A little advertisement for #AudiobookShelf which I recently discovered. Finally I found a #selfhosted tool worthy of storing my #audiobook collection gathered over decades. I'm a very happy camper.

Why not just use Audible or the likes? Because they occasionally renegotiate licenses with publishers/authors and books you have already paid for may disappear. I often re-listen to books in my collection, and that really pisses me off.

There are dozens of selfhosted chatgpt web ui's that have been abandoned for the last 6 months and have dozens of issues. Are there any #selfhosted #chatgpt web ui's that are active? With GPT4 and multiple chats with custom prompts. Anyone know of any good ones?

Those running docker hosts, where/how are you managing mounted volumes? What path/naming convention are you using on the host? E.g., do you have a "/sites", "/docker", or "/volumes" folder which contains content/mounts for each site?

I previously stored each in my user folder (e.g., /home/ryan/sites) but curious if anyone has a preferred set of conventions. Thanks!

I think `iostat` is my new favourite #Linux command. It gives you so much information about what exactly your hard drives (or SSDs) are doing. It takes a while to get used to, but here is an example of the output:

I don’t know what I’m going to do, I need the new server to run on the subnet I have established for #kubernetes but I can’t really have that server in the same room as the other nodes due to the high levels of noise it produces. Well, a solution eventually will appear. #selfhosted #homelab

We are back. We are so back. My #selfhosted adventures of "quickly" upgrading to #Mastodon v4.2.0 in a short ~15 minute process has concluded after about 18 hours.

Things we've learned:

1. the database backup works as expected
2. check ruby versions, doh!
3. When in doubt, delete the gems and start fresh--

Deleting the entire directory:

`/home/mastodon/live/vendor/cache`

and reinstall with `bundle install`

--is SO much better than trying to chase down dependency and compilation errors

I helped a friend get a Kubernetes environment setup over the weekend

Found a bunch of assumptions in my notes/scripts that caused some issues.

We got it running tho 🤘

I've considered trying to polish things a bit and writing it all up in a blog series

A few things are stoping me:
1. Probably a bajillion copies, with more rigour than I'd include
2. Not sure where I'd blog to, substack? Idk, for anonominity reasons
3.a few parts aren't smooth around proxmox

If you need/want something #selfhosted without giving up the amazing ui of google photos, I strongly recommend #immich I’ve been using Nextcloud photos for about a year at this point and it was incredibly slow compared to this (to the point I didn’t even bother looking at my images). The immich ui is fast responsive quick and has just the right amount of A.I elements

After wrestling with numerous technical doohickeys I FINALLY upgraded my own #SelfHosted #Mastodon #Instance to 4.2.0! 🥳

I followed the instructions on https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.2.0 and spent a LOT of time troubleshooting errors.

The only thing I haven't configured yet is ElasticSearch which allows for full-text search. Will configure it later! I'm just so happy I got Mastodon 4.2.0 working at least.

I'm not great at being consistent, but I was especially bad at having and internal-only personal wiki for my self-hosted stuff. So I'm making posts public! Hopefully the pressure will keep me going.

I'm not sure about the subdomain yet, but check it ou at https://selfhosted.rsmsn.co. I'll post stuff about #git, #neovim, #selfhosted, #diy, #cli, #python, and whatever else seems interesting.

Feels like I'll be setting up a self hosted Funkwhale instance this weekend while @Balloonicorn and I plan out where/how we're going to host a regional Mastodon server.

#Mastodon #Funkwhale #Fediverse #hosting #selfhosted #homelab

can confirm. The new fulltext search works great, and is awesome! I just searched for "footiMac" which I know only I use and it returned results very very quickly. I can go way back. Including to it's very first mention back in January!

This ability is so very important for the usability and attractiveness of Mastodon!

@joel Are there publicly available #CastoPod instances (like Mastodon, PixelFed, & #PeerTube ) which users like myself can join or…

Is castpod individually #selfhosted or subscription based using the official castopod?

@umiamz I just reenabled ElasticSearch and made that modification to the jvm options and instead of 13.4GB/15.6GB I'm at 7.3GB of 15.6GB. Excellent. Thank you for the tip. I will tweak as required. ElasticSearch is definitely taking some CPU time as well but this could be just from being new, so I'll let it run for a few days and see what the experience is like.

I'd like to share a bunch of videos from travel and my life, self-hosted.

Ideally, #peertube is what I want, but I feel that adds now necessary moderation to be blocking undesirable federated servers (and posting all videos as unlisted).
I can't find anything similar to Peertube and it's interface on the "Awesome-Selfhosted" github.

Any other suggestions? Simple video self-hosting with a nice UI that I can easily add new video uploads, that people can follow maybe?

I admit I'm not quite familiar with updating Ruby, Node.js, NPM and Yarn, but I am learning. As I'm on 4.1.7 currently, I'll try updating to 4.1.8 and then 4.1.9 first before updating to 4.2.0 as mentioned in https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.2.0 👍

I just migrated the 50 odd repos from my #selfhosted #Forgejo instance used for small and personal projects and deleted it (which ran #Gitea and even #Gogs before).

The dev-ops push has made it too big, slow and difficult to maintain for me (new versions frequently breaking things). 90% of the projects only need issue tracking, pull requests and a wiki anyway.

I'll now try a barebones ssh-hosted setup with git hooks, #GitBug and #markdown files instead. #minimalism

Phew! That was a big one. Upgrading ruby to 3.2.2 and running the compile for Rails were both fairly long. Also had to learn about "git stash" to preserve my modifications (character limits). I saved the files it specified in a safe place. Only had to modify two files (app/serializers/rest/instance_serializer.rb and app/validators/status_length_validator.rb) to increase the character limit instead of three.

Commands used for upgrade:
(all done in the live directory except the backup script and restarting processes)

$: backupscript.sh (You have a backup script to backup your database and redis right? :))
$: RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-jemalloc rbenv install 3.2.2
$: git fetch --tags
$: git stash
$: git checkout v4.2.0
$: bundle install
$: yarn install --frozen-lockfile
$: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
$: SKIP_POST_DEPLOYMENT_MIGRATIONS=true RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate
— (restart all Mastodon Processes —
$: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate

Changes in instance_serializer.rb:
After def registerations block add…

def max_toot_chars
2000
end

Then in status_length_validator.rb change "MAX_CHARS = 2000”.

Done!

After several years, I'm thinking of ditching my self-hosted Synapse/matrix server and Mastodon servers, as I am the sole user on each. I realized I see very little value now in hosting these with only one user, as it's not worth the log files and storage data that they accumulate. While I love self-hosting at home, I feel federated and social applications make little sense if there's just one person on it - outside of running it as a hobby effort.

#mastodon #synapse #matrix #selfhosted

Low level #homelab shit, but it took some energy to get done. I was able to update both my proxmox host to 64 gigs of ram.. I should be set there for a long time. I got my #lxd host back and I am back to full force on a #debian. I really wanted alpine to work out.. It just didn't. Slowly going to rotate #ubuntu for #debian. Why you ask..

well i'm glad you asked

so here is the main thing you should take into account when you write anything you expect to be hosted by more than you or your employer:

You Are NOT The Only Thing Running On This Server

what does this mean in practice?

- don't attempt to handle common tasks such as ssl yourself. a reverse proxy is generally the first thing that gets set up, you can safely assume one exists.

- make your reverse proxy setup as painless as possible, ideally it shouldn't be more than a proxy_pass/reverse_proxy call (but unfortunately situations like /.well-known exist)

- don't bundle common dependencies like databases or redis, because there will generally be something else that will already require one set up.

- don't run multiple common dependencies at the same time (cough cough lemmy-ansible and a million other stuff running 2 half-configured nginx instances for the same thing that can be done with 1 well-configured instance)
- a big hell no to anyone who puts apache inside a php container. i get it php hosting sucks but at least go for php-fpm

- prefer common dependencies over obscure ones if possible (you better have a really good reason to pick an sql db that isn't postgres. mysql is begrudgingly acceptable. sqlite doesn't count)

- that said, resource usage is a really good reason to pick one dependency over another (say, a lighter search indexer than elasticsearch)

- don't assume you have full control over the above common dependencies (compiled extensions, weird configuration requirements)

- don't pollute the filesystem in a way that can't be trivially cleaned up
- so, either use the package manager or place files in predictable and non-shared places

- containers do not solve any of these problems (ok maybe except the last one), they just sweep them under the rug. do not rely on containers as your only way of installation.
- and for sure do NOT bundle common dependencies
INSIDE containers, (cough cough gitlab)

- opaque install scripts are even worse than containers and should not be your only way of installation (cough cough pihole)

- opaque install scripts that assume a clean slate and blindly overwrite global configuration is a horrible idea and should have big red warnings.
- opaque install scripts that set up containers under the hood are only slightly less bad (still a bad idea)

- that said, for those who want the option, the last couple are definitely nice to have (they should not be
required, however)

- the only thing necessary to host your thing should be a reasonably normal linux system (no cloud function serverless whatevers)

- try keeping resource usage in mind, unused ram is not wasted ram if there are 20 different services all competing for that ram

- scaling down is more important than scaling up. don't hoard excess resources ahead of time if the only reason you're doing that is so you can scale up in the future

- have actual installation documentation beyond "docker compose up" or "curl | sh" or "todo"

- while you are not obliged to support weird setups (musl, bsds, whatever) you shouldn't be hostile to them. they know they're running something unsupported and as long as you fix the often-not-that-hard compat issues they report, they'll do the hard work themselves

- you should never EVER
REQUIRE a mail server, what is wrong with you?

there's probably more but it's apparently 3am so my brain is starting to go into eepy mode

Trying my luck again.. 🙃

I’m the dev behind @buttercup, the open source password manager available for all major platforms. For some time it’s been a one person show, but I’d really like it not to be.

We get the odd contribution from the community but Buttercup would really benefit from having another founding member or two that want to help push the project forward into its next phase.

It’s all #OSS right now, with mixed licenses of MIT and GPL. We want to put out some SaaS so there’ll be some closed source in the future, which will hopefully support a small business, but the #FOSS side is one we want front and centre at all times. It’s what made us and we’re passionate about it.

It’s all #javascript and #typescript, with #react, #reactnative, #electron, #browserextensions etc. that make up the majority of the software.

We have some few thousand users, many hundreds of which are daily active.

We’re interested in adding a lot of new functionality: #webauthn, #Passkeys, #fido #fido2, #yubikey, #selfhosted and sharing.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, please give me a shout! We’re looking for someone that’d be interested in sharing ownership.

I’ve got some busy days ahead of me so if I don’t respond immediately I will as soon as I can. Here’s some places to react me:

Looking for recs: #selfHosted photo collection to replace Google photos??? Dont need any of the fancy neural net stuff (though I mean being able to do search would be a plus), mostly looking for backup and albums. I have tried piwigo but pretty dang janky. I can/will search more myself so mostly looking for any personal experiences ❤️❤️.

You should check it out if you don't know it yet and you have some services to monitor.

Does anyone know of any simple #selfhosted file drop software?

Not to be confused with file transfer such as transfer.sh. I want anyone to be able to upload files but only authorised users should be able to download them, not even the person who uploaded the files.

Today is starting off as a Good Computer Day™!

Finally put my blog engine rewrite online - wrote a blog post about what changed, primarily under the hood:

That reminds me! Since I moved from #Akkoma to #Firefish and had to switch subdomains, I think a new #introduction is in order!

Hi, my name is Carlos Solís, from Costa Rica (or Rich Coast, for the Spanish-challenged in the audience
😉). I'm a computer science graduate and have been working in the digital area for ten years now. I've been on the #FreeSoftware scene since my college days on and off for over ten years now, and in fact I've taken it so seriously, that this message has been posted from my #SelfHosted server in my own house in Santa Ana.

My other interests include
#Linguistics, especially #Auxlangs and #Conlangs (besides of my native Spanish, the related #RomanceLanguages such as Portuguese and Italian which I can sort of understand, and the bits of German and Japanese that I learned online, I also know the basics of #Esperanto and #Idolinguo, plus I've dabbled in more obscure languages such as #LingwaDePlaneta and #Uropi), #FreeCulture and #Copyleft works (though for historic reasons I've drifted away from some projects such as the SCP Foundation), #Accessibility / #A11Y (especially relevant since I work a lot on frontend online tools), and #Cybersecurity (again, relevant as I sometimes work full-stack).

Pronouns if you need them: "He" is best, "they"/"it"/"one" are odd but understandable in context, "she" is very much a miss (pun a bit intended there!)

#selfhosted Crowd: I'm looking for a public RSS aggregator / archiver. General idea is to take content from various sources (pixelfed, Mastodon, Flickr), display this in an aggregated public timeline and (ideally) keep a copy of each of these articles in some way locally. Runtime would be a shared web hoster, PHP (and web cron, as there's no shell access on that machine). Any ideas? Is there anything purpose-built for that to recommend? Played with certain self-hosted RSS aggregators but most of them are focussed on being clients for reading / consuming feeds...

I'm trying my hand at more self-hosting. I got a Firefish (fork of Misskey) for posting, and a Gitea for my code, and I'll be spinning up a Bookstack site for some documenting I want to do.

Run your own #WebRTC Turn Server using #Free and #OpenSource, #SelfHosted software. #Coturn can give your #Matrix #xmpp #nextcloudtalk app a rock solid real-time #audio #Video connection. Runs on #Linux, of course! https://youtu.be/eZ9Jrxy6NVM

Heads up: #selfhosted folks.
If you use the Limit IP Tracking in iOS and you have the new iOS 17 beta that includes iCloud Private Relay, it may limit your ability to use a home-based server on your local network. I couldn't figure out why Tooot and Ivory were not connecting to my #selfhost when I still could with Safari. It turns out this feature was the cause. Something to do with reverse proxy blocking non-browser traffic?

Over the next few days, I’m going to see if I can change my #SelfHosted #Mastodon #Instance’s config, DNS, and SSL certificate settings to rename it from “mastodon.moule.world” to “fediverse.moule.world”.

From what I understand, this may cause #federation issues with other servers that know mine as “mastodon.moule.world”, and my instance may not be available to others.

If you’re a #MastoAdmin with experience renaming instances, feel free to drop me some tips! 👍

Self-hosting your data and services with Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a great way to free yourself from the spiralling costs and tangled web of subscription fees. Whether you’re simply looking to back up your photos or stream 4K movies on your travels, there’s a wide range of products to pick from, but not quite so many to suit all budgets.

If you’ve been tempted by one of the best NAS systems but are put off by the expense or lack of gradual upgrade paths, building a cheap DIY NAS could be a better alternative for you.

I have a mini-PC running OpenMediaVault at home, with two external notebook drives (they power off USB power). OpenMediaVault runs a daily backup which copies data from the primary drive over to the second drive. It's not fancy, but it offers a couple of home-hosted services that I run inside the house, as well as a Nginx Proxy Manager service that securely manages any external connections from the Internet.

The only downside is that the combination of LAN network, mini-PC power, and externally connected drives via USB, means that it has been too sluggish for me to do proper desktop backups over the LAN to it. Maybe I must try tuning it again, but this is a potential bottleneck if you wanted to back up hundreds of gigabytes of data. Still, it is highly functional, and I find it very worthwhile running. All my self-hosted services are running in Docker containers under OpenMediaVault.

So, as the article says about some options, you can go extremely budget, or if you pay a bit more, you get more functionality and speed. Off-the-shelf NAS hardware is a great way to get started, especially if you’re limited on time. But hopefully, this guide will convince you that a self-built PC or Mini-PC/DAS setup is a great way to take control of the setup yourself. Plus, it’ll cost you significantly less and net you a lot more hardware than a Synology or QNAP.

See I saved $100s building my own NAS home server



Building a DIY NAS is the cheap option to get setup with a home server, here's how I did it and everything you need to know to get started.
