🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 182 (new software edition!) ☁️
Good morning Fedi friends!
This #GoToSocial account is officially back to posting about... self-hosting from the POV of a newbie / non-dev.
This morning I hit a new little milestone: I FINALLY installed #NextCloud on my VPS (thank you #YunoHost).
I'm getting ready to share short clips of my Fedi promo video (that anybody could use / upload on their own accounts - esp. Big Tech ones, if they're so inclined) and I needed a solution to let people download files. NextCloud is perfect for the task - and something I had looked forward to installing for a looooong time.
I'll share more details soon, but so far I'm excited to finally use it.
Wishing everyone a great day! 🌞

I really dislike all these distros moving their support to Discord and not installing an online, searchable forum. If it's not searchable via a search engine and free to read, the answer does not exist in my book.
A small group of us are working on community level hosting of 'self-hosted' FOSS tools (think #NextCloud and more) setup as a local service offering for local grassroots organisations. We're seeking advice/tips/guidance.
We're keen to do some orchastration but want to avoid the complexity of say Kubernetes.
As a start we were looking at Ansible with Docker Swarm but we're now exploring other alternatives.
Anyone have experience at this sort of hobbist just a bit bigger than #HomeLab Ops scale?
#Pyinfra is being considered as an Ansible, in the projects words "Think ansible but Python instead of YAML, and a lot faster." (https://pyinfra.com)
Anyone have experience at this homelab/small hosting level? Would love any tips/suggestions for tools/approaches.
One source of inspiration is the 12Factor app methodology: https://12factor.net
Personally, as a rubyist I'm always keen to know what the ruby community is doing in this space also.
Haven't seen many others doing work at this scale, lets use the tag #CommunityHosting to keep connected :)

Remember that blogpost about our fully #FOSS adventure that I promised to write years ago? Welp, better late than never! 😂
"Building a fully FOSS environment – then and now." Basically everything I chose 7 years ago for a medium sized non-profit and what I would choose in 2025.

Oh, PeerTube (an open, self-hostable, decentralized video platform) is still accepting crowdfunding donations for their mobile app, and sadly is still missing quite a bit:
https://support.joinpeertube.org/en/
I'd love for it to become more popular. To me, personally, the lack of a mobile, but especially an AndroidTV app that can follow submissions on multiple instances, was always kinda a dealbreaker for me to use it regularly.
BUT I love the project and want it to succeed so we have a better YouTube alternative!
So, maybe you can also chip in, or just spread the word that it exists. ❤️

#Google blockiert zunehmend die Möglichkeiten, vollständig freie und sichere Betriebssysteme wie @GrapheneOS auf #Pixel Geräten zu installieren. Eine neue Einschränkung bei der Firmware-Nutzung macht es schwerer, alternative Android-Distributionen ohne proprietäre Google-Komponenten zu betreiben. Das betrifft nicht nur die Freiheit der Softwarewahl, sondern auch Projekte, die den Fokus auf Sicherheit und Datenschutz legen.

For those of you who are into #PlainTextAccounting: Which software are you using and why?
I'd like to finally start personal accounting again. I stopped when #YNAB became SaaS. YNAB's "envelope budgeting" worked really well for me, and I'd like to get back to a similar workflow. (Or, if you think you know something superior, let me know!)
I'm very open to comments and suggestions here, but it has to be open source software.

GrapheneOS: Where Licenses Matter More Than People
GrapheneOS could have shipped real accessibility support. They had a screen reader. They had a libre speech engine — one they requested a feature from. They got that feature.
And then they said no.
Because the license was GPLv3.
They’ll ship sandboxed Google Play Services.
They’ll let you install GPLv3 software from their app store.
But a working screen reader for blind users?
Blocked. On principle.
This isn’t a technical limitation.
This is not a matter of priorities.
This is cruelty by ideology — and they’re proud of it.
So here it is. My full public dissection of the excuses, the hypocrisy, and the sheer contempt they’ve shown to the people who need privacy and security most: the disabled.
They chose licensing purity over basic humanity.
I chose to write this.
