    🏕️ 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! 🌞​

        Hey fedi friends, what are the differences in USES and config options listed at #freshports for a ? I am familiar with USE in , which seem to be the config options here? For it is very common to use different USE settings for a packages, but for I read from porter's handbook there are not many USE items and they looked different from the term in . I am still trying to wrap my head around what is happening that whenever I try to build a port, like or in tiny flavors, I constantly noticed and all other seemingly unrelated stuff get pulled in.

              A small group of us are working on community level hosting of 'self-hosted' FOSS tools (think 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 Ops scale?

              is being considered as an Ansible, in the projects words "Think ansible but Python instead of YAML, and a lot faster." (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: 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 to keep connected :)

                            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:

                            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. ❤️

                                                                      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?

                                                                      This is not a matter of priorities.
                                                                      This is cruelty by ideology — and they’re proud of it.
