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.

Every time I try to access this community, ther's some kind of problem with the server. If you have a look at the status page, it's almost all orange/red. The problem aren't DDoS attack since the server is behind Cloudflare protection. Admin/mods, why don't you move this community to a different ~~server~~ instance? I'm not accusing anybody, I know that maintain a server can be a challenging sometimes, I just want to enjoy this community!

Please!

And what would moving the server to another server solve according to you?

Moving to a more stable instance means that I can access this community!

As long as the DDoS goes on, the instance itself has no influence whatsoever, aside from kernel hardening.

It is not a matter of just switching the server.

Edit: and you have no clue of the work involved in keeping lemmy.world up and running while DDoS attacks are performed.

Either run your own or join one of the smaller instances.
