I may have started digging in the #graylog rabbit hole…
#selfhosting #logs

Okay, call me crazy (you might be right...) but I'm pretty excited about this. I'm looking at self hosting my own jellyfin chromecast receiver.

When you cast video, the actual webapp that loads inside your tv is hosted somewhere on the internet (it's not a built-in component running from your local jellyfin install) because it's gotta be internet facing and registered with Google (it's a whole thing for chromecast receivers in general.)

It's actually remarkably straightforward to setup a local instance of this receiver, it's just a nodejs app that'll need a HTTPS endpoint.

Next step is I need to register a new cast app and add it into my local jellyfin instance and I should be able to get it working in our tv... To what end, I hear you ask? I wanna get some kind of logging/monitoring set up so I can diagnose an issue I've been having the last week or so I'm hoping to integrate OpenTelemetry

For the past 10+ years I've been using ZFS (FreeNAS/TrueNAS). For some reason, I only recently started using snapshots…THEY ARE AMAZING. So this is your reminder that if you're using ZFS, use snapshots.

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 128 (a bit Clueless edition) ​

Bonjour Fedi friends!

I'm having a really interesting week: 4 adult caretakers in a house with 3 little children... as I admitted to someone on here, self-hosting is FAR easier than being a referee in fights about LEGOs ​

Now, whenever the cousins are busy playing in the garden, I try to do a bit of work, namely: figuring out #PeerTube from the POV of a self-hoster.

Yesterday I finally understood how I could create a user account (other than "root" - the superuser created during the PeerTube installation).

Today I'm busy trying to solve another problem: how do you tell your followers you've moved to a new instance? Because yes, PeerTube is powered by #ActivityPub, but it doesn't support the MOVE function.

I rarely posted on my MakerTube account and only have 150 subscribers, who followed me when reading about it on my blog post about PeerTube.

But I have to admit, the whole "following" thing is really convoluted on PeerTube because you can follow an entire account or specific channels. And I'm a little lost regarding how I notify my followers about the change.

If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears!

Oh and some news for you first... here is my new PeerTube home: https://videos.elenarossini.com/a/ele/video-channels

Special thanks to ​
@yunohost
for empowering me to set up my own instance ​

Short announcement as we approach the end of the week -- 'This Week in Self-Hosted' is officially being rebranded to 'Self-Host Weekly'.

I discuss the rationale a bit in the linked post, but ultimately, it's an attempt to distance myself from the many 'This Week in <topic>' publications that currently exist.

#Selfhosters people, do you have a centralized log management in place (like graylog or other)?

Packaging geniale, che si trasforma in un supporto per creare un piccolo NAS, e CPU interessante (ma N100 non avrebbe garantito migliore efficienza e prestazioni praticamente analoghe?) per la nuova versione di Zimaboard.
Purtroppo l'alimentazione da USB C e la RAM espandbile rimangono esclusiva di Zimablade.
E quel design?

trying out @opensuse #MicroOS for my home server!

lots of new things to learn!

"Setting up Anubis to protect cgit from AI crawlers"
https://sysrq.in/en/article/cgit-with-anubis.md

This is my new attempt at writing a useful guide! In the article I try to explain my current configuration for running cgit (or any other CGI application) with Anubis.

The guide suggests using uWSGI to serve CGI, with Nginx being a reverse proxy.

I like this infographic, but it only shows hosted solutions.

I want a comprehensive Roll Your Own solution I can run at home using my Fibre Internet and my own Server.

I dream of building such a software package but don't yet have the ability...

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, @testman 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

Using #trilium #memos #baikal #beaverhabits now

Does anyone know of any project that lets you mirror your issues from code forges (such as Github, Codeberg, etc.) to a self-hosted list of some sort?

I can do something rudimentary with RSS feeds (both Github and Codeberg lets you subscribe to all user actions) and grepping for "issue", but what I would like to see is something that would also mirror associated tags and closed/open status, ...

Just putting the idea out there.

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!

E serve solo a farsi del male.

How about some #selfhosting on a #wii ? Apparently #NetBSD has great support for the platform.
