Selfhosted

59814 readers
671 users here now

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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

MODERATORS
 

@hybridsarcasm@lemmy.world has not replied to me (or anyone according to his profile) after that last bit about making me and @ayyy@sh.itjust.works mods, so I'm going to go ahead and work on holding down the fort. Its a bit of a hectic weekend for me with activities for my kids, so you may see some post activity being restored or other such things in no particular order.

So who am I?

Well, I'm a specialist consultant by day, and an avid self-hoster. Off the top of my head, I host:

  • Jellyfin
  • An over-complicated *arr stack to suit my particular tastes of media management
  • Prometheus+Loki+Grafana for my monitoring stack
  • Home Assistant
  • Personal website
  • Immich
  • MagicMirror
  • ROMM for that fun emulation on the go
  • Kavita (mostly because I keep forgetting to change the url on my wife's phone for the other OPDS server) & Calibre (the other OPDS)
  • Local AI models for testing purposes mostly
  • Endurain for my post-Strava life
  • Various stuff for utility for SSO, LDAP, databases, MQTT, so on and so forth

Predominantly running on Proxmox as LXCs, with some docker here and there. So pretty much the same as a lot of you, just another *selfhoster (edit: WHOOPS! I a whole word there, now fixed)

Moderation Style

Lets call it "light touch". I'm pretty sure everyone here is more than capable of handling most things with the appropriate votes - we've seen this with the recent thread that resulted in this moderation change. In case you couldn't also guess from my home instance, I'm a firm believer in people being able to regulate themselves, so as far as I'm concerned that means the rules themselves can be up for discussion as well. As this community is on lemmy.world, of course that means the TOS here must be respected.

There are people on both sides of the keyboards, so please be respectful of others.

The one thing that I just do not tolerate is bigotry.

And finally, feel free to send me a message to address any issues! So lets have some fun with self-hosting.

Edit: Added a direct link to the Lemmy.world TOS for clarity. This community is on Lemmy.world and subject to its terms, as managed by the admin team.

Got it, I'll look into things there and reach out

I'm still waiting on the LW team, could be a few days before I can do much more than the basics here...

Thanks. So far you seem like exactly the kind of person needed, I really appreciate all the thoughtful engagement already (not to me specifically, but with the community)
