@kd ah I don’t mean for Mastodon specifically, I just mean in general. I’ve tinkered over the years but a few months ago set up a bunch of services I’m using all the time now on a couple of rPi 4s.
@feyo I have been reflecting a lot lately on why I'm enjoying it. The autonomy is amazing – not paying rent to live under someone else's rules online. I'm an iOS/MacOS user, and while the latter is actually pretty open (despite what non-users think), iOS is just so locked down. Self-hosted services are one way I can really get much more out of my phone.
@feyo Ha! I've tinkered a bit over the years but I now have a pretty sustainable setup running on a couple of pi4s that I could quickly rebuild and repopulate in the event of catastrophic hardware/software problems. Running (among other things): Homer, Plex, *arr indexers, FreshRSS, Calibre, AudioBookShelf, a couple of Wordpress sites, nginx, Portainer, URL Watch, code-server, Mealie, Wallabag. Loving almost all of them – not using Mealie much, would love an alternative. You?
@feyo FreshRSS, URL Watch abd Wallabag (even though it's mysteriously very slow!) I use every single day. Trying to use Forgejo too but can't figure out how to clone over ssh from a container 🤔
@feyo I'm pretty curious about Home Assistant. I'm running everything on rPi4s, which are amazing, but I've noticed that if I overload them with containers they'll crash occasionally, and I don't want to be stuck with the lights on or off 😆
@bursaar Smart Home is one massive project by itself that is never done. Always something new to get/install. I just run everything at home on a small NUC type pc. Media is hosted on a dedicated server at Hetzner.
