Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services.

What are some things I can try and will benefit me while I have this 1 yr free trial?...

So, I'm trying to set up a self-hosted mastodon instance, and of course this requires an email service. Self hosting one is not an option, because of anti-spam stuff, or so everyone says. The recommendations are to use services like mailgun or postmark, but there's one thing I don't really understand:...

What are the most promising projects/services aiming at making self hosting easier for everyone?

Good morning y'all, so I have a server pc that I've been slowly adding bits and pieces to for about a year now. It started off as a barebones board with a nvme on it, and has slowly developed into a Plex box and game server host box....

Looking to build my first server out, trying to figure out if there is a "better" platform for my needs. Right now I'm just planning a mix of machines and containers in Proxmox for running a NAS and Plex server, router of some sort (also, any preferences on wireless access points?), a pihole if that's not just as easily done in...

I plan to selfhost nextcloud, for now just for bookmark sync. is there a point to installing a vpn on the computer running the instance? it shouldnt matter as long as i have https right? what about if i dont have a domain? i cant have https without a domain (ill buy one later just want everything to work first). or maybe use one...

My new overnight job unfortunately comes with a mandatory 1-hour lunch break (sitting destroys my back, and I'd also rather be earning money if I have to be there anyway), so I end up looking at random shit on my phone. I forget where I saw it, but I recently got reminded of those apps that let you completely catalog your...

Hey selfhosters,...

I'm kind of tired of Nextcloud because it's using so many resources on my server and I'm only using it for calendar and address book for two users. So I'm looking for alternatives, what do you use (only self hosted) and how do you like it?

Question is in the title, I am a fan of a channel and would like to automatically connect to the swarm and support the broadcast even if I am not watching live. I seem to remember a project that ran in docker and kind of acted like a cdn node for a channel, but I can't find it now. Anyone know of such a solution?

Some background:...

Hello selfhosters....

Does anyone know of a service (ideally docker image - probably with app) that can be used to securely share family pictures?...

Is self-hosted enough to avoid push notifications going through Apple and Google servers?

This guide shows you how to create a DDNS-like system using Cron and a shell script. Creating your own removes the reliance on third-party DDNS providers like No-IP. I thought I'd share it here since DDNS is essential for self-hosting....

Hi everyone!...
