Not OP, but at least for me when I tried it:

There was no way to use or even just mount and migrate my existing storage (btrfs+LVM). LVM wasn’t even installed, and when I tried to install it, I got an error saying that apt was disabled on the system, which means I was basically locked out of doing anything more than what they allow you to do on your own hardware.

It seems like it’s technically open source, but having all the vendor lock-in features and lack of control of a proprietary solution

The only use case seems for it to be used as a black box appliance:

• on a new system
• with empty hard drives
• only with ZFS
• without having any control on your own system, except enabling samba etc and maybe installing the predefined Docker containers that they allow you from the web interface

I knew it is supposed to be only an appliance, but with how much people recommended it, I didn’t thing it would be this closed of a system; I think I’ve read about people doing more things with even just their Synology hardware

Unfortunately I don’t have a source, but I remember reading that some Debian packagers prefer using Arch, because doing the packaging there was easier for some reason 😅

The renewable energy stuff is expected, but these I find more… interesting:

• International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance
• UN Democracy Fund
• International Law Commission
• Peacebuilding Commission
• Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence Against Children
• International Tropical Timber Organization
• UN Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries;

“We explicitly state that we don’t care about peace, democracy, and violence against children”

• Permanent Forum on People of African Descent

“Also, f*ck African people in particular”

• UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women

“… and women”

After building it, we realized we should have checked the dimensions on the website more carefully

I don’t know about this one specifically 😅 but people probably have the need for these debates anyway, so it’s just better to express them (on the Fediveree)! 😁

It’s like, how in some movies and shows people have “meaningless” discussions in a bar about random trivia etc; if people don’t behave in a toxic way, it’s just a way to connect and share ideas!

And in some (most?) cases, the discussion might be more important than the result of it, since you see in practice more about how people can approach this type of curiosity about a subject, which might apply to many other topics we think about every day 😁

More importantly though, where am I supposed to go to debate if water is wet, if not to the Fediverse? 😄

And that mailu.io (and other similar projects) makes self-hosting email almost trivial 😁 (at least for people that can run a pre-configured docker-compose.yml and buy their domain etc)

Hi @everyone!

Time for a pretty big update! Behind the scenes, we’ve been quietly cooking up something exciting, and we’re finally ready to share it: the Jellyseerr and Overseerr teams are merging into one team called Seerr! This has been in the works for quite some time, and we couldn’t be happier to officially join forces.

What does that mean for you? A single unified codebase where all the latest Jellyseerr features will make their way in, plus the combined effort means we can move faster on new features and keep things more up to date.

We’re sharing this news a little early because we need beta testers before our first release. If you’d like to help shape the future of this project (and move us towards a quicker first release), now’s your chance!

To test, you can switch from our official image to fallenbagel/jellyseerr:preview-seerr

We do not recommend using this on a production instance, but if you do, please back up your data before switching. For any questions or feedback, please post in our ⁠#seerr-beta channel!

I’ve been wondering about this for a while, what do people recommend for FOSS imgur alternatives (or just simple image hosting)? 🤔

(Of course the UK should just allow free access to information, but I would still prefer to be able to use something FOSS anyway)

I’m not a gemini user, but this seems like a nice tool!

I just came to share this blog post, written by the developer of curl about their opinion on gemini, for anyone interested :D

(PS: thank you for using codeberg instead of centralized alternatives!)

(They changed the name apparently)

Embracing “alternatively obtained” games

we want to prevent others from profiting off our hard work by selling our software without our consent.

TIL; for people like me who just found out:

https://gamevau.lt/blog/2023/07/13

For a self-hosted app like GameVault, we believe it’s crucual to disclose the source code. We want you, our users, to have full transparency and control [?] over the software you use on your servers.

our desire to protect our code from unauthorized use and commercial exploitation. While we absolutely encourage you to copy, modify, and share our code for personal use […] we want to prevent others from profiting off our hard work by selling our software without our consent.

As a small business with just two members, we strive to provide you with a valuable product but cannot continue to do so as volunteers indefinitely.

(I’m a AGPL kind of guy, but) btw at least there are licenses specifically for software:

https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license

https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/12070/allowed-uses-of-a-software-licensed-under-cc-by-nc-license

Copyright and the CC-BY-NC license do not regulate mere use, such as executing a program.

Ok proprably we’re at least allowed to run it (That’s not a given, e.g. iirc if someone publishes their code on github without a license, it doesn’t mean that people can fully and legally use it, except for what some Github ToS clause defines that you agreed to)

I was interested in checking it out for personal use; anyone has any experience with alternatives? (I can look them up, I’m just curious about peoples’ recommendations)

For a simple links-only page I’m using Linkstack, and there’s also littlelink

Buy less of small’s less; less is more, but small less is less more than regular less

I probably wouldn’t go with a relatively new project that isn’t guaranteed to stick around long-term

Oh of course, I just shared it because I don’t think I’ve seen anything similar and simple, just in case anyone wants to check it out and experiment etc

Oh also a friend of mine is developing this, that uses passwordless magic links or passkeys https://github.com/dzervas/magicentry I haven’t looked much into it though!

You can also check https://kanidm.com/ and https://goauthentik.io/ as well!

Yes, it’s pretty good! I’m a DevOps engineer, and have experience with Ansible, Docker, etc, but I just couldn’t find time to deploy services the best way that I wanted™ for my personal server

So, even though it e.g. doesn’t even use Docker, yunohost really helped me start using the many services I wanted/needed, which otherwise might take e.g. a few hours to a couple of days for each of them to research and configure

So I have one “production” yunohost server, one “testing” yunohost server to test services that I don’t know if I’ll use yet (and I wouldn’t want them to interfere with production e.g. by using too many resources)

and one server without yunohost for mailu, Docker, traefik, etc, which I can use to deploy services the correct way™ as I figure out the services that I really use and find the time to migrate them one-by-one

Even when using yunohost, there are so many things to do after deploying a service (e.g. DNS, configure the server and client software), so it has been really useful to save time when deploying and configuring.

I think it gets you ~80% there, makes self-hosting accessible to everyone, and helps democratize the Internet a bit 💚 It’s more important to have many people setting up e.g. Immich or Nextcloud for their family photos, than only a few Linux people being able to learn how to do it perfectly (Docker/kubernetes high availability, reverse proxies, etc) and have everyone else to need to resort to using centralized services

Lemmy’s license is AGPL, so you would need to at least publish changes to Lemmy itself 😉

(I don’t know if e.g. the code for the algorithm is separate, in order to have a closed source algorithm with an open source Lemmy fork)

You could try something like YunoHost to get started! It’s kind of a one-click deployment platform for self-hosting, ready to use with user management, reverse proxy with SSL, somewhat preconfigured services to choose from, etc.

Ideally you can also learn the tools needed like Docker, Ansible, etc, but with yunohost and a SBC (e.g. RaspberryPi), or a €5/month VPS (easier if you want to access your services publicly), you will have a ready-to-use boilerplate that you can start building on.

Learning all the individual technologies at the same time might be overwhelming at the beginning, but something like yunohost will allow you over time to learn all the stuff around the deployment itself, e.g. how domains and DNS records work, how the SSL certificates are generated, which services you would like to set up and use, the configuration needed for these services individually, etc. And at the same time you can start using a few useful services!

Then, as you start learning, you could start setting up services one-by-one manually with e.g. Docker, either at the same server or a new one.

Don’t forget to look for the admin documentation for each software you’re setting up (e.g. Nextcloud etc). And look at awesome-selfhosted, it’s a list of more resources and software to use and deploy!

Good luck and have fun!

(Edit: There are some yunohost alternatives you might want to look into, but most of what I found either had a very small selection of software, or had a subscription service etc that they want to sell you, while limiting what you can do on your own server)
