How in terms of “how did you do it” i.e. a guide a wiki etc. How to you maintain it? How do you provide security and how do you maintain it? Do you host on bare metal at home? Do you use a cloud service? If the former, how do you connect to it when you aren’t at home?
I realize that’s a lot to ask, but I have some down time and want to hear everyone’s full viewpoints
Mainly i just host things to be the change i want to see in the world. Anyone with a decent internet connection can and should selfhost services that matter to them. I see the internet getting more commercial every day and lots of talk about how advertising is the only way to have “free” services online, but its really not. Its up to us to take back the internet from corporate interests.
What: Jellyfin, peertube, funkwhale, pleroma, matrix (continuwuity) and a Bunch of others. Mainly to share media and encorage more people to ditch netflix/spotify/etc.
Im currently working on setting up romm to also start sharing games.
Matrix is one of the only things i dont have open to new users because i dont want the moderation issues that come with it but it Lets me run bridges to all the other messaging services i dont want to have to use directly like i used to be able to do with IRC or Pidgin.
How: mostly just using docker on my home server, with a few things that dont need much storage on my VPS. I keep everything connected by wireguard.
