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.)
I'm so excited about existing self-hosted applications (https://selfh.st/apps/) and possibilities to integrate them, so I dumped some of my random thoughts on pubnix-like community infrastructure in this post:
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.
It took me a few tries to get into the boot manager of the Minix Z100-0dB, but now Debian is installed.
And the first impression is great! Everything already feels very fast. Worlds better than with my Rock64 NAS. But I can only say more once I've run a few benchmarks and finished setting up my NAS.
Vorrei iniziare ad utilizzare nextcloud per i miei servizi cloud, ma sono indeciso se mettere su un mio server, oppure affidarmi ad un servizio VPS o similare? La mia paura del locale è la possibile perdita di dati (penso sempre ad ogni possibile disatro) #nextcloud#cloud#selfhosting#server#backup
Software launches, updates, new directory apps, a spotlight on Alex Kretzschmar @ironicbadger - a content creator and frequent contributor to the self-hosted community, and more in this week's self-hosted recap!
I've been meaning to do this for a while, and tonight I finally supported @mwl for his new book: Run Your Own Mail Server: A Book for Independence & Privacy
Every book I've read by mwl has gifted me with smiles, laughter, knowledge, awareness, and a desire to experiment.
Can't wait to dive into this new work!
Cancelled my wordpress.com plan today. Started using it during a lull in self-hosting.
Not intending to self-host Wordpress though - are there any good tools to convert Wordpress exports into something usable? I'm considering running a static blog off markup or something.
Irgendein Bug im letzten #Jellyfin-Update (10.9.2) macht Sperenzchen, so dass Clients nur noch eingeschränkt bzw. gar nicht mehr funktionieren/connecten. 😩 Halben Tag alles mögliche versucht und jetzt geb ich einfach auf und warte auf einen (hoffentlich baldigen) hotfix. #selfhosting
I’ve been having a foray into Home Assistant again after a two years and I have a question for the experts:
I have a HomePod Mini that’s the hub of my Home. All my Thread devices are connected to it
I can see the HomePod in HomeAssistant and control what music it’s playing, but I can’t see the Thread devices connected to it
Some people are saying you can use this “Import Credentials” button in the Thread integration, but that doesn’t do anything
Is there a solution? #HomeAssistant#selfhosting
I have a home server with various services running (all isolated with different user accounts). The server has a small SSD and a big external HDD, but I'd like to make external backups to my cloud account. The cloud service has a proprietary command line application to sync data, so backups would ideally be date separated compressed tar files that it can then sync. An additional complication are PostgreSQL and SQLite databases that can't just be copied without risking breaking the integrity of the files.
How would you do the backups? Do you have some existing app that you could suggest? I'm sure I can whip up some script to do it, but I wouldn't mind if there was something already made.
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.
Put it off for quite a while but I finally migrated from the deprecated linuxserver/unifi-controller container to the new linuxserver/unifi-network-application container to my unifi control plane.
I got a new switch that required at least unifi 8.1 and i was lagging behind on 8.0.27.
the new network-application requires a mongo db container. no big deal. but i had to export a full site backup and start from a clean slate with the new 8.1 system. no in-place upgrade supported. was fairly painless tbh, just a bit of a pallavah and an exercise in yak shaving i could have done without tonight. #selfhosting
After watching OpenAI's presentation and, even more, an excerpt from Google's presentation yesterday, I asked myself: is this AI, according to the big tech companies (especially Google - for OpenAI it's their core business, so I understand their perspective), truly what users want and need, or is it just another method to lock people into using their technologies, which are not easily self-hostable?
I'm not arguing for or against it, but I noticed that (almost) the entire Google I/O yesterday was focused on this...
I have telegram because it was really easy to set up a bot and a bash script to send messages to it-basically my own little notifications app. But it’s also the only thing I use telegram for. What’s a good alternative? Free and open source preferred. Self hosting as well
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.
About ready to start working on my first homelab machine for self-hosting things instead of just glomming all my services on to the NAS. How feasible is it to start out on a Raspberry Pi while I get the hang of things? #selfhosting#selfhosted#homelab#raspberrypi
I am looking into hosting a #Pixelfed instance. Already got a nice domain for it and have the general idea how to do it. Anything I should know before starting? #selfhosting
