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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I can see you! Near the top of my lemmy.world feed (I believe, I'm pretty new to all this as well)

Congratulations on getting your instance up!

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 10 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Amazing... Cool cool

[–] zippythezigzag@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you're coming in loud and clear from the lemm.ee instance.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 9 points 1 year ago

Beautiful!

Really happy

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You’re coming in loud and clear here in the great white North!

How was the process of setting up self hosting?

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Actually much easier than I thought.

Went the docker way and only did a few errors... Took two tries to get everything in order. I am documenting the process here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy but the page is far from complete...

edit: i just finished updating the page, it should contain more or less all the issues and solutions i encountered.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My instance of one now federates with your instance of one.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So it's true after all that 1+1=11

Welcome, don't forget to claim and tag yourself on fediseer. Make sure you provide the target instance to guarantee for you when soliciting a guarantee. They will get a PM ;)

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 4 points 1 year ago

will do immediately! Thanks!

Neat!

Any chance you could share some resources on how you did it? I’d kinda like to give it a try…

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I will finish writing that on my wiki today at https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy

edit: page done!

That's great!

I am really happy!

Take care friend.

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Curios about how much space is required for hosting a personal Lemmy instance? Is this something you know, if it's not too much I would be interested in hosting myself!

Nice work, although for single user instances I would suggest using PieFed.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Care to elaborate? Interesting

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 3 points 1 year ago
