I had some fun with #FreeBSD, #Bhyve and #Rocky #Linux. Not just for fun, also for science and profit!

What cloud infra providers do you use to host your NextCloud on?
I'm looking fore something affordable and suitable for India
Random #SelfHosting tip for any who might be interested:
If you use #GetSSL to get your #LetsEncrypt certs, you'll get four files:
* The key (example.com.key)
* The domain cert (example.com.crt)
* The CA cert (chain.crt)
* The "full chain" cert (fullchain.crt)
Make sure to use the full chain cert, *not* the domain cert, when setting up your server. Otherwise some services will give you "unknown authority" errors.
Those of you who have your own home media servers, do you back up your media? If so, how?
These servers (3 compute nodes on top, 4 storage nodes on bottom) comprise the Subjam platform. These are servers that we bought, configured and racked ourselves in a data center we have physical access to.
We're proud of our DIY ethic and it motivates us to build Subjam strong.
(P.S. If you believe in what we're doing, become part of our success by clicking "Funding" on the main menu)
So... I just discovered that my home ISP doesn't block port 443 as I had assumed they did. This opens up a lot of #selfhosting opportunities I hadn't considered before...
I'm thinking about stop #selfhosting services as it's to much trouble (and sometimes time consuming) just for myself, as nobody I know are interested in them.
So far I have found replacement for some, but I'm having trouble finding a #git forge. I would use #codeberg but I have high latency to Europe based data centers /:
I would appreciate some recommendations, the closer to Latin America the better. I'm also willing to support/help the instance if I can.
This Week in Self-Hosted (4 April 2025)
#AprilShowers bring new projects, software updates and launches, a spotlight on #BookLore -- an ebook management and reading platform, and more in this week's #selfhosted recap!
#UnplugTrump, daher Signal in der Amazon Cloud von Jeff B., einem DJT-#Broligarchen? Vom Regen in die Traufe!
Threema ist dbzgl. besser, zumal es Users nicht zwingt, ihre Telefonnummer rauszurücken.
Aber #digitaleSouveränität bietet der Silo nicht, da man sich den Server nicht aussuchen kann, z.B. in der #EU oder #selfHosting.
Zum Glück gibt es seit 1999 einen Internet-Chat-#Standard, der freie Föderation erlaubt wie Email oder das #Fediverse.
I see a lot of books/tutorials about mysql. Can I use those to understand mariadb? It seems that I can, it also seems that mariadb is preferred to mysql.
If anyone has any good sources to learn more about databases, I would love to hear them. I am just getting started with them.
I'll mainly be using it to hold text and numbers.
What do you do folks with old/small SD cards?
I found out I've been accumulating a bunch of 2/4/8 GB cards, which are not really much useful these days. Trying to figure out if they're still useful, or if I should just trash them.
(Note: I do have a bunch of USB flash drives as well, so using adapters to make use of them as such doesn't help).
So, I am stuck trying to apply the current #Mastodon update. Note that there may be many good reasons why, chief among them, that I am self-taught and very much in the "trying stuff out half-blindly while learning"-stage. Thankfully, nothing broke irreversably just yet.
If anyone here feels like helping a noob out, or just loves a conundrum, details can be found here:
I was initially rather hesitant at the prospect of #selfhosting my email, but I’m massively impressed by @stalwartlabs, which has made the whole process straightforward.
I’ve just enabled encryption at rest, which uses my PGP/SMIME public key to encrypt all my messages upon receipt. With my private key installed on my clients, the whole thing is seamless.
If you’re looking for a modern and powerful JMAP/IMAP/SMTP server that’s easy to deploy, I can’t recommend @stalwartlabs enough.

Remember the 1-year anniversary jump & run game?
I have just decided to make it a standalone mini-game with more features: more enemies, items and highscore.
Stay tuned!

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 107 (sleepwalking edition)
Hello Fedi friends!
I'm lucky I didn't have to do any coding today... my little one woke me up at 4:50am, so even if it's only 3:30pm I've been wide awake for 11 hours now. Running commands in terminal would have been... risky I think
It feels really strange to be past a HUGE self-hosting hurdle. Now my self-hosted Ghost blog is fine... up and running wonderfully, with perfectly working TXT and DMARC records (knock on wood).
What will my next big challenge be? I'm thinking self-hosting PeerTube... but I will enjoy this peace and sense of accomplishment for a little while longer before taking that on.
Thanks for all your help and encouragement throughout my self-hosting adventures
patpro.net is currently down, as internal NVMe and SSD are being replaced…
#selfhosting #sysadminlife
Last year I started a webring like it was 1999 with the System Crafters community. And for its first anniversary I wrote a blog post about How I accidentally got better at self-hosting and FOSS contributing.
Sometimes you don’t have to wait for someone else, you can be a catalyst. Happy Birthday Craftering!
Thanks to @daviwil for fostering a great community and to @kern for building Ringfairy and being so encouraging.
