Run It Yourself

I thought about using my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ as a NextCloud server, but research told me it would be too slow to be useful. Any cool useful projects I can do, without any extra purchases? I'm extremely low on money currently.

Ever since the Pterodactyl Game Panel software had changed theming in 1.x versioning I am left to the hands of 3rd party gaming providers to get things done. Which of course doesn't checks all of the boxes. :(

The issues? Lack of contrasts, or as I like to "call it" grey on top of grey!

Nobody can give me a feasible solution to either correct this or even to part ways to still be able to host a User Interface on my own server rental.

I am felt up with my Game Service shared provider's billing policies and I seriously trying to consider all options/help i might be able to get. Including trying to just rent a suitable VPS instead...

Does anybody know anything else that might help me runs Minetest gaming servers? Or anybody here who might be able help me sort this out?

Thanks you very much in advance!

I am looking for something which u can selfhost and have a web UI or client where u choose the game and launch it.

Edit: Something open source would be great!

I started self hosting with a home server last year, and had put it in a room in the house where there was an ethernet port.

Last week, me and my dad wired up the house with ethernet ports and a switch and now I want to move my home server from it's current location to a different room in the house.

Is there any sort of guidance or guide about how to properly move a server? I don't want to mess up my server since it is a repurposed old desktop. I also run Yunohost on it if that's important to know.

Hello!

I recently had issues with my self-hosted instance of Nextcloud so I started looking for an alternative to it.

I would like something that could allow me to make a local network of shared files between devices I choose, if that makes any sense.

I stumbled upon Syncthing but it doesen't seem what I had in mind: I understand that it replicates folders between devices, but I am looking for a way to distribuite files between machines. Again, like Nextcloud but without a central server to rely to.

Do you know if something of that sort exists?

Or if you have any other solution?

Thank you.

P.S. I am posting it here because it seems like some sort of self-hosting, but maybe I will cross-post it to the decentralized comunity.

I found AzuraCast but it seems that it doesn't work wit FireFox and Safari, but only with chrome to listen to music, and the DJ is a bit weird to use. I also found BottledRadio but have no experience on how it works. Any other one you may know of or can advise how to solve/work with the ones above?

I have a few single board computers at home that I want to try hosting some public facing stuff with, but what's the best way to deal with the fact that my home internet is not on a static IP? Would I have to host my site from a DynDNS domain and hope that when the IP changes, the DNS caches of users expire quickly enough to keep them connected?

I have a Raspberry Pi Zero W that is serving as my Pihole server, but that only uses about 10% of its very underpowered CPU, and I feel like I'm not getting my money's worth. Anyone have any lightweight project ideas I can run on it to use up more of its resources?

Could I run BOINC limited to 50% CPU usage on it or is it too slow to complete jobs on time? Could I maybe seed torrents for popular Linux distros on it without the rather weak Wi-Fi chipset getting overwhelmed and bottlenecking the DNS server?

Currently all my photos/videos are all stored in iCloud. I want to move these to my Nextcloud instance.

The Nextcloud iOS app does have a feature to automatically transfer an entire iCloud library to Nextcloud, but it's broken right now (and has been for several months, see this issue). Unfortunately it doesn't look like the iOS app developers are going to fix this any time soon.

Instead, I downloaded my photos/videos from privacy.apple.com, and I now have them all in archives. But their structure is all all over the place. I don't think I can use a hacked-together script to convert them to a sane folder/file structure because nothing is dated.

For example, I would want a simple structure like /{year}/{month}/{day}/{images}. But the iCloud archive's format is something like /Photos/{images}. Nothing is dated.

Any ideas about what I could do? It looks like my only options are just to have all my old photos in an esoteric folder/file structure, and have new photos/videos properly sorted. But that isn't ideal.

The only other option is to hold out hope that Apple eventually add an option, as they recently added a way to transfer to Google Photos. But I am not expecting them to add support for Nextcloud.

There seems to be a lot of options when it comes to companies to host with. Anyone have a favorite they'd rec to someone or companies to avoid?

Or, alternatively, anyone have recommendations for things to host? Things you're glad your self-hosting or glad you aren't self-hosting?

So I was able to install everything correctly, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do in order for people that don't have my same IP to see my files. I'd like to share my Jellyfin server with some friends so they can see movies there. I've already open the ports, but they can't still access them, I'm using elementaryOS Hera which is built on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.

Hi! So I'm using an open source RSS aggregator self hosted alongside my pi-hole.

Anyone know how the basics of making a website go from static to dynamic work? What I want to do is add more RSS feeds from any device on my network and have the changes synced network-wide. Right now though, adding feeds is stored as a local cookie on each device separately.

Here is the repository I'm looking at: https://github.com/sempostma/newsfeeder

Any ideas on how I can store the feeds info on the Pi instead?

The ActivityPub based music server bounces back!

Hello,

Which tools do you use to monitor services that you have self hosted and also to monitor system resources?
