oh, it's time to upgrade my #glitchsoc instance, powered by @yunohost, wish me luck! #SelfHostAdventures #SelfHosting #SelfHosted #SelfHost

hey fedizens, how are things with y'all? I need your help: now that #RaspberryPi 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! ​ #SelfHostAdventures #SelfHosting #SelfHosted #SelfHost

and we're back! my instance (and all my websites) was unreachable for a few days due to some DNS problems, but it's all good now ​

and yes, this happened as part of my #SelfHostAdventures, lol ​

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...

#SelfHostAdventures #SelfHosting #SelfHosted #SelfHost

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 ​

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. 😢​😢​😢​ #Help #MastoHelp #SelfHost #SelfHosted #SelfHosting #Docker #FediHelp

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. ​ #SelfHostAdventures #SelfHosting #SelfHosted #SelfHost

I need help, fedizens. ​

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.

I need help, fedizens!

I am trying to make my @pixelfed #pixelfed instance work properly, but federation is broken. I am using the @pixelfedde_ci #docker image and operating behind a @cloudflare #cloudflare tunnel. can anyone help me, please? ​

#SelfHostAdventures #SelfHosting #SelfHosted #SelfHost #FediHelp

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. ​

omg this last #Mastodon / #GlitchSoc update was a DOOZY

but I was able to get thru it succesfully #SelfHosting #SelfHostAdventures

in any case: the part of the #Mastodon docs that talks about DB Encryption is just bad and that's why it took me more than an hour to solve the new dependencies and inconsistencies on my server.

upgrade went smoothly, now I'm running v4.0.1+glitch, thanks to @yunohost <3 #glitchsoc #SelfHostAdventures #SelfHosting #SelfHosted #SelfHost

which reminds me that in December I want to do a video narrating my first year of #SelfHostAdventures #SelfHosting #SelfHosted #SelfHost
