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.

Hey. I really like the idea of the fediverse and Lemmy and would want to know as a beginner/not so experienced regarding selfhosting what would be the best way to get started? I saw there are vps options, but don't know of I'm looking in the right direction.

I have mine running on the cheapest arm Hetzner instance, working well so far

Oh, Hetzner has ARM machines now? Very nice. Guess I should finally move at least my mail server to ARM.

Yes, only in ~~Frankenstein~~ Falkenstein though. Which isn't a big deal if you're EU based anyway

Frankenstein is the name of the doctor, not the name of the monster

oh no, that'll teach me for using LanguageTool!

I didn't know Lemmy could run on arm architecture. Is your installation with docker?

[–] jjakc@lemthony.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, with the Ansible method. I tried the docker method, but it really didn't want to work for me.

If you go the Ansible way though make sure you're using a Debian 11 based OS

Hosting on Ubuntu 22.04, worked a charm with Ansible. Docker was a mess, couldn't figure it out.
