  Instead of asking for a ntfy alternative, could you tell what you want to achieve? Because ntfy has several functions, primarily that of carrying notifications. And it seems that’s not what you want to achieve. Maybe you can find it here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to self-host a Prosody XMPP server on Bazzite with Podman for Movim⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Setting up an xmpp server is not a good entrypoint in the self-hosting space. It is quite hard to build. It is a complex system made of different components in order to achieve what you expect from it. I strongly recommend using existing servers. If you want to tinker, find something else (a samba share and a vpn on bare metal is a good starting point in order to learn).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I couldn’t think about leaving my personal data to the Big Tech…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I doing this (networking) safely?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d add Crowdsec

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Raspberry Pi 4B⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t recommend network apps to a complete beginner. They might loose their network for a while and get afraid of tinkering. My 2p

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a selfhostable chat service that people on phone and computers can log onto⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are many solutions. I have chosen xmpp/ejabberd/conversations/monal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you explain selfhosting to the non-techies in your life?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just like it and I value my privacy. I don’t try to convince anyone. I explain it is both a hobby and a kind of political statement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Setting up VoIP on my matrix server⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at github.com/coturn/coturn

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosting Sunday! What's up?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in my SSO moment. Been trying Authelia - too hard configuring - then TinyAuth - very nice but limited -, Pocket-ID - a jewel but allows only passkeys -. Now back to Authelia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been self-hosting my mail server for the past 5 or 6 years with success. Recently my ISP decided to close port 25 so I have to use a third party to deliver my outgoing mail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What I host myself⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely don’t understand what you are paying for. I must have missed something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What I host myself⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What cost?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What I host myself⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is hard to set up and you might need an SMTP relay since most ISPs close port 25. But it is feasible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What I host myself⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have everything at home, including the mail server. The only third party to my setup is a SMTP relay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pi NAS for multi-location backups⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What I do is a local backup on a different disk, then a copy of that local backup to a Pi at a friend’s place, with rsync.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Putting HDDs to sleep⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t you want to turn off the whole NAS? Of you don’t have the disks spinning, the NAS is probably useless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosting Sunday - What's up to date, selfhosters?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Upgraded to Debian Trixie two days ago. Runs flawlessly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exposing docker socket to a container⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Watchtower just to notify me of the updates. So the docker socket is read-only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expanding storage on simple home server⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I second that advice. When choosing the HDD, make sure it is NAS-grade.
