Hello,

​

I am selfhosting my dns and I am having issue with A record. I don't know how or where to add it.

I googled and it says I need to add the record to /etc/named/ folder on the vps where the domain is pointed to.

​

​

Thank you in advance

So I have researched about self hosting your own email server such as Mailcow but it seems pretty divided on whether or not you should do it due emails potentially not getting delivered due to spam filters and such. So I'm kinda not interested in self hosting so I'm wondering what is the next best option to get my own email ideally for free but maybe settle for really cheap?

Hi all, all the tutorials I find on the Internet do not answer my question.

I have Windows Server 2022 on which I want to run my website. So far, I have used hosting, e.g. Bluehost, where parking a domain is child's play. How to create a name server on Windows Server where I can later park my domain? For example:

ns1.mydomain.com ns2.mydomain.com

I have symmetrical Internet access with static IP address. All the tutorials I find on the Internet describe how to create a DNS server for a local network, and I need to “open myself to the world”.

Secondly, is it possible to create two name servers so that each leads to the same IP address but to two different websites? For example:

ns1.nameserver.com and ns2.nameserver.com ———> 137.220.. ———> 192.168..* ——-> website 1

And

ns1.secondary.com, ns2.secondary.com ——-> 137.220.. ———> 192.168..* ——-> website 2

Thank you in advance for your help, but I'm a complete noob in this matter and I would really like to learn how to configure it.

Has anyone successfully got a Unifi Controller working through a Cloudflare Tunnel. I spent way too much time trying to make it work this evening before reverting back just a basic A record pointing to my Unifi server IP.

I was able to completely lock down my firewall with the exception of the ports necessary for the Unifi controller. Would love to somehow make this work. I was able to hit the unifi interface and access the controller, but all sites devices showed disconnected assuming because the CF proxy is redirecting the inform port 8080 to 5443.

Any suggestions?

Hey guys!

A year or so ago I tried hosting a federated matrix and synapse server. While at the beginning it seemed nice, the moment I tried to join a large room it died completely for 10-20 minutes while blasting my DNS server with 10K+ requests. Sometimes at the end it wouldn't join, while filling the logs with errors. It really didn't seem like a good user-experience. Ironically, one of the groups I tried to join was the support group, but I failed, because it was too big.

I am wondering if it has improved since, or it's pretty much the same.

At the same time, I'm also wondering if there's a good, fast self-hosted alternative, that kinda just works.

Greetings fellow self-hosters!

I wanted to see if other people might be interested in a project I've been working on - hopefully a few people on here will find it useful

I've tried a few different map, planners, and various gardening apps to try to manage my homestead better. I do a bit of orcharding, landscaping, and gardening, and wanted an app that would help me be able to keep track of where I've planted things, and what they were, as well as to keep track of critical infrastructure around my lot. I didn't really find an app that ticked all the boxes I needed for this, so I decided to learn python a bit and made GoGrow as a pet project over the last few months.

Image annotation

Journal

GoGrow allows you to upload any .jpg or .png image (DNG and RAW is supported right now but experimental) for annotation, and then add your own custom SVG markers/icons or basic lines of whatever color you choose onto the image. The GoGrow app makes a folder to store each uploaded image in with its own SQLite database for all of your marker and line data relating to that image, as well as another database for journal entries relating to these markers or line objects.

This flexibility in this system along with the built in rich text editor allows for journal entries to have relevant markers and lines data linked to them, making it easy to track progress on a project or homestead over time, and allow for building of knowledgebases around projects.

All of this data never leaves GoGrow, and can easily be exported out, something I was initially very concerned with when I was looking for apps with which to manage my own homestead and projects.

The GoGrow app is still in the early stages of development, but I feel that it's progressed enough that I'd like to get some feedback from people on what other features might be good, or if there are any UI or UX things in particular that can be improved on.

It's all open source, free, and self-hostable - and (I think) relatively easy to get going with docker or just running as a python flask app with a few command line commands. I might consider offering linux and windows executables in the future if people would want that

You can check out the GoGrow project on my github here

Feel free to message me with any feedback or suggestions.

Edit: removed some words. I need more coffee

I’m trying to change the color at the top of the page around the status bar area. I’ve seen other pages do it. Apologies in advance. I tried to Google, but I really didn’t know what keywords to put in, so my queries were basically word soup.

what I would like

I have been looking for a cheap cloud storage solution where I could store my backups and I've stumbled upon https://www.storj.io/ . Apparently it's some decentralized storage solution and I was wondering if someone was currently using it and what was their experience with it. (for backups or something)

They're 0.001 cent cheaper per GB than blackblaze which is the cheapest cloud I found, so i'm considering using them, it's not gonna make a huge difference for the amount i'm gonna use but I'm still a bit curious

I was thinking about migrating my services to self management k8s cluster, mostly for education purposes. I have some low traffic services running on one dedicated server on Scaleway now - there's some nextcloud, portainer, hastebin (sort of pastebin) mysql database, personal wiki, couple of half-dead blogs, stuff like that. Nothing resources heavy, nothing that needs tight SLA. I plan to add a little of my own software anytime soon, but I don't expect it to be very needy as well.

I'm planning on going with 3 nodes with min. 2 cores and 4 GB of RAM, and an additional service for storage. Does anyone here had experience with self hostes kubernetes? Do you have any advices? Do you think nodes like these are enough or I should upgrade (or downgrade)? Can you reccomend some providers that could offer this setup at low cost?

Hey all,

I'm looking for a personal photo blog app, that I can self-host on my Synology.

It needs to be simple, allow me to manage content, and add simple text descriptions/comments.

Something in a style of https://len.to/ but with a CMS and login page.

Cheers!

currently i have few websites running on a single apache instance. everything works with the typical port forward setup. let say theres 5 websites with different domain names (some of it are sub-domain)

however, due to some special circumstances, some websites need to move to other server, different location, behind cgnat. i already set the tunnel up, however for whatever reason, it doesnt seems to work/point to the wrong websites/application, the default apache page to exact.

the domain/subdomain is not directly managed by me. but it is already pointed to my server through cname records. i do have other domain (unlrelated to the website) managed with cloudflare, thats what it tried to use with for the tunnel.

before:
website1.com -> (cname) s1.server.net
website2.com -> (cname) s1.server.net

after:
website1.com -> (tunnel address) tunnel1.server.net
website2.com -> (tunnel address) tunnel2.server.net

is there any proper/correct way to do this?

Hi there,
I'm looking for a Windows VPS hosting, that has a 16 core cpu and around 64 gb of ram.
Anyone got a provider? Or are there some small providers in here that can help me out?
