🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 126 (good luck charm edition) 🍀

Good morning Fedi friends!

Yesterday I flew back to Paris and I’m spending the week at my in-laws' with my extended family… my little one still has one more week of school holidays. Working is a little difficult with so many people around (especially children) but I have a lofty goal for today: upgrading my VPS and installing #PeerTube.

The 22nd of the month has been my good luck charm in my self-hosting adventures. I installed #GoToSocial (this account) via #YunoHost on December 22nd, 2024. I successfully installed #Ghost on my Ubuntu VPS with command lines on February 22, 2025. Because of that, I will be saving 30€/month…

So in the spirit of #FOSS exploration, I find it fitting to upgrade my VPS today on April 22… and - my oh my! - install PeerTube via YunoHost… so that I can self-host my upcoming videos about the Fediverse.

The children are playing in the garden and I have about 30 minutes to do all that. Wish me luck!

Hey, self-hosting nerds, has anyone set up a server-side thing that scans incoming email, and when it contains a calendar invite, throws it on a calendar where I can accept or decline it (à la gmail)?

In my setup, I'm guessing it would be a sieve filter in dovecot/pigeonhole that extracts calendar attachments and forwards them to my CalDAV server. But I'm open.

(cc/ @neil maybe?)

Looking for some software to access/backup my files on a remote VPS. It has to be accessible by my girlfriend via an iPhone. I was hoping to utilise the iPhone's built in File browser, but hosting SMB share on the internet without a VPN barrier sounds like a bad idea. Furthermore, #NextCloud seems to be too bloated for what I need. I just want files. Hast anyone any recommendations? Has anyone tried ownCloud infinite scale?

En todo lo que va del semestre, la instancia de #moodle que administro en #welhaba (hospedada en mi servidor casero) ha funcionado sin incidencias para mis usuarias, hoy estuvimos realizando tareas de alta demanda para el servidor y todo fluido.

Gracias a mi máster @flan que me ha iniciado en el vicio del #selfhosting

Hey Fedi, been a while!

Excited to announce the first release (v0.5.0-rc.5) of Continuwuity:
➡️ continuwuity.org/
➡️ forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuat

Continuwuity is a community-led fork of the Matrix homeserver conduwuit, picking up development after the original was archived (see: girlboss.ceo/~strawberry/condu).

Good news for existing users: Continuwuity is a drop-in replacement! Just swap the binary/Docker image.
Conduwuit still runs but isn't updated; Continuwuity is the path forward.

We're a group of former conduwuit admins & contributors aiming for stability & new features. Check our roadmap/issues: forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuat

I'm not super active here, so for questions/discussion, join our Matrix room: matrix.to/#/#continuwuity:cont

continuwuity.orgIntroduction - continuwuitycontinuwuity is a community continuation of the conduwuit Matrix homeserver, written in Rust.

Ich habe eine #Idee, schon fast einen #Traum, die eine große Menge freiwillige und engagierte #Programmierer, #Designer, #Artists, #Linux - Profis bräuchte, aber ich bin absolut planlos, wie ich das Umsetzen könnte. Zudem bin ich unentschlossen, ob ich das jetzt schon ohne großen Plan in die Welt tragen sollte.

Wenn es hier jemanden gibt, der/die mit #Selfhosting #Fediverse #OpenSource #Gaming #projektmanagement #git zu tun hat / Interesse hat, bitte melden.
