@some_guy Everything is very responsive. I haven't had any trouble with responsiveness at all. Lol right now the only trouble I'm having is that I removed Monica CRM and BookStack and BookStack because of Monica accessibility needs and BookStack not really being that useful, and I'm trying to install Pleroma to play with that, but Docker's having some weird DNS issues where it keeps trying to use IPv6, which my ISP doesn't support, even though I've disabled it in my daemon.json.

@Xanza Not sure what you mean. I wanted to use my services with my domain. I tried a reverse proxy by itself and it wouldn't work because my ISP blocks ports, so I set up Cloudflare instead. Then I found out my services would work better with Caddy, so I set that up. I also originally wasn't using Unbound, but then I realized my services were having trouble communicating, and I thought it would help to have more control over DNS rules, which it has.

@toastal My ISP blocks ports. Cloudflare was the only way I could get reverse proxying to work.

[-] RareBird15@caneandable.social 1 points 2 days ago

@tofuwabohu Yes, I'm running Docker directly on the Raspberry Pi. IDrive automatically backs up the folders you specify at a time you choose. I think it uses Cron or something.

๐ŸŒŸ Self-Hosting Journey Update! ๐ŸŒŸ

After weeks of work, I'm excited to share my self-hosted setup! ๐ŸŽ‰ I'm running everything on a Raspberry Pi 500 with Stormux (Arch Linux ARM-based), 8 GB RAM, and a 512 GB SD card (planning to upgrade to SSD or NAS as soon as I can afford it). Here's what Iโ€™ve built so far:

๐Ÿ”ง Services in Action:
- Development: Forgejo, Code-Server, Woodpecker CI
- Productivity: Joplin Server, Monica CRM, Homepage dashboard
- Monitoring: Prometheus + Alertmanager, Grafana, Netdata, Uptime Kuma
- Networking: AdGuardHome + Unbound, Tailscale VPN
- Tools: MiniFlux, Linkding, TheLounge
- Management: Portainer, Cockpit, Watchtower

๐Ÿ”’ Security & Access:
- Caddy + Cloudflare Zero Trust/Access for reverse proxy & SSO
- FirewallD + Fail2ban for extra protection

๐Ÿ“ง Emails Powered by Zoho ZeptoMail:
All email-capable services (e.g., Forgejo, Joplin) are configured for reliable notifications.

๐Ÿ’พ Backups: Using IDrive's 5 TB plan for peace of mind.

This journey has been challenging yet rewarding! ๐Ÿš€ I'd love to hear your thoughtsโ€”especially tips on scaling storage or optimizing performance. Let's chat! ๐Ÿ’ฌ

@jyarbrough @selfhost
@bravemonkey @selfhosting @selfhosted @linux @MangoPenguin @geillescas Yeah, I'm very tempted to go back to the way I had things, which allowed me to access services with my Raspberry Pi's IP and a port number. Since I don't leave home much and I'm not the ISP account holder, this is starting to seem like more trouble than it's worth.

[-] RareBird15@caneandable.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

@geillescas @selfhost @selfhosting @selfhosted @linux I'll have to see about this. I'm not the account holder and the one who is, my stepdad, isn't exactly tech-savvy. My router did have a firewall blocking traffic, but I changed its security level and looked at the rules, so that shouldn't be an issue anymore.

[-] RareBird15@caneandable.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

@MangoPenguin Nope, public IP starts with 69.58.

I'm new to self-hosting and struggling to get my services accessible externally. I'm using Traefik as a reverse proxy on a Raspberry Pi 500 running Stormux (Arch Linux ARM-based). My public IP resolves correctly via Dynu DNS, and ports 80 and 8444 are forwarded in my router. I've configured Traefik to use port 8444 for HTTPS, but external connections time out. Iโ€™ve tried:
โ€ข Forwarding ports 80 and 8444 in my router
โ€ข Allowing ports in iptables and FirewallD
โ€ข Setting my router's firewall to low security
โ€ข Verifying Traefik is listening on port 8444 locally (works with curl)
โ€ข Using Authelia for authentication (middleware configured in Traefik)
Internal access works fine, but external access fails. Could this be an ISP block or something Iโ€™m missing? Any advice is appreciated! ๐Ÿ™

Hi #SelfHosted community. I've figured out a lot of my setup. I now have a new domain, laniesplace.us, just for #HomeServer stuff. It's set up through Porkbun with Dynu for #DDNS. I've now got #Traefik, #TailscaleVPN, #Linkding, #Forgejo, #Dokuwiki, Code-Server, #Portainer, #Netdata, #Watchtower, #Cockpit, #Pihole, #MiniFlux, #TheLounge, #Filebrowser, #UptimeKuma, and the #Homer dashboard service installed. I'm now trying to set up #Authelia so I can have single sign-on to my services. For some, it's working now, but I can't seem to get Linkding to work no matter what I do. This is on a #RaspberryPi 500 with 8 GB RAM and a 512 GB SD card, running #Stormux, which is based on #ArchlinuxARM. Can anyone help? I'll reply to this post with all my relevant config files in separate posts. What's happening is this: Linkding is supposed to be available at bookmarks.laniesplace.us. When I go there, I see a 401 unauthorized error and a link to sign into Authelia. Once I sign in, though, it redirects back to the page with the 401 error. I've been trying to figure this out for hours with no luck. Files will be in replies to this post.

@fmstrat Ah yeah just noticed you're on Lemmy. Yeah I'm posting from Mastodon.

Would anyone who knows #Traefik and #YAML or #TOML be willing to help me out? I'm trying to get Traefik set up with my new domain but running into trouble, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can send you my traefik.toml and dashboard.yml files.

@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.

[-] RareBird15@caneandable.social 1 points 4 weeks ago

@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 serviceโ€”but how can I do that when my domain doesnโ€™t exist yet? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ As for FreeDNS and Hurricane Electric, both have inaccessible #CAPTCHAs on their registration forms with no audio alternatives! ๐Ÿ˜ก
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, Iโ€™d really appreciate your advice! ๐Ÿ™

#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?
