I do host some stuff myself 😉 but there’s one thing to keep in mind.

Don’t self host stuff that your family still needs after you’re gone. Unless they are self host nerds like you. I stopped self hosting our mail and docs for example.

Would you agree?

I did register writefreely.world planning to host that one day, but I need some more selfhosting nerds to help out running all these instances :-) The foundation is now already running a few dozen Fedi instances :-D

I run a pixelfed and misskey on the same server, and used to run a mastodon besides that. No issues. (I use docker)

Depends on what sort of invoices. For my invoices for billable hours, I use Kimai

When I turned 50 this year…

I hadn’t either until a few years ago. It’s something worth considering.

(I’ll add links / descriptions later)

I host the following fediverse stuff:

• Lemmy (you’re looking at it)
• Mastodon (3 instances)
• Calckey oh sorry, now FireFish
• Pixelfed
• Misskey
• Writefreely
• Funkwhale
• Akkoma (2 instances)
• Peertube

And these are other things I host:

• Kimai2
• Matrix/Synapse
• Silver Bullet
• XWiki (3 instances)
• Cryptpad (2 instances)
• Gitea
• Grafana
• Hedgedoc
• Minecraft
• Nextcloud
• Nginx Proxy Manager
• Paperless-ngx
• TheLounge
• Vaultwarden
• Zabbix
• Zammad

Anything that the family uses. Because when I cease to exist, my wife isn’t gonna take over self-hosting! So e-mail, chat, documents etc.

Ooh… Silverbullet looks really useful!! Just installed, need to figure out what I can do, looks like a lot of functionality!

I really like Joplin

Oh too bad. I run it at h-y-p-e-r.space, so I’ll just continue to use Synapse for now. Don’t want to add a subdomain

I’m still running Synapse. Could I migrate this to Dendrite or others? Or would I have to just re-install and lose all messages…

I think I should own .world

Yes, terminology… I mean single instance. And although you can create pg_dumps of separate databases, a true (online) backup of separate databases is difficult. Tools like pgbackrest or barman don’t support it. (I mainly focus on Postgres)

Backup / restore gets complicated if you have multiple apps in 1 dB

I run XWiki in Docker.

I do now!

Yeah it’s one of the domains I would love to have but GoDaddy has registered a bunch of them, trying to resell for big $$ which I refuse to do.

Yeah I don’t need to be the flagship for everything ;-)

• Powerful: Organizations & team permissions, CI integration, Code Search, LDAP, OAuth and much more. If you have advanced needs, Forgejo has you covered.

Selfhosters wanna host. But many people don’t. (Ergo: lemmy.world, mastodon.world (GitHub anyone?) so maybe people would like forgejo.world And if not, I’ll use it myself! :-)
