Selfhosted

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 have an Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop that is currently not being used. Would that be good? Overkill? Under powered?

I use Debian for my main distro for my personal laptop. Would that be good? Should I have stable or a rolling release?

Is there anything special that I need to do on my home network setup? Create a DMZ perhaps?

This is my first self hosted project, so any information or advice is appreciated.

I was reading the instructions for installation on the official misskey web site.

Is there a better fork?

https://joinsharkey.org/ seems to be the only one that survived so far.

Ask in the Sharkey Discord (sorry that's the only place they are) if any better forks have arisen than Sharkey yet. They'll be frank

I thought iceshrimp has arisen from the ashes of firefish.

I swear the misskey fork lore must be hundreds of pages long by now.
