selfhosted

I mean, the simplest answer is to lay a new cable, and that is definitely what I am going to do - that’s not my question....

I want to be able to keep track of certain things I (or more accurately, we as a family) need to do. E.g. paint the shed, call the people to clean the roof, pack bags for vacation, etc. It will just be shared between me and my partner. My partner is not super technical but is relatively open-minded to me wanting to do things...

I’m looking for a google calendar replacement that isn’t nextcloud, has a descent mobile app with widgets, and authentication built in. I’ve seen plenty of recommendations via search but i’d like to hear what you personally use and what you like about it.

I saw a mention of Wiki.js today and I looked at the landscape of wiki software. There’s plenty to choose from. What do you host?...

Hi all, I’m looking to upgrade my router from the default one that came from my ISP....

I have an early 2000s PC (pre-SATA) with 512MB RAM (I’d love to tell you about the CPU, but its under a cooler that isn’t going anywhere) that’s been sitting in closets for about 15 years. Assuming I’m willing to buy into it, can something like that reasonably host the following simultaneously on a 40GB boot drive:...

I have Mastodon running on a VPS running Debian 11. Now I would like to add a Lemmy instance on the same server. I tried using the from scratch method from Lemmy documentation, but ran into errors that likely stemmed from minor version incompatibilities of the dependencies. I tried using the Lemmy easy deploy script but it wants...

So I got hold of a domain that shows my exact full name. I thought it would be useful for showing up as “professional” when working in IT and sending resumes....

I have mostly enjoyed using GnuCash for desktop and GnuCash Android for years, but the Android version hasn’t been updated in a while and I noticed that it isn’t even available in the Google Play store anymore (or F-Droid, for that matter). There’s a different GnuCash Android app available, but it’s a different developer...

Hello friends!...

I want to upgrade my Pis to something more reliable and not SD-card based and refurbished thinclients/SFF workstations seem to be a viable route. Does anyone have a cheap source for used hardware like this in Germany? I feel like the usual esm-computer, green-IT etc. are a bit overpriced.

As much as I adore paperless-ngx for its UX, I hate it for its tech-stack. Idling it already uses 300 MB RAM, when changing a few metadata fields on a document it easily spikes to 700 oder 800 MB. That’s insane for the work it actually does. Is there anything more lightweight? All I need is metadata management and a gallery...

Upgrading a self-hosted server (3)...

About three weeks ago, I started my own Lemmy instance. It’s been running great, but theres something that keeps pulling me back to my account on one of the large instances....

Thought I would let you all know in case you have missed it. A few days ago Postgres support was finally merged into Sonarr dev branch (meaning 4.x version). I have already transitioned to it, so far it runs without issue...

Just wondering what tools and techniques people are using to keep on top of updates, particularly security-related updates, for their self-hosting fleet....

Something I’m missing is a system to track and manage locations and places....

Hello pals,...

Hi y’all. I’ve got an Intel Nuc 10 here. I want to run a few apps on it, like BitWarden, PiHole, NextCloud, Wireguard, and maybe more, just for my own use, inside my home....

There are many DNS names options. Which one do you use?

I was thinking it would be nice to have for backups, but maybe even going as far as mounting ~/home to be able to run from multiple machines. I’m really asking where to get started looking without crashing into marketing department nonsense and search engine steering bias.

Has anyone managed to get Lemmy running using Unraid’s docker configuration?...

After realizing that there were integrated fediverse engines, I realized that the options were pretty much limitless. What custom engines have you guys setup?

I’ve tried to figure some of this stuff out but I really don’t know what I’m doing. Most documentation is written with a vocabulary I don’t understand. Tutorials assume a high-level understanding of coding, software, CLI and a bunch of other stuff....
