In our quest to move away from GitHub, we have a working self-hosted cgit instance as well as a runner for CI.

The last missing piece is to find a way to safely expose it to the world.

Are there any good Cloudflare alternatives to protect the origin?

Tor works fine, but I would like to also be reachable from the clearnet.

📢 Hey #Homelab enthusiasts!

Just discovered that @jwildeboer has started an English-speaking homelab community at !@homelab! 🎉

Perfect complement to our German !@homelab_de - now we can share knowledge across language barriers! 🌍

If you're into self-hosting, infrastructure tinkering, or just love discussing server setups, definitely give Jan and his group a follow. More homelab communities means more shared wisdom! 🧠💡

Let's build a strong fediverse homelab network together! 🤝

#Homelab #SelfHosting #Fediverse #Community #Infrastructure

🚀 Neu: Die deutschsprachige Homelab-Community ist da!

Ich habe heute bei #fedigroupssocial die Gruppe "Homelab Deutschland" ins Leben gerufen – DER Ort für alle, die ihre Server, NAS-Systeme und Self-Hosting-Projekte auf Deutsch diskutieren möchten.

💡 Du baust gerne an deiner eigenen IT-Infrastruktur?
💡 Tauschst dich gerne über Hardware, Software und Konfigurationen aus?
💡 Suchst Hilfe bei kniffligen Admin-Problemen?

Dann verlinke einfach @homelab_de in deinen Beiträgen und werde Teil einer wachsenden Community!

Gemeinsam machen wir das deutsche Homelab-Ökosystem stärker. 💪

Erm, fellow mailserver hackers: did I miss something?

I was just told that I should use SHA256 hashes, rather than SHA512 for MTA DANE (meaning: eg 3 1 1 rather than 3 1 2).

Is this correct? I fail miserably at finding the corresponding RFCs.

#DANE #MTA #DNS #mailserver #RYOMS #selfhosting

Question for #GoToSocial folks: Is it possible to have different timeline layouts for different accounts on the same server?

I'm toying with the idea of having a predominantly text account on my GTS server with a text layout, and a second photos account with an image layout.

Is this possible?

- Unraid
- Synology NAS
- Deploy to cloud service
- Build from Source

Dear Fedi friends,

Happy Thursday from rainy northern Italy 🌧️

In case you missed it: I've spent the past two weeks doing all kinds of #selfhosting explorations, as I strive to learn #Docker to move my Ghost site there (it's recommended for Ghost v6 and going forward).

Yesterday I shared a blog post about the peaches (highs) and pits (lows) in #MySoCalledSudoLife adventures.

I'm hoping my mistakes can be useful for fellow newbies 😅

My future NetBSD server finally arrived MWA-HA-HA !

Basically, it is just a part of POS terminal, so I can say that I run my services on the cash register.

But inside of it there is a fanless PC with a little motherboard and the top board with a 6 RS232 connectors, two USB connectors and a SATA for 2.5' hard drive.

4 Gb memory, Intel Atom N2800, 64 Gb SSD and free space for (another SSD?) WiFi card, integrated TWO (!) 1 Gbit Ethernet and much more USB, RS232 and VGA + HDMI connectors.

It works completely quiet, and just a slightly warming up when Window 7 is working.

After I change the CR2032 battery and find a M3x17 brass stand for PCB (one is missing ) — I'll install #NetBSD on it and will enjoy #selfhosting , finally

If you know of more interesting use cases for XSLT, do let me know.

Also, I'll probably add a post-scriptum in the coming hours or days, but I wanted to get this out now.

@amd I've had a similar issue on mine.

As with you, incoming posts are received on my server just fine.

But outgoing posts and boosts don't federate.

Rebooting the server appears to fix the issue.

In my case, I'm using a VPS on Hostinger + YunoHost.

#GoToSocial #Selfhosting

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?

Ppl of Mastodon. Please help educate the normies about independent, small tech and self hosting. Not only fancy stuff like docker/VS etc and home servers, but cheap shared webspace online, small CMS, wikis, favourite federated or OS apps, (mine are Masto, Lemmy, Grav, Jekyll, Ghost and others). Introduce them to what is actually out here. Try not to expect total purity! They want to be free, not join a cult 😎😇

#smalltech #smolweb #selfhosting #freeweb #academia #academicchatter

Selfhosting doesn't necessarily equal single user machines. For instance, I do selfhost Mastodon and Peertube - by that I actually host for others as well.

Seen from the perspective of our members, it might be community hosting - but from my perspective it is true #selfhosting.

And no, it doesn't run from a dusty garage - nor anything worse - but from a datacenter.

Time to discuss self-hosted alternatives to GitHub!

First, has anyone simply put a bare git repo on a server somewhere, pushed via SSH, and called it a day?

https://idiomdrottning.org/hosting-git-repos

Do you really need more than a remote to push to and pull from, for your personal projects? If you've tried this, what obstacles did you encounter and what features did you miss?

#GiveUpGitHub #SelfHosting #git #SSH #BareRepos

Next, have you tried a static site generator for browsing git repos? Here's a list of SSGs for git, sorted by latest commit (fresh to stale):

* reporat https://www.ratfactor.com/repos/reporat/
* git-arr https://blitiri.com.ar/p/git-arr/
* depp https://git.8pit.net/depp/
* itsy-gitsy https://git.trevorbentley.com/itsy-gitsy/file/README.md
* pgit https://pgit.pico.sh/
* stagit https://codemadness.org/git/stagit/file/README.html
* gituwa https://git.mcksp.com/gituwa/
* repo2html https://git.m455.casa/repo2html/

#GiveUpGitHub #git #SelfHosting #SSGs #StaticWebsites #StaticSiteGenerators

To avoid self-hosting a full-fledged code forge, you might want to simply store issues in the git repo itself. Have you tried using git-bug, git-issue, or some other decentralized bug tracker?

* https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug
* https://github.com/dspinellis/git-issue

Last time I tried git-bug I failed to import my issues from GitHub and gave up, but maybe it works now, it seems there is a new & more active maintainer.

#GiveUpGitHub #git #BugTracking #issues #SelfHosting #GitBug

Finally, if you really need a full code forge, with issue tracking and everything, what is the simplest, most light-weight code forge you can self-host?

Is it Forgejo? "Lightweight: Forgejo can easily be hosted on nearly every machine. Running on a Raspberry? Small cloud instance? No problem!" https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo

That sounds great to me, but is Forgejo simple enough that I won't regret taking on the maintenance burden? Is there something even faster?

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.

So I've just migrated all of my (admittedly entirely uninteresting) #GitHub repos to my own #Forgejo installation. I have no illusions that anyone will actually care about this move, but at least it removes one of the many pebbles in my stomach.

I did not need convincing that using and relying on centralised services run by large, non-European companies is bad; that has been clear for decades. Dependency, privacy concerns, legal implications and the general issue of "being the product" are all well-known and not-so-well-aged problems.

So what's new? Well that's easy: Most - or even all - the companies and services that fall under the umbrella loosely defined above have turned into outright Trump-apologists and bona fide supporters of fascism. Oh and they steal everyones stuff and feed it to their LLMs.

I should have done this a long time ago, and even so I'm keeping my presence on GitHub simply because it's pretty much a necessity to be able to contribute to other projects. And doing that is still more important than "sticking it to the guy": The positive impact of contributing (and maintaining a low bar for me to do so) still seems too important to outright deleting me account.

I'm willing to hear arguments to the contrary, though. #SelfHosting #Independence #EU #DigitalFreedom #OnlineFreedom

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)
