Selfhosting is the act of hosting applications on “hardware you control”. That could be rented or owned, its the same to us. You could go out and buy a server to host your applications but there a few issues that you might run into that could prevent you from simply standing up a server rack in your spare room. From shitty ISPs to lack of hardware knowledge there are plenty of reasons to just rent a VPS. Either way youre one of us :)
Extras are available or will be soon! Keep your eyes out
Wait I thought that project was dead???
Seems like it, same here
While I agree this is a horrible precedent to set, the real problem we will start to see as this post points out will be the clones popping up pushing malware APKs
It’s certainly possible, if you’re like me and have separate setups for work and gaming you could definitely rig up a Bluetooth dongle for a “work” keyboard. Some boards may allow you to do some more elegant modding compared to others so ymmv.
Honestly I just typed Lemmy into Namecheap and saw what TLDs were available
What sort of backend setup are you running?
Sounds like we have similar setups, and knowing that I’d highly recommend investing in automating as much of your current setup as possible so you can quickly get things back up and running with little to no interaction. Backing up configurations and library metadata might prove to be pretty useful in resurrecting a dead server.
Also rclone is going to be your best friend if you don’t already have that setup
Shucking is the way
Intel NUCs are a great mini PC option (while a little expensive)
Which nextcloud image do you use? I’ve been having issues with the linuxserver being kinda buggy at times (not loading file previews or not being able to close a preview without editing the URL) the app has performed pretty well but the web ui hasnt been great
One moment while I install 256 GB of ram
The real question is how much of that data is irreplaceable. While I hoard like most of you I only off-site backup the hand full of TBs I can’t live without if there was a full system failure. It’s not the perfect solution but most of my hoarded data isn’t mission critical
EDIT: to answer your question though I use AWS glacier storage
Also the assurance that your home instance won’t be suddenly federated from one of the major ones
This is the way
It’s not the most advanced puller but compared to the free ones that you get I like this one a good bit https://cannonkeys.com/products/wuque-titanium-switch-puller
You control the hardware you are provisioned and the software you run on it, which is enough for me. Unless you’re looking for a job in the server adminstration/maintenance field the physical hardware access component of it matters less IMO
