Edit: Thanks for all the great feedback and suggestions. I decided to create a new #VM in #Proxmox and install #Yunohost so I can try a few different options and see which ones I like and end up using to migrate my current accounts.
Edit 2:
Having #Yunohost behind #Pfsense #Haproxy is giving me trouble, not sure how to proxy_pass on it to avoid issues with double reverse proxy. I will try to run my instances directly from Docker and see if that goes better.
--- Original post
I am fairly new to the Fediverse, but have been in IT and homelab for over a decade, I am thinking or migrating from my current instances and just creating my own instances of Kbin and Mastodon for my personal use only.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Any reasons you would not recommend it?
Security concerns?
Besides Mastodon and Kbin, any other fediverses I should self-host (I thought of Lemmy but it seems I'd be able to subscribe and interact with it just fine through kbin. Also thought of peertube, but unsure or pros/cons since I have not yet even signed up on one of their instances).
Also, 1 shared VM for all of the instances, or 1 for each? I am considering if full VM or LXC, the LXC would be faster and consume less resources but I'm concerned with the security of the host.
Anyway, those are my thoughts, would like some feedback.
On this topic, I now stumbled upon Friendica, it seems it can federate with pretty much everything else, not sure about the Facebook kind of UI, but there seem to be different templates.
Anyone has experience with it? Pros or cons?
I've heard of it, and have long hoped for a reason to use it but if its meant to be a FB replacement I don't really use FB aside from a couple groups and I can't imagine any of my friends there wanting to join Friendica
@Trekman10 I get that, but it seems it federates with Mastodon, Lemmy, Diaspora, Peertube and many other platforms, kind of having one account to rule them all... LOL
