So I gotta say doing the whole 100days thing has actually given me some pretty good momentum that I was missing previously.. Even if some days it's just look at stuff, run updates, and generally kick tires on things it adds up.

So yeah shout-out to #100daysofhomelab.

I've been keeping a log.. definitely no reason for anybody to look at it but just sharing for inspiration.. yay yah I'm only 10 days in.

What's your favorite self-hosted RSS reader for news and blogs?

Ich habe jetzt tatsächlich einen Großteil meines Musikkonsums auf meine eigene #jellyfin-Instanz umgezogen - was mir aber tatsächlich fehlt (oder ich habe es übersehen bzw. nutze die falsche Clients [iOS: Ampfin und Manet]) ist Music-Shareing (gerne per song.link) kennt da wer Lösungen? #selfhosted

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn my Mastodon feed into some sort of RSS feed or otherwise?

I use a #FOSS dashboard called Glance to collect my feeds and website - I have Mastodon linked currently, but, would love to make a feed from two of the lists I've created so I can quickly take a quick look at them.

@FediTips not sure if you know of a way?

Successfully updated my instance’s host from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS.

Ran into a dependency issue after reboot, but ‘bundle install —force’ fixed it.

All is well.

#HFBoards is a big #hockey forum dating back almost two decades, and in the past couple has gone to the cloud version of their forum software.

If you feel compelled to follow that strategy for your currently #SelfHosted forums, consider this result a warning of the possible consequences.

I know a lot of forum providers are pushing people to cloud versions lately. Do so at your community's peril. This downtime is now going on for some 3+ days.

This Week in Self-Hosted (14 March 2025)

@homeassistant #Matter support, software updates and launches, a spotlight on #Cups -- a #container update monitoring platform, and more in this week's self-hosted recap!

Well, this is very exciting... a Manyfold 3d viewer right in your timeline!

Having lots of fun using Delta Chat. I've set up two accounts on my mail server, one for myself and one for my husband. We're both surprised at how fast it is compared to more traditional centralised chat apps like Signal. It's so cool to be able to self-host this and not rely on centralised infrastructure that is outside of my control.

Now I just need to convince everyone I know it's really cool :)

Folks who run their own #selfhosted #git services: tell me about how your #backups work. #selfhosting #git #gitolite #forgejo #gitea #gogs

In the past three days, I've switched my #homelab to a new #ReverseProxy! After using #NginxProxyManager and #Zoraxy, I've now moved to #Pangolin.

Pangolin allows me to provide my #selfhosted services from my home lab without needing to open a port in my #firewall.

Essentially, it's a self-hosted alternative to #CloudflareTunnels, running on a #VPS. Due to the current political situation in the #USA, I preferred not to use Cloudflare.

Pangolin is based on #WireGuard and #Newt, enabling a #certificate-based direct connection after installing a client on the home server.

I'm extremely satisfied with it and now have no open ports in my private #network!

One of the nice things of using non-commercial (and often #selfhosted) software is that you don't have to worry that a click on a certain article or video will ruin your recommendations.

Although it's not unthinkable that non-commercial software would have a recommendation algorithm, I haven't seen one where I wasn't in full control.

Does anyone else know of a good self hosted ebook library server that can be used with native multi-platform reading app support and sync reading progress?

I really don't want to read books from a web app, I want to be able to read while offline whether on my iPhone, iPad or my Boox e-reader (Android)

I love the way BookFusion works, but I don't want to rely on their cloud storage (or any company's cloud storage for that matter)

A colleague of mine pointed me to a nice usecase for local running LLMs:

Available offline "documentation".

Yes, LLMs hallucinate a lot, but depending on the model it can be a useful backup for documentation or similar ressources if you do not have any internet connection available at the moment.

Might be better than having nothing at all if you need to get some work done.

I see why people hate on Ansible a bit. It has it's nuances, the community modules are helpful but lack any real documentation when shit goes wrong. You can do the same thing 48 different ways.. Still great and easy, but I can understand why NixOS exists hahah

#introduction though I'm not new here, but moved to my #selfhosted #Mastodon instance half a year ago .

I'm Florian , #IT/computer science student at #RWTHAachen and #tech enthusiast.
I do lots of #selfhosting in my #homelab, develop apps with #Flutter , but also websites and other #software .

I'm very passionate about emergency #medicine and work as a #paramedic (Rettungssanitäter ) on the #ambulance in #ems .
I love water sports, be it #sailing , #diving or #swimming .

interesting, so pihole version 6 has gotten rid of lighttpd webserver? so my notes from last time setting things up are now useless

#SelfHosted #NextCloud database crashed a bit earlier #Today (#MariaDB) .

Pretty hard.
I was able to get the container started again in recovery level 5 (which is ... not great, as I understand the docs...).

Going to to try and see if I can migrate to a #PostgreSQL instance.

And then I REALLY gotta see about those backups!
For REAL this time.
Really.
