selfhost

A while ago I made an app for tracking baby activities because I became a parent and was horrified at how many permissions the existing apps required and how much tracking they contained. Both the app and the server are open source....

Hey All,...

So I’m on the lookout for something, but I don’t know how to briefly describe it. I want something to help me document various projects at work. It’s not uncommon for me to spend a week setting something up, and it works for 2 years and then has a problem – and I have to re-learn everything about it from the ground up...

My dad also used to self-host. Now I run all of the services he used to, and more....

What the title says. Are there any good ChatGPT alts that can be self hosted?

Hi,...

I’m reaching you all asking for advice. Given the recent news about some social networks attempting to rule my/our content I want all of it to be free forever. To avoid vendor lockout I’ve decided to host all my tweets and Reddit posts in my own site. Probably will delete original posts too, but not thought about it much yet...

I know cloudlfare and other cloud providers often provide geoblocking features if you host with them....

Is it possible/practical to host multiple websites from the same VPS server?...

Hi! I’m still learning a lot. I have a raspberry pie (on raspian) with pi-hole, pivpn and outbound as a dns resolver. The next step will be for me to set up nextcloud. But I’m reading a lot on docker and containers these days and want to deploy docker now. Should I start again from the begining setting up docker and after...

Just thought I’d share this since it’s working for me at my home instance of federate.cc, even though it’s not documented in the Lemmy hosting guide....

I have a pi zero laying around and I have no use for it as of now. I was wondering if I could host a matrix server on it, I worry it might just not be powerful enough as the title would imply.

Just got my own instance up and running finally, but it doesn’t seem to be federating as expected....

I reaserached for hours but it looks like since they added typesense the 32-bit armv7 is no longer supporterd with docker....

Hi, I realise that this might not be a question for this community; that said, this community is fairly big so I’m sure plenty of people here are already doing this....

I can’t help but feel overwhelmed by the sheer complexity of self-hosting modern web applications (if you look under the surface!)...

Hi, I have an old ThinkPad that’s running Arch for some self-hosted things, but I want to repurpose it to be dedicated to NextCloud with file sync and some apps (mainly Photos). Setting it up from scratch with Arch packages looks like way too much work. Should I use the Docker image on the existing OS, or a different package...

I have a domain and I use a hosted email I use a catchall email address to create an address on the fly for webshops and such. If they get conprimised or spam me I can block that email....

Consider a wireguard network of many clients which all interact with each other through a central hub server on a cloud VPS. One of the clients is a desktop used for SSHing into the other various clients–again, through the central hub. If the “terminal” client connects to another client through the wireguard hub using SSH...

To those self-hosters who are out there curious if there exists a faster Nextcloud-like alternative without all the bells and whistles. I present to you, OCIS! This howto assumes that you’re running a Linux OS and that you have a reverse proxy like caddy running. To the guy who I suggested checking out OCIS, I wrote this guide...

Hi guys! I have several docker containers running on my home server set up with separated compose files for each of them, including a Pihole one that serves as my home DNS. I created a network for it and a fixed IP but I couldn’t find a way to set fixed IPs to the other containers that use the Pihole network. Well everything...

A common Google “hack” to get actual results it to add “site:reddit.com” after a search term–Lemmy, however is spread across a ton of instances. I was wondering whether there’s a selfhosted search engine that is able to index lemmy posts from a certain number of instances (set manually) and that can be used to search...

I now have access to a 3D printer and a bit of time. I’d like to skip this dance of smart doorbells kinda working , kinda not with home assistant. Any DIY doorbell projects out there the community can recommend?

Hey everyone! I run a server with Podman instead of Docker (and on an arm64 processor), so when I wanted to host a Lemmy instance on it, I faced a bit of challenges. I ended up writing this guide so if anyone else is in the same pickle, this should make installing Lemmy closer to headache-free....
