selfhosted

Hey all. Ive been hosting some software for a while now, some private, some public stuff....

Hello fellow self-hosters. Is it possible to use NGINX as a proxy for an IMAP service where the IMAP server is located on a different host? I have a cloud VPS running NGINX which is connected to my home network via a WireGuard tunnel. What I would like to do is run the IMAP server (Dovecot) in my own network and have NGINX proxy...

So, this is a rather odd request of a backup solution, but it’s kinda what I want right now....

I’ve recently been trying to degoogle myself, and in doing so I’m going to need another email. I tried ProtonMail, but apparently only business accounts can use SMTP, even though their features claim SMTP access. I’m plenty fine paying for the service, but going from the $6/month to $12/month just to get notification...

I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

Hey,...

Hello...

Does anyone know if it is possible to take a Roku box, wipe it and install something else on it? I was thinking LibreElec, something else Kodi-ish or even just stock android.

For my first goal, I want to get around my ISP’s CGNAT so I can access my NAS outside my network. Tailscale doesn’t work. Attempting to access my NAS always goes through their relays. From what I’ve gathered, a VPS is a good way to get around this so I got the basic $1/mo Racknerd KVM VPS. I’d like a performant way to...

Kind of a quick off the cuff question… but is it difficult to get a docker hosted jellyfin server accessible outside of lan safely?...

I currently have my Plex server open to the world. I realise that’s probably not best practice, so I’m trying to find a solution that can work for me....

Is there an app I can self-host that will let users upload stuff to my server? I need something where I can send a link to someone, and they can upload files & folders to my server (it doesn’t matter much to me where, as long as I can transfer them out to wherever I need later)....

Let’s be honest for a minute. Who hasn’t fallen victim to the seductive call of a bag of chips or a chocolate bar? Yes, I’ll confess it—especially during those grueling late-night study sessions, I’ve also been there....

I have a fairly old router that doesn’t support gigabit. I also have a network switch that does support gigabit. If I connect two devices directly to the switch, then connect the switch up to the router, will the connection between the two devices support gigabit? If I’m understanding correctly the router would just act as...

So again, the Lemmy verse is still really confusing and finding the right communities for the right post. This sub seems like they would definitely know about this though...

I’ve got a lot of services, some in docker, some in LXC or a VM in proxmox. Currently I’ve got no monitoring service. Recently a service went down and I didn’t notice for quite a while so now I’ve got a bunch of missing data. What monitoring tools do you all use? Looking for something that works with docker and plain...

I’ve been creating separate accounts for some of my selfhosted services, some are to further sub-divide the data, but for sure I always have an admin account and the account I use day to day....

As I’m prepping my self-hosted setup I wanted to know the community’s thoughts on Netbird, the FOSS and completely self hosted alternative to Tailscale. I often hear Tailscale used as a super easy plug and play way to share your home server contents with other people, so how does Netbird fair in comparison? Is it as easy? Is...

I’m migrating my server to a new server and wanna try something new. I’ve been using nginx to reverse proxy my stuff and I recently heard about traefik being able to read labels off docker containers. I’ve been googling around but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get the access to the dashboard without having...

I want to host my website in my raspberry pi, I’ve read that I would need a web server software for this. Which one do you recommend? It won’t be a complex website.

I want to allow certain trusted users the ability to take down my lemmy instance or reboot it or x, y, z actions in case things go wrong or there is a security incident....

Something small and 2 or 4 GB RAM. Raspberry pi’s compute power is good enough for me, I’m not doing anything too intensive....

I’ve been running my most recent Server built for quite some time now. I think Uptime was somewhere around 5 Months. Absolutely flawless. A few Days ago i started to have issues. Hard-Locks, Freezing…but absolutely zero log entries. Nothing. The Server was built with “off the shelf” Hardware and no ECC (even though the...

So I finally finished gathering the hardware for my first real homelab. I currently have a pi that I run nginx, searxng, and pihole, but I’m looking to move to something more hefty. I’ll probably leave pihole and nginx on the pi. I’m wanting to set up plex to host things for home use as well as a way to store photos,...
