Self-hosting

This release introduces the most requested feature since the beginning of Immich; the ability to serve existing photos in a streamlined and easy-to-use manner. Not only that, this release packs a ton of other improvements that we hope you will like.

i wrote a blog post about setting up a compliant ejabberd server. i haven't really written something like this before so apologies if there are mistakes, i followed the guide myself on a clean server and it seems correct but as we all know 'works on my machine' is usually not enough

lightweight authentication server that provides an opinionated, simplified LDAP interface for authentication.

Can computing clean up its act? The industry consumes as much electricity as Britain—and rising

A bit expensive, but something like this could be a worthy upgrade on the good old PC-Engine APU4 boards many self-hosters use.

Hi friends! Is there a good alternative to a news + feeds aggregator such as Feedly? I need to monitor some RSS feeds and other sources such as blogs and websites. I tried installing feedpushr but it already struggled with importing some RSS feeds and doesn't do other sources, so I think I need something more flexible/powerful.

I have started setting up a server with three domains and three users using Yunohost, but I find it hard to get to work.

The documentation can be frustrating to go through and the community on the forum answers slowly or not at all (because due to the sparse documentation questions from beginners like me tend to touch similar topics I guess). A big part of the forum answers are in French, which I don't read very well.

All in all I have been trying very hard to like the project. The work done by the developers really deserves all my respect and I would love to remain involved, but trying to get Yunohost to work as a non-techie leaves me often desperate and looking for alternatives with a more active community or a more thorough documentation.

I'm a bit divided here. I like the project but I'm a half-techie stoopid who needs more support. What do? And what would be my alternatives on a Linux VPS? Especially if I don't want proprietary stuff?

This web application allows you to track your outdoor activities (workouts) from gpx files and keep your data on your own server.

I have been thinking about self-hosting lately. I've built and maintained my own simple websites, I've played a bit with raspberryPi and other boards, so I have some general idea. But I have just found out that I can not use my shared hosting to host a fediverse instance (or is there anything out there? My provider offers a Softaculous install of Hubzilla but it doesn't work). So I've looked into VPS, and into self-hosting at home. I'm concerned that the learning curve for managing one's own server might be rather more than I want to have to deal with right now. Is there a good tutorial or overview for half-dummies like me, so I can better gauge if this stuff is for me?

I'm looking for a customizable, resource-efficient Mastodon fork. Bonfire? Rebased? Or go non-Ruby, like Pleroma (nah), Misskey Calckey, indeed, Lemmy (hui)? Any experiences?

This is part of an endeavour to host w/ a RaspberryPi & solar power. It will be a device to mess around, test, and share experiences.

Potential features:

• tweaking network traffic in various ways
• media options: off, auto compression, auto delete
• monitoring server metrics, energy flow, sharing data through a bot
• auto-off when battery low, sad emoji

Re-posting this from Mastodon w/ minor edits, because Fediverse and potential cross-interaction. I probably should have posted here first and then shared the link on Mastodon, but it's a Mastodon question, so I did it the other way around. Still not sure what's the best way to do this though.

If there's interest I edit the post to include the server specs.
