I was trying to troubleshoot a home networking issue, and I plugged my laptop's Ethernet cable into the second bridge port. I thought it would recognize that the device wasn't a router and assign a local IP address behind a firewall. Nope. Windows was assigned an external one....
Hello all! I would like to address an issue that I find it a bit too little discussed: self-hosting your stuff without relying on any central services, whether you own them or not. Why go with this instead of choosing a cloud provider or a hoster or even a personally owned PC (desktop PC, laptop etc.) to host everything you...
As I'm sure some of you noticed, very shortly after Ernest posted the update to KBin that allowed for abandoned magazine adoption, I took over this magazine....
Good conversation here. I migrated from Duplicati/B2 to Kopia/B2, happy with it so far!
Not your typical selfhosting, but a very cool use case.
For those who enjoys craving a bit of a “nerdy feel” to your daily routine, have at it. Just slap this bad boy on any raspberry pi 4 with a touch screen, and enjoy your pseudo-reality at the cost of “almost nothing”. Steps on how to run it are included in the link @ title as always....
I have a QNAP NAS which uses RAID 5 across 3 HDDs. There are lots of good videos online for setting up RAID (even DIY solutions using linux), but how do I know when there's a problem and what's the typical way to maintain it?...
Hi Selfhosted,...
I know what most will say, I'm not supposed to be connecting to my home servers from my work computer. I get it....
Looking for creative ideas, and feeling xkcd.com/910 strongly here
Hey!...
Hey!...
I'm considering getting back to self-hosting again, but I remember a problem I never quite figured out....
Yesterday I followed the docker guide for setting up a new KBin instance. Some parts of it are working, but it seems like it's not federating properly....
For the last 6 months or so I’ve been working on Pinepods. I have never been able to find the perfect self-hosted podcast app that I wanted to use. podgrab’s player is rather lackluster and misses a lot of features that I would like....
I want to self host my own kbin instance. But dream host (my current host) doesn't let me do postgresql unless I get a dedicated server (very expensive). And I don't want to put it on my home machine because I want professional hosting....
I have a PC I have installed Portainer on, with various docker services (home assistant, jellyfin, etc..) with an ISP supplied router fixing various device IP addresses and reaching out to dyndns....
If you want to host your own genealogy tree all options were (are) fairly janky. Gramps.js is the best options in my opinion....
The Google Photos feature of finding photos of a specific person in your collection by their face is the key feature my wife really loves. Is there a self-hosted tool (ideally Synology NAS compaible) that gives similar functionally I could have more control over how it’s using/analyzing our photos, rather than needing to trust...
I have a synology NAS where I backup my photos to. What would be the most cost effective way to encrypt and back up this data without having to purchase another NAS and install it at a family member's house. It would be about 5 TB and would not touch the data unless my NAS completely takes a crap.
Hey self-hosted community! I thought I'd pose this question to you all as you seem to have a lot of experience with hosting things on limited budgets with usually a single person administering!...
Hey all...
I'm hoping to find a build list for a general home server/NAS. The goal is to have a server capable of running 2-3 VMs along with a handful of containers, act as a Plex server, and act as a NAS for media storage....
Hello, I’m trying to host my own kbin instance. Mainly for fun and to see if it will work but also because that kind of is the point of federation....
