First steps in the BSD world!
1) OpenBSD on VPS (Amsterdam)
2) FreeBSD on Raspberry Pi 4 (home)
I'm running a Wireguard connection between the two.
Next step is setting up relayd on the VPS to point at services on the Raspberry Pi server.

This article points to a common misconception around self-hosting.
The author tries hosting at home for a few weeks, & proclaims it is not the way. They then go on to argue for community managed server infrastructure instead (which is very much self-hosting).
Self-hosting does not solely refer to home-hosting ('on-prem'), nor sole owner-operator. It scales up to server infra in a datacenter, run & governed by those using it
So yes, the future is very much #selfhosted!

Increasingly feeling I should #delete my #GitHub account
I barely use it, anyway — just some historical repos
The horrific behavior of big tech is just too much to stomach
I think, for me, #federated and #SelfHosted are the future

my adventures in #selfhosting: day 230 (disconnected edition)
a micro blog post that celebrates the release of #Ghost v6 - and laments the fact I can’t upgrade to it at the moment (stranded in a remote place with spotty internet).
HUGE congratulations to @index @johnonolan and the whole Ghost team
I’m starting a countdown and hope I can type “ghost update” in Terminal in 12-13 days or so.
@socketwench As a bit of a clueless self-hoster, I’m using compose in my “prod” all the time. I have wanted to switch to swarm for a long time, but have been daunted.
The way i see it, when i go to self-host something, i look for the docker version. I usually see some idiotically long “docker run” command. Nobody is using THAT for production. So i end up converting it by hand into a compose file.
My self-hosting has multiple public IPv4s and multiple hosts (I’m a sort of micro-ISP). If I could transition to swarm mode I would. For now I am stuck with 3 hosts that have 3 distinct portainer installs and a bunch of compose files manually distributed/balanced across the hosts. It’s terrible. But I don’t know how to move it to swarm. I’d love to know how, but starting from scratch isn’t possible.
