I'm using misskey, outta the box. It's got almost no English-language documentation. Takes a little bit of brainpower (and practice) just to run the bash installer.
#Misskey is a #Node#Typescript application, running on port 3000, and uses #postgresql and #redis for data backend. I'm assuming that the redis does fast cacheing of some sort, not sure what all is there. Also has #nginx set up as a #reverseproxy on port 80, even though the the documentation tells us to expose port 3000 to the world.
That's what I did. I'm assuming that most federation would still work even with port 3000 closed, but it's not worth taking the chance.
The entire application is very fast running and very snazzy looking when it's running all on one box with a good deal of hardware available.
I know that misskey works, and it's a good program, but I want it to be slightly budget-optimized and somewhat containerized so that I can tinker with other containerized applications with the #VPS I already have running.
Following my latest poll (asking you to vote on the next Fediverse project I will cover), I will test #PeerTube and publish an article about it next month on #TheFutureIsFederated.
I’m just rethinking logistics: I may join an existing instance (and donate to it to support server costs).
Why? While backing up my #GoToSocial account I noticed the backup file ballooned from 280MB to 7.7GB after just one week of use (😱). I need to be mindful of resource usage for my #VPS.
Celebrating the new year by starting on building out a bootstrap web app codebase from scratch. Just #helloWorld nonsense that supports login, logout, notifications, swipeable galleries and timelines, etc.
I'm abandoning my #openTofu#AI project for the time being, because the stupid cloud provider doesn't support launching cloud GPU via webservice, even though they have cloud #GPU, and even though they have a web API that can launch #VPS and other services.
🎄 All I want for Christmas is: checking off every item in my #VPS setup to do list without breaking anything 🎅
Buying a VPS, installing YunoHost, changing DNS records and installing #GoToSocial was SUPER EASY. These next tasks: not so much, despite all the articles I've been reading and videos I watched. As always, wish me luck!
P.S.: Santa I promise I was good this year
Special thanks to @mkj and @st3fan for the superb recommendations
I wish I had timed how long it took - it was less than 5 minutes! This update comes 2 hours later because I've been dealing with other work stuff in the meantime.
All this to say: a HUGE thank you to the @yunohost team for creating such a phenomenal resource. Donation-as-thank-you coming soon 😊
It’s happening!!! I signed up for a #VPS and I’m about to install #YunoHost. Exciteeeeeeed (and slightly scared).
I’m so early in my #Linux journey but I was emboldened after watching a video walkthrough of YunoHost, with the narrator repeating time and time again « it’s so easy a child could do it ».
Let’s see if « it’s so easy a Linux newbie could do it».
My #VPS where this #Mastodon instance is hosted are running out of space. I want to move the media storage off to a #S3 bucket. It seems simple enough – save for one thing: How do I move the current media files from the VPS to S3?
Can't find any information wether that happens automatically or if that's something I've to do manually. And if the latter – how?
I **really** need a VPS with more storage and RAM that is not Hetzner or netcup, but still has a reasonable/similar pricing and is inside the EU/EEA (this seems so impossible)
- I currently have the Hetzner CAX11 with 2 ARM cores, 4GB RAM and 40GB Storage for 3,92€/month (And I would like to at least double all the specs and maybe even triple the storage...)
Just shut down my last #vps. Going to keep the account going for a while but I've moved almost everything in-house or to third parties handling the hosting for me if I need remote access. I used to be really heavily into control of my services but these days I'm more on the balance and backups train.
Does anyone know of anyone offering managed Forgejo hosting?
(I don’t mean Codeberg. All my stuff is already on Codeberg. I mean where I could have my own VPS running Forgejo just for our own projects but where I wouldn’t have to deal with managing yet another server.)
@clacke The instance closes 2024-04-16. Primary reason is that the annual #VPS hosting payment is due and I cannot pay it. But upgrade and disk space are secondary but still important reasons.
This is going to be the first time in many years that I'm not hosting anything.
