Plex warns users to patch security vulnerability immediately

The company has yet to assign a CVE-ID to track the flaw and didn't provide additional details regarding the patch, only saying that it impacts Plex Media Server versions 1.41.7.x to 1.42.0.x.

Four days after releasing security updates that addressed the mysterious security bug, Plex emailed those running affected versions to update their software as soon as possible.

"We recently received a report via our bug bounty program that there was a potential security issue affecting PMS versions 1.41.7.x to 1.42.0.x. Thanks to that user, we were able to address the issue and continue to improve our security and defenses.

We strongly recommend that everyone have their PMS updated to the most recent version as soon as possible, if you have not already done so.

The new version, 1.42.1, is now available to update through the PMS management page" #plex #selfHosting

Spun up NetAlertX in Docker — it maps my LAN, resolves hostnames, and tells me when a rogue device appears.

Now to work it so it can talk over the VPN to my other lan (my better lan?)

Tandoor zeigt mir keine Bilder an 🤔

Ich hab jetzt Tandoor auf Proxmox, Runtipi, Casaos usw. installiert und in keiner Installation zeigte mir Tandoor Bilder zu den Rezepten, egal ob importierte oder von Websiteruntergeladene Rezepte.

Übersehe ich was?

Found a good fanless, completely quiet PC with a LAN, WiFi, 2 COM ports, LPT, VGA and SSD inside — all that for the price of two good meals

It has 1 Gb RAM and Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz (i686, 32-bit). So I have a question to #NetBSD folks — how well NetBSD supports 32-bit architectures?

I want to do some #selfhosting, so I need to install some things: sshd, rsyncd, lighweight HTTP server (nginx?), syncthing, ejabberd, some mail server, etc Any chances that these software still builded for i686 and exists in NetBSD repos?

Backplane of a fanless PC with a: LPT port, two 3.5 jacks, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 port, COM-port, VGA-port, two WiFi-antennas and the DC-in 12V port

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

This is what I use now, after #selfhosting Apache SVN, Perforce, Tuleap, RhodeCode, Phorge and Gitea so far.

Looking for advice on #selfhosting a personal #LLM. I agree with the most people that Big Tech AI is bad. Bad for the environment and bad for digital sovereignty. However, I am not going to agree that the tools are useless. They are in fact quite useful, when you understand their limits and how to use them.

What would be the simplest way to host my own LLM for personal use. My PC isn't ancient, but it isn't necessarily modern either. Are we at a point yet where this is even feasible for the everyday person?

What is the best option to host a #Mastodon instance with its own domain name? Max four users, most possibly only me.

Okay ....

auf den Schwächsten der drei Fujitsu Futro S920 , (Dual Core), 8GB Ram werd ich Dietpi installieren und SearxNGX, Baikal sowie Pihole betreiben.

Ich denke das stresst ihn nicht wirklich.

Bei den anderen 2 mit Quadcore und 8 GB sowie 16 GB bin ich mir noch nicht so sicher, Im Moment tendiere ich zu Runtipi.

Switching to Linux. Self-hosting. Fossifying my phone.

Leute... ich kack sooo ab. Seit 7 Stunden versuche ich vom Nginx Proxy Manager #NPM (dem Web UI) zum normalen #Nginx zu wechseln, da ich für einige Dinge mehr Einstellungsfreiheiten haben möchte.

Seit 7 Stunden...

Erst gabs riesen Probleme mit den Permissions und den SSL Zertifikaten, dann hat Nginx angefangen rumzuspinnen und Subdomains falsche SSL Zertifikate zugwiesen - weiß Gott warum.

Und als Krönung habe ich es nicht mehr geschafft Mastodon live zu bringen. Ich bin wieder da... und meine Nerven sind blank.

Manchmal frage ich mich eigentlich warum ich mir das antue. Einerseits gibt mir das unfassbare Glücksgefühle, wenn endlich etwas läuft und andererseits zieht mich das so runter, wenn es mal nicht läuft.

#Selfhosting #Server #Admin

#Mastoadmin is there a good way to find which remote accounts/domains take a ton of space with media attachments? our server's remote media cache is ballooning by 30GB *a day* and that definitely sounds wrong.
the info exists somewhere because you can see it in the admin console, but neither the admin console nor #tootctl seem to have a way to sort by attachments total size (unless i'm missing something). any advice?

Thanks to SeaweedFS, I've set up two replicas of the BSD Cafe's media. One is on a backup server (for disaster recovery purposes only, also containing the hourly zfs-autobackup backups), and the other is on a Raspberry Pi 4 running FreeBSD, which is one of my home backup servers - just one meter away from my desk.
I've also configured Nginx in a jail, so when I'm at home, the BSD Cafe's media is served directly from the local replica.
The performance is lightning fast.

Can anyone recommend a self-hosted video server? My wishlist ...

1. Open source.
2. Even minimally-functional Web upload interface so I can upload videos from my phone.
3. Private videos - just obfuscated filenames is ideal, no account required etc.

I could definitely cobble something together with a cron job, uuidgen, sftp, and Caddy configured to stream videos. But I'd rather not 🤣

Homepage is a really nice dashboard with tons of functionality. Just fiddled a little with and i'm impressed! 😎 (Screenshot attached with my current setup)

Installing Mastodon inside a FreeBSD jail: A Comprehensive Guide

Casual reminder: you are supposed to run your own mailserver

If you aren't operating your own mailserver by now, what is your excuse? Don't have the hardware? Get a VM with @OpenBSDAms. Too much effort? Nah, @mwl has you covered.

Never surrender the protocols.

Run your own mail server.

Revolt.

Rebel.

Meme How they want my mailserver to look: *Exchange logo* How my mailserver actually looks: *human arm, tattooed, holding up a piece of hardware*

This question is for anyone that manages their own servers and monitors the health of services.

What is your preferred method of receiving alerts?

#FreeBSD #Linux #SelfHosting #monitoring #OpenBSD #Cloud #BastilleBSD

Live location is very sensitive data, but #selfhosting the server with TLS and basic authentication gives me more privacy than the big tech cloud. And it only needed reading a bit of MDN and making a basic #Docker image based on #NodeJS

What #docker #containers do you guys/gals host at home? 😎

#SelfHosting #linux #docker #container

This is your casual reminder to #selfhost At least that what you are comfortable with

#selfhosting is about being independent. About owning your data. About reclaiming the 'net and decentralizing it. It is about taking control. Being able to do things the way you see fit. And it is about breaking free from subscriptions and from big tech which is #enshittifying like there is no tomorrow.

Go #selfhosted the way you see fit. In small steps, one platform at a time - or with a head first dive if you are feeling adventurous. Share your experiences, write a blog about it, create a video or post about it on the Fediverse.

It most definitely is not too late to revolt. To give big tech the middle finger. Firmly stand your ground. Be a rebel.

Has anyone had problems with running mastodon on FreeBSD in the past, especially with updating it?
Whenever I try to run “RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile” there is a node process at about 400% indefinitely. Does anyone know a solution to that?
To install it I followed @stefano's guide (https://it-notes.dragas.net/2022/11/23/installing-mastodon-on-a-freebsd-jail/)

Idea 6: hosting. Part of the goal here is decentralization, which means no company should run all of these forums. The obvious answer here is #selfhosting and #OpenSource It would be good to have a funding model built in, though. I think this system can be built in a light-weight multi-tenant way so that either people just run their own instance, or somehow commercially deploy to host at a low cost (perhaps making it easy for members to chip in). It should be easy spin up a small $5 VPS and host a few communities there for friends, family or the neighborhood.

"All Flash" is my new homelab storage (6x 4T) & I'm not sure if it'll still be #FreeBSD.

The goal? Providing storage for clients at home (NFS/CIFS) but also to servers like Proxmox by NVMeoF (TCP).

It's not a ready-to-use NAS and more a MiniPC with 6x NVMe slots and 2x 2.5Gbit and 1x 10Gbit network. So, I'm happy to make the best out of it. Unfortunately, the performance with SPDK is really worse and I'm not yet quite sure why.

Weekend over, 2 mailservers migrated from dovecot to Stalwart…
@stalwartlabs please don't break stuff 🤣
#SelfHosting #mailserver

That whole #dovecot breaking update (and from what I've seen the unreasonable pro version, at least for small setups) makes me question self-hosting my mail server…
I'm fine with investing time to setup something the first time - but updates (especially not minor) should never be breaking… - neither should they require quiet some time investment imho…

Hello Fedi friends!

Today marks a really special occasion: I’ll be speaking at #JDLL in Lyon as part of the #YunoHost presentation… discussing how I use their amazing #selfhosting tools for #DigitalSovereignty.

It’s hard to believe I had only installed it 158 days ago (according to my Mastodon archive) https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113667636910565210

Thanks to @yunohost I have been able to self-host my own #GoToSocial #Pixelfed #Friendica & #PeerTube instances. I’m incredibly grateful to them ❤️

#MySoCalledSudoLife

Glitch and Pocket shutting down. There may be something to this #SelfHosting thing.

This time it's #Debian with #Docker. I used to avoid containers, preferring to run services directly instead. 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

I'm doing the initial setup through #Ansible (learned from @notthebee@tilde.zone), but specific applications are managed via dockge. The ambition to do every adjustment through playbooks burns out really fast when working with a single instance.

This is a great post by one of the #Fosstodon admins. Disregard it being about Fosstodon (!) - it highlights something that I feel is critically important for our decentralized times:

*** When you host things _for others_ you are taking on a _job_ - with responsibilities - for the foreseeable future ***

Do not do this if you don't fully understand and accept the implications. Many of us are quite technical and can easily stand up various services - but that's not the same thing as saying that we _should_!

My first service that I hosted for others was a Fidonet node. It took me close to 30 years to realize that i shouldn't, outside of the immediate family.

We need more _small_ Mastodon (Fediverse) instances. Many more. Tens of thousands.
