Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

I had a similar problem with Lemmy, UT's not optimized for small instances.

I went with PieFed und am very happy with it.

What's UT? Was about to run Lemmy myself

Auto correct changed "it's" to UT's.

You need kind of a beefy server which is not worth it for one or two people. That is why I installed PieFed instead which does the same but plays nicer on a small VPS with fewer resources.

Weird, I've heard exactly the opposite, some people are running Lemmy on a dual core. Just get a drive big enough if you plan to follow many communities. Guess I'll try anyways
