running, add an index.html or setup a container and do some forwarding. Nice!

Serie: Selfhosting mit Cloudron - 3. Cloudron-Software installieren. Wie Ihr mit einem Befehl die Serversoftware Cloudron installiert, ist der nächste Schritt in meiner Serie.
Helping someone with recovering data from their corrupt external hard drive which is requiring me to use my server’s storage drive to do the backup. Unfortuantely, I need to do this from a different computer than the server, so all my self-hosted services are currently down while I do a multi-terabyte data transfer dance. :(
Beim #Selfhosting der #Nextcloud steht mir gerade #IPv6 im Weg. Da es hier kein #DSL gibt, sind wir mit #Telekom#5g verbunden. Eine öffentliche IPv6 haben wir uns schon geklickt. Es gab aber noch nie Berührungspunkte damit. Herausgefunden haben wir schon, dass es sich um eine /64 IPv6 handelt. Wo und wie fängt man denn jetzt sinnvoll an? Als Router kommt eine Fritzbox 6850 zum Einsatz.
I hooked my GNU/Linux-loving son up with an old #lenovo#thinkcenter mini-PC that I picked up at a used AV store for about $50. For another $20, I upgraded the ram to 12GB.
He's got it setup it up with #debian as his first home server, with which he's now hosting a few static websites and an internet radio station for his friends and family. He's got loads of resources to spare for when he gets into running larger services.
You don't need to spend $30+ a month on cloud services when an old recycled office PC will more than suffice.
The best part? Helping him troubleshoot his problems with #DNS and #nginx and all that fun stuff. I've already made every mistake possible over the decades, and he gets to benefit from that. That how it should work!
As my old NUC was showing its age, and didn't suffice for my #homelab needs anymore, I decided to build a new one. And because I prefer running all my #selfhosted in containers, but abhor fucking around with #docker and docker-compose, it's a single-node #k8s cluster, using #k3s, just like my old server. One big difference is that the new server has a decent amount of drives for storage. I decided to set up #zfs to manage that, and zfs is all it's cracked up to be.
The Forgejo community has just published the 7.0.1 bug fix release[1]. I went to my server, did a systemctl stop forgejo, to stop the rootless container[2] I use to run it, issued podman pull codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:7-rootless to get the updates, and finally systemctl start forgejo and done. Updated. Thank you @forgejo for being awesome and working so hard on making things better and better!
do any of you use a #mastodon#selfhosting company that has a MOBILE FRIENDLY administration/moderation interface? it's gotta be one of the ones where you pay for it and they keep it updated for you, i don't want to fiddle with it too much, but i need to be able to do the admin/mod stuff that keeps it going FROM MY PHONE. i use android. it doesn't have to be mastodon specifically just something that hooks into the microblogging fediverse or whatever
