Hey #Selfhost Enthusiasts, what is your way of #selfhosting your website? I wanna do that for my first time, but I'm a bit otherwhelmed by the possibilities.
My plan is kinda to have a webserver within podman and make it public via dynDNS on my router. I wanna do it on my Raspi 5, which is my only homeserver and I can’t separate my network yet. Do you have any advice for me? What should I keep in mind? What do you think about caddy? Repost appreciated :Blobhaj: Thank you.
#webhosting #selfhosted

I help a lot of small businesses save money by moving to self hosting solutions or $10usd/month on my server. These are businesses with brochure websites and don't really maximize the potential of local business seo, content seo, etc.

One thing I experience time and time again: GoDaddy deleting DNS records when the client calls to cancel their hosting, SSL, etc.

The client sees a GoDaddy parked page and panics.

What a terrible company to work with.

Someone (I guess a Russian "friend") is paying a botnet to try to guess my email password. 852 tries from 852 different IP addresses in the last few days. It doesn't really bother me, as I block these IP addresses after the first try for a long time, and my password is complex enough to keep his botnet busy for many years (and I change it regularly ;). This is unfortunately nothing new, this has been going on for at least a year now.

Continued thread

My servers and services are humming along nicely since quite some years that way. email server, web server, my Forgejo instance, uptime monitor, some little tools — all managed with a terminal and some shell scripts. The most expensive part of my #SelfHost setup are the domain names renewal fees ;)

@DismalManorGang If you #selfhost stuff, you probably have #nextcloud. It’s the rock solid foundation for so many selfhosted ecosystems. In that case Joplin supports WebDAV. So you don’t need a special Joplin server if you have a working Nextcloud server (I think). I am not a heavy #Joplin user. But I’ve used it enough to set it up this way.

It works fine for me, but since I’m not a power user, I don’t know if maybe there’s something that doesn’t work as well this way.

Für alle die ihre Produktgarantien im Auge behalten wollen und das Handbuch schnell zur Hand haben wollen, die sollten sich mal Warracker anschauen.

Ein Projekt zum selber hosten, das eine saubere Übersicht über deine Garantien bietet. Mit einfachen Zugriff auf Herstellerinfos, Anzeige wie lang die Garantie noch gültig ist, Handbuch etc...

Ich finde es schön gemacht und der Dev ist sehr freundlich :neocat_floof_cute:

Always wanted to #selfhost your #Fediverse instance but were always worried about system administration trauma?

Do you ever have to run around your flat, picking up all the leftover parentheses from yesterday's party with your hosting coop coworkers?

Then you are probably the right person, check out this post about fearless #Bonfire hosting on a #Guix System. You'll learn that taking care of a community is much more manageable when you let computer do the boring work for you.

Set up HTTPS, automatic backups, automatic nightly upgrades and join the awesome Bonfire community without a single worry on losing data from your instance.

@dannotdaniel @mgarvey My experience installing #PiHole an #RPi 3B was also painless. What took more effort was finding the right blocklists to add. As you can imagine, there are a set of long-lived sites to block as well as new ones that popup all the time. Some lists are very specialized (e.g., malware) and others more catchall. I have settled into a handful of lists that do a great job. Just to share, my hosts lists are in the pictures, attached. #selfhost #privacy

Something I thought was old and boring until I tried it for myself: #RSS

I especially like it in combination with a way to sync/backup your feeds, like #FreshRSS, which I'm self-hosting. It's duct taped together for now as I first wanted to try it out, but I'm liking it so far. I had seen those RSS buttons on websites for a while and I never had a way to use them. I guess that's the fun of self-hosting: you notice a problem, and you can always find a solution.
