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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

IIRC, I've read comments elsewhere that pictrs caches for 6 months, but I can't independently verify. I hope this gets a broader answer because I'm still on the fence about getting an instance set up for myself and some small communities.
I believe the activity table in Postgres is retained for 6 months (although I’m purging mine daily) and the pict-rs cache is 168 hours (1 week).
I knew I read something was kept for 6 months ;)
Glad to see that even here, the best way to get the right answer on the internet is to provide a wrong one.
Nothing has made me more hopeful of lemmy’s future than this.
Only 1 week? That should be fine. Thanks!
I was starting to sweat a little because my instance, that only I use, already has 600MB of pictures after less than 24 hours. The server has more than enough space, but I still wouldn't like it. A week is far more swallow-able.
How do you purge daily? Also, does that delete any post history or anything in a similar vein?
I’m running the following SQL, although I’m not actually sure it’s as necessary since 0.18.3. It doesn’t delete any post history or anything.
Related note, pictrs is super cool. Its like an OSS imgur backend, but no one really talks much about it or its potential.
