So.... it took me all day, but I finally managed to install GoToSocial on a Raspberry pi 4 running Alpine Linux.

This may end up replacing mastodon for me !

I still haven't sorted a web client yet but Tusky will suffice for now.

I do have one issue with Tusky it won't show my account page not sure what's going on there.🤔

Anybody else have this issue or a recommendation for the web client ?

    More and more are realizing that it was a really bad idea to entrust all data to Big Tech. Given that, what do you do now?

    For many it just means moving to a different hosting service, that is not Big Tech. For others it means hosting yourself. Likely there will be a bit of a combination for many. In any case, this means the need to build up competence in the organization, which IMHO is a good thing.

    In my old company, Opera, and in my new one @Vivaldi, we always run things that way. Our servers have always been our servers. We may choose to use some external services, but mostly we use our own.

    Our Vivaldi servers are in Iceland. At Opera, we built significant server farms across the world, including in Iceland, not least for the Opera Mini service. The server farms we built at Opera handled hundreds of millions of users on a monthly basis. The Opera Mini service had billions of daily page views going through it.

    When some are saying that there is not enough competence to move away from Big Tech, that is really nonsense. It can take time to do so, as with any migration and it may require different thinking, but it is mostly a question of will.

      I saw a terrible message from DigitalOcean yesterday. I was helping a co-worker learn to do SASL authentication with Postfix, using Dovecot to do the heavy lifting, (second co-worker this week! Breaking people free from Google!) and we got to the point where we were ready to have him send out a test email - a reply to an email I'd just sent him that exercised all the moving parts of his inbound path.

      But when he tried to send, he couldn't talk to my email server. I checked to make sure he wasn't being firewalled, but he didn't show up in my abuse listing. But then on poking around, it became clear he couldn't talk to ANY port 25 ANYWHERE. And I thought, "Oh, right, they've got that blocked. Le'ts find an article talking about how to unblock it." Not too uncommon. So I looked for their docs on unblocking 25.

      Turns out, there's no automated way - not even a support ticket type for the purpose. You have to open a general request.

      But man, they REALLY don't want you opening a general request! This is a masterpiece of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt:

      digitalocean.com/community/tut

      Without meaning to, they've eloquently captured the essence of everything we're seeing with the destructive corporatization and centralization of online services. They say:

      "In many ways, mail server stacks represent a collision between the tools and values of the early internet — self-hosting open source software using well-defined standards and interoperable protocols — and the reality of the modern internet — a few centralized, trusted authorities."

      This, not to put too fine a point on it, is BAD FOR US.

      We need *more* selfhosting. I was a customer of theirs for a few years, but I stopped after they had some catastrophe that prevented me from accessing my server console for more than a week. Their support was underwater and I didn't get any movement until I decided to publically name and shame them with details of the incident.

      This kind of attitude should make anyone hesitant to sign up for services with DigitalOcean.

        Home Assistant OS runs in a bhyve VM, but bhyve has no USB passthrough, so Zigbee2MQTT and Mosquitto live in a VNET jail with the ConBee II.

        Homematic comes in via a CCU3, and three IKEA Matter-over-Thread devices use my Nanoleaf Shapes controller as their border router.

              Ich habe in heute folgende Admin-Aufgabe gegeben:

              Herausfinden, warum eine zu Server „Orion“ über und einen lokalen, per installierten nicht funktioniert, während der Zugang über klappt.

              „Orion“ als Tailscale Exit Node konfigurieren.

              Die Exit-Routen anschliessend auf dem „Andromeda“ über die Konsole der freigeben.

              Codex hat selbstständig die SSH-Konfiguration, Host-Aliase, Portbelegung, Tor-Dienst, Hidden Service und Timeouts überprüft. Gefunden wurden ein fehlender SSH-Alias, ein für Tor zu kurzer Verbindungs-Timeout und ein bereits belegter lokaler Port durch eine andere autossh-Verbindung.

              Danach hat Codex die SSH-Konfiguration korrigiert, die Onion-Verbindung erfolgreich getestet, auf „Orion“ die IPv4- und IPv6-Exit-Routen via Tailscale annonciert und sie auf „Andromeda“ direkt in der YunoHost-App-Konsole von Headscale freigegeben. Bestehende Subnet-Routen blieben erhalten.

              Dauer: ungefähr 5 Minuten, inklusive Diagnose, Änderungen und abschliessender Verifikation.

              Schon beeindruckend, wie weit agentisches Arbeiten mit OpenAI, Codex und ChatGPT inzwischen geht: nicht nur Kommandos vorschlagen, sondern eine mehrstufige Infrastrukturaufgabe nachvollziehbar untersuchen und ausführen.

                          New site generator

                          When Stefano (@stefano@bsd.cafe) announced his own static site generator, the BSSG, I couldn't let it pass and went to give it a try and start to plan my site's migration, from hugo to BSSG.

                          First impressions: it's awesome! Simple but complete. It comes with all available themes in the package and it even comes with a tool to generate a page to sample all of them!

                          What I like: it's not something new but I find the commands to create and edit content very useful. I'm used to open a vim session and work from there but the ability to enter ./bsgg.sh edit <filename> or ./bssg.sh post and it simply asks for the title and opens the default editor. Simple. And when you save and close your file, it rebuilds itself to update your content.

                          What I want (not need): the admin interface. Not for me, since I was born in the command line, but for the common folk that I want to convert to the simple world of static sites.

                          So far, it's one of the best tools that I came across :)

                          OBS. One issue that I found is that when using pandoc to render the pages, the standard list format is not rendered in the HTML. It works with commonmark.

                                        'one' is serving Nextcloud All-in-one, Immich and Vaultwarden via a Caddy reverse-proxy. All using Docker containers, Caddy as a custom build with my domain DNS provider added.

                                        'two' is used as remote borg backup destination for 'one', and later a few monitoring tools.

                                        All three sites are using a wildcard certificate for my domain, and I connect via WireGuard (on the router) when away from home.

                                        Path of least resistance:

                                        I've tried Podman, AlmaLinux, and running a manual install of Nextcloud on Ubuntu. This setup follows recommended installations methods, and gives me fewer things to worry about.

                                            The new account is on my own self-hosted instance which I prefer. has been great, so nothing against it. I'd julst like to dabble more with now.

                                            I'll attempt another proper migration in 21 days after the cool down period.

                                              As someone who really likes RSS, I found this post (which I read via RSS) by @michal quite interesting:

                                              I like the simplicity and uniformity of RSS: posts from people whose stuff I want to read, available to me automatically, without regard for whatever styling they might have applied to their site. Just text in a window.

                                              I add and remove feeds quite regularly - as Michal says, sometimes someone's posts just don't gel enough for me so I find myself regularly skipping them.

                                                    Then, I logged into my box and found that fail2ban, Asterisk and PostgreSQL aren't feeling well. The system load and the traffic amounts was unusual — the parameters are completely differs from which I used to see since server installation.

                                                    I checked fail2ban logs and found that it is still parses the data from Asterisk log which were happen at near 5 hours ago :drgn_shocked: And there were total mess in the Asterisk security.log (see screenshot) — some dumb (as it programmers :drgn_blush_giggle: ) LLM-bots were constantly trying to connect to my Asterisk server with HTTP protocol, evaluating it as a web-server, I dunno :drgn_think_confused:

                                                    And the Asterisk logs became enormously big — while newsyslogd wasn't invoked — they eat at near 4 GB :drgn_shocked: . I didn't specify the maximal size of Asterisk logfiles in the /etc/newsyslog.conf, because I wasn't expected a lot of lines in the PBX logs, which is in use only for my relatives.

Pulled the drive, wiped the remaining, put back in service with minimum fuss as a single drive. I'll throw another spindle at it when drive prices drop again.

                                                                      The other array had the SSD cache die and it's been chugging along fine ever since. Not a big deal, but from a "experience" point of view it "feels slow" like a working md array.

                                                                      New SSD arrived in the mail so that'll get sorted sometime today/tomorrow.

                                                                        Witajcie, drodzy widzowie – to znaczy czytelnicy – w drugim wpisie poświęconym aplikacjom do samodzielnego hostowania. Oczywiście możemy to robić na własnym sprzęcie ulokowanym w domu czy biurze, co wiąże się z kilkoma sztuczkami, jak te usługi “wystawić” na świat (lub tylko dla wybranych użytkowników). Jednak ja obrałem prawdopodobnie prostszą ścieżkę, wynajmując VPS-a (Virtual Private Server) u naszych niemieckich sąsiadów. Wybór padł na Hetznera, bo i ceny niezłe, i działanie niczego sobie. Ty zrób tak, aby było ci wygodnie i najlepiej nie za drogo. W każdym razie mój setup mi na razie odpowiada. Przejdźmy zatem do kolejnych aplikacji, które serwuje mój YunoHost.

                                                                        SearXNG

                                                                        O tej metawyszukiwarce pisałem już jakiś czas temu, więc tym razem jedynie tytułem przypomnienia parę słów. SearXNG zbiera wyniki z publicznie dostępnych wyszukiwarek, np. Google, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, Startpage, itp. Następnie agreguje rezultaty wyszukiwania i wyświetla w bardzo czytelnej formie, bez reklam i treści sponsorowanych. Dla mnie ten ostatni argument okazał się najważniejszy i teraz domyślnie korzystam z własnej instancji SearXNG, czasami tylko posiłkując się DDG.

                                                                        LibreSpeed

                                                                        Na LibreSpeed trafiłem szukając alternatyw dla Speedtest.net. To nic innego jak miernik prędkości naszego łącza ⏱️ Dostępne są publiczne serwery, ale nic nie stoi na przeszkodzie aby uruchomić własny. Tym bardziej jeśli mamy do dyspozycji względnie szybki VPS. Dobrym pomysłem jest też ograniczenie widoczności naszej instancji LibreSpeed, aby ktoś nie nadużył naszej gościnności. Co też od razu uczyniłem. Tylko zalogowani użytkownicy YunoHost mają dostęp do tego narzędzia.

                                                                        Yourls

                                                                        A tutaj mamy małe, przyjemne narzędzie do skracania linków. Wyobrażam sobie, że nie każdy potrzebuje czegoś takiego, ale w momencie, gdy faktycznie musisz skrócić link, przydaje się niesamowicie. Powiem wam szczerze, że nigdy nie ufałem usługom takim jak Bitly. Bo o ile w danym momencie mogą stanowić szybkie rozwiązanie, to w dłuższej perspektywie nie mamy gwarancji, że nasze linki nadal będą działać. Nie wspominając nawet o tendencji do “zgównowacenia”, co mogłoby się wiązać z np. wstawianiem reklam przed pokazaniem właściwej treści. Nie wiem zresztą, czy już przypadkiem nie było podobnych sytuacji. Wracając do Yourls: aplikacja pozwala na skracanie linków we własnej (sub)domenie, zarówno w formie losowego ciągu znaków, jak i ustawionej przez nas nazwy. Very useful 👍🏻

                                                                        My Webapp

                                                                        Nie jest to może konkretna aplikacja, a raczej prosty serwer WWW dostępny z poziomu YunoHost. Za jego pomocą możesz pokazać światu swoją stronę-wizytówkę, czy jakąkolwiek stronę bazującą na HTML, CSS, JS czy PHP. To taki “placeholder” na stronę WWW. Bardzo dobrze współgra ze statycznymi stronami, które generuję sobie w Hugo. Co ważne, możesz mieć kilka instancji My Webapp, każdą na osobną stronę i domenę. Super sprawa.

                                                                        WriteFreely

                                                                        Na koniec zostawiłem sobie prawdziwą perełkę, która zasila tego bloga – WriteFreely. I tu znowu uwaga: to nie jest silnik blogowy dla każdego. Jeśli jednak cenisz sobie minimalizm (aż do bólu), pisanie w Markdown, integrację z Fediwersum i w zasadzie prosty proces publikacji treści, to tutaj poczujesz się jak w domu. Powiem wam w tajemnicy, że od zawsze chciałem mieć takiego osobistego bloga. W momencie, gdy odkryłem WriteFreely, poczułem, że nie mam już żadnej wymówki, aby nie wejść w blogowanie pełną parą. Czy mi to wychodzi, to oczywiście inna sprawa, ale nie mi oceniać własną twórczość. Niemniej dodam, że blog to dobry punkt startowy w budowaniu własnej marki i wizerunku eksperta (tutaj pozdrawiam Pana Redaktora z Tok FM; proszę wybaczyć, że nie pamiętam nazwiska). Podsumowując, WriteFreely to świetna alternatywa dla klasycznych silników typu WordPress, który przez lata niestety przytył i dorobił się wielu niepotrzebnych funkcji. Mam jeszcze jedną dobrą wiadomość: nie musisz od razu stawiać własnego serwera. Możesz założyć konto na writefreely.pl i zobaczyć, jak system działa od kuchni ✍🏻 Jeszcze raz polecam!

Gdybym się postarał, to prawdopodobnie znalazłbym jeszcze z 5 ciekawych aplikacji / usług. Jednak nie byłyby one moim pierwszym wyborem. Zależało mi na tym, abyście otrzymali prawdziwie użyteczne i solidne apki self-hosted. Pod moimi wyborami podpisuję się obiema rękami, a to chyba wystarczająca rekomendacja. To napisawszy, do tematu self-hostingu na pewno będę wracał. Jak człowiek raz spróbuje... to nie ma już odwrotu 😁

Thanks to their first-party app and @davx5app@fosstodon.org the phone is independent from the Giant tech company: contacts, calendar, to-do, photo backup, everything works automagically.

                                                                                The convenience of synchronisation between devices are the most common argument that I hear from friends why they are so invested in the respective walled gardens. But the same advantages can be obtained with old well-tested and open standards. Example: get an SMS with e-mail, add it to contacts and then have it autocomplete in @thunderbird@mastodon.online connecting to whichever mail provider your heart desires, thanks to the magic of CardDAV and IMAP. No need for Giant Mail :)

It's very similar interface, and if you need an external instance this is what @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de runs. I'd say Sourcehut is worth at least trying out to see what's possible but that's a big leap.

                                                                                    I'm running Forgejo in a container now to isolate SSH access, but I also had it installed directly for some time.

But setting up backups made me appreciate the separation between the application data in image and persistent state in mounted volumes. The final piece that convinced me is the ability to self-host my own container registry with @forgejo@floss.social

The ambition to do every adjustment through playbooks burns out really fast when working with a single instance.
