Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I tried earlier today and I had no luck actually getting an instance running

It would help if the explanation was specific to a raspberry pi

Do yourself a favour and don't host it, yet. Lemmy is not quality software. You have 3 options here:

  • pay someone to take care of it for you
  • learn more about computer management and computers in general, first; then host it
  • ignore the first two options, which will inevitably lead to your instance crashing and burning

Best of luck!

Crashing and burning would be similar to most my other projects

Crashing and burning (in a non-production environment) is an excellent motivator to develop necessary skills; being unafraid to break things and fix them when they inevitably break helps you get a deeper understanding of how the systems work, for what it's worth.

And crashing and burning in a production environment is an excellent thing to laugh at in 20 years
