@ocean Honestly, I didn't know cloudflare domains were that cheap. Also, yes, there's eu.org and a couple other ways to get free domains.

@virtuous_sloth @selfhost @selfhosting @selfhosted @mastoblind @main No, my situation is weird. My domain is hosted on Porkbun.com but its nameservers point to Vultr.com, where my WordPress install is hosted on a friend's server. Porkbun won't let me edit DNS records or do much of anything with my domain unless I change back to the default nameservers, which would break my WordPress setup.

Hi everyone! How are you all doing tonight? I just had a frustrating experience trying to set up a free #domain or #subdomain for my #SelfHosted services. Unfortunately, I can't use my laniecarmelo.tech domain because its current configuration doesn't allow me to add subdomains.
I discovered EU.org, which offers free domains, and decided to give it a try. However, they require you to have authoritative #DNS #nameservers before requesting a domain. I tried using #Cloudflare, but it wasn't authoritative. Then I looked into Hostry.com, Hurricane Electric DNS, and FreeDNS.
Hostry requires you to add DNS records for your domain before using their service—but how can I do that when my domain doesn’t exist yet? 🤦‍♀️ As for FreeDNS and Hurricane Electric, both have inaccessible #CAPTCHAs on their registration forms with no audio alternatives! 😡
At this point, I'm so frustrated that I've decided to take a break from figuring this out. If anyone has tips for setting up a free domain or knows of accessible DNS services, I’d really appreciate your advice! 🙏

#SelfHosting community, how do you get notifications about your projects? in c/[email protected]

@jdw @selfhost @selfhosted @linux @selfhosting Not sure what you mean. I have a Raspberry Pi with MiniFlux, LinkAce, and a bunch of other stuff on it. The only thing I'm not hosting is the WordPress site.

@remakingeden @selfhost @selfhosted @linux @selfhosting Yeah I don't want to add a whole log, just alerts that backups were done successfully or if something goes down, or a daily summary of how my system is doing. I'll look into Pushover.

#SelfHosting community, how do you get notifications about your projects?

I'm setting up a couple of #BASH #Scripts to back things up and notify me about events on my #RaspberryPi, but I've hit some roadblocks. Here's my situation:

- I know #email is one option, but I'm not set up for it yet. My domain is on porkbun.com, but its nameservers point to vultr.com, where my #WordPress site is hosted. The Vultr server is managed by a friend, so I don't have access to add #DNSRecords for platforms like #Brevo. I've asked him to add the records but am waiting on that.

- I've been using a #Discord webhook, but I've run into issues with rate limiting when scripts send too many messages. Long messages also cause errors.

Now, I'm exploring other ways to send notifications. Does anyone have suggestions for reliable methods or tools that work well in self-hosted setups?

After exploring #R2E, I've decided it might not be the best fit for my needs. Here's why:

  1. R2E doesn't support #Inoreader's #OPML format, requiring manual feed addition.
  2. I realized I have many feeds and need a more comprehensive solution.

I'm now considering #Miniflux, which can manage #RSS feeds, #Podcasts, and #YouTube subscriptions in one place.

Until I get my #RaspberryPi for Christmas, I'm weighing two options:

  1. Self-host Miniflux on my #Windows PC using #Docker
  2. Use their $15/year hosted plan temporarily

Fellow #techies, especially those interested in #accessibility and #SelfHosting: What would you recommend? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

#Blind #techies, I just found out #vmware doesn't officially support #ArchLinux, and I think that could be part of the reason why things aren't working right. Is there another accessible virtual in c/[email protected]

@fastfinge I was thinking about it, and I want to work on my computer, not my phone. I guess I either need to use a different Linux distro or try Virtualbox.

@fastfinge I'll look into it. Never heard of it before. I have an iPhone but it's an iPhone 13 Mini and not in the greatest shape, so probably not good for that kind of thing.
