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.

What’s up, what’s down and what are you not sure about?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

Personally I'm finally reaping the fruits of my labour and enjoy my stable homelab without doing much. One node went down recently and the other took over until I restarted so I was not in a hurry to fix things. Enjoying family time and only running updates that aren't automated (yet). I'm about to dig a bit deeper into logging, probably setting up central log collection like Loki at some point, but not yet.

I was excited to learn that homeassistant lets me bypass the atrocious Sonos app for controlling all my speakers from various music sources.

Though at the same time, I'm little disappointed that offTikTok is broken.

I was also enjoying my stable homelab until... well lets just say I got cheap parts here, nice stuff there and now I am building myself a new system and I started by stripping a case I got for 20 bucks and totally spray painting it, got some nice black and white cables, wanna display my nas this time instead of hiding it in the cupboard. After that I will put in the parts I got and then I need to migrate everything from the old nas (well hopefully I just put the drives in and it works). Soooo... Yeah 😀

Recently set up a Maloja container and a Multi-scrobbler container so I can finally ditch last.fm!

@tofu My system has been stable and I left it running for a while. However unfortunately it ran out of disk space. I really need to get round to putting images on a separate volume as these are the ones that run out, and unfortunately after reducing old images it was not working, probably database corruption due to no space. Anyway after a bit of a panic then running my restore script I'm running again.

Does anyone know how to get a static IP for their server when their ISP doesn't allow it. I've found out how to use duckdns, but I want to set up my own DNS server from anywhere but I'm pretty sure it requires using a static IP.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Dynamic DNS is the usual way. Your ISP assigns the IP, so they're the only ones who can make it static.

You might be able to do it with some VPN shenanigans, but generally dynamic DNS is what you want. It's basically a script that runs on your server that will periodically update the IP on the DNS entries.
