Pretty much what it says on the tin, but for more context. My friends and I use Discord to play D&D and other TTRPGs. We also use it to send memes and just have conversations. We mostly do the chat, text, images, gifs, etc. But we also use the voice and video chat pretty regularly too. Screen share sometimes as well. So I’d like to try to find something that has all those features if possible.

I’m an English teacher who wanted to “cut the cord” wherever I could, so I started learning about domain hosts, containerization, .yaml files, etc.

Recently one of the posts I made got a porn spam comment and I also saw a lot of porn spam in my instance’s communites. Also just now I got an abusive DM telling me to kill myself and accusing me of being an astroturfer.

My friends are open to leaving Discord which has finally given me a reason to look into Element/Matrix. I found the install instructions and am immediately put off. Is this it? No official docker compose? 😞

All this talk about Discord replacements plus my own experience attempting to host a Synapse has got me wondering why it seems so hard to implement voice chat.

I have been selfhosting for mostly to have everything available for me and my family. I have separate server running Yunohost for my business stuff that currently has Nextcloud, Trillium Notes and Forgejo for file management, notes and code repository. Now I am getting an employee that would probably needs access to files and project management tools.

So I have some services and wireguard running locally on a “home” network. I also have wireguard, a DNS resolver, and a reverse proxy set up on a remote server. Since I don’t want to expose the home IP to the public, to access my services I connect to the VPN on the remote, which then forwards my request home. But this means that when I’m at home, connecting to my local services requires going out to the remote. Is there some way to have the traffic go over the switch when at home, but go over wireguard when away, without having to manually switch the VPN on/off?

I just installed Radicale and could not at first figure out how to add a calendar that I could edit in the app. And since I could not find any decent post on the topic, here is how to do it (as of iOS 18.7.3 on an iPhone 13 pro, but I imagine the process being very similar on other devices):

Ie similar to how Lemmy allows users to create instances that are federated with each other, only this Discord alternative’s instances wouldn’t federate with each other.

The academic meme community here is absolutely ace! But what I would also like is to communicate with other academics in my field and share the latest publication and talk about it a bit if possible with peers.

I just got myself some mini PC’s and want to set up a k8s lab to strengthen my skills, I was laid off 8mo ago and haven’t been able to find a new job.

I bought into the ecosystem while taking my networking cert classes back in 2017. They were much cheaper than Cisco gear for business-grade networking, and overall I’ve been happy with them.

I am the admin of the newly created instance https://indie-ver.se/, and it’s been going great. But as I was looking to migrate all images to a S3 bucket, I noticed, the images take up more space than I had anticipated, a bit over 1 GB. And I know for a fact, that there has not been many images uploaded to this instance directly.

Hello, quick introduction. I’m self-hosting beginner, started about year ago, burned myself couple times, learned a bit, but mostly still groping in the dark as nobody I personally know does anything like this.

Ive got a lot of downloaded YouTube videos. I used to play them through Plex back when I ran that, but once I switched to Jellyfin there wasn’t a good way to set them up at all. So I was super excited when I found TubeArchivist. All the posts I saw on it seemed to be positive, so I set it up yesterday in Docker.

Wanting to dip my toes into kubernetes for homelab stuff and I have a few questions.

I’ve recently been working on scraping the app api for instagram for a project, and I’m surprised at the amount of data it sends that it shouldn’t need. I knew it did a lot of tracking already, but after looking at what it sends, I am never installing that app outside of an emulator.

Okay here is the thing. I have a garmin forerunner which i love for i can read the screen without my reading glasses. I use it for running and cycling. I pull the data directly from it on my debian desktop and upload gpxfiles. A huawei band9 is used for swimming.

Can someone recommend some self-hosted or not, tool that I could schedule for periodical scans of all I host and is exposed to public internet?

So, I had to go nuclear and I’ve ended up with only a singular cloud backup of what was a Synology DS 412+.

Hi all,

Hola gente bonita, Quiero compartirles esta iniciativa de ayudar a la traducción de la aplicación web de Piefed este fin de semana, ¡durante el Hackaton! https://piefed.zip/c/fediverse/p/1025926/idea-hackathon-for-the-fediverse-the-7-8-febuary#replies

The fifth episode of Star Fleet Academy was filled with memberberries for Deep Space Nine. So now I want to re-watch this magnificent Star Trek show. I first watched it, back when it aired in the 1990s.

The title is from Shakespeare’s *Romeo and Juliet*, Act I sc v: “Come, let’s away, the strangers all are gone.” It also appears in *King Lear*, Act V sc iii: “Come, let’s away to prison; We two alone will sing like birds i’ the cage”.

I’m planning to setup backup on my nas with the 3-2-1 backup rule.

I am trying to host my first website + service.

Hey everyone,

Unless I am blind or my search-fu is hugely failing me, I cannot for the life of me find any information on the recommended/minimum specs to self-host the matrix backend services. I’m trying to spin up a VM just to play around with it and see if I like it. Specifically, I’m looking at Synapse or Continuwuity. Any advice?

I’m planning to build several WiFi connected devices for home automation: an AC remote control and air quality sensors. These devices would send data and be controlled through a local server. I’m considering two approaches: running custom software on a server PC (hardware to be determined) or integrating with Home Assistant’s protocols and purchasing their hardware. Would using Home Assistant be excessive for this use case?

Here is my setup:

I’ve been using Termius for a few years for an SSH client. Have have a lot of self-hosted servers both in my home lab and on VPSs. I’m looking to cut some costs since it’s $120/year and really the main thing I use it for is syncing my SSH accounts and credentials between a laptop, a desktop, and my Android phone. So I’m looking for a new method to sync these things.

So one thing I’ve done to help me find more things to self host or do is think like a prepper. Like…what if my ISP goes out? How can I remotely control my homelab or even trigger Home Assistant events if my ISP is out? I had no idea how to solve this until about 6 months ago when I discovered Meshtastic.
