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

Thank you, @deferred@ieji.de - it will be more than useful to me!
Good morning Fedi friends!
In case you missed it, on Monday I was able to successfully send a newsletter from my self-hosted, manually installed #Ghost blog. So it appears to be fully working now.

I don't have any new #selfhosting anecdotes to share. I thought I would be able to relax for a bit and enjoy this milestone. I spent the day yesterday writing a blog post for #TheFutureIsFederated on the topic of resistance to the digital coup.
In the meantime, my 4-year-old spotted some vintage #LEGO panels in the attic. I identified them as belonging to LEGO's King Castle and she demanded I "BUILD IT RIGHT NOW." I'm not even sure I have all the pieces required... I remember that a couple of years ago I found stacks of old LEGO boxes and organized pieces by color in transparent drawers. I found an old manual online for the castle set and so far so good (sort of). I made it to step 10 out of 43. The real test will be building the retractable bridge.
All this to say: no more self-hosting adventures for me this week, I'll be tackling a complex LEGO project (and I can't use code to get out of hurdles...)

Let's see how this setup pans out: https://schmonz.com/2025/04/15/sensible-basic-minecraft-hosting/
How am I only learning about mini_httpd now? Obviously not the most ideal for multi-site hosting, but still very cool!
Hello my name is Elena and I'm addicted to #selfhosting.
2 MINUTES after receiving confirmation that my self-hosted Ghost blog is finally working perfectly (newsletter sending included) - something that took 84 DAYS of trial and error and troubleshooting - I've started thinking: "what now?"
Could I be... bored?
Yes.
In a way having a running list of problems to fix was keeping me distracted (by the world at large) and somewhat entertained.
Thank goodness I have another big self-hosting project coming up: #PeerTube.
But maybe I should enjoy this BIG accomplishment for like 5 minutes... or a couple of weeks. No point in installing PeerTube while my 4-year-old has just started a 14 day school holiday. My parents are a huge help but I am basically getting interrupted every 10 minutes... so I can't really dive into something complex 😆
A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who helped me with Ghost - I owe you big time!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Since #BBCSounds is going to be geo-blocked outside the #UK pretty soon, I might be in the market for an affordable VPS in the UK, preferably from a small independent provider so it won't trigger their VPN detection. Open to suggestions! Boosts welcome. #selfhosting
Good morning Fedi friends!
I'm finally ready to test if my new self-hosted Ghost blog can withstand the infamous "Mastodon hug of death".
Here's a quick blog post about what I've been up to: https://news.elenarossini.com/what-im-up-to-march-april-2025-edition/
(Apparently Mailgun thinks I'm a spammer, so I couldn't send it as a newsletter - that's a whole other story).
Wishing you all a lovely day + weekend 🌸
🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 105 (
edition) 💫
Good morning Fedi friends!
I just spent 3 hours tweaking Ghost caching configurations in Terminal. It was a lot of A/B testing, with JSON error messages. I asked for advice on Mastodon, sharing a screenshot of the buggy code and got a solution within ONE minute. I'm just so grateful! 🥰
Now I have "JSON Parser" in my bookmarks bar. What have I become, LOL? Honestly, I'm having so much fun learning all this.
Anyway, I was successfully able to change the caching maxAge from 0 to... 600. I'm hoping that when I share a link to my new self-hosted blog on Mastodon, the whole VPS won't go down within seconds (as it happened multiple times over the past week).
So, trying out a little experiment here because on GoToSocial I have fewer followers. Here is my self-hosted Ghost blog, my pride and joy (and source of occasional headaches). Let me know if it works for you:
Wishing you all a lovely day!
