Sono riuscito ad aggiornare #linkstack e sistemare il piccolo bug! - https://l.devol.it/@magostinelli (Ho dovuro rivedere gli spazi tra i link, che adesso funzionano diversamente)

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 111 (quiet edition)

Good morning Fedi friends!

I hope you had a nice weekend.

After backing up my two VPSs I am now staring at my #YunoHost dashboard thinking: now what?

It feels a little odd not to have to tackle any pressing self-hosting issues. Everything seems to be working well, including my manual installation of Ghost on a second (Ubuntu) VPS.

I'm now in maintenance mode.

I must confess in the past 24 hours I have spent some time browsing @yunohost 's app catalogue. So many fascinating things in there! But I am exercising restraint (for now, LOL!)

I'm very grateful for all the software I'm currently self-hosting.

On Debian (via YunoHost):

• #Fail2Ban
• #Friendica -> https://elenarossini.fr/profile/ele/
• #GoToSocial (this account!)
• #LinkStack -> https://elena.social
• #Pixelfed -> https://photos.elenarossini.com/ele

On Ubuntu:

• Fail2Ban
• My #Ghost blog/newsletter -> https://news.elenarossini.com
• #Varnish cache

I'm highly aware of my privilege and how lucky I am to be doing all this. But can I confess I'm a little bored? Thankfully I may have another big project on the horizon: upgrading my VPS and installing / self-hosting #PeerTube. But that will be for another week. Resting now and enjoying this sense of empowerment / digital sovereignty. Very grateful to be in this position.

Wishing you all a fantastic week!

Now you can easily reach all of the 2TonWaffle multiverse from within the #LinkStack page.

Hola #linkstack

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 89

Oh #PeerTube, you are making me do mental somersaults as I strategize about the best way to self-host my videos.

This newbie wants to ask: how many VPS’s are too many for someone who has little coding experience and has been self-hosting for just 3 months?

Fedi friends, I’m thinking of signing up for a THIRD VPS

Why?

My current setup:

5€/month Debian VPS with #YunoHost, where I’m self-hosting #GoToSocial (this account), #Friendica, #Pixelfed, #Fail2Ban and #LinkStack.
5€/month Ubuntu VPS where I am self-hosting my (upcoming) #Ghost blog (this will make me save a ton, compared to my current Ghost Pro plan).

Back to PeerTube: I could easily upgrade my #Debian VPS and install it there - the costs would be minimal and I would double my RAM and storage. But I am afraid of PeerTube’s consumption when it comes to bandwidth. As in: if I upload a video that for some reason becomes really popular, or if a bad actor decides to DDOS my channel, would that take down all my other self-hosted Fediverse instances? Since they are on the same VPS?

I could limit potential issues by having a dedicated VPS just for PeerTube.

What would you do?

And do you have recommendations for Europe-based VPS’s with affordable plans? (aside from Hostinger) I was thinking of #Hetzner…

Hace ya semanas del #vamonosjuntas. ¿Qué tal los ánimos?

Un detallito que igual interesa, El diseño de "jaula de oro" y su limitación de enlaces en perfiles propició la explosión de #Linktree y similares pero (¿sorpresa?) también ahí el negocio (no para ti) está en los clics.

https://mstdn.social/@linkstack #LinkStack es una alternativa de código abierto. Como en mastodon, puedes sumarte a una instancia o hospedar la tuya.

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 76

Monday morning, which means: backing up my #YunoHost setup.

I see that #GoToSocial has an update available but I'm too scared to upgrade it. Having my 4th cup of espresso and working up the courage to do it (I hear it takes a looong time). Hoping I don't break anything ​

In other news, I am LOVING my #LinkStack and having a glimpse into the links that are the most popular (LinkStack offers you a ranking in reverse order of the most clicked links when you log into their dashboard). Is anyone interested in me writing about it? For reference, here is what the front end looks like: https://elena.social

Off I go update my #GoToSocial, wish me luck!

#MySoCalledSudoLife #FOSS

I was never an avid #Twitter user, so "switching" to #Mastodon during the #eXit movement was quite easy (my last tweet was from mid 2020, and there where only 12 answers to other posts form 2020 till my switch to here in 2022).

However, getting rid of the #Meta services feels more difficult. Non the less, I made that cut now, as well, and am quite proud of myself for it.

On the way, I found a service that is not part of the #fediverse but as a #opensource product with #selfhosting capability at least in the close vincinity;

@linkstack is a replacement for the proprietary and profit-oriented LinkTree. You can run a #selfhosted instance of it, or choose from one of the nearly 20 different public instances listed at their website. I'm loving it, so far - and especially now, while switching away from all my proprietary social networks it is a great help to poiting people with one single link, to where they can find you in future.

Plus - as many other (proprietary) services do not yet support links to mastodon, pixelfed, and others ( #LinkStack btw *does*!), but all of them usually have a homepage field, this is the one URL that will help you out in these instances.

Here's mine https://linksta.cc/@pygospa

When I booked my train for #FOSDEM in November I was intimidated: will I feel like a fish out of water, since I'm not a developer?

Around that time @ilja recommended I check out @yunohost.

On Dec 17 I signed up for a VPS, installed #YunoHost and in the span of a month I'm now running:
1) a #GoToSocial instance @elena
2) my own #Pixelfed @ele
3) a #LinkStack
4) a #Ghost blog (upcoming)

So I'm a little less intimidated (but still a newbie).

Excited to connect with so many familiar faces

The rebellion will be federated & self-hosted

On Dec 5, 2024 I published this blog post https://elenarossini.com/2024/11/the-rebellion-will-be-federated/ on @ele@elenarossini.com

On Dec 17 I signed up for a #VPS.

On Dec 22 I installed #GoToSocial and began personalizing my little corner of the #Fediverse: @elena

On Jan 14 I installed #Pixelfed on my server: @ele@photos.elenarossini.com

Yesterday I installed #LinkStack on https://elena.social

All this feels really empowering and I wanna help others do the same!

Good morning Fedi friends!

On my to do list for today: finalizing / publishing a new article for #TheFutureIsFederated (a look back at 2024, plans for 2025) and... installing something else via #YunoHost: my own #LinkStack (for which I have the perfect URL)!

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Abbiamo sistemato un po' di problemi con LInkstack, ora è tutto tornato funzionante!

#LInkstack è l'alternativa etica ed opensource di #linktree, un servizio per creare semplicemente una pagina web personale e aggregare tutti i #link ai propri profili social e ai siti/progetti online, potete crearne una da qua:

https://l.devol.it

è molto utile se usata per verificare il proprio acocunt #mastodon e acquisire la spunta verde come quella presente sull'account @devol

@internet

I made a self-hosted links page using the incredible, and piss-easy to install, @linkstack
If I can do it, then pretty much anyone who pays for web hosting can do it.
