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.

finally got static IP from a new ISP (lemmy.ca)

Hello folks,

I got my static IP and I am very happy now, I have been hosting a lot of services since I got the static IP, however I still have to host a fediverse service however it's not that easy to host any fediverse service, I tried to host GoToSocial but the devs said they don't support Podman and my server is podman only ( I tried installing docker but it was failing for some reason so I gave up and used podman instead of docker).

these are the services I am currently hosting ( basically all the easy services which you can host with just "docker compose up -d" :p ):

feel free to suggest some other cool services which I can host :D

meanwhile I'm on a dynamic ip that hasn't changed in 18 months

Most ISPs (especially smaller ones it seems) just run a basic DHCP server with leases expiring at a set interval. As long as your stuff is on and working when the lease renews, you'll pull the same IP forever.

As long as you don't want to run a mail server. DHCP ranges are cancer to ip reputation.

I'm pretty sure you don't want a mail server at home

I have 3 mail servers at home

My ISP blocks the ports needed for mail hosting :/

Pretty sure I'd have to go through them to get the rdns PTR records pointed at my domain too. PITA

Mine did too, all it took was a ticket to their helpdesk to get it unblocked

My local fiber provider doesn't advertise static IPs but they haven't changed my IP ever. I've been using them for going on 5 years

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Same, buts been several years now. Att fiber. Don't use their modem either (except post power outage to establish coms back then I remove it.) I do use a ddyns service just in case. But it's been the same ip for years
