ChristopherSuccess! 🎉🎉🎉 All of my services, including this instance, have successfully migrated to my new (new to me) server. I use @<span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://mastodon.social/@yunohost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YunoHost (yunohost@mastodon.social)</a></span>. It's a great way to run server apps without being a complete expert, but allows (sometimes requires) the use of the command line. A great way to learn.<br>You don't even need fancy equipment. All of this can be run on an old desktop or laptop. Most of this can even run on a Raspberry Pi.<br>So, what am I running on my server? <br><ul><li>#<a class="hashtag" href="https://the.talesofmy.life/search?tag=Streams" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Streams</a> - Social Media via Fediverse and federates with Flipboard, Threads, and millions of other sites.</li><li>#<a class="hashtag" href="https://the.talesofmy.life/search?tag=Nextcloud" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nextcloud</a> - Google Photos & Drive alternative, complete with object, landmark, facial, & location recognition & in-browser document editing.

If you're looking to own your own data, this is the path to digital personal sovereignty. You do not own your posts or photos in Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter. You don't own your files or photos in iCloud, Google, Onedrive, or Dropbox. All these companies have to do is close your account for any reason (or no reason) and you've lost it all. Can you imagine losing all of your photos stored on Facebook or Google? 😱<br>Self hosting is KING! <br>#<a class="hashtag" href="https://the.talesofmy.life/search?tag=Yunohost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yunohost</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://the.talesofmy.life/search?tag=selfhost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selfhost</a> <br>@<span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://mastodon.xyz/@nextcloud" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nextcloud 📱☁️💻 (nextcloud@mastodon.xyz)</a></span> @<span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://social.linux.pizza/@vikunja" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vikunja (/vɪˈkuːnjə/) (vikunja@social.linux.pizza)</a></span> @<span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://hachyderm.io/@syncthing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Syncthing (syncthing@hachyderm.io)</a></span> @<span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://fediversity.site/channel/streams" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Streams (streams@fediversity.site)</a></span> @<span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://framapiaf.org/@peertube" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PeerTube (peertube@framapiaf.org)</a></span> @<span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://mastodon.matrix.org/@matrix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Matrix.org Foundation (matrix@mastodon.matrix.org)</a></span>
