#selfhosted

After six years of owning a server I finally put it on a UPS. My new residence has had more power outages in two years than my old residence of twelve years... Kinda freaked me out so I finally spent the money to be somewhat protected. #selfhosted #selfhosting

Fai un tempo pedín por aquí consello sobre que hardware adoitades empregar a xente que tedes aplicacións #SelfHosted.

Acabei chegando a conclusión de que un mini-PC #N100 podía ser boa opción.

Xa o teño comigo dende fai un tempo. Metinlle un #Debian e agora xórdeme outra dúbida: para despregar aplicacións en Docker, empregades #Docker ou por #Podman ?

Polo que leín Podman é máis seguro ao non depender de root, pero tamén parece ser que pode dar problemas con algúns temas. :blobthinking:

Oh joy, another *revolutionary* file converter that promises to change your life with its #open-source, self-hosted magic 🪄. Except, of course, it’s not quite ready, and you still have to learn how to set it up locally—because who doesn't love a good tech puzzle? 🤔 Just what the world needs, another "almost there" project with a Discord link. 🎉

Nextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Go)

lemmy.ml/post/28485942

lemmy.mlNextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Go) - LemmyAs Nextcloud [https://nextcloud.com/] advanced with progresses making it competitive in fully integrated government and corporate workflows, OpenCloud [https://opencloud.eu/en] is getting more and more attention. The fact, that both are collaborative cloud plattforms, designed to be selfhosted and mainly developed in/around Berlin from FOSS-Community-Surroundings, makes one ask about the differences. ### The main difference I see, is the software stack - Nextcloud, as a fork of ownCloud, kept the PHP code base and is still mainly developing in PHP - OpenCloud, also a fork of ownCloud, did a complete rewrite in Go [https://go.dev/] Until know, Nextcloud is far more feature complete (yes I know, people complain, they should fix more bugs instead of bringing new features) than OpenCloud, if we compair it with comercial cometitors like MS Teams. ### I like Nextcloud! I deploy it for various groups, teams, associations, when ever they need something where they want to have fileshare, calendar, contacts and tasks in one place. Almost every time, when I show them the functionality of Nextcloud Groups an the sharing-possibilities, people are thrilled about it, because they didn’t expect such a feature rich tool. Although I sometimes wish it would be more performant and easier to maintain, so non-tech-people could care for their hosting themselves. ### Why OpenCloud? Now, with OpenCloud, I am asking my self, why not just contribute to the existing colab-cloud project Nextcloud. Why do your own thing? ### Questions So here I expect the Go as a somewhat game-changer (?). As you may have noticed, that I am not a developer or programmer, so maybe there are obvious advantages of that. - Will OpenCloud, at some point, outreach Nextclouds feature completeness and performance, thanks to a more modern approach with Go? - Will Nextcloud with their huge php stack run into problems in the future, because they cant compete with more modern architectures? - If you would have to deploy a selfhosted cloud environment for a ~500 people organization lasting long term: Would you stick to the goo old working php stack or see possible advantages in the future of the OpenCloud approach? Thanks :)

nfty.sh is super cool. I'm self-hosting it on my Tailscale/Headscale network.

Since the headnet isn't public-facing, I can send notifications from any supported service on my headnet without needing access tokens or authentication that would otherwise make things dodgy. It's as simple as sending a curl request to the nfty server.

I run the nfty service and access the dashboard on my Linux workstation. In the dashboard, I'm subscribed to four Borgmatic topics for the devices Borgmatic runs. If Borgmatic fails on any device, it will push a notification to the topic, which I can view in the dashboard.

Argh! I thought it would be easy and simple to set up a #selfhosted web server and create a small site to enter inventory data, save to a database and display it in a report from. But no, hours spent just trying to figure out what to use. Ugh

It is my considered opinion that all software meant for self-hosting should offer built-in authentication.

I wanted to self host a spreadsheet software and, three days later, find myself configuring an OIDC IdP. This is not something I want to be doing.
