#selfhosting

I asked some time ago, but then life took over priorities.

What do people use these days as #homeserver ?

I am running an old desktop PC, and an old Intel NUC, but they are both ~10 years old, and they are struggling for instance when Jellyfin decides it has to transcode something big.
I'm planning on buying something used, but I'm not thrilled by tiny form factors (I like to have more than one SATA disk) or huge gaming rigs.
PciE for GPU maybe?

What do you use?

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 93 ✨

Thanks to the brilliant advice of @CyberSaloperie I have found an easy-to-implement, no sweat solution for my redirect issue. I am about to create a test subdomain with #YunoHost to try it out before I make the real switch (from my current Ghost blog to the new, self-hosted one).

Maybe tomorrow I'll share with you the URL of my self-hosted Ghost blog if you want to try things out? 🙈 I have already imported my existing members, I'm ready to go 🚀

And yes, I'm fully aware the timing of my switch (from a Ghost Pro plan to self-hosted) is odd, considering Ghost Pro accounts are now part of the Fediverse. It's just that I couldn't justify spending so much ($31/month) on a free, non-monetized blog that I am capable of self-hosting. It's 6x the cost of my Debian or Ubuntu VPS.

And I kept getting close to the edge of 1000 members, which would have increased my monthly payments. Now I don't have to stress out about getting new readers. From what I understand #ActivityPub followers count as members for Ghost, so someone who gets a sizable following on their federated Ghost site would have to pay more.

I'm sure many people will love this feature (it's fantastic!) but it's not for me. I already have 3 federated Wordpress blogs and too many ActivityPub profiles as it is 🙃

As someone who has owned a Plex Lifetime pass forever, this truly pisses me off that they want to charge me to stream my content remotely from my own server. Guess it's the perfect time to switch to JellyFin. I'm in the process of migrating my media anyway, what's one more container?

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

Infrastructure & Networking

Security & Monitoring

Authentication & Identity Management

  • Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  • LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
    #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

Notifications & Development Workflow

  • Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
  • Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign#DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

  • Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
  • Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

Ok, so what is the fediverse's opinion on Bitwarden and Vaultwarden?

I was giving GrapheneOS a spin and since 1password doesn't have an FDroid app I spun up a vaultwarden docker and installed Bitwarden.

Functionally I like it, and it could be an alternative for my 2FA keys too.

Anything that I should be watching out for? Is there any gotchas that I'm missing?

I've got an old #cisco #ASA 5512-x laying around that I figured might come in handy some day.

My brother recently sent me an article to a fellow who got #opnSense running on it, and of course I had to bite.

It was almost too easy! I tracked down an ancient VGA to IDC connector, installed it on the motherboard, and then changed the BIOS around to boot from a thumbdrive. OpnSense installed without issue, and BAM I have a 7-port gigabit router with a #xeon processor, 8GB of DDR3 and a 128GB SSD.

I haven't tested yet, but supposedly these bad boys can push *almost* full line speed.

Not too bad for free! It appears these can be had online for under $50 all day long.

I discovered that I can share my Outlook work calendar as an #iCalendar subscription (with three levels of detail).

If I wanted to share this with my wife, I feel I need to parse and rewrite the feed so that it matches my (already shared) personal calendar. E.g., when work cal has out-of-office because I'm home, it should not show as "busy". Did people already build tools for this (that allow #SelfHosting)?
