#selfhosting

Could an old mobile device (phone or tablet) be used as a home server, FreedomBox styles?

Imagine it has a big internal storage and/or SDcard, and it's running a custom ROM (a Mobile GNU distro) intended for the purpose. Plus it's permanently plugged into power and connected to reliable WiFi.

Is this something we could realistically repurpose old mobiles for if they don't support 4G calling?

@spinglass nodds in agreement

Whilst I use #GitHub for @OS1337, I don't use #GithubActions and it can be all done completely airgapped (merely depending on your ability to get sources & toolchain on your device and follow documentation.

• And I think #ReproduceableBuilds and a truly "#SelfHosting"-capable system is necessary of you want it to be real #FLOSS that is actually working!

But then again I'm not deploying some 3rd tier esolang.

#askfedi #homelab #selfhosting best self hosted cloud storage that is similar to dropbox?

i.e., nextcloud/ownfile/seafile.

The use case is something simple for two non-techy musicians to set up so we can work on reaper audio projects over the internet. Basically I want to have a shared folder where the projects live, so it is as easy as possible to just open up a project in reaper and start recording.

#boost if you know someone who has experience.

@Codeberg I'd propably at some point do #SelfHosting and merely continue to leech #bandwith and #storage from #GitHub until they axe that!

a blog post that discusses the sense of urgency I felt to learn #Docker (because it will become mandatory for #Ghost)... and how a recent discovery has pushed back my deadline. I can learn slowly, yay!

Question for those of you who are #selfhosting your #fediverse/ #activitypub instance with a very small number of users (max 5, let’s say): how many other instances are you federated with?

No reason, I’m just curious.

FYI my little #gotosocial instance that hosts @logistics
(with ~150 followers at present) is federated to ~6,500 other instances after 2 months online.

Please boost for visibility.

I figured out several ways to run DarkMX on a headless server without GUI. This allows me to install it on a remote server without any desktop environment and run the software as a daemon without the GUI.

First I used the X forwarding feature of SSH to pipe the GUI to a local machine. On that machine I did all the configuration inside the GUI. Then I closed the program.

Then on the remote machine I used 'xvfb' to run DarkMX as a nohup'd daemon with a dummy GUI buffer. That way I don't need to be connected to the GUI from a local machine and the application will still run. It also uses less RAM without the GUI.

There are other ways to do this, such as VNC and xpra. I just chose the quickest, dirtiest method in this case.

Why would I go to all that trouble? Well, I don't need to, but there are some people who might need to publish while maintaining strict anonymity. So they would need tools like DarkMX and TOR. For me it's just fun.

DarkMX operates over the TOR privacy preserving network. As a result the location of my peer is hidden and extremely hard to impossible for an adversary to locate. So when I publish something, such as a letter, or paper, or opinion, anyone can download it since censoring it is not viable. It ensures that my speech remains free and available to the general public. Now when I author essays, papers, homiles and such, I can publish them as file shares, and I can publish them simultaneously as a TOR hidden website with the built-in webserver feature. So readers don't need DarkMX to read my files--they can just fire up TOR Browser or use a TOR proxy with their web browser. If they want to snarf a whole directory they can install DarkMX, or use a script to snarf them via TOR.

If you are inclined to fiddle around with installing this software on a headless server, please share the techniques and tools used that suit you.
