selfhosted

edit: thank you for all the great comments! It’s going to take a while to chew through the suggestions. I just started testing picoshare which is already looking both easy and useful....

I have a number of services I’d like to host, and an old laptop with some of them set up and working on my network....

Hi, so I launched my very own instance. I’m posting from here, and hopefully this post makes it there. I subscribed to a few coms, but I’m getting outdated posts and the votes don’t line up, also the comments do not all load. So I’m able to federate, but for some reason only some of the data is coming over to my...

Hi! I used to run Plex and forward a port through my vpn so I could access the service outside my network, like on vacation. This meant I could keep my vpn on and still access my content. I use Cloudflared to access other services in this way....

But Intel partner are able to continue to build intel nucs.

I recently switched from TrueNAS to Synology for my NAS. TrueNAS had served me well, but I no longer had the time to manage it effectively....

My brother and I would like to have some sort of storage space in each others’ systems as an offsite backup thing. Ideally, I’d be able to allocate him 2GB of space that he can drop files in (e.g. a Veracrypt container, perhaps a keepass database, not media files). I don’t want him to be able to access anything else on my...

The 6 nines mean that an ideal service should have 99,9999% uptime, right?...

I currently have a jellyfin server on a rpi4 running raspbian (I think). I’m planning to migrate that to a Dell Wyse mini pc before I go on a month long trip. I would like to be able to ssh into it from outside my home and add movies and stuff. I have already setup ddns for the jellyfin server, so I only need for a way to add...

Not something that would have to be on all the time, but more something that can be off overnight. This question feels like it has an obvious yes/no answer that I’m missing....

What I currently have...

Like does content get mirrored to my instance and then mine distributes it ala BitTorrent or is my instance it’s own thing?

I couldn’t find a “Home Networking” community, so this seemed like the best place to post :)...

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....

Hi all!...

I’ve always been conservative about what kind of services I host because it takes time to get them set up. For example, there’s no reason for me to set up music streaming when I only ever listen to music on my phone and all my music files are already on my phone. On the other hand, it’s a good learning opportunity to set...

Anyone with experience using NixOS to create a Lemmy instance, please share any caveats and troubleshooting tips you have.

Hello all,...

Apologies if this post ain’t right for this community! I’m admittedly not interested in self-hosting myself, but I’ve a close buddy who’s wanting to get back to streaming, but rightfully hates Amazon. He’s wanting to self-host with Owncast to do video streaming with his pals, but lives in a very small flat with very...

Hi! Could someone tell me if the current (real OS) UmbrelOS supports multiple internal drives?

Hello! I have a problem: sometimes I instinctively refer to a movie by the English name (for example, Star Wars), but if I search for it in jellyfin it is not found, as the italian translated name is “Guerre Stellari”. I’d like to be able to search for it with both the original name and the translated name. The original...

Hi! I’m starting out with self-hosting. I was setting up Grafana for system monitoring of my mini-PC. However, I ran into issue of keeping credentials secure in my Docker Compose file. I ended up using Docker Swarm since it was the path of least resistance. I’ve managed to set up Grafana/Prometheus/Node stack and it’s...

Hi,...

Figured I would hopefully save others from the annoyances I’ve had with their service. I experienced daily high packet loss to both my VPS and their website, including the control panel (greater than 50%, typically). The control panel was broken and couldn’t tell me the status of my VPS. When I asked for a root cause and fix...

I’m involved with an org that needs to set up a public wishlist for supplies for a project. The rough requirements are as follows:...
