Selfhosted

40006 readers

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.

My self hosted instance works in every way for federation, the test curl commands return JSON, I can comment and invite on another federation, and I can retrieve comments and posts by search.

My current problem is my instance does not appear to get updates from other servers when new comments are made. Is there any other troubleshooting or recommended configuration changes I should do?

For context, I am hosting my instance through kurbenetes using nginx-ingress.

Do you have at least one user who is subscribing to these communities? You'll need that.

I am subscribing but they all show pending subscription, which I read doesn't matter usually but a first time setup private instance I was thinking that it might.

Probably want to avoid federation with lemmy.ml right now.

I avoided lemmy.ml since I read some controversy with admins of it, does having it not blocked but not pulling from it cause any issues?

I am not 100% sure since I am still getting up to speed on all this, but I belive there is a bug where its not updating correctly and that is causing posts/votes/mods to not federate correctly. You could block and test to see if that helps.
