hey fedizens, how are things with y'all? I need your help: now that is dead, my plan of getting one to setup my self-hosting adventures locally is up in the air because I don't know viable alternatives of SBCs that can be bought in/from Portugal. do you have any tips/recommendations for me? thanks in advance! :boostRequest:

long post, self hosting adventures

it is now official: I bought a refurbished HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Mini to be my home server. got a nice xmas deal with a portuguese shop specialized in refurbs. but before I start playing with it I will make some changes:
- it comes with 8GB of RAM, but I will buy a 16G card as well, so I might end up with 12G or 24G;
- it comes with a 256GB 2.5" SATA SSD, but I am thinking of selling that and operating with only a 1TB M.2 NVME SSD;
- it comes with no WiFi, so I'm getting an Intel AX211 card, since I have a WiFi6 router and can't do an Ethernet connection at the moment.

I've also been researching on top of what I'm gonna run my server. for now I think I won't do YUNOHOST and go with Docker. but even then I have choices to make this whole thing easier: Portainer, CapRover, Umbrel, Tipi are the ones I already read about. any thoughts on that, fellow fedizens?

I wanna thank @joby @millihertz @steven for showing me the wondrous world of refurbished miniPCs/thin clients. :blobcat_hearthug:

the adventure continues...

OK, now my Mastodon instance is back for good! after some trial & errors, I successfully migrated from my YUNOHOST server at a remote VPS to a Docker container in my home server, thanks to the great people at LinuxServer.io: they now offer a glitch-soc flavour on their Mastodon docker image!

it was a long process learning how to migrate the database and files properly, I read a ton of guides, Q&As on many sites, spent weeks with my instance down, but now things seem good and well. let's hope they stay that way, hehehe.

self-hosting and "growing your own services" (hi @homegrown ) is kinda addictive, hehehe...

I am currently running 9 services/applications on my home server via docker containers (this mastodon instance is one of them). and, despite difficulties and problems always arising, I'm planning on adding some more... mwahahahahaha :laugh:

I need help from the fedizens: it's been a while I migrated my mastodon instance from a VPS to my own home server, but I am having some problems, mainly pertaining to federation (I can't reach unknown accounts and servers when I search for them, making it virtually impossible to follow new people) and I simply cannot upload images or videos. on both cases an error message just slides in from the left saying "500" and nothing else.

I am running v4.1.2+glitch using the LinuxServer.io docker image. any help is appreciated, I'm at my wit's end with this. thanks!

my mastodon instance can't show images from other people, doesn't let me upload images to my posts, can't search for accounts on the larger Fediverse and won't let me follow accounts on unknown servers. every action described above returns a 500 error. I need help, I don't know what to do. 😢​😢​😢​

I have been feeling very proud of self-hosting, lately. After my vacations I'm gonna try new things I've been musing about in that sense. 14-years-old me, who used to spend hours designing on Microsoft Front Page, is proud of 32-years-old me, I am sure. :blobcat_hearthug:

I need help, fedizens. :AAAAAA:

first attempt to run my own @pixelfed instance on a Docker stack seemed successful, after many issues and resolutions to them. the stack is running, no errors on the logs of the containers. but when I access the URL on my browser, I get ERROR 500. when I access via the local IP and port, it opens the Pixelfed site, but on a "Sorry, this page isn't available" page.

I am honestly lost right now.

the problem with self-hosting is that now I wanna self-host EVERYTHING and my computing resources are not infinite, so I have to make choices, lol.

loving this experience and what it's bringing me. :blobcat_hearthug:
