Greetings, self-hosting enthusiasts and welcome to the Selfhosted group on Lemmy! I am Fimeg, your tour guide through the labyrinth of digital change. As you're likely aware, we're witnessing a considerable transformation in the landscape of online communities, particularly around Reddit. So let's indulge our inner tech geeks and dive into the details of this issue, and explore how we, as a self-hosting community, can contribute to the solution. The crux of the upheaval is a policy change from Reddit that's putting the existence of beloved third-party apps, like Reddit is Fun, Narwhal, and BaconReader, in jeopardy. Reddit has begun charging exorbitant fees for API usage, so much so that Apollo is facing a monthly charge of $1.7 million. The ramifications of these charges have resulted in an outcry from the Reddit community, leading to a number of subreddits planning to go dark in protest. These actions have pushed many users to seek out alternative platforms, such as Lemmy, to continue their digital explorations. The migration to Lemmy is especially significant for us self-hosters. Third-party applications have long been a critical part of our Reddit experience, offering unique features and user experiences not available on the official app. As members of the Selfhosted group on Lemmy, we're not just bystanders in this shift - we have the knowledge, skills, and power to contribute to the solution. One of the ways we can contribute is by assisting with the archiving efforts currently being organized by r/datahoarder on Reddit. As self-hosting enthusiasts, we understand the value of data preservation and have the technical acumen required to ensure the wealth of information on Reddit is not lost due to these policy changes. So, while we navigate this new territory on Lemmy, let's continue to engage in productive discussions, share insights, and help to shape the future of online communities. Your decision to join Lemmy's Selfhosted group signifies a commitment to maintain the spirit of a free and open internet, a cause that is dear to all of us. Finally, in line with the spirit of the original Reddit post, if you wish to spend money, consider supporting open-source projects or charities that promote a free and accessible internet. With that, let's roll up our digital sleeves and embark on this new journey together. Welcome to the Selfhosted group on Lemmy!

I know it's a rude question, but it's been on my mind… I'm wondering roughly what I should be expecting to outlay when I finish my set-up? So I'm assuming it includes things like domain names, hosting for backups, email providers, VPN, etc. What's a good budget to set?

This morning I was going through my usual routine of doing a docker pull and I saw that Paperless had an update. Upon checking the Github, I noticed that my version was a lot older than what's currently available. After a bit of digging, I realised that Linux Server deprecated their repository. Cool, no worries, let me switch to the new repository. I delete my Paperless and run the installer on the official repository and all was going perfectly. But I had a power cut. No worries, I go to the fuse box, reset the tripped switch and then manually pull in the Paperless directory to finish the installation. Only problem, I can't get it to work. I assume that something fucked up and so delete everything and try again. Only now, when it gets to creating the yaml files it says "no permission". I check the permissions and they're the same as everything else. Anyone got any idea of what's happening or how to fix it?

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/8966140 Zoraxy describes itself as: > "General purpose request (reverse) proxy and forwarding tool for networking noobs. Now written in Go!". Yet it seems to be packed with goodies and features, such as Geo-IP & Blacklist, ZeroTier controller integrated GAN, IP Scanner, Real Time Stats and even built in Uptime monitor. Addtionally, it can run via a single binary for those who don't want to rely on Docker. There is also an Unraid Template available from IBRACORP. Lastly the project is under the AGPL license 🌻 I also checked, and saw this was recommended on this community [9months ago](https://photon.slrpnk.net/post/slrpnk.net/1252339), but didn't seem to get much attraction then. Has anyone tried this yet? It seems like a good alternative to say NGINX proxy manager and am wondering if I should switch, but wanted to hear thoughts first! [Zoraxy's Github](https://github.com/tobychui/zoraxy) list the following features: ### Features - Simple to use interface with detail in-system instructions - Reverse Proxy (HTTP/2) - Virtual Directory - WebSocket Proxy (automatic, no set-up needed) - Basic Auth - Alias Hostnames - Custom Headers - Redirection Rules - TLS / SSL setup and deploy - ACME features like auto-renew to serve your sites in http**s** - SNI support (one certificate contains multiple host names) - Blacklist / Whitelist by country or IP address (single IP, CIDR or wildcard for beginners) - Global Area Network Controller Web UI (ZeroTier not included) - TCP Tunneling / Proxy - Integrated Up-time Monitor - Web-SSH Terminal - Utilities - CIDR IP converters - mDNS Scanner - IP Scanner - Others - Basic single-admin management mode - External permission management system for easy system integration - SMTP config for password reset # [Screenshots](https://github.com/tobychui/zoraxy/wiki/Screenshots)                  

My journey with docker started with a bunch of ill fated attempts to get an OpenVPN/qBittorrent container running. The thing ended up being broken and never worked right, and it put me off of VPN integration for another year or so. Then recently I found [Gluetun](https://hub.docker.com/r/qmcgaw/gluetun)…and holy fucking cow. This thing is the answer to every VPN need I could possibly think of. I have set it up with 3 different providers now, and it has been more simple and reliable than the clients made by the VPN providers themselves every time. If you combine the power of Gluetun with the power of [Portainer](https://hub.docker.com/r/portainer/portainer-ce), then you can even easily edit settings for your existing containers and hook them up to a VPN connection in seconds (or disconnect them). Just delete the forwarded ports in the original container, select the Gluetun container as the network connection, and then forward the same ports in Gluetun. Presto, you now have a perfectly functioning container connected to a VPN with a killswitch. So if any of y’all on the high seas have considered getting more serious about your privacy, don’t do what I did and waste a bunch of time on a broken container. Use Gluetun. Love Gluetun. Gluetun is the answer.

I'm looking into hosting one of these for the first time. From my limited research, XMPP seems to win in every way, which makes me think I must be missing something. Matrix is almost always mentioned as the de-facto standard, but I rarely saw arguments why it is better than XMPP? Xmpp seems way easier to host, requiring less resources, has many more options for clients, and is simpler and thus easier to manage and reason about when something goes wrong. So what's the deal?

A few years ago I turned a pine64 rock64 SBC into a kodi box, and saw immediate performance improvement over the stock Roku chip on my TCL TV when streaming from SMB. As always "better" becomes... ehhhhh I want more. I want to stick with an SBC because of power consumption on a box that I'm going to leave running 24/7. So my question is: What's the best price to video performance SBC out there?

More or less title. The idea is, one can already excise the corporation social media somewhat, or limit their reach into your content, if you self-host your social media (or at least if you participate in the Fediverse, say on Mastodon Lemmy etc) and instead link or cross post to corporate ones such as say Twitter or Discord. But I'm looking for something to self-host that is better geared to do this with small *snippets* of text that (mostly) stand by themselves. Something that would fit in a original!tweet or even smaller and would not have much use for the "conversation workflow" UI of corporate social media. The two use cases I'm aiming for are: * instead of posting something creative directly on eg.: Reddit or Discord (by which in the latter it would get locked and lost in that blackhole), I just post it in $THINGY and then link it on Reddit / Discord. That way I also retain license. * having a "local" archive of my comments on various stuff that I can tag, query or consult on, or even easily share with other people. At first I thought "maybe what I'm looking is micro-blogging" but on second thought it feels like I'm looking for something even smaller than that? I'm not at all sure, so I thought to ask around here what would you guys self-host for this kind of thing or if it's even a Thing. Cheers.

Preferably a docker image, but given the instructions, I could build an image. Any suggestions on the best practises are also welcome. Like the type of server (VM/Swarm/K8s) etc.

Lately I've been really liking the idea of having something hosted on a RISC-V machine. RISC-V is a non-proprietary instruction set that is a competitor to ARM. The idea of having a something running on an open source operating system, running on an open standard CPU, served from my house, gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. I was under the impression that most Linux distributions were unstable on RISC-V. Turns out, I'm wrong about that. From a quick search, the following have official Debian images: * [Beagleboard Beagle-V Ahead](https://www.beagleboard.org/boards/beaglev-ahead) * [Starfive Visionfive 2](https://ameridroid.com/products/visionfive-2) * [Milk-V Mars](https://milkv.io/mars) and the [Pine64 Star64](https://pine64.com/product-category/star64/) has a community-maintained Armbian image. Does anyone here have a RISC-V single-board computer doing anything practical for you?

Does someone know how to get listed? I configured the admin settings to be a public instance AFAIK... [https://lemmyverse.net/?query=lemmy.tellyou.social](https://lemmyverse.net/?query=lemmy.tellyou.social)

I was thinking maybe about trying a Proxmox cluster across 6 nodes, and using containers for the Jellyfin media streaming stack here:  For storage, I have two 4tb drives, and I'd like to have them separated across two different nodes, but mirrored and preferably auto fail-over. Thoughts? Ideas?

I'm dangerously close to running out of space for my VMs on local-lvm, but noticed I have a lot of free space in my local storage where I only have a dozen ISOs stored. Can anybody help me figure out how I'd go about shrinking the local storage so I can extend my local-lvm?

Hi all, I am in the process of setting up authentik and had the thought of setting up an intranet email for it. The idea is that I could set up a very simple email server and client that would only work on my home network to manage email notifications, passwords, etc from all my self hosted applications (proxmox, gitea, etc). It wouldn’t need to communicate with the outside world, only users of my intranet. Have you done something like this? Any particular tools or advice? I know about other options like the proton SMTP bridge but this seemed more fun!

I've been wanting to set up a small game server on my home network for myself and a few friends lately. Nothing I haven't done before - except the part where I open it up to the internet for people outside of my home network to play on. So I tried setting up a small web server to test out the port forwarding functionality of my router. Darkhttpd, running on a spare Raspberry Pi, works fine on the local network. After digging through the web interface, I find out that using IPv4 isn't an option because of how my ISP tunnels network traffic (sth sth Dual-Stack Lite)—fine by me, in 2024 we should be using IPv6 anyway. So I go and open up port 80 in my router's web interface. This is where the problem begins. Everything looks fine, but I don't have ready access to a network outside of my own to check if the port is actually accessible from the internet. An online [IPv6 open port checker](https://port.tools/port-checker-ipv6/) I found tells me the ports are visible and that my ISP isn't blocking anything. Trying to bind a domain that I had lying around to my IP address, however, has resulted in failure. I have no idea how to debug this. I'm pretty sure there's some issue on the DNS Server end, but I can't even tell if the rest of what I'm trying to do is working. And if it is, I have no idea of how to go about fixing the DNS thing. Update: I got a friend to test it, and the web page is accessible from the internet. Problem lies with the DNS server Update 2: After contacting my friend again for a sanity check, it seems that the DNS server works fine and my test website can indeed be reached through my domain—it's just that *I* can't reach it. Update 3: After poking at various DNS servers, it appears that the Mullvad DNS servers which I use don't regularly update their records. I've now switched to Cloudflare. My router similarly implements some caching solution that, after much tinkering, I was unable to flush. For the time being I've just decided to fuck doing this properly and directly edit my `/etc/resolv.conf` with the Cloudflare DNS servers. If I ever manage to get this working properly, I will add a final update, but for the time being, I will consider it solved.

I want to mirror my YouTube channel somewhere. Im looking for something like PeerTube but only for a single channel. Does that exist?

Hello, i have a printer and scanner connected to a rpi 3b+ so everyone (at home) can access them through wifi. Now the scanner is a CanoScanLide 400, which is powered though USB. This didn't seem to be an issue with the raspberry, but recently i had to re-plug everything and now the scanner isn't turning on with the raspberry anymore. Does anyone have a suggestion for something low cost that is similar in size and power consumption and can support a usb powered device? (Ideally also with wifi 5ghz, since this is the last device connected to the 2.4ghz)
