Selfhosted

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.

<tap, tap, tap> Is this mic on?

With the loss of lemmy.fmhy.ml I decided I would add a Lemmy instance to my virtual server rack. This is a test send as much as anything.

First thoughts... The documentation and the example configs could possibly be a bit clearer. Not sure how I would reword them though. Also, there has got to be a better way for a smaller instance to begin seeing communities than browsing lemmyverse.net and then manually searching for the communities from your new instance.

You can use https://lemmy.world/c/lsbsupport to populate your server! Do notice, database size will grow, as per expected.

Following that link directly is giving me a server error, and it doesn't bring anything except up in search except your comment. Is there a particular way I'm supposed to use it?

Yeah the link seems dead. Don't know what the other guy was suggesting but I used lemmony, which works quite well despite being a bit on the clunky side.

The proper way to link is [email protected]

Welcome!
