jjakc , to selfhosted in How do I use a CDN for a Lemmy instance hosted on a VPS?
@jjakc@lemthony.com avatar

Buy your domain with cloudflare, or transfer it over to them. Then just set up dns to point to you server and make sure the proxy switch is on. Pretty sure that’s all you need to do at the free tier

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

Hi, can I purchase my domain elsewhere? The other commenter mentioned something about changing nameservers, how would the process you describe be different from just changing nameservers (if I have a domain name from a different provider)?

jjakc ,
@jjakc@lemthony.com avatar

It’s basically the same. Like they said, you just follow the intructions on cloudflare to change the name servers on your registrar and then you’re good

Install wsl for windows Ubuntu default.(can install wsl in PowerShell).

Install Ansible in wsl, create ssh keys to your VPS, follow those instructions.

On my Ubuntu server I did literally nothing but the ssh key generation.

I think this is one of the more sensible answers here. If your workstation is windows, then utilize WSL for ansible and deploy onto a ubuntu or debian host (I’m assuming it works fine on debian, I used ubuntu). You might run into some issues with ansible dependencies as the readme doesn’t seem to cover everything from what i remember, but once ansible works and has the correct configs, deployment is super easy.

howdy ,
@howdy@thesimplecorner.org avatar

Yeah Ansible I had to set the path variable and did the ssh key generation. Other than that my lemmy was up and running in like 10 minutes all automated. You can go back and change the config by rebuilding the yaml. It’s not bad at all.

@cereal7802@lemmy.game-files.net avatar

I ran into some dependency issues(needed to install ansible-collection-community-docker on my fedora workstation), but after that it ran fine and installed everything first run. I made some adjustments to the inventory config afterwards, but aside from that it just worked.

yesdogishere ,

sadly, none of these is worth implementing. Remember, Windows is designed to break. MS has millions of tiny levers to flick, and they don't care if their mindless flicking fucks up your work. Worse of all, the law protects them from flicking to destroy you out of spite. Best thing to do is just use linux. Or design our own OS. Since Linux itself is slowly collapsing under the weight of MS bullshit. And god forbid that shithole IOS.

Not sure how ansible works on Windows but you could use Windows Subsystem for Linux, install ansible on that and then off you go.

fryman , to selfhosted in DIY vs pre-build NAS for home use

Understand that this is a rabbit hole where you’ll hear a million opinions. If you’re just starting out, I’d recommend keeping it simple. It’s been a while since I looked at what’s new, but I’d look at truenas scale or unraid first.

I personally use truenas core (based on freebsd) but truenas scale (based on debian) opens up more options like docker that might be useful in the future.

I recommend sticking to hardware you already own until you run into something that you can’t do. Then you’ll have a better idea of what to look for and how everything works.

Piatro OP ,

Thanks, the flexibility and closed source (I assume) of turn key solutions puts me off them. I’ve already got a raspberry pi running a few containers and I work with docker and Linux in my day job so I know a decent amount. The form factor of the turnkey solutions is the big draw for me at the moment to them as I’ve just got a spare ATX mid size tower handy. Would ideally replace with smaller case but then I’d need a smaller motherboard and that’s just raising costs for starting out. Potential upgrade path anyway.

fryman ,

I have a node 304 case with an itx board and I wish I’d have gone with something bigger with more expansion slots. Some sata ports died on me so I installed an hba card to give me more. That means I can’t add a 10g nic or a video card for hardware acceleration or…you get the idea. Ideally spend less money now and experiment, then in the future you’ll hopefully learn what suits your needs.

I think the free money train in leaving the station and everyone is scrambling to be profitable. But that’s just an assumption based on twitch and Reddit right now.

Anyone else from Reddit feeling weird seeing this exchange?

I’m from Reddit; why is this weird?

Because of how civil it is compared to reddit maybe

J23 ,

oh yeah now I get it. I think my question would have just been downvoted there…

Lee , to selfhosted in Custom Local Domains
@Lee@kbin.social avatar

If you have your own DNS server you can set a hostname there like 'jellyfin.myserver' and have that accessible from your internal network. If you want to do so on your PC you can edit your hosts file to add a custom entry. https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/how-to-edit-hosts-file

JAGeorge , to nostupidquestions in Why do people prefer cars over public transport?

The biggest reason is my local public transportation. I live near a large city in northern West Virginia. The only bus that comes close to my address runs twice a day. Once at 7am and then again at 5pm. On top of that it would be a 20 minute walk, 10 minute bike ride, or 5 minute car ride to the bus stop. If I had to I could make it work but I can’t get groceries after work because I would miss the last bus by the time I got off work and finished my shopping. This means I would have to go out on Saturday at 7am and do my shopping and then catch the bus back at 5. Add on top of that having two kids and it’s just impossible. Unfortunately a lot of the US is like this. I wouldn’t mind if I had to pay more and my local government put more effort into public transit but that seems to be low on their list of priorities.

I will say that electric bikes and self driving cars in the future may change everything for the better.

There is also 12ft.io as well as the “Bypass Paywalls” extension in Firefox

Solemn ,

12ft had a few months of being great, but I think they ended up selling out or giving in to legal pressure, and doesn’t do anything on several major news outlets anymore

laszlo ,

That's my experience, as well. It worked great for a while but I have no luck with it anymore

NSA_Server_04 , to selfhosted in Pokemon is driving me to want a Plex Server.

Would 100% go JellyFin vs Plex, also toss in some sonarr/radarr automation and organization. Everyone should have some kinda media streaming server, even if its just kept in house.

yep! new episodes will be releasing weekly on Hulu starting July 24

and here’s a trailer for the upcoming new season since im guessing you haven’t seen it x3

lol i’m excited too! i hope they’ll continue the series after the finale when the professor said they could go back to before they pushed the time button

TheRealBoner , to youshouldknow in YSK: if you think taking an ambulance to an Emergency Room because you think it'll get you seen sooner. DON'T!

Also… In the US a lot of people don’t want to call an ambulance because of the cost, BUT it doesn’t cost anything for them to show up and assess whether you need to go in an ambulance or not. So if you are in a potentially life threatening situation, you should call 911. They can show up, potentially save your life, and then have a friend transport you.

Sjy ,

It isn’t common but some places do charge for an “assessment” in the US. It’s relatively cheap compared to a transport, like $50-75 at least that’s what I know from my experience and I’ve only ever worked at one place that did that.
