What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 hour ago

If you are mostly hosting files, open media vault has minimal command line, and it's mostly administered through a web admin. It's still fairly complex however, and I definitely recommend reading the manual thoroughly and sticking with easy tasks at first. https://www.openmediavault.org/

This is just the tip of the iceberg, the example that's easy to cite. Over time in his videos he made a welcoming environment for fascist and hateful groups to feel welcome and at home. The more apt comparison is that if you run a bar, and you don't kick Nazis out, you own a Nazi bar.

Maybe they're trying to turn their AI VC money into real money? IDK what windsurf is.

Can anyone explain what this is

One time I asked my brother how he installed iPhone apps that aren't in the app store. He just said you can't ???

I could never figure out NFS ... ( it only works with unix usernames??) But since I have smb servers I can use that with Android

In the thread it looks like in the US you can't copyright the shapes, but in the UK, you can for 25 years. Also the .ttf file that contains the code to make the font render correctly at low DPI is copyrightable in the US.

I would rather have unlimited with extra steps than unlimited with extra money

Looking for feedback on simplifying self hosting (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Hi all,

I started self hosting nextcloud only. Now I have a domain name and I would like to selfhost more services and websites on subdomains without having to open up more ports on my router.

  1. Is it reasonable to use a reverse proxy server to avoid opening up more ports?
  2. Can I use a reverse proxy manager that simplifies SSL certs, etc?
  3. Can I put the HTTP/HTTPS services behind a reverse proxy, behind a free cloudflare DNS proxy to mask my IP address?
  4. And put other non-http services on the real IP address.
  5. Will all of this be more prone to failure and slow compared to forwarding 443 and 80 directly to my nextcloud server?

The other services I would like to eventually host and have accessible externally are

  • Jitsi
  • Mastodon instance (hoping to make some bots that mirror other social media to bring them into Mastodon)
  • blog website
  • Veilid maybe
  • OpenVPN over TCP on 443 (to get through restrictive firewalls on e.g. school wifi networks that don't whitelist domains)
  • Synology to Synology backup.

I'm hoping to use Yunohost on a RPI to simplify hosting a lot of these things.

Here's my plan where I'm looking for feedback. Am I missing any steps? Are my assumptions correct?

  1. Install reverse proxy on yunohost; configure cloudflare DNS and freedns.afraid.org to point towards the reverse DNS server.
  2. Configure the reverse DNS to redirect various subdomains to
  • the raspberry pi running nextcloud
  • the other raspberry pi running openvpn
  • the Synology running the backup service
  • services running on the yunohost raspberry pi

I have not been able to find good documentation about how to configure the yunohost reverse proxy, or how to deal with HTTP headers, or have correct certificates on all the subdomains as well as the reverse proxy. Looking for advice on how to move forward and or simply this setup.
