Auf meinem Schreibtisch steht eine vollständige Cloud.
Kleiner als ein Taschenbuch, leiser als der Lüfter neben dir, sparsamer als eine Glühbirne. Kein Abo, keine fremde Cloud, keine Blackbox. Sie gehört mir.

Möglich macht das eine Architektur, die erwachsen geworden ist: ARM, energieeffizient, leise. Dazu eine schlanke, quelloffene Software aus Berlin @OpenCloud@opencloud.eu , die die Daten dort lässt, wo man sie hinlegt.

Ein neuer Artikel über ARM, den aus den Fugen geratenen Speichermarkt, die Freiheit, sich selbst auszusperren, und ein Mini-Rechenzentrum, das aussehen will wie ein kleines Gebäude.

Viel Spass beim Lesen!

Something really important happened. My wife approved #iCloud to #Immich migration. She tried the mobile app and liked it much more than the iOS Photos app.
Now the only thing we need is to wait for the Immich sharing overhaul release around version 3.1 or 3.2: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/27437

#selfhosting enlighten me, how do I secure, and I mean THOROUGHLY secure, a public facing service (say forgejo/ntfy/matrix homeserver) etc properly, so that I can actually expose them to the public internet and inbound connections?

I am not yet hosting such services, mostly because I'm worried I'll badly mess up somewhere

BUT I really, really want to do it and do it well, all the kubernetes, containers, VM and orchestration talk sounds really nice!

(While we're at it, can someone teach me the difference between a homelab and a homeserver?)

Qual será a próxima? Desconfiemos de todo projeto com esse modelo híbrido "Community Edition" altamente merdificável. Tentemos focar no software livre e não nos deixemos enganar pela conversa corporativa do chamado código aberto enquanto convém.

Felizmente, o que foi desenvolvido até então está publicado sob #AGPLv3, algo que, por nos conceder as quatro liberdades essenciais para isso, garante à comunidade que qualquer parte interessada assuma a liderança do projeto para tirar o barco da deriva, digo, continuar seu desenvolvimento como derivado. Parece até que isso já começou. Contudo, como há outros projetos mais ativos com propósitos semelhantes, não há certeza de que seu desenvolvimento continuará.

A notícia já é antiga, de meses atrás, mas tomei ciência apenas hoje. A primeira vez que tive contato com esse programa e o utilizei foi muito recentemente, ao implantar meu servidor #EntePhotos, de cuja documentação MinIO faz parte como armazenamento local. Agora vai ter que ficar assim, na última versão lançada, ao menos por algum tempo. Estava cogitando usar MinIO para mais funções, mas vou deixá-lo apenas para o armazenamento de objetos locais do Ente mesmo. Já devia ter usado algum outro sistema de armazenamento com API compatível com S3. Não é interessante começar algo com um componente importante já descontinuado. Lembrete a mim mesmo: mais atenção a dependências, na próxima vez!

I've cleaned up my Raspberry Pi selfhosting setup a bit. I'm using two, each in an Argon ONE V5 case with a 1TB NVME drive, running Raspberry Pi OS.

'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.

My homelab now contains around 17 services that I host for myself and family - not counting reverse proxies and similar helpers that exist solely to ‘support the operation’.

A couple of people have asked me what I actually self host, so here is a list as of today:

If you self-host something I’ve not mentioned here and think I’m missing out, I’d love to hear about it - especially anything that’s replaced a paid service you were glad to see the back of.

That’s frightening because #Garage will switch into a read-only mode in that case and brake #GlitchySocial #Mastodon instance.

New on the blog: Hosting DokuWiki on FreeBSD with Bastille, nginx, and Caddy.

A deliberately small, database-free wiki: one application jail, central Caddy ingress, PHP-FPM over a Unix socket, and explicit nginx rules protecting DokuWiki’s private data.

The interesting part isn’t getting a page to render. It’s drawing clean security and backup boundaries.

Heyo Fedi friends!
Does anyone of you know a good self-hostable alternative to something like mailgun?

Boosts are greatly appreciated!

Curious what kind of luck people have had running a single-user, self-hosted @gotosocial instance instead of joining a larger shared node.

With relays in GotoSocial, my feed is great—I can discover pretty much everything I care about. My bigger question is the *other* direction. I've heard some instances de-prioritize or outright limit federation from low-volume, self-hosted, or otherwise unknown nodes.

If you're mostly consuming content, I imagine it's a non-issue. But if you actually want to participate in conversations, are you giving up reliable interaction by running your own tiny instance?

Curious to hear real-world experiences. #Mastodon #Fediverse #SelfHosting #GoToSocial

Hey all, if you're reading this, you have not been moved to my new account: @zef@social.zef.pub — please follow this account manually.

I attempted a proper move a week or two ago, but this wasn't 100% successful, so please manually follow @zef@social.zef.pub instead.

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

> No more RSS :: Syntax at Amima

https://michal.sapka.pl/2026/no-more-rss/

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 And there were total mess in the Asterisk security.log (see screenshot) — some dumb (as it programmers ) LLM-bots were constantly trying to connect to my Asterisk server with HTTP protocol, evaluating it as a web-server, I dunno

And the Asterisk logs became enormously big — while newsyslogd wasn't invoked — they eat at near 4 GB . 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.

Huh, looks like the new ASes, with LLM-bots attacking servers, just dropped

TLDR: there are AS12876 and AS16276 — both located in France (Scaleway SAS and OVH SAS). My Asterisk self-hosted box was attacked from the next IPs: 62.4.15.81 and 51.222.38.229.

Today, after I was checked my e-mail, I found three warnings from Monit about fail2ban exhausting limits in my small server in the kitchen (Intel Atom N2800 1866 MHz and 4 Gb of RAM). First e-mail warns about fail2ban ate 200 MB of RAM, next about 500 MB of RAM and the last e-mail warns me that fail2ban ate 2 GB of RAM

I've been running two degraded ZFS arrays for the last few weeks (Debian host).

Yeah, I know. Whatevs.

One of the pools was basically "scratch" backup space and one of the spindles died (breaking the utility of the mirror). 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.

So, what's this post about?

Linux peeps, if you are thinking about md arrays, just stop, take the time, and throw 'yer leg over the zfs horse. It's worth it.

#SelfHosting tools I rely on and am very happy with (and I'll probably put on repeat to remind people):

• Pangolin: I have a tiny Hetzner VPS with it that fronts all my #SelfHosted in-house services so I can access them remotely
• Beszel: Monitoring of my servers, simple, shows me exactly the stats that I'm interested in

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 :)

My ISP was kind enough to give me a learning opportunity in how I can manage access to my homelab. While access to #selfhosting can't be in my place by definition, I can at least have it on a VPS from a local company to resist monopolies :)

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.

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

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.
