A little corner of calamity
It has been almost a year since I daily drive my EndeavourOS, ever since my current job requires me to use their laptop which is exclusively Windows. And in the meantime, my interest towards sysadminning (a verb now) my server has dwindled down to almost nothing, even though it has been a good part of my journey since the beginning of 2022.
It has been a year since I decided to start my journey in self-hosting. No, it is not a fancy homelab with AMD EPYC processor, or the newest shiny GPU, or even a beefy VM. I'll admit, those beefy homelabs look sexy as hell and it seems you can do anything (legal) with it.
On September 20th 2022, Caddy 2.6 was released and HTTP/3 became default settings. Well, now you don't need an obscure option to enable it! However, when I checked my (this) website on http3check, it seems HTTP/3 wasn't supported. I read that HTTP/3 is enabled automatically and no new settings is needed on Caddy. And that HTTP/3 is using UDP too.
My Pleroma, now Akkoma, instance relies heavily on sn0w's pleroma-docker repo, as you know in my previous post, since i personally preferred for applications to be dockerised for easy management.
But then, last month, i read something in my timeline, there is a new fork of Pleroma named Akkoma. Interesting!
This morning, I wanted to add self-hosted analytic script, Umami, to this site. I always liked the colourful graph and stats of a website traffic, and this should be a privacy-respecting way to do it without giving into the dreaded Google Analytics.
One of the joy of hosting your own blog is that you can customise it to your own liking. It should be noted, however, that you need some expertise to do what you want.
It has been two years since i joined the Fediverse, and in the spirit of self-hosting everything i can, i have set up my own Pleroma instance on my VPS.
First of all, shoutout to you guys on Linuxserver for maintaining such a high-quality list of Docker images.
Books always have a special place in my heart. And following my self-hosting excitement, naturally i'm interested in managing my (e-)books. Folks over on Linuxserver Awesome List have recommendation to manage your e-book collection, that is, Calibre and Calibre-web.
Well, i have finally rented a server to tinker with. Self-hosting has been on the back of my mind for the few years, and i'm excited. But now, how do i do it?
