• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you answer the "ecological" question on self hosting and federated networks ?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The computer itself isn’t the only element that makes up a centralized social media platform. Reddit, for example, isn’t just a random giant server in the middle of a desert; it requires tons of additional costs and inefficiencies to run that business, like entire buildings and hundreds or thousands of people.

  When it comes to the electrical impact, concentration matters a lot, too. 100MWH consumed by a single data center stresses the infrastructure far more than the same total amount of power being consumed by 10,000 locations spread around the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watchtower replacement recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Quadlets. Auto update and auto rollback if the new image fails to start. Plus easier management overall, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I buy a domain not from my own country, will it effect the useage at all?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. I just needed to provide a US-based mailing address.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Debian on my servers. No drama, it just works.

  Fedora on my laptop and desktop. Still solid, but quicker updates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A sneaky demonstration of the dangers of curl bash⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is exactly what is demonstrated in the post. 🙃

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A sneaky demonstration of the dangers of curl bash⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! I like to keep things simple. The colors are based on Counter Strike 1.6. 😁

  And if you’re into the classic styling, my homepage is a direct homage to my old 2000s sites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A sneaky demonstration of the dangers of curl bash⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but this is specifically about scripts you think you know, and how curl bash might trick you into running a different script entirely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wrote a blog post on selfhostesd software to be more organzed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah. I tried /feed.xml and /feed.rss, but didn’t think to check just /feed/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wrote a blog post on selfhostesd software to be more organzed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you find an RSS feed? I didn’t see one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help Wanted: Accessing a Service With the Same FQDN Inside and Outside Local Network⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have tried to use Adguard Home’s DNS rewrites as well as custom query filters to catch local requests for sub.domain.tld and point them instead to Unraid.IP.Address, but this does not resolve.

  According to the logs you posted, it’s resolving just fine, the server is just refusing the connection.

  What you’re trying to do is a pretty typical setup, and one that I use myself (except that I ditched AGH for a simpler set up).

  Internal DNS points to the internal address of the reverse proxy, external DNS points to the external address (both are the same of your using ipv6).

  You just need to look into why the server is refusing the connection. Anything in the logs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have made a Kubernetes to Docker-compose converter/devolver. It's horrible. It's glorious.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but there’s no compose file for the converter. How can you possibly run a single python script without docker+compose?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you help me adapt the Signal TLS Proxy to be used behind Nginx Proxy Manager?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The config files should be in the volume you mounted in your NPM container. Probably /data/cong.d/. You can either edit them like normal nginx configuration files (NPM just runs normal nginx in the background), or you can copy them to a standard nginx instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you help me adapt the Signal TLS Proxy to be used behind NPM?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like most of that install script is just creating a letsenceypt cert for you. If it’s not working, you can probably just create one yourself or use a wildcard cert if you already have one.

  The rest is just an nginx instance being used to proxy a connection. If you’re already using NPM, anyway, you might as well just use that. No reason to run extra instances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else should I selfhost?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Since you’re asking on the Fediverse, an Activitypub server would be an obvious choice.

  Git repos would be another good (and easy) choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ???⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In my opinion, “self-hosted” means that you host it yourself.

  Running services in the cloud (i.e. someone else is hosting it) isn’t the same as hosting it yourself.

  Just have fun, though. Not everyone is in a situation where they can self host. Just do what works for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the laziest way to create a website that looks really nice and is maintainable?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Nice” is entirely subjective. I think my site is nice, but someone else might think it’s garbage.

  I use Hugo to generate my site. It’s not wysiwyg, but it supports markdown for pages, which is even simpler than html. It also has a live server mode, where you can see changes immediately.

  The community has a created whole gallery of themes (templates) that you can use. It might be worth looking through the gallery to see if you think any of them look “nice” to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨E-Mail with own domain⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Another vote for purelymail, here, u/Gobbel2000@programming.dev. Easy to set up and I’ve got full dmarc/dkim/spf. You can pay the flat $10/yr, or you can pay- for-what-you-use. I don’t send a lot of attachments, personally, so my estimated bill is like $4.50.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rebranding our open-source Selfhosted social project to Bitsocial⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ll say it again: I like the concept, but I can’t help but feel that the presentation has been consistently poor.

  The earlier releases left a sour taste for some by highlighting connections to cryptocurrency, and now it’s literally being rebanded to “bitsocial”? With Bitcoin being the widest known cryptocurrency in the world, it’s definitely not alleviating the concerns that this is some sort of cryptoscam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have one, how much do you pay for a domain name? Any cheap registrar recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have two domains through Cloudflare. They don’t mark up to price at all, so they’re basically the lowest price you’ll find that isn’t a gimmick.

  I pay $6.50 for one and $10.46 for the other.

  No harm in getting your domain from them. Just beware that when you create a DNS entry, they default to proxying the incoming connections. It is super easy to turn that “feature” off, you just have to remember to do it whenever you create a new record.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-host Reddit – 2.38B posts, works offline, yours forever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, both the standalone quickstart and the quickstart section of the readme (which are both different).

  Is it possible to get the static sites without spinning up a DB backend?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-host Reddit – 2.38B posts, works offline, yours forever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can anyone figure out what the minimum process is to just use the SSG function? I’m having a really hard time trying to understand the documentation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hosting multiple services with one IP address.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ufw is just a fancy frontend for iptables, but hasn’t been updated for nftables, yet.

  Firewalld is an option that supports both, and if you happen to be running cockpit as well, the cockpit-firewall plugin provides a simple GUI for the whole thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosting with subdomains⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He does refer to the pi as a gateway, so you would be right about it coming before the router. In that case, the pi would be the device handling NAT and forwarding ports.

  So I think he’s describing it accurately… it’s just not a common setup to see these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reverse Proxy: a single point of failure in my lab⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have my reverse proxy in a cluster, so it’ll survive one of the nodes going offline. My router is still a SPoF, though, as is my modem. Not to mention the physical stuff, like a tree falling on the cable lines.

  For a home environment, there’s realistically always going to be a couple SPoFs, you can just move it around a bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare Tunnel: proxy-dns Command Removal 2026 | What are some nice alternatives to encrypted DNS?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you trying to send the DNS request through the tunnel?

  I use DoH, which sends DNS requests through https. It essentially looks like normal https traffic (encrypted), so your ISP shouldn’t be able to hijack it and no additional tunnels are required. CF supports doh at the usual 1.1.1.1 address, even, if you want to keep using them. Otherwise plenty of other providers support doh, as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Questions about how to present radio shows on Jellyfin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use the “mixed” library type for random Internet videos. It basically just lists whatever files you put in there. You can organize stuff into folders, or just toss everything together like you want to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where are you running your wireguard endpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On my router

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Saying something is “self hosted” when it’s actually hosted by a cloud provider is sort of like saying something was “self coded” when it was coded by an LLM.
