Will talk about Linux, plants, space, retro games, and anything else I find interesting.
Ive hosted on a variety of platforms (docker in house and cloud) I find yunohost the easiest. Theres a nextcloud package that just…installs at a click of a button. And the scripts are all there open source so you know what your getting.
Unfortunately its still all in one “container” in that its all on one machine. So it might not be what your looking for. Ive ran my nextcloud for a number of years now and the stability of yunohost has been great for me.
I have 2 terabyte hard drives that get backed up when I remember.
Heh yeah same. Add in a couple of old pis and that is my “infrastructure”.
Yunohost + freshrss is an amazing combo.
Want to switch?
I wish that was ours…
Yep. And they are talking about a couple more price hikes next year. Significant ones.
Yes. There was talk locally for local government to take control of the power but it’s just talk…
It gets over 110 where I live in the summer…so air conditioning can make it very expensive.
Mostly just that they can. It’s more expensive per tier actually.

Take a look, this is the old pricing. They just voted to up it again.
There’s legislation that is moving along to charge people with solar because…idk.
I think at max 200w? It runs a collection of fedi/self service stuff.
I also run a pi with a couple of apps on a pi 3 that sips power.
It’s a legitimate issue because it’s 50+ cents per killowat hour where I live so power is very expensive…
I have a project like it. Lots of collective commons, free books, lots of things without copyright. It’s a box anyone can get into in a localized area. On a pi zero w. Fun little project to put together.
Lots of Wikipedia and text to be honest.
Fail2ban works really well.
Basically. It’s just Ubuntu server with some really good niceties.
nice.
I need to get something dead simple/no cloud etc… Just shopping around.
Do you use any sort of RAID? Recently, ive been using an old SSD, but back 9ish years ago, I used to backup everything with a RAID system, but it took too much time to keep up.
I have to agree, the community seems to come and go. Some apps have daily updates and some have been updated only once. If I were to start a new server, I would probably still pick yunohost, but remove some of the older apps as one offs. The lemmy one for example is stuck on a VERY old version. However the GotoSocial app is updated every time there is an update in the main repo.
Still super good support for something that is free and open source. Stable too :) but sometimes stability means old.
Honestly after using docker and containerization for more than a decade, my home setups are just yunohost or baremetal (a small pi) with some periodic backups. I care more about my own time now than my home setup and I want things to just be stable. Its been good for a couple of years now, without anything other than some quick updates. You dont have to deal with infa changes with updates, you dont have to deal with slowdowns, everything works pretty well.
At work its different Docker, Kubernetes, etc… are awesome because they can deal gracefully with dependencies, multiple deploys per day, large infa. But ill be the first to admit that takes a bit more manpower and monitoring systems that are much better than a small home setup.
It was :(
My pi 4 is right on the cusp. 3 B+ was the best when it came to no dongles and power. Now its taking about the same power as a mini PC and you have to by the enclosure, fans/heatsink/dongles/etc…etc… I suppose you can still buy the old pis but man I miss when that was the form factor they were going for.
I bring over my 3/4 for hacking projects all the time. But I cant justify the 5 without looking at getting a mini pc for 10$ more and it comes with a hard drive ment to last longer than an SD.
