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.

This sounds like a fun project to be honest. Are there any risks involved by getting bad content through federation that’s out of your control?

Just a week or so ago I read an article about a guy running a tor exit node personally and being held responsible for the traffic

Yeah, I definitely have a lot to learn in terms of self-hosting self-defense.

What are you running for your firewall? I've been curious about self hosting a Lemmy instance (currently have a few services like Plex, Minecraft, pihole, etc) but do worry about security

Is e-mail working properly for you?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. I have a residential connection with a dynamic IP, so the trick for me was to use an SMTP relay with a trustworthy provider. That said, I don't really use it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

i did the same thing using fastmail but the emails either come not at all or super delayed, would you mind sharing your provider?

Great work!

You did it! Hello, and welcome to the club. Lemmy has been my first foray into hosting a site on a VPS and it's been quite the rabbit-hole; for the better of course. I hope you have fun.
