Quite chuffed with myself.

I’ve set up a Virtual Private Server and managed to install GoToSocial, Nextcloud and Collabora Online.

I feel like a real techie!!

Did it for no other reason than I wanted to try something new.

The VPS cost me less than a fiver (I just did a month so I could try it out).

I’ve been using Nextcloud for a while, now I have my own instance.

Why?

Just because.

I might use GoToSocial for my journal. But again, I’ll test the waters and see where that goes.

I might even use it to document my self-hosting ‘journey’.

Love the new @ghost 5.118 update that came with #2FA verification feature for staff members! (finally)

New blogpost: "Installing Stirling-PDF for a suite of useful self-hosted, PDF-related tools"

I wrote this in November 2024 but, for some reason, I didn’t publish it. Oops.

#kompot #selfhosting collective finally made a move to switch over from #gitea to #forgejo

sysadmins @g1smo and @shtumf described a process as very smooth with a sole problem of a wrong last updated date on all of the projects.

We had this planned since the fork, we were following the process closely and stood firmly on forgejo side. We're still a few versions behind the latest. A big server update is planed for May, if we will manage to summon up the community

What #selfhosting option is there for memos, notes, tasks, and habits?

#nextcloud kind of sucks
#obsidian isn’t #foss
#logseq doesn’t sync and is vc funded

The magic of 22

December 22, 2024: I installed #GoToSocial on my Debian VPS thanks to #YunoHost → @elena

February 22, 2025: I installed #Ghost on my Ubuntu VPS using command lines (so many sudo commands!)

April 22, 2025: I upgraded my Debian VPS and installed #PeerTube!

Very excited about this new chapter in my #selfhosting adventures... and I need to find a worthy challenge for June 22

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 126 (good luck charm edition) ​

Good morning Fedi friends!

Yesterday I flew back to Paris and I’m spending the week at my in-laws' with my extended family… my little one still has one more week of school holidays. Working is a little difficult with so many people around (especially children) but I have a lofty goal for today: upgrading my VPS and installing #PeerTube.

The 22nd of the month has been my good luck charm in my self-hosting adventures. I installed #GoToSocial (this account) via #YunoHost on December 22nd, 2024. I successfully installed #Ghost on my Ubuntu VPS with command lines on February 22, 2025. Because of that, I will be saving 30€/month…

So in the spirit of #FOSS exploration, I find it fitting to upgrade my VPS today on April 22… and - my oh my! - install PeerTube via YunoHost… so that I can self-host my upcoming videos about the Fediverse.

The children are playing in the garden and I have about 30 minutes to do all that. Wish me luck!

Hey, self-hosting nerds, has anyone set up a server-side thing that scans incoming email, and when it contains a calendar invite, throws it on a calendar where I can accept or decline it (à la gmail)?

In my setup, I'm guessing it would be a sieve filter in dovecot/pigeonhole that extracts calendar attachments and forwards them to my CalDAV server. But I'm open.

Configure Postfix MTA for Use with #Mastodon Effortlessly (Effortless 5 Minute Guide) This article describes how to configure Postfix MTA for use with Mastodon server. Admins who self-host their Mastodon instances can easily configure Postfix MTA (possibly even to do so using the same VPS server) to handle the #email services.

Looking for some software to access/backup my files on a remote VPS. It has to be accessible by my girlfriend via an iPhone. I was hoping to utilise the iPhone's built in File browser, but hosting SMB share on the internet without a VPN barrier sounds like a bad idea. Furthermore, #NextCloud seems to be too bloated for what I need. I just want files. Hast anyone any recommendations? Has anyone tried ownCloud infinite scale?

There are very many #OpenSource projects I'd like to send money to.

Thank you for making so much great software. You make #selfhosting and #digitalsouvereignty possible.
