Currently using Nextcloud AIO and it’s pretty decent, though I’ve got 16 vCPU and 32 GB of RAM allocated to it right now, though it’s only using 10% CPU and ~7 GB of RAM at the moment.

I think it takes a while to warm up once you start adding data to it, especially depending on the plug-ins you add and amount of data.

I think both of the ones I mentioned have docker-compose files, which I think I can convert with kompose convert? I guess from there I would follow your steps and then start parameterizing it once it’s running properly.

Thanks! I think I’ll start trying out PixelFed tomorrow.

That’s actually super helpful! I haven’t done much custom Helm chart-ing, and was kinda lost where to start. That really helps break the process down, and the tip about skipping state to start is very wise.

I’ve seen that around, but I prefer to run my own services instead of relying on a ready-built system like that. I find they don’t offer that much customization options usually.

Thanks! I find most of the issues occur during upgrades to services, but that is to be expected.

My internet service is usually more of an issue than most services I run. Though some things take longer to get tweaked and running well and that can cause issues.

Oh, dev namespaces are a good idea. Do you have a dev domain then too?

That makes sense!

Have you played with anything like Istio to secure in-cluster communications? I think Hashicorp Consul can do something similar to encrypt service to service communications.

Ah okay that makes sense, you’re using the internal cluster domain to route to services

Yeah it very adds some extra complexity and it’s more important for if you are hosting in public clouds anyways IMO.

What’s everyone’s workflows with these systems? Do you catalog both physical and digital documents? Where do you store the documents?

Glad I could provide some insight! It’s not something I see talked about too much even on Reddit. Let me know if you have any questions or things I could flesh out more in the article!

I’m still relatively new to ActivityPub and Federated systems in general, though I’ve had my Lemmy and Mastodon instances for 8+ months now I don’t use them as much as I was expecting, sadly. Running your own instance can be very isolating and any content you put directly on your instance probably won’t gain much traction (at least on Mastodon, Lemmy seems to fair a bit better).

It’s one of a handful of blogs that I’ve run over the last couple of years, the other one that’s still online is HomeLab.Blog. I actually meant to run a federated blog platform like WriteFreely, but they don’t have a production docket image, and I saw that Ghost is planning on adding ActivityPub support.

This article might be more appropriate on that blog and an article about my experience with Federated systems might be more on-topic on this one. Oops.
