Is there a really solid tutorial on getting a Mastodon server up and running (on a VPS or self-hosted at home) that someone could recommend? Interested in running a single-user/small instance long-term.
Check out the #Faircamp webring for 52 different #SelfHosted sites full of #FairtradeMusic - some free, some paid, some available elsewhere, some exclusive...
Normally you use a separate AP to do that. BSDs don’t normally have good support for WiFi cards. Consumer WiFi cards aren’t really meant for use as APs anyway.
Chciałem wam polecić aplikację #Audiobookshelf jest ona plex-em ale dla audiobooków. Używam jej przede wszystkim z moimi nie technicznymi rodzicami. Chociaż mieszkamy oddzielnie mogę w łatwy sposób kupić im i przekazać do przesłuchania audiobook-a, bo ma klientów na ios i android.
I've been buying these little boxes from AliExpress for years to use as firewalls and routers. My oldest one is almost 9 years old now! OpenBSD installs just fine. Just a BIOS tweak to always boot up after power is restored.
Openwrt works great for gigabit networks with simple firewall rules and no IPS. But used 10-56gbps enterprise equipment is getting pretty cheap, and more complicated firewall configurations need more powerful hardware than the typical openwrt router.
And 56gbps on a home LAN might be overkill, but that’s not important.
I've been thinking for a long time on setting up a VPS to self host some services but lack of time and energy to do it properly (as this post describes) is blocking me.
Yet, I'm also more inclined to share the load in a coop fashion so I may never do it, or do it just for learning and never go to "production".
@jorgesanz thanks for the link, it is a good usable non-technical take. Only I didn't understand the bent towards rootless containers at the end, seems less performant for no benefit.
@tetrislife a blocker for me is to rely into too many moving parts that can break or rot over time. I'd prefer something I can dispose and rebuild quickly without much hassle, hence my interest on Infra as Code solutions like Terraform and Ansible
@ironicbadger Was just listening to #selfhosted - Pacers are gone at last, a few have gone in to Preservation, but there's none in service any more. Thankfully.
@lukas Das kommt drauf an, was du dir vom CMS erwatest. Und Fediverse Anbindung ist vage, es gibt ein breites Spektrum, wie ausgeprägt die Interoperabilität mit bekannten Plattformen sein kann.
