Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Okay but where do I source the bear bones?

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You don't source them, you host them

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean you've got to compile first.

Ile? How much do we owe them?

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 10 points 1 month ago

Find your nearest Kennedy

Ok that is sick. Absolutely no personal use was for this but I really want to force one into existance.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

nice! So your hosting this on a phone?

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Coo! Yeah im building a couple of sites on phones too. Turns out its suuuuper cheap compared to trying to get all the parts together (even a pi).

[–] hereforawhile@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Agreed! Especially if you have an old phone laying around collecting dust

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Ill probably be stealing parts of your code for the python side at some point. I haven't decided if I want server side scripting at all on my dinky phone. Mostly because of power requirements. But I may!

What are you running on? Mine is a pixel 6a, cracked screen :). Worth 20$ online from what im seeing haha.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can you blog about it or recommend one?

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ill try. Im still ordering all the parts (solar panel, maybe 3d print?). The phone is actually, in many ways, the easiest to work with. Its also sorta strange. With termux, the best I can describe is that its UNIX based and then you can get the tools you are used to to make it truly gnu/linux. I had to put a plethora of tools to make it useful.

Ill be adding more in the coming weeks. https://solar.chrisco.me/

Whoa! I love it already!

This is supremely silly. I will never use it, but I'm glad that it exists; you're delightful

[–] FailBetter@crust.piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

termux and tmux are separate things, right?

[–] ReginaPhalange@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Termux is the shitty Linux on Android emulation Tmux is the not shitty terminal multiplexer (AKA "make this thing still run even though I'll disconnect soon")

I've made a cleaned up version found here

Improvements

  • prompt for admin password on boot

  • admin panel that allows control for deleting posts (finiky but functional)

  • pages: 15 posts per page now...this greatly reduces load on server.

  • basic sorting functions

  • cleaned up creating posts and new 'torums' so the home page isn't so messy.
