Self-hosting

I'm interviewing folks to determine the roadmap for my federated link sharing project "linkblocks". If you like bookmark managers, lemmy, are.na, or any other app for curating and sharing stuff, this is your chance to make me build your dream app ;)

Hey folks!

I currently have an email provider who also gives me my own nextcloud account. If I were to setup my own server in a while (which I would like to do), will I be able to carry over all my things (contacts, calendar,Talk conversations, appointment pages, etc) in some easy manner?

Hello, people

I'm trying to see if I can host my own Fediverse instance for friends and family and I want to know what kind of device would be required. I'm an absolute beginner to self-hosting so I was wondering if I can start cheap (Raspberry Pi 2GB RAM is something I can definitely consider).

i have paperless-ngx but found it randomly errors a ton of things and zotero is fine.

I've recently been able to set up Lemmy and PieFed instances on a Raspberry Pi 5 and wanted to share the process for anyone else interested in self hosting an instance.

I just learned how to do a reverse proxy using Caddy, tailscale tunnel, and exposing Immich secured by OAuth all in a few hours. Now I'm no longer scared of exposing certain services to the Internet!

I recently got my hands on a lightly used Raspberry Pi 5 and have been playing around with it and breaking things while trying to learn my way around self hosting. I have a a couple questions now that I've hit a bit of a road block in learning.

I had to replace my UPSs a few weeks ago on short notice due to hardware failure, and I ended up getting a few LiFePO4 ones as a stopgap since they were on sale and I'd always wanted to try them. So far, so good. Curious if anyone else has switch to lithium UPSs from lead-acid and how that's going for you.

I live in a rural aussie (with no fibre options) area with the worlds shittiest internet and especially bad upload. I been self hosting a bunch of things and simply just struggling through the shit connection.

First let me make sure it's clear that I am *NOT* trying to extend runtime by connecting two UPSs in series. That's been asked a million times on various forums, and is not what I'm trying to accomplish.
