selfhosting

Good morning Fedi friends!

Today is a really special day - it marks the one year anniversary of the installation/setup of this #GoToSocial instance 🎂​

For its first few days I kept the account private, doing tests with @stereo (my self-hosting support buddy - THANK YOU!)... and I only published its first public post on January 1st 2025.

I have nothing but great things to say about @gotosocial – I LOVE everything about it. A huge thank you to its developers - keep up the amazing work!

#MySoCalledSudoLife #SelfHosting

Hello World from my homelab! This is Leo, a 20-year-old from Bangladesh. My previous account was @ml. I recently started my homelab journey and moved everything there, but due to some technical issues I decided to set up a new Mastodon instance at social.mitexleo.one.

I enjoy playing around and experimenting with tech, and in my free time I like reading books. It’s great to be back and see the world again!

I turned a tiny #Mac mini into my own #Mastodon server—secure, low‑maintenance, and running like a dream. Here’s the full build, from #Docker to #Cloudflare Tunnel, and why #SelfHosting doesn’t have to be a headache.

We've launched a new project:
Arcticons Selfhosted. An icon set for your favorite self-hostable software. Created by @stratself, it's our first project to fully debut on Codeberg.

Check it out on our fancy new site:

#snac is a pretty cool #fediverse #activitypub server software!

Super lightweight, no database, easy to set-up.

I will not replace my main #mastodon instance with it, but i really have some other use cases for it, for example some bots or so.

And from what I saw, the code also is pretty nice to learn things from it. (me, a c programming noob)

Edit: Totally dumb of me to NOT post the Git repo in the first place 🤦‍♂️

Self-Hosting is not just a safety feature. It is a political act.

#bookmark: reiver/retejo: retejo is a next-generation single-user static web-site server, that is designed to work with any forgejo server (such as Codeberg) and provides built-in support for Markdown and the Social Web (i.e., ActivityPub, ActivityStreams, the Fediverse, etc).You can think of retejo as an alternative to Codeberg Pages and GitHub Pages.One nice thing about retejo is that, it isn't just a web-site server, bu… https://codeberg.org/reiver/retejo #fediverse #selfhosting

Sooooo my recent mishaps with server administration are making me speed up my plans of shifting towards community-owned and -maintained hosting.

Ever since my conversation with @boris almost one year ago, I took his quote “self-hosting is selfish” as a mantra. It’s time to act accordingly.

Together with @Holly and @youjungnoh, we are putting together a group of tech-savy people who want to, respectively:

1. Learn more about system administration
2. Get their hands dirty while doing so
3. Maintain our own shared server
4. Host their own things (be them websites, projects, or services) together with comrades instead of individual infrastructure.

There are many super cool collectives that are doing this already, and we intend to draw inspiration from their work and their documentation, but we really want to do this together!

Who wants to join? Please, do reach out! I already spun up a small-ish VPS that is now hosting all my static websites. If you’d like to get involved, reach out and I would be happy to give you SSH access 🌻

We would also be very grateful if more experienced sysAds want to help us out by hosting workshops or brief classes.

We intend to meet for the first time in South Holland (but maybe virtually too) sometime during the first two weeks of March.

Next steps:

1. Find a name for this group/server/mission
2. Plan a series of (free, open) intro lessons with guests
3. Start hosting some things
4. Migrate things I am already hosting with YunoHost in our community server
5. Migrate to a physical device in a home of ours?

EDIT: I forgot to add this, but it goes without saying that ours would be a queer and transfeminist server

Una pequeña nube en la gran nube

«No existe la nube. Solo es el computador de otra persona» Creo que ya todos deben haber leído esa frase en alguna parte, ya sea en una polera, un sticker o un meme. Lo que dice, de manera bien simplificada es verdad. Lo que usualmente conocemos como la nube es, básicamente, una red computadores conectados entre sí. Pero ese «computador de otra […]

Glad to share the details for our Q1 2026 live training series, including that of Cloudbreak, a new course in #selfhosting geared toward those with no prior relevant skills.

As with 2025, seats are limited to ensure quality coaching with great outcomes for participants.

I've been working on the infrastructure for Launchpad023. Everything declaratively configured because servers should be cattle not pets.

I've put it up on Codeberg if anyone wants to take a look.

I was ill last week and discovered something uncomfortable: a huge Jellyfin library isn't entertainment, it's homework. Every time I opened it, it asked "what do you want?" and I just scrolled.

So I built a TV station instead.

ErsatzTV turns a media library into real linear channels with schedules and logos. It ships for Linux, Windows and macOS. My server runs FreeBSD.

Turns out the entire porting effort was one conditional. The code asked "is this Linux?" when it meant "is VAAPI available?" VAAPI is userspace, FreeBSD has it, and .NET has had OSPlatform.FreeBSD for years.

One || later: Intel hardware transcoding in a Bastille jail that can see exactly one GPU and one read-only dataset.

I now have a sci-fi channel. I don't know what's on tonight. That's the point.

#hosting #SelfHosting #GetFederated #Fediverse #ActivityPub

I see tons of posts about #selfhosting here, and it makes sense. It’s a great option for people who can.

But this excludes the vast majority of regular people who do not have the technical skills to run a data center.

We owe it to everyone to make open cloud services that:

- do not put profit first
- do not “own” or “monetize” their users’ data
- resist enshitification by letting users take their data somewhere else
- are as easy and straightforward as the “closed” status quo

One of my favourite features of the #fediverse is seeing people *learning things*. There are so many folks here discovering dying arts and trades. People learning how the things we take for granted work, and endeavouring to implement them themselves!

People getting their #HAMradio licenses, #selfhosting, making clothing, blacksmithing, gardening, repairing their own things, backporting modern software to run on windows 3.11...

Y'all are my people. Never stop learning, and never stop sharing what you've learned.

Anyone have experience using #Snac2 for a small activitypub instance? Currently I use #gotosocial which is great but I'm curious about other options. Running a second instance with a different domain for friends or a second account is appealing to me.

Question about #SelfHosting without a CDN :

How long does it take for you to see the monkey vídeo in this post (10 MB) ?

https://contra.rio.br/@muito_pelo/statuses/01KEFPG15563Y2RX77PKDCSE9B

It uses a a frontend in São Paulo and a backend here at home in Rio de Janeiro. And obviously federation may play a role for secondary viewers.

Just received an email from my mail server administrator. They sent me a link to change my password because it's 'insecure'.

My mail admin is so efficient...

...hey, wait a minute... I AM my mail administrator! 🤦‍♂️

Thinking about a new domain+project...

Anyone have the TL;DR; on self hosted fediverse software?

Mastodon vs Snac vs Pleroma vs ?

I'm looking for something that is super low maintenance and lightweight / easy on resources but as full featured as practical within those constraints.

Something easy to tune re: post lengths and media types would be cool too. A "text first" platform is desired.

I've run Mastodon in the past and it's like fishing with nukes for this use case.

What's out there?

Hallo meine Lieben!

Ihr habt ja schon gesehen, dass ich es nochmal mit Sharkey und der Aria App versuche. Die App finde ich mittlerweile viel besser, als ich sie in Erinnerung hatte.

Nachdem ich mich erst bei Sharkey.World herumgetummelt habe, ziehe ich vielleicht demnächst hierher um. Wieder mal auf meinen eigenen Sharkey Server: Jürgens Treff 😉.

Ich hoffe auf eure unendliche Geduld.

Und da ich mich kenne, werde ich weiterhin meinen Glitch Server betreiben. Dort bin ich ja unter @juergen@hello.jyrgi bekannt (oder berüchtigt 🤔).

Euer stets unsteter Jürgen
