despite how they don’t block the triad - but at least PieFed.zip allows individual users to do so, if they wish. And after they figure out how, and that there is a need for such, which nobody it seems will officially recommend to them

On piefed.zip a new user has hexbear, grad and lemmynsfw put in their account filter. And the welcome DM that is being sent includes info that we do this and how to manage account filters. So as long as the new users read the DM, they from the start have the info how to block instances for themselves

We don’t defederate often. I think it has been the selling point for some of our users. But PieFed offers much better blocking (compared to Lemmy at the time when I migrated), so we can have an instance for both - those who want everything, and those who don’t

And btw, effectively speaking we don’t do vote quota on PieFed.zip

Migration of user with joined communities etc works. But if you want to migrate whole instance, that won’t be so easy. Mainly because other instances will still think yours is Lemmy. I think that in the long perspective what would be the easiest would be to

1. create subdomain something(usually people put piefed here).downonthestreet.eu
2. set up piefed on it (basically a separate instance)
3. mirror everything from downonthestreeteu (I don’t know how it’s done but it was done for lemm.ee)
4. migrate your user

Technically it’s a migration to another instance but you’d keep your history etc

running pods: 98

Oof, my lab is lightweight compared to yours but I’ve been thinking of putting up a grafana for mine too. Would you mind sharing how much resources it takes to run and roughly how much storage does, let’s say, a month of data take? I know that it all depends on what one puts inside but just as a reference point

Domain registrars do id verification now? I’m also in Europe and the mail is only for sending me the reminder to pay

Congrats!

Compiling your own kernel is very intimidating at the beginning and one learns a lot after plunging down that rabbit hole

After some time it gets pretty straightforward. Just don’t forget to enable the modules for your drive and filesystem (it has been a while, maybe that’s not needed anymore) and the rest you can always fix with another compilation

That part where you got stuck even after switching hardware: yikes. I wouldn’t expect that

track different things, tasks, and who’s doing what and when. Think of inventory, shifts, etc

I agree that Nextcloud with Collabora might be your way to go here, but this line made me think: maybe kanban board would be more what you need? I use Nextcloud’s Deck for that, but even the devs say it’s not production ready and it is true. It gets slow with more cards

Other software like this. From my notes, not vetted, not checked, just gathered in case I want to migrate out of Deck. Should be mostly open-sourcish

Of course, NC provides a lot more, you could even have your own Meet (Nextcloud Talk), so maybe it’s a good idea to have it anyway

Also, there is OpenCloud. IIRC correctly there is some history between NC and OC but I don’t remember the details

EDIT: since you initially started with searching for a service, there are offers where you maintain the NC but the most technical part is done by a company. I remember Elest and Hetzner but probably there are more

I guess you might want to ask this question in one of the self-hosting communities (there’s a bunch that are active, so I’m not linking one)

But getting back to the topic:

• jellyfin needs very little
  I’m running mine on a laptop with 4 threads at 2.6GHz and on 8GB of RAM it was fine with a bunch of other stuff running
• OwnCast
  IDK but for personal use I’d expect to also have low requirements
• Minecraft server
  That part I’m not sure about. I’d expect it to be a bit more demanding
• play some steam games
  I understand you’ll be running those on another computer and only streaming via OwnCast, so that goes back to earlier point

I guess an SD card might be better. RasPis work from those for years just fine. Just don’t kill the power, power down nicely. SD cards are fragile on that

I also thought about running from RAM but I guess the transcription might be needing the RAM too. So that route probably depends on how much RAM there is available

Mount points in fstab

Might be! It’s just that having a container like that feels easier than looking after bare-metal secondary db

Maybe I’ll just pg_dump during Nextcloud maintenance window and get into BorgBackup putting the dumps on NAS? If I have to revive the db from the dead, I’ll probably just use the dump anyway, so that’s one hoop less

2nd DB would be on the NAS but its not being used by the app, so as long as it’s asynchronous writes, you should be okay

But then I have to maintain it too. And it will be using RAM that was supposed to only be for servicing RAID. On a platform where RAM can’t grow

For sure my setup will be growing and changing with time. But ATM this “prod” db lives only on laptop’s SSD

replication in the database it self

AFAIK db replication would require running another db on NAS. Which I tried to avoid

I have another cronjob that takes a backup into the first database docker init folder. Older backups end with -date so they won’t get picked up by the init script. You can do similar with just docker.

Yeah, that’s why I’m thinking to do. Have a container that watches changes to db data and rsyncs those into the NAS for safekeeping. My main goal in all of this is so db data won’t die with laptop’s SSD

Oh, that’s interesting! Sounds a bit crazy but I’m interested in what you find out :D

I wonder if in this case VMs don’t make it work better. There is another layer between the process and NFS than pure docker+volume

keep the DB on the most powerful CPU and quickest disk

Thing is, I expect that NAS to be faster than the SSD on the laptop that runs a bunch of stuff. Even NC log file will take up some IO

But I get the point you are all making here, I’m changing course :)

it’s generally not a good plan to put anything that needs realtime access remote to the device processing it

So in your opinion putting whole nextcloud_data as NFS mount is also a bad idea? Keep NFS as external storage and/or only user data?

AIO docker

It was too blackbox to me. I had some issue and found it hard to debug. fpm+nginx is more my speed
This BorgBackup app is available only in AIO?

You can easily just try it out though

Yeah, but if that setup leads to problem in a few months, I won’t catch that. That’s why I decided to ask and judging by the other answer, I dodged a bullet here

Now I’m thinking of setting up something like this. Maybe even in another container? One volume with data bound, one with NFS and a bunch of scripts in entrypoint to rsync(?) between the two on inotifywait. There is lsyncd but it’s been unmaintained for two years now

🤷 I guess that link aggregating platform might be more about “come to me with a link or thought to discuss” than “tell me something about yourself”
But that’s just me saying how I “feel the room”, not that it should be that way

Well, there is !newcomers@piefed.zip
