Hello folks,

I got my static IP and I am very happy now, I have been hosting a lot of services since I got the static IP, however I still have to host a fediverse service however it's not that easy to host any fediverse service, I tried to host GoToSocial but the devs said they don't support Podman and my server is podman only ( I tried installing docker but it was failing for some reason so I gave up and used podman instead of docker).

these are the services I am currently hosting ( basically all the easy services which you can host with just "docker compose up -d" :p ):

Invidious: https://invidious.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org/
Qbittorrent ( web ui )
TheLounge
XMPP server: https://chat.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org/

feel free to suggest some other cool services which I can host :D

I use syncthing for some of my "can-never-lose-these" files. syncthing synchronizes files between different devices. This is not an online-file-hosting thing like Google Drive or OneDrive. These files are physically present on all synchronized devices.

My server is the "main" (you can make everyone equal) syncthing every other syncthing connects to. With an established connection, files will be synchronized on participating devices. AFAIK, syncthing is compatible with Windows, Android and Linux.

This way, my important files are on my server, my smartphone, my PC and my laptop and every single one of these devices must simultaniously explode for me to lose my data. Also, it's on docker hub

pi-hole is another great one. Local adblocker for the whole network, just set it as your DNS server or let the DHCP server propagate this DNS server to your clients. This too is on docker hub

Just make sure you make a backup from your syncthing clones, so an accidental delete/mess-up on one machine doesn't wipe out every copy!

Enable file versioning in Syncthing. Then you will have a backup copy of every change for however long you set it to keep them.

Yeah, I do daily VM-backups which include all of the data on syncthing. No matter what you have, you always gotta have a good backup-strategy.
