selfhost

So, I’m trying to set up a self-hosted mastodon instance, and of course this requires an email service. Self hosting one is not an option, because of anti-spam stuff, or so everyone says. The recommendations are to use services like mailgun or postmark, but there’s one thing I don’t really understand:...

Good morning y’all, so I have a server pc that I’ve been slowly adding bits and pieces to for about a year now. It started off as a barebones board with a nvme on it, and has slowly developed into a Plex box and game server host box....

Looking to build my first server out, trying to figure out if there is a “better” platform for my needs. Right now I’m just planning a mix of machines and containers in Proxmox for running a NAS and Plex server, router of some sort (also, any preferences on wireless access points?), a pihole if that’s not just as easily...

My new overnight job unfortunately comes with a mandatory 1-hour lunch break (sitting destroys my back, and I’d also rather be earning money if I have to be there anyway), so I end up looking at random shit on my phone. I forget where I saw it, but I recently got reminded of those apps that let you completely catalog your...

Hey selfhosters,...

I’m kind of tired of Nextcloud because it’s using so many resources on my server and I’m only using it for calendar and address book for two users. So I’m looking for alternatives, what do you use (only self hosted) and how do you like it?

I found out about Clarity, it’s a Microsoft free product. It seems to be source available on Github...

Question is in the title, I am a fan of a channel and would like to automatically connect to the swarm and support the broadcast even if I am not watching live. I seem to remember a project that ran in docker and kind of acted like a cdn node for a channel, but I can’t find it now. Anyone know of such a solution?

Some background:...

Hello selfhosters....

Does anyone know of a service (ideally docker image - probably with app) that can be used to securely share family pictures?...

So, I have a Home Assistant VM that I need to bridge to my LAN, it’s network interface “vnet1” is a member of bridge0, I tried adding eno1 (Host NIC) to bridge0 but I lose LAN access to my server. How should I do it ?

I am currently hosting Nextcloud on Linode using the AIO Docker container. I am very happy with how this works, but the running costs is more than I would like to spend on this. I am running a 4 GB Linode (anything less would cause severe lag in the Web UI), with 2x100GB block storage (one for data and one for the Borg backup)....

I have a Wordpress site and recently ran into the problem of having too many images for my hosting services. But my job involves photography, so I was wondering where a good starting point would be to set up a physical server in my home to host all my photos for my website on Wordpress. Is that possible? I don’t know where to...

I’ve been a part of the google ecosystem for almost two decades now. I was originally given free access to their original gmail hosted domain way way back (in 03-05?) and I’ve been there ever since, watching it grow into the god awful thing it is today. Workspace is absolutely terrible for personal use, and has been for a...

I’ve got searxng running nicely, I can successfully set it as my default search (firefox) via clicking the URL bar and adding it to my search list....

Hi,...

Hi, guys. Like in the title. I have orangepi5 with some services like nextcloud or grafana. I would like to access to those instances from outside - but I don’t want to open ports....

First time self-hoster here. I recently bought Dell optiplex 5060 Micro on ebay (6 Core i5-8500T 2.1-3.5GHz 16GB DDR4 512GB M.2 SSD). I’ve been finding the computer to be quite slow when compared to my old laptop (it has similar specs to the optiplex actually. I’ve run the CrystalDiskMark (picture attached below) and...

I may have the options between two Mikrotik l009 routers or a single rb5009. Which route should I go?

Just bought Cyberpower OR700 1U UPS (20lbs). Will I need rack mount rails to support the back or will the cage nuts at the front be enough to support the UPS?
