🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 139 (filmmaker edition) 🎬
Good morning Fedi friends!
I've been quiet over here for a good reason: I'm currently laser-focused on producing a first promo video about the Fediverse. I'm working with two talented interns and today we start filming! More on this here: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/114454286121971517
Any free time I have I spend working on a 10 minute presentation about my self-hosting journey, that I will deliver later this month at a FOSS conference. I was invited by the amazing #YunoHost team to speak along with other inspiring folks about using YunoHost to self-host.
All this to say: it's a very very busy month and I may not have much to say about self-hosting per se. But! I just did my Monday morning ritual AKA backing up my YunoHost setup.
Wishing everyone a great week!
I have also been looking for a blogging platform to host some stories about my selfhosting adventures
I'm currently looking into Ghost CMS as I used it in the past, but I am open to new outlooks
My requirements are:
- Must be opensource
- Loads of statistics (I'm a data nerd after-all)
- Lightweight'ish
- Simple design
- No Wordpress
Bonus if I can sync posts with a git repo (one way or another)
Hey #SelfHosting / #selfhosted / #selfhost / #selfhostedapps
Any suggestions for streaming audio with features similar to Jellyfin, but not Jellyfin?
And not Plex either.
Looking for alternatives here, not questions as to why I don't want to use Jellyfin, and I definitely do not want help setting up Jellyfin.
PSA for people with #Wordpress blogs: do you know that you can turn off comments on old posts?
In the last few months I have noticed a significant uptick in spammy comments on my Wordpress blogs (I have 4).
Well there is a way to remedy all that: you can simply turn off comments on old blog posts by going to:
Settings -> Discussion -> and checking "Automatically close comments on old posts"
(You can even determine the "oldness" of posts, for example, older than 7 days, 14 days... anything you'd like)
Enabling this made all the difference for me. I could not recommend it more.
End of my PSA 🤗
Have a great day everyone!
✨ The rebellion will be federated & self-hosted ✨
On Dec 5, 2024 I published this blog post https://elenarossini.com/2024/11/the-rebellion-will-be-federated/ on @ele@elenarossini.com
On Dec 17 I signed up for a #VPS.
On Dec 22 I installed #GoToSocial and began personalizing my little corner of the #Fediverse: @elena
On Jan 14 I installed #Pixelfed on my server: @ele@photos.elenarossini.com
Yesterday I installed #LinkStack on https://elena.social
All this feels really empowering and I wanna help others do the same! 🚀
Oh well, after some research, I might have to create subdomains for other #ActivityPub if I want to avoid conflicts with #Mastodon
I am thinking about #Lemmy and #Pixelfed, and maybe ever so perhaps #Manyfold in the future
I will probably keep Mastodon under the same domain for now, and eventually move it to its subdomain when I feel like the time has come
I am still checking to have two different instances on the same domain tho', for science
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.
Beleza, decidi ter meu próprio servidor, mas vou hospedar onde? Se vc ainda não quer aventura de hospedar em casa, pode sempre contratar uma VPS 👩💻 Ahhh, mas é caro! Então a dica é pesquisar por VPS por até 2 dólares, aí vão aparecer várias opções mais acessíveis. Claro que são mais simples, porém mais que o suficiente para começar 
Pesquisei um teco e estou a meses no VPS Hosting Service [1], tem sido bem bão. Tem todo o necessário, usabilidade de boas e o suporte é útil. Comecei pagando 1,4 doletas por mês. Quando precisei subir para 2 doláres (uau), para instalar o @homeassistant com mais conforto, ainda teve desconto nas outras categorias. Recomendo muito 
Vc pode achar o cupom de desconto dele no link abaixo (está estranhamente com o nome Server Host) e outras opções também.
https://lowendbox.com/blog/1-vps-1-usd-vps-per-month/
Alguns descontos de lá [1]
Linux VPS SSD 1GB e 3GB - 2LEB (1.4 e 2 doletas)
Linux VPS SSD 6GB - _LEB7OFF_ (4 doletas)
Espero que esse texto seja útil e gostem do seu servidorzinho maravilhoso

Mayday! #YunoHost needs your support!
YunoHost is free, but we do have expenses. According to our projections, our budget will be half covered by the end of the year.
Your generosity is already enabling us to maintain the project, but we'd like to do better: https://yunohost.org/donate.html
Whether it's giving your time, making a donation or spreading kind words, your contributions are always greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Anyone seen or using any interesting self-hosted / homelab search solutions?
I'm looking for something that can index:
* Repository contents from Forgejo
* Files in Syncthing
* Pages and tags from Silver Bullet
* Bookmarks from Readeck
From some initial poking around I can't see much chatter about this kind of problem - any pointers would be great 🙏
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.

ICYMI: last week I installed and began tweaking my own #PeerTube instance – thanks to the ease and awesomeness of #YunoHost: @ele
https://videos.elenarossini.com/a/ele/video-channels
Now, the BEST resource there is for anyone who wants to self-host their own PeerTube is this video by @paige on @fedihost : https://video.fedihost.co/w/63AETQCcEMigzTHTmTu2Wn?start=0s
I wish I had watched it on day 1 (instead of day 3 of my journey), as it would have saved me A LOT of headaches.
The ENTIRE FediHost PeerTube channel is full of gems and I would highly recommend subscribing to it.
And now off I go print out the latest version of the script of my Fediverse video... my interns arrive in a few hours for our first production meeting. Exciteeeed
Used tar on data folder — as recommended to preserve hardlinks —. Wormhole'd the data to my #proxmox host, untar'ed and started it again.
All I had to do was setup autossh tunnel so that port 8001 in my LXC container pointed to some other port on the existing nginx frontend about 8000km away in Beauharnois 🇨🇦. It seems suprisingly reliable so far.
Alt...
iTerm shows on the top left the OVH 2-core cheap instance as front end (canada), three other panes show logs, htop and bmon on container runing snac
🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 126 (good luck charm edition) 🍀
Good morning Fedi friends!
Yesterday I flew back to Paris and I’m spending the week at my in-laws' with my extended family… my little one still has one more week of school holidays. Working is a little difficult with so many people around (especially children) but I have a lofty goal for today: upgrading my VPS and installing #PeerTube.
The 22nd of the month has been my good luck charm in my self-hosting adventures. I installed #GoToSocial (this account) via #YunoHost on December 22nd, 2024. I successfully installed #Ghost on my Ubuntu VPS with command lines on February 22, 2025. Because of that, I will be saving 30€/month…
So in the spirit of #FOSS exploration, I find it fitting to upgrade my VPS today on April 22… and - my oh my! - install PeerTube via YunoHost… so that I can self-host my upcoming videos about the Fediverse.
The children are playing in the garden and I have about 30 minutes to do all that. Wish me luck!
