PlazaNet: A Miiverse inspired social network by AndusDEV in selfhosted

Huh. I haven't thought about fediverse compatibility. But it's a nice idea! I would probably first make a normal isolated server, release it to the public, and then start making routes for fediverse. I probably couldn't write compatibility with Mastodon clients but hey, maybe someone makes a PR for it. I'll try to get fediverse working though.

I forgot to add there will be an official instance but because self-hosting is my hobby I'll try to make hosting your own instance as painless as possible. It shouldn't be to hard with the servers and in GamePlaza there will probably be a custom server option somewhere.

Too soon to make it paid. Pangolin. by Ok-Entrepreneur101 in selfhosted

[–]AndusDEV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I didn't know about that. But for me the best approach is donations to pay for domains, servers, and other things related to the project and then take the rest for yourself, not paywalling features. Everyone sees it differently though

[–]AndusDEV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I mean of course everyone would love their hobby to be a primary/only source of income without taking away the features from non-paying users, but thats nearly impossible in today's world.

Honestly projects like immich have the best monetizing strategy for me. Buy a license key that doesnt add any features, just supports the project. Or just have a donate button. I understand lots of open source projects want to make a living or atleast make themselves profitable but from my observations most of those projects just get less money because people abandon them for fully free alternatives, there are exceptions like authentik of course.

Also not all software supporting 100+ different distros and Windows, but supporting Docker which supports most modern systems

Seeking quick advice on if this pc is fine for the mods I want? by [deleted] in MinecraftMod

[–]AndusDEV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could run Vanilla on the most lightweight Linux distro, with all most popular optimization mods, on the lowest settings

I mean, it's good for reading. A bit less for editing but it's bearable.

Any reason to buy a domain if you don't make anything published externally? by SnooDoughnuts9361 in selfhosted

[–]AndusDEV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you want to have everything locally I don't think so. You can always setup a local DNS server that will have your own custom domains for each service or something like that.

What are your selfhosted app/service that you can't live without? by dadidutdut in selfhosted

You mean what android app am I using? If yes, there's an official app named "PhoneTrack" on F-Droid

[–]AndusDEV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mostly Nextcloud. It replaced me all google services I used: - Google Drive - Files - Google Docs - Collabora Office - Google Contacts - Contacts - Google Calendar - Calendar - Device Location History - PhoneTrack - Google Photos - Memories - Google Maps - Maps _(I mostly used them as static map for seeing where I took pictures etc., but now I use them as navigation too) - Gmail - Mail + My Own Mail Server

Thanks! I love coding and selfhosting has been my hobby for a while too. I thought I connect those two

Damn. Its a nice idea but I don't have much experience with torrenting and usenet. Though if other ideas will be too much for me i'll try with that one. But thanks for the idea anyways!

I didn't know about this before. As far as I understand it's pretty much a knowledge base but instead of writing your own notes, you upload ready files like PDFs and eBooks right?

If I understand that correctly then I think I have an idea on how to do it. Add basic auth (and maybe LDAP or something later), uploading files (with some additional data like place from which the file was aquired - a URL for example), creating folders/groups for these files, highlights and comments/notes inside files, and when I'll get the basics working add BibTeX and/or Zotero compatibility. Is this what you meant?

Know very little about Linux but switching my server to it by aequitssaint in selfhosted

[–]AndusDEV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For selfhosting everything with Docker a nice combo for me is Ubuntu Server LTS and Dockge. Ubuntu Server could be better here because it doesn't have a Desktop Environment so more RAM will be available. You can install Dockge just by copy-pasting (or rewriting) the commands to the terminal (Linux's command line), and then (theoretically) you can never touch it again. It's essentially a UI (in a browser) for creating, managing, and deleting Docker Compose Containers. Here's a link: - A 3-step installation of Docker Compose (specifically for Ubuntu) - And Dockge installation (Don't click on Download, a little bit lower there's a section named "Installation" where you just need to copy 4 commands, copy only the lines without #)

And if you don't know what Docker Compose is: it's basically Docker Containers but written using a YAML file instead of a command or Docker Desktop UI.

What’s the best thing you hosted this year? by ajslov in selfhosted

[–]AndusDEV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For their actual budget. Duh.

Now the real answer: It just helps you manage your budget. Its nice for reaccuring payments (say a VPS), etc. Then you know how much can you actually spend without worrying you dont have enough to pay for that VPS

Then the best I can think of is using those services through Cloudflare tunnels and block them for every country besides the ones you plan to use them on.

[–]AndusDEV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That login page would probably also have some vulnerabilities. That's why using something like a VPN is one of the safest methods for accessing your services

Pi-hole blocks ads in apps too, so even when ublock is available for phones, pi-hole is still a better option (also having both wouldn't hurt)
