I'll be doing a self-hosting workshop at FOSSY 2024 tomorrow.

Details: https://2024.fossy.us/schedule/presentation/219/

If you bring a book, I'll sign it.

If you're stuck getting started with your homelab, see https://selfhostbook.com/videos/ . Any suggestions on other videos I might create? Should I stick with short and sweet, or do something longer? How much longer?

Kinda proud of this, so forgive me while I brag. I found a likely "phone home" tracking image in DocuSeal. I searched around: there was an extant issue about the image. I asked the devs: would they accept a PR to remove the image? A maintainer responded quickly that they were not interested in a PR to remove it, so I forked it in minutes with my tiny hack, built a new Docker image and re-deployed to my server after making a one-line change in a Docker Compose file.

Here's the hack: https://github.com/meonkeys/docuseal/commit/e710678d

Happy to share my compose config as well if folks are interested.

I do want to put in a plug for DocuSeal: they made an excellent thing. It's a fast and beautiful app for adding signatures to PDFs, similar to DocuSign or HelloSign, but awesomely AGPL licensed and easy to self-host. I got it running in minutes and it worked very well. I support what they're doing and I want to see them succeed. OpenSign looks cool too but I haven't tried that one yet.

So yeah. Self-hosting and FOSS FTW!
