I hope you too learned alot :) but if I may, I would switch from AdguardHome to Pi-hole.

• pi-hole rocks! :)

If you only access your local domain name inside your LAN and via VPN you can also use Caddy to have local SSL certificates https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https#local-https Have not tried this myself yet but I like the idea of not getting any warnings in browser, and this is safe as long as the Caddy CA root certificate is safe.

Yunohost is doing the installation and finishing with having a XMPP and email server, and from there you can install apps on top of that. You can play with Yunohost inside a container if you wanted to but you will have to prepare the proxy in front of it. If you want to try Yunohost the easiest way, rent a VPS for it.

I feel that that is not what their post was saying.I read it more like the possibility that Mark Zuckerberg would want to talk to the core developer of Mastodon and e.g. buy Mastodon.social, and then when GoToSocial would grow Zuck would want to talk with them as well.I’d be surprised if the GoToSocial software would have Meta Threads blocked by default in their source code.

Following this conversation and here it was a pleasant surprise to see this pinned post from a GoToSocial developer 🙂

Skibidi toilet? As a 39-yr old millennial, I’m aware that was a thing like a year ago, but I assumed it was a Zoomer meme or something. I can’t get past that captcha.

EDIT: Upon looking at it again, I see it just wants me to type in “what is skibidi toilet” into Google, not answer what it is. Ugh, I’m turning into my Silent Generation/Boomer parents.

Yeah, maybe the m CAPTCHA developers only wanted to share nostalgic memories of Google search results without ads. EDIT : let me fact check before I’ve written a lot of nonsense. Yes, seems fair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials

The iPod got me. Never had one. Never had a friend who did.

I didn’t get that far even. <insert /me facepalm>

I am technically not a Millennial. The term for my cohort is Xennial, I believe.

😄

Cloudron is kind of a freemium product. They offer a few apps (two ?) for free to use. For more apps you need to pay. Their back-end does have a view-source-but-no-edit “open source” license last time I checked. Bu if you want to keep things easy, go for it.

👍 Thanks for sharing.

Tested Snikket self-hosting in the past. If I recall correctly one advantage was that it has the option for admins to create invite links for on-boarding new users which seems useful to me for “normies”.

use the server matrix.org like everyone (which seems to work fine).

Suggesting to use matrix.org as “everyone” uses it ? There are other choices instead of making a big flagship instance bigger.

I have a Matrix account on https://tchncs.de since years. Though I don’t use it often, the admin seems to do a good job and provides bridges.

🤣

Agreed. Nextcloud keeps turning itself in hype mode 😑 Remember their social app and “Nextcloud joins the Fediverse!”. I think they even made that social app a recommended app for some time while it was barely usable. Not sure what the current state of the app is but I hear nothing about it I guess cause : new hypes!

Good call. I did not read all of the comments :/

Any specific reason to be so rude ? Didn’t expect this in the friendly Selfhosted community, but I didn’t read all comments.

If you manage to get a good SMTP relay host or authenticated SMTP account for your outgoing email then playing around with small scale self hosting email (Granted that it is not your important daily driver email accounts) can be an interesting and fun experience. But you will have to invest some time reading and tweaking and figuring things out. Slightly comparable with installing Arch Linux. Lots of people will warn you to not do it but you might learn a few valuable things on the way there.

Avoid being an open relay indeed. Some background information : https://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html#relay But with the defaults in postfix you should be fine unless you made a lot of changes and made a mistake in it.

It is possible to have 2FA with a security key and ssh. Been on my to do list for some time to try it.

I’ve tried Snikket a few years ago. Nice project. 👍

Ask yourself a few questions first before following the massive amount of suggestions and then locking yourself out and so on.

• What are you worried about ?
• How important is your stuff ?
• Make backups and check them

Still worried ? Then there’s the easy way out : Hire some security auditor to help you find holes you left.

They do have better marketing than any XMPP developer, though. You basically don’t hear anything from process.one or the Prosody devs.

XMPP developer https://gultsch.social/@daniel does a good enough job at that imho

Nice. Can you edit the subject from your post and add the word howto or guide or something ? That could be nicer for people searching for solutions.

Yes, maybe all those commenters could be simply called self-censored vendor locked in. This is also not the first time Google has been firing critical voices, it is quite frankly tempting to say “it happens all the time”.

I am not a Nextcloud advocate at all, and yes there’s bugs for sure, but this is a Selfhosted community and running Nextcloud inside a LAN could be worse :-)

SCSI was creme de la creme ages ago! Is it not a matter of going in its BIOS, configure the hardware RAID (go for mirror only!?), endure the noise it probably makes, and install ? :)

pizza for scale :)

I felt like the software “kanboard” fit the deal the most in terms of lightweight but I feel like the tracking abilities are kinda restrictive for my needs and Google Keep can do the most of it without additional maintenance.

There’s also Nextcloud Deck, which has an Android companion app. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/it.niedermann.nextcloud.deck/ I am not sure how well Deck and Notes inside a Nextcloud web interface could work together but if I remember correctly Deck entries show up as Tasks in Nextcloud, in your customized welcome dashboard after logging in.

Since you are considering kanboard and wekan, take Focalboard https://www.focalboard.com/ in consideration as well.

Are you running Docker from within Proxmox or next besides Proxmox ? I am not familiar with Proxmox these days, but I do know that standalone Docker + lxc can make the network of the lxc containers time out due to Docker iptables setup.

If your real SMTP server is doing fine, nullmailer is possibly the simplest of all smtp relay packages available.

If I remember correctly when Microsoft bought Hotmail years ago, it was run on FreeBSD and SUN Solaris (And it took Microsoft a really long time to migrate it to Windows servers, but that’s another thing).

Run Caddy as reverse proxy for example : https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/reverse_proxy#examples Syntax is pretty simple and Caddy can automatically do the SSL certificate handling for you as well. No need to install Certbot.

FckFckGo. I see what you did there.

+1 for the SearxNG. That project deserves wide spread attention as far as I am concerned.

The screenshots look nice !

From the Nextcloud docs : https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/reverse_proxy_configuration.html

When a service is running on 127.0.0.1 it usually wants a web server software as proxy. https://searx.github.io/searx/admin/installation-nginx.html

Budget friendly ? Hetzner. Yunohost has a non-comprehensive list of internet service providers by country, which contains criteria about tolerance to self-hosting. https://yunohost.org/en/providers/isp and maybe this is interesting to read https://yunohost.org/ar/howtohostyourself

How about https://dns.watch/ instead ?

What do you mean with custom domain option ? Email providers like mailbox.org, Tuta, Proton, Zoho and hosting providers (e.g. Gandi) can let you use a custom domain email for email. Or do you mean your own webmail custom domain login page ?
