selfhosting

I have a question for people who use #tailscale for their home network. From what I understand, identities are bound to the IdP I chose and that IdP can not be changed without creating a new network.
So my question. Are you all running your own IdPs or do you use gmail or github and live with the fact that you will have to reconfigure a whole bunch of things if you ever switch providers?

Snac is a lightweight Fediverse-compatible social network server which is entirely human-written, and doesn't require a database. You can find out more at:

🏡 https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2

You can follow Snac's lead developer at:

🏡 @grunfink

It can be installed via @yunohost (at https://apps.yunohost.org/app/snac) or manually using the installation instructions (at https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2/src/branch/master/README.md).

As a #selfhosting collective with similar values as #autistici/inventati we are very saddened by the news that their services are getting shut down due to them being illegitimately listed as terrorism supporters by the very biggest and strongest global terrorist #USA government. Here's our letter of support for collective written in Slovene and translated into Italian and English.

We hope that many new independent services will rise up instead.

Quick heads-up for other Mastodon admins: this registration spam wave isn't over yet.

On lsbt.me, we first saw a flood of API registrations using Python/aiohttp. The telltale signs were usernames following the pattern bp plus 16 hex characters, and the sign-up reason was always "Automated protocol deliverability probe". A narrow block on that user agent stopped the first wave.

Today, however, five new registrations came in with the same usernames and the same sign-up reason. This time the bot simply identified itself as Chrome 126. That's exactly why a user agent is only useful as a short-term filter. It's a header the client can set to anything.

The requests go to POST /api/v1/accounts. This endpoint lets client apps create a new local account directly in the app. No app needs it for OAuth connections to existing accounts. #FediSuite doesn't use it either. It registers itself via /api/v1/apps, obtains consent via /oauth/authorize, and then works with a user token. Regular sign-up through the Mastodon website is also handled separately via POST /auth.

So I've completely disabled API account creation on lsbt.me. Web sign-up, OAuth, and existing clients keep working as before. Anyone who wants a new account just signs up once on the web as usual and can then use any client.

If you'd also rather not offer this optional native sign-up path, you can add the following to your Nginx server block, before the general location / block. The example assumes the @proxy location that many Mastodon Nginx configs already include:

location = /api/v1/accounts {
  limit_except GET {
    deny all;
  }

  try_files $uri @proxy;
}

This returns a 403 only for POST /api/v1/accounts. The read-only GET endpoint remains reachable. As always, run nginx -t afterwards and only reload once the test passes.

Eine #Frage an die #Linux #Admin Bubble, von einem unerfahrenen und deshalb noch zaghaften #Selfhosting Admin: Ich betreibe einen #VPS unter #Debian 12.15 und #Yunohost. Darauf läuft nur wenig kritische Software... u.a. #WordPress, #SearXNG und ein wenig Email.

Gibt es (gute) Gründe, auf dem Sever keine unattended-upgrades zu aktivieren?

Tenho que recrear o meu VPS, e é um momento mui ajeitado para aproveitar a mudar de serviço, se for necessário.

Levo dez anos con OVH e mormente contento (preço razoável e francês), mália que o seu painel de control vai fatal ultimamente.

Vós que usades para #selfhosting / #selfhost ? Escoito-vos.

A visual refresh for https://hostux.net : the whole Hostux Network website has now been redesigned to match the new identity introduced with HostuxDNS.

Same services, new look, with a cleaner layout

Hmm, I messed something up with my #Jellyfin. Figuring out how to start from scratch (and hoping the .nfo's do the hard work).

It's cheaper and easier than you think to create your own @peertube server 🙂

🌱 If you're non-techy you can use managed hosting through https://fedihost.co or https://cloud68.co

🪴 If you're slightly techy you can install PeerTube through @yunohost at https://apps.yunohost.org/app/peertube

🌳 If you're very techy you can use the manual installation instructions at https://docs.joinpeertube.org
