For people on small screens:
Hi @everyone!
Time for a pretty big update! Behind the scenes, we’ve been quietly cooking up something exciting, and we’re finally ready to share it: the Jellyseerr and Overseerr teams are merging into one team called Seerr! This has been in the works for quite some time, and we couldn’t be happier to officially join forces.
What does that mean for you? A single unified codebase where all the latest Jellyseerr features will make their way in, plus the combined effort means we can move faster on new features and keep things more up to date.
We’re sharing this news a little early because we need beta testers before our first release. If you’d like to help shape the future of this project (and move us towards a quicker first release), now’s your chance!
To test, you can switch from our official image to
fallenbagel/jellyseerr:preview-seerrWe do not recommend using this on a production instance, but if you do, please back up your data before switching. For any questions or feedback, please post in our #seerr-beta channel!

I’ve been wondering about this for a while, what do people recommend for FOSS imgur alternatives (or just simple image hosting)? 🤔
(Of course the UK should just allow free access to information, but I would still prefer to be able to use something FOSS anyway)

I’m not a gemini user, but this seems like a nice tool!
I just came to share this blog post, written by the developer of
curlabout their opinion on gemini, for anyone interested :D(PS: thank you for using codeberg instead of centralized alternatives!)

TIL; for people like me who just found out:
For a self-hosted app like GameVault, we believe it’s crucual to disclose the source code. We want you, our users, to have full transparency and control [?] over the software you use on your servers.
our desire to protect our code from unauthorized use and commercial exploitation. While we absolutely encourage you to copy, modify, and share our code for personal use […] we want to prevent others from profiting off our hard work by selling our software without our consent.
As a small business with just two members, we strive to provide you with a valuable product but cannot continue to do so as volunteers indefinitely.
(I’m a AGPL kind of guy, but) btw at least there are licenses specifically for software:
www.mongodb.com/…/server-side-public-license
…stackexchange.com/…/allowed-uses-of-a-software-l…
Copyright and the CC-BY-NC license do not regulate mere use, such as executing a program.
Ok proprably we’re at least allowed to run it (That’s not a given, e.g. iirc if someone publishes their code on github without a license, it doesn’t mean that people can fully and legally use it, except for what some Github ToS clause defines that you agreed to)
I was interested in checking it out for personal use; anyone has any experience with alternatives? (I can look them up, I’m just curious about peoples’ recommendations)

Thanks for posting, it would be great if you could publish it on GOG as well! 🩵

I probably wouldn’t go with a relatively new project that isn’t guaranteed to stick around long-term
Oh of course, I just shared it because I don’t think I’ve seen anything similar and simple, just in case anyone wants to check it out and experiment etc
- Comment on Securing a 'public' service for family 2 months ago:
Oh also a friend of mine is developing this, that uses passwordless magic links or passkeys github.com/dzervas/magicentry I haven’t looked much into it though!

You can also check kanidm.com and goauthentik.io as well!

Looks cool! Any plans to publish on GOG or other similar platform? 😁 (DRM-free, StopKillingGames, etc)
- Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit? 4 months ago:
Each server has its own users and communities (but they still all talk and subscribe to each other!)
Usually I see usernames written in the form
@user@lemmy.zip, while communities!InterestingSubject@lemmy.zip - Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit? 4 months ago:
Welcome to the platform!
- You signed up for the lemmy.zip server (=“lemmy instance”), but you can see posts, post comments, and talk to users from any other server. Just like you can send email from your personal email to your work email, it’s still just email! Other than the fact that usernames have a i.e. “@lemmy.zip” part, you shouldn’t really need to think about it 😅 (But when you want to login to your account, you can’t login to another server, you need to login on lemmy.zip)
- No need to learn much more to get started, you just participate in any discussions you want etc 😊
- You can find some communities to subscribe to at sub.rehab and lemmyverse.net/communities . To subscribe to a community, you can search for the community’s full name on your server, lemmy.zip
- Here you can find a mobile app to download: join-lemmy.org/apps/ . You can download whichever you want! You can just try them and pick the one you like the most, and you can have a couple of them at the same time and they still access the same content
- Lemmy.zip also has a list in the sidebar, “Useful links”, these four are just alternative websites you can use to access the same thing; again you can just pick whichever you like the most!
- Comment on Has anyone tested yunohost? 5 months ago:
Yes, it’s pretty good! I’m a DevOps engineer, and have experience with Ansible, Docker, etc, but I just couldn’t find time to deploy services the best way that I wanted™ for my personal server
So, even though it e.g. doesn’t even use Docker, yunohost really helped me start using the many services I wanted/needed, which otherwise might take e.g. a few hours to a couple of days for each of them to research and configure
So I have one “production” yunohost server, one “testing” yunohost server to test services that I don’t know if I’ll use yet (and I wouldn’t want them to interfere with production e.g. by using too many resources)
and one server without yunohost for mailu, Docker, traefik, etc, which I can use to deploy services the correct way™ as I figure out the services that I really use and find the time to deploy them one-by-one
Even when using yunohost, there are so many things to do after deploying a service (e.g. DNS, configure the server and client software), so it has been really useful to save time when deploying and configuring.
I think it gets you ~80% there, helps democratize the Internet a bit, and make self-hosting accessible to everyone 💚 It’s more important to have many people setting up e.g. Immich or Nextcloud for their family photos, than only a few Linux people being able to learn how to do it perfectly and everyone else to have to resort to using centralized services
- Comment on Starting to self host 7 months ago:
You could try something like yunohost to get started! It’s kind of a one click deployment platform for self-hosting, ready to use with user management, reverse proxy with SSL, somewhat preconfigured services, etc.
Ideally you can also learn the tools needed like Docker, Ansible, etc, but with yunohost and a SBC (e.g. RaspberryPi), or a €5/month VPS (easier if you want to access your services publicly), you will have a ready-to-use boilerplate that you can start building on.
Learning all the individual technologies at the same time might be overwhelming at the beginning, but something like yunohost will allow you over time to learn all the stuff around the deployment itself, e.g. how domains and DNS records work, how the SSL certificates are generated, which services you would like to set up and use, the configuration needed for these services individually, etc. And at the same time you can start using a few useful services!
Then, as you start learning, you could start setting up services one-by-one manually with e.g. Docker, either at the same server or a new one.
Don’t forget to look the admin documentation for each software you’re setting up (Nextcloud etc). And look for “awesome-selfhosted”, it’s a list of more resources and software to use and deploy!
Good luck and have fun!
