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

I'm thinking of replacing my Nest #doorbell.
Wants:
Doorbell that rings (mine loses power and doesn't ring the bell)
Camera I can check on my phone
Wired, maybe PoE
Secure (not something controlled by a corp so probably #SelfHosting)

I have a couple ideas, but want to know what the #HiveMind thinks.
Edit to include self hosting.

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…

There's a growing movement on the #fedi that wants people to switch away from Big (US-based) Tech and towards #FOSS alternatives like #Linux, alternatives to #google, #Microsoft, #dropbox etc.
For #screenReader users, that might not be as simple as all that due to #accessibility reasons. This weekend's IC_Null stream aims to dig into this, but I need your help. What tools, services etc. should I look at from an #accessibility perspective? Anyone here who needs their tools evaluated? Anyone here who's curious about a particular tool or suite of tools? Let me know and I'll add it to the list. Anything goes. #selfHosting #blind #tech #EU

LA friends! 🎉
We’re hosting a Tailscale Community Meetup in Pasadena on July 8th!

Join us for snacks, stories, and some good old-fashioned tailnet talk. No VPN required.

Thanks to all our customers who run their own #selfhosting #NetBSD VMs with us for helping with this migration. Our #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD VMs were already running HVM. Yes, we #RunBSD and provide hosting in our UK datacentres (also #Windows and #Linux as required)

Puh. Finally simplified my web server setup, consolidated a bunch of letsencrypt certificates, cleaned up my repositories and forgejo-runner workflows to make updates and deploying new sites as automated as possible.

#SelfHosting

#onpremisesinfrastructure is vastly underrated. What are you going to do when #GoogleWorkspace or #Microsoft365 shut your account down because their AI decides to and you have no recourse. You can’t sue them because you’ve agreed to their terms of service. Oops? 🤷‍♂️

Also, what many don’t know is even if data is stored in the cloud, the customer is still responsible for backing up and archiving their data. The cloud company does some rudimentary disaster recovery but has specific indemnification against data loss. Marketing conveniently glosses over this. 😈

The #cloud cannot be trusted for small businesses. #Selfhosting is the way to go. It’s not hard at all and I am in the midst of writing a book for people with a minimal technical background to get started as easily as possible. Or even for them to have a technical friend help them out.

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 ❤️

So, WTF, Pocket?

Setting up a @wallabag instance has been on my mind for a while, so I guess thanks for forcing my hand?

The frequency of things like this makes me want to stop using any software I haven't written myself.

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.

✨ 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! 🚀

I self-host at home, and last night the worst happened: I woke up to notification my personal website had been down for 8 hours.

Our assigned IP had changed and my automation to automatically update the DNS in response to such events apparently failed.

And all this is fine.

Stores aren't open 24 hours a day, libraries aren't open 24 hours a day and my personal website doesn't need to be up 24 hours a day either.

Happy to have cheap hosting in exchange.

Hey, self-hosting nerds, has anyone set up a server-side thing that scans incoming email, and when it contains a calendar invite, throws it on a calendar where I can accept or decline it (à la gmail)?

In my setup, I'm guessing it would be a sieve filter in dovecot/pigeonhole that extracts calendar attachments and forwards them to my CalDAV server. But I'm open.

Good morning Fedi friends!

Today is a palpitations-inducing sort of day: my Ghost (Pro) #blog - that hosted all the posts for #TheFutureIsFederated, up to March of this year - is now slated to be deleted from Ghost's servers. Why?

I'm now #selfhosting my Ghost blog on a VPS at this address:

✨ https://news.elenarossini.com ✨

Time to update your RSS feed (if you're following the blog that way)... and I invite you to check out my latest post in its new home: https://news.elenarossini.com/this-is-what-resistance-to-the-digital-coup-looks-like/

have a nice day
