Selfhosting via local servers is my fav thing recently. Learning Linux, file management, safe backups, how to host services privately and publically, FOSS and free alternatives to normal everyday software. The list of benefits go on
This is the most Lemmy answer possible lmao
True, that is why I’m here. I don’t care about the Reddit api nonsense or hate Reddit just saw a comment asking why the Donald could selfhost but not selfhosting selfhost
Reminds me of a year and a half ago when !selfhosted was the biggest/most active community (or close to it).
Nice. Yeah, I do that a bit. I've got some media services like plex, jellyfin and calibre. I run Caddy for reverse proxy. I've got immich for photos. Nextcloud for files. A couple websites.
I've been looking for a good FOSS budget tracker...seems like local gnuCash is still the best. Also looking to get a good system for android backups. Currently I just backup photos and files, but it would be cool to do full image backups.
Regarding the budget tracker: https://www.actualbudget.com/
Ha! I have actually come across this before (I believe it was on lemmy), but entirely forgot and never went back to checkout the demo. Thanks for the recommendation!
Might want to take a look at Firefly III. I've tried a bunch and it's the best if you need bank importing imo
Thanks for sharing! What’re you using for your websites?
Whoever down voted you must not realize they're on Lemmy.
I turned votes off on my instance because I find them toxic... case in point I guess.
The whole reason I'm here is because I thought Lemmy makes more sense than Reddit for someone who likes selfhosting :) isn't that the whole point of the fediverse lol
Well, you got a bunch of upvotes and just the one down vote, so I think you're right (only disclosing in case you were worried, won't do it again if I see you around 😉
Haha, kind of you to be thoughtful like that! :)
It is always hurtful when one gets randomly downvoted or attacked
