Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Ok, back to meme school for you

Yeah, the format is that she repeats the second panel on the fourth panel, with more question marks and concern. This version is almost like explaining the joke here.

Is there a community for gently abused memes that I can post this to?

This is my favorite Star Trek episode, too. Ruined.

I feel like that page needs to allow scrolling and just tile that image forever in all directions.

Isn't selfhosted started by the same dude that started lemmy.world? Meaning it really is selfhosted? πŸ€”

Actually an instance dedicated to self hosted stuff would be great. We could have communities specifically for things like home lab, media hosting (Plex, Jellyfin, Emby), unRAID, TrueNAS, shit posting, hardware discussions, general conversations, etc.

This would reduce the strain on lemmy.world and give us all a dedicated home for more niche topics without posts getting buried

[–] Takuwalker@lemmy.fmhy.ml 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Something like selfhost.edu/c/jellyfin or self.host is a great name too, if I was in the position to do it I would haha

Considering how overloaded lemmy.world is right now, a pi in someone's basement would be better, and besides, centralization is bad. Federation is what prevents lemmy from becoming the next Twitter.

[–] Psilves1@programming.dev 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Literally just left lemmy.world because of how brutally slow it's been

My favorite part is when it finally becomes somewhat less overloaded, and my instance gets flooded with a bunch of posts from there filling the entirety of my front page, and the second page...

In terms of an optimal load spread, it's best if the lemmiverse is split into multiple equally sized instances. If you use an instance just for yourself, it doesn't actually decrease the load on the main servers in any way. The only thing you get is a guarantee that your instance won't suddenly go down.

[–] Toine@sh.itjust.works 40 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Suddenly going down seems to be a constant in my self hosted services though...

[–] cypherix93@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

ayo gurl lemme go down on your stack

Bow chicka bow wow

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you use an instance just for yourself, it doesn’t actually decrease the load on the main servers in any way.

That's not completely true. Yeah, it still loads another server a bit, but the server-to-server federation traffic is much more lightweight than the client-to-server traffic that would be involved with you having an account on that server and accessing it that way.

But yeah, multiple, equally-sized communities on different instances is the ideal situation. The only sticky part right now is FOMO because you'd have to constantly watch for new SelfHosted communities and join them. Hopefully some frontend tools come along soon to make joining/managing multiple communities like that more streamlined.

[–] Strive7307@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 years ago

Yes, ideally youβ€˜d want to have a few large communties on each instance and not all topics with a single userbase on one. This not only decreases the load but also prevents scenarios in which a single admin starts to capsule their instance with a large userbase away from the federation.

I wanna self-host my own instance so I have more control over my data.

[–] rcmaehl@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

I'm going to self host my own instance so I can have a cool username

[–] andreluis034@lm.put.tf 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What kind of "control" do you mean? Your posts/comments get replicated across all the other instances. You can't really "guarantee" a delete, since the other instances might just ignore your request for delete.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 14 points 2 years ago

By control, I mean I can back up my data and ensure my comments, subscribed communities, messages, etc are all available to me no matter what, I don't have to rely on some external third-party managing it for me.

Yes, but we're currently evolving into a situation where everything is centralized around Lemmy.world

Also the assurance that your home instance won't be suddenly federated from one of the major ones

Well, did you self host this meme?

[–] abraham_linksys@sh.itjust.works 36 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I laughed but I dunno about you guys but I don't publicly self host anything. If you can't auth via ssh or VPN then you're not accessing a damn thing from my home network. I've got multiple routers that I could set up some isolation with but it's just too close to home.

[–] muffin@reddthat.com 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Can't get hacked if all your services are down because you can't get those cocksuckingmothershitbitchingassbastard routing tables right 🀯

Same here.

A tasker script automatically connects my phone to the Wireguard tunnel as soon as I disconnect from my home WiFi too, so I always have access to my services. It's seamless, if I'm streaming music from Airsonic to my phone, and jump on my bike and take off, I don't even skip a beat on playback.

Shameless self-insert, if you want a new instance, try mine! https://lemmings.world, it's a general-purpose instance and everyone's welcome!
