  People age 70 and up are not allowed to self-host, I see.

    Yeah minda weird. Also nobody below 12 years old is also not allowed.

    Ah, but it’s how old you feel which is more important 😉

    Maybe those statistics could be really interesting:

    • How old do you feel when using proprietary software?
    • How old do you feel when using FOSS?

      B) I feel like I was much smarter when I was younger.

  The question about the single most favorite self hosted software is impossible to answer.

  • Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Docker? Without it life would be difficult so self host

    source

    • waddle_dee@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Why is this? I’ve never used docker before and when I set up my server a couple years ago, I installed Debian, Apache, and MariaDB and got everything set up relatively easily.

    I struggled with that but for me i treated it as one I’ve been most hyped about this past year

    I went with Jellyfin because it’s the one I use the most. It also gives me the most headaches, so it’s a mixed bag.

    i did searxng main thing i use that i host

    source
  • Marthirial@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I also had to think, but I went for CloudPanel. Fantastic server manager software from Germany. Reverse proxy my docker containers with it. Lean. Stable. Reliable.

    Fuck cPanel or Plesk with their bullshit licenses.

    I named Bookwyrm. There isn’t so much going on update wise, but it’s a fun software with a nice community

  • keyez@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    For me it’s Bitwarden, hosting their stack in 2018 right after getting my first job launched me into everything else.

  Definitely going to fill this out once I get some free time. What will the data be used for?

  source

  • tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The results will be published on the website.

    Pretty graphs and who knows what the creator of the (IMO awesome) page also does.

• Saltarello@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I forwarded this to my neighbour who is really into self hosting, particularly home automation stuff - has a pretty awesome Home Assistant set up. First thing they said? “But I’m 70, this only goes to 69”

  I told him in that case he must dismantle his self hosted servers immediately 😁

• ragingHungryPanda@piefed.keyboardvagabond.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  filled! I’m looking forward to the results!

  source
• jacecomix@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Pet peeve: had to check “Other” and write “None” several times but otherwise fun little survey. Results should be fun to look at.

  source

  • gmalette@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You can also not answer questions by clicking next without an answer. I chose to understand “None” as skipping

    source

    • communism@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      There was one question where it wouldn’t let me do this. I think the media streaming question I had to click “Other”.

      source
• wabasso@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Is using Docker Compose considered orchestration?

  source

  • mlg@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    “No”

    – everyone using compose to orchestrate software deployments

    spoiler

    Yes it is, and there’s a age old joke about docker being used for configuration management, which doesn’t require a container system.

    source
  • paequ2@lemmy.today ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I put yes. Then it asks what platform you use and I clicked “Docker”.

    source

    • rmrf@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It asks this regardless of whether you say you use orchestration or not. I would say that docker compose, used as intended, is not a container orchestration platform as it provides no automated scaling or resiliency across nodes

    No

    source
  • tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I answered no since it mentions Swarm but I wasn’t sure either

    source

    • wabasso@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Oh lol I thought you were the author of the survey.

      source
• t0fr@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Done

  I wasn’t sure what to put for NAS device. I built my own NAS solution, but it’s not an OOTB NAS, so I picked “no”.

  source

  • tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I think if you mostly use it for being network storage, it’s included

    source

    • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Mine started that way, with Linux + BTRFS RAID + samba, then I added minidlna, then Jellyfin, then a bunch of additional services.

      I think the survey should distinguish between an off-the-shelf NAS (Synology, TrueNAS, etc) and DIY, ask about filesystems/RAID (ZFS, BTRFS, EXT + software RAID, hardware RAID, no RAID).
