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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

What I'm curious about is running a server only for myself. Am I gonna have problems with being defederated? I'm wanting to run Matrix right next to it on the same domain but they seem much more open to the concept of personal servers.
it's alright, i run a personal server with closed registrations. looking for new communities is a bit glitchy, you might need to search a few times before it appears.
e: one thing i have to note is that docker-related documentation is somewhat inaccurate and, in my opinion, their setup is a bit overcomplicated.
Using their docker set up as well and I thought it was quite lean. Out of curiosity, what do you think is overcomplicated about it?
I've followed the official guide on how to set it up using docker. I had to tweak the compose file in a way it was not mentioned in the docs. Also I have an already set up nginx web server and while I was able to set up a reverse proxy vhost to the reverse proxy that was defined in the compose I wasn't able to get websocket working. I thought of removing the proxy entirely from the compose file and configure the "main" nginx server for lemmy, I just gave up and removed everything because I felt like it doesn't worth the time.
