selfhosted

I have been trying to understand how the caching of content from other Lemmy instances works. From what I have gathered, the local Lemmy instance will automatically download and store posts made to any communities that are followed by users on the local instance....

Hello!...

i have just seen that gfycat is shutting down. i love sticking in a GIF, but would love a way to keep and categorise my gifs, and be able to embed/copy them into my banter....

Does anyone have recommendations for centralized backup servers that use the server/client model?...

I’ve been in Lemmy for a month and I’m quite enjoy using the service....

Looking to maybe self host my own instance, I’m still learning about the fediverse. If a different instance that I federate with hosts something illegal are there risks to me? Is anything from other instances hosted on my server like a copy of it? Or would I only end up hosting things my users post? I’m paranoid and sorry if...

I want to selfhost a messaging service for my family. It should be secure and have voice calling option, ideally. Thank you.

Hello!...

Hi everyone,...

Over the next week or so I’m sure a lot of people are going to try spinning up Lemmy instances - I’ve certainly been looking at it....

I have a spare laptop running Linux Mint. I would like to try running my own instance and sharing it with a few users to help out and for the experience. Below are the specs. Do you think it will be powerful enough, and if so, how many users would it be able to handle? I could restrict uploading of media if that would make a...

Basically the title. Using the android app to sync. The photos on my phone have GPS data, but it’s not read by immich. I’ve tried rerunning the metadata job, but that hasnt worked. Am I doing something wrong?

I’m trying to get networkd to connect to a wireguard endpoint, specifically ProtonVPN, in case it matters. I just can’t get it to connect. Has anyone had success with that? Specifically without using wg-quick.

Maybe using Syncthing or MPD? I’m searching something to keep/share my votes or even maybe listen counts for desktop and mobile. Also it would be nice to create a backup for these data.

Hey all,...

I wonder if there is a nptocable difference between a HDD and SSD. Did someone already test it? I run it off a good SSD but wonder if a HDD would be enough.

What would you recommend?

Technically this isn’t actually a seafile issue, however the upload client really should have the ability to run checksums to compare the original file to the file that is being synced to the server (or other device)....

It’s been a little bit, but I’m back! As usual, not my blog, just a good community share. Authors are on Mastodon at @selfhst

Tried some times to get a home server up and running but never followed it through, last week got some time, grabbed my new rasberry pi 5 8GB (it’s a f*cking beast) and came up with this setup....

I think i have a stupid question but i couldn’t find answer to it so far :( When i want to reach a service that i host on my own server at home from the local network at home, is using a public domain effective way to do it or should i always use server’s IP when configuring something inside LAN? Is my traffic routed through...
