A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I've been in Lemmy for a month and I'm quite enjoy using the service.

However, after the mass migration on both Reddit and Twitter, I feel like the services are now significantly slower than they used to be. So I'm wondering whether I should have some kind of personal CDN/relay service for "caching" information especially medias or just create a new instace and federated to public Lemmy instance?

FYI, I have a private OpenVPN served on DO and 1L "server" that run Proxmox for existing services to my home. Should be okay to have a Nginx reverse proxy, right?

I setup a server that does not store any data so as to keep browsing fast for people using it. Its at lemmy.myserv.one and you can try it. Nothing really is posted there so it’s basically just so you can no overload another instance like lemmy.world.

Anything in particular you did so it does not store any data? I'm thinking I should try out the same on a cheap VPS.

You font make any communities and clear the database of cached content thats no longer needed after reasonable amount of time (as its hosted on the other instances the data came from) eg: PGPASSWORD=password psql --dbname=database --username=username --command="DELETE FROM activity WHERE published < NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days';"

Does stop top month or top year since you dont have data going that far back. Obviously if you keep it then you need more disk space, memory and so on and so on.
