Jitsi Meet is a free open source self-hostable video conference platform, intended as an alternative to Zoom etc. More info:

🌱 jitsi.org

It can be used through the web or mobile apps.

Self-hosting is possible through @yunohost at apps.yunohost.org/app/jitsi and there are also manual self-hosting instructions at jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/…

There's a Jitsi managed hosting service for large organisations at jaas.8x8.vc

Thanks — that is good news, especially for Loops.

Unless I am missing something, though, Pixelfed's OIDC support is not yet operator-friendly: I could not find a documented, supported .env configuration for issuer URL, client ID, client secret, scopes and redirect URI.

So far I have had to modify configuration inside the container, which makes upgrades and reproducible Docker deployments unnecessarily painful.

A first-class .env interface — ideally documented and usable through Docker Compose secrets — would make Pixelfed's OIDC support actually practical for self-hosted instances. Is that planned as well?

#OpenIDConnect #Pixelfed #SelfHosting


Full agree: the Fediverse needs to become easier and more familiar to use.

But that should mean open, self-hostable standards too. I would really like to see #OIDC / #OpenID Connect as a built-in option — like #Mastodon supports, or #PeerTube can gain through plugins — alongside Sign in with Apple, Google, etc.

For Pixelfed, an easy .env-based configuration for a generic OIDC provider would be ideal: issuer URL, client ID, client secret, scopes, redirect URI — done. That would let instance admins use #Keycloak, #Authentik, #Zitadel, their university/work SSO, or any other compatible provider.

Does #Loops have plans for generic OIDC login? And is this planned for #Pixelfed as well?

Making sign-up familiar matters. Making it interoperable and self-hostable matters just as much.

by day i take things apart to see how they work n self-host the results. this instance runs on one small vps next to ~30 other services i maintain myself, gopher hole included, because a protocol from 1991 that still works perfectly is worth keeping alive.

Hey Fosstodon 👋

I’m new to Mastodon and the Fediverse, and happy to be joining this community.

I’m a software developer, mainly using Python and Kotlin at work. In my free time, I’m exploring Linux and FOSS, and started building my homelab about two months ago.

Looking forward to learning from and talking to others, and sharing small projects and milestones along the way.

So, Fediverse auf eigenen Server gezogen. Interessante Erfahrung mit dem Move.

Und jetzt macht sich schon bemerkbar dass Kleinst-Instanzen halt keine nutzbare (Hashtag-)Suche haben. Also mit relay.fedi.buzz und tags.pub beschäftigen. Oder gibt es was besseres?

#fediverse #selfhosting


Wow i have just seen that my single user gotosocial instance needs 173GB of storage. 25GB is the SQLite. Really i could swear that ist was aroudn 40GB in total before the last update. No wonder my Hetzner Storage box is completely over the limit.
#gotosocial #selfhosting


Hello fellow #gotosocial users - how is your instance doing and how much GBs of storage does it use at the moment? I'm at 2.2GB at the moment 🤔

Amazon's Twitch is now quietly feeding its streamers' content into GenAI/LLM by default 🤮 (Source: kotaku.com/twitch-is-now-using…)

If you want an alternative where you have total control and ownership of your own streams, @owncast is worth a look:

🌱 owncast.online (website)

🌱 @owncast (account)

OwnCast accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc. People who follow you will see in their timelines when you go live, and can click straight through to your stream.

Semi-related, you see servers for #ActivityPub related services that you can host written in various languages - Node.js, Go, Rust etc. and in one case .net

But PHP - unless you're self-hosting at home - still seems to win purely on the basis of being cheaper to host with most providers due to not requiring a VPS instance which comes in at £4/month (Lots of providers look cheaper but are usually introductory offers - £100/yr seems typical - probably similar number in € or $)

Help me out Fediverse - What are some great zines with frequent articles on self-hosting?

I'm imagining adding something I can subscribe to receive a print copy by mail, but RSS feeds are also great.

Boosts appreciated for reach (or a link to a thread if I just missed it already.)

Wer seinen eigenen Mailserver betreibt, kennt das Problem

Secure Your Server: acht Checks, ein Scan, für immer kostenlos


Ich betreibe neben vielen privaten Domains auch meinen eigenen Mailserver, da hängt viel an einer sauber konfigurierten Domain: DNS-Einträge exakt, TLS sauber, SSH gehärtet. Wer das prüfen will, trifft auf ein Dutzend Scanner, die fast alle dasselbe tun: sich einen einzigen Ausschnitt anschauen und ab einem gewissen Punkt ein Konto oder eine Kreditkarte verlangen. Deshalb gibt es jetzt Secure Your Server: acht Kategorien von DNS bis PGP in einem einzigen Scan, dazu ein echter Mail-Zustellungstest, für immer kostenlos, ohne Konto, ohne Tracking. Teste deine eigene Domain, bevor es jemand mit weniger guten Absichten tut.

Hi! I'm Steven from South Korea, currently living in Japan. 🇰🇷🇯🇵

I've been running a Mastodon instance called **Mustard** for the past four years, and I'd love to share my experiences running a community server here.

I'll also be posting about the things I enjoy. I'm interested in learning languages—especially Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, and Russian.

I'll probably use this as my English account, but if you'd like, I'm happy to share my main Korean account too.

I also enjoy traveling, exploring cities, listening to music, and keeping a journal.

Feel free to say hi! I'd love to meet new people.

#Introduction #selfhosting #fediverse #mastodon #language


New instance, new #introduction! Following the announcement of toot.community's upcoming closure, I took the matter in my own hands and deployed very own GoToSocial instance.

I am a #developer, #photographer and #tinkerer from Paris, France; I mostly post about #technology and its impact on society (would you believe how anxious I am rn?), my #SelfHosting adventures and whatever I find interesting or funny. I also have a blog where I post things that do not fit in a toot or would be of public interest; you can find a few of my recent posts in my profile.

See you around!

really thanks for the interesting episode, but i would like to share my thought about the Kodi / Jellyfin topic. You are right Kodi is a configuration nightmare but comparing it to Jellyfin isnt the correct approach.
While Kodi is a very customizable local Mediaplayer you are comparing it to Jellyfin which is a complete client server infrastructure.
Someone who already has problems with Kodi's overwhelming settings will not manage to setup a Jellyfin server either.
And another thing about Jellyfin: althought it is a great project we should not forget that they build up onto min. 5 years Emby development before they forked from that (which then went closed source). For quite some time there was no real evolution in terms of the server and the clients also tend to be quite bad. Thats the reason i stick with Emby till the day.

ok sysadmin side of fedi, what do you recommend for lightweight wikis?

i want a wiki or wiki-like service with a small memory footprint, user-submitted html, and some sort of access control so you can make a page which is only editable or viewable by a certain group.

im looking into bookstack and wiki.js, they both seem usable but with different issues. bookstack is opinionated in ways i disagree with (all links are absolute links, all pages are contained within a book-and-shelf hierarchy, non-admins cannot create protected areas).

wiki.js is a little bit better but it seems to be in rewrite hell so i'm worried i'd be unable to get a stable version.

my use case is that i want to make a playground where people can edit pages together or share them privately, to host for a small (<10) group of friends. bonus points if its memory efficient so i can add this to a pi-like server at some point.

Gerade gesehen: in der Immich App kann man die öffentliche URL seines Servers eintragen und (!) die private IP Adresse. Im heimischen WLAN wird die genutzt, unterwegs die URL. Super. 👍

Liebes Fediverse.

Meine bisherige Instanz bei Anoxinon liegt leider im Koma. Daher einmal #neuhier

Ich interessiere mich für #kunst, #musik und #freiesoftware.

Ich mache lehrreiche Videos zu #linux und #selfhosting die ihr auf #peertube findet: tube.sp-codes.de/c/tuxwiz/vide…

Meine Leidenschaft sind #linuxmobile Handys mit #postmarketos und ich nutze dort einen Tiling Windowmanaget namens #sway mit #sxmo.

Wer hier nur noch #bahnhof versteht, dem empfehle ich meine #podcast Folge bei #gnulinux_ch : gnulinux.ch/ciw089-podcast

Ich würde mich über #austausch mit euch sehr freuen und bin auf euch gespannt. Gerne auch #retoot für mehr Reichweite.

I came into possession of some old solar panels so I made a solar-powered web server with a raspberry pi. It's been sitting in my garden for two months running continuously on sun/battery power.

Perhaps the continuous uptime is not surprising given the extreme weather in London this summer.

It's been running the nginx start page for most of that time, but I finally made a little zine site and hooked it up to the web.

Channeling Gilbert White, Bruno Latour, lowtechmagazine, whathaveyou. Not much content there as yet.

Dein Router bekommt ein Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum

Dein Router bekommt sein letztes Sicherheitsupdate irgendwann, und bisher hat dir das niemand gesagt. Ab Dezember 2027 muss jeder Hersteller ein Support-Enddatum nennen und bis zu diesem Datum kostenlos Sicherheitsupdates liefern. Für freie Software gibt Brüssel Entwarnung. Reden wir drüber!

Runnig your own server incl. TLS stuff is always quite funny. You only want to try a new service and you need a certificate for it. In the progress of obtaining this you realize the still unsolved certbot problem where is does not delete old acme challenges from OVH. Okay there ist no update for that using certbot on Debian 12. Okay i could switch to the docker version of certbot, but that does not include the desec.io DNS Provider provider plugin, which i need for the new domain.
I could now make my own docker container for that, and keep that updated.
Or i make that switch to the Lego acme client which includes numerous DNS Providers and cleans up acme challenges in OVH just fine.
Btw still have no certificates for the new domain 🫠️

Spent a couple of hours updating my Home Assistant dashboard, new features:

  • slimmed down the buttons, extra functionality becomes available if the light is on etc.
  • removed lights that are managed by a group
  • moved stuff around to fit the three column layout better
  • added a person tab, this is the start of building more automation for when either me or my wife are out
  • better greeting!

Overall I think it looks a bit cleaner, contemplating getting rid off the weather widget or making it smaller somehow.

Folks self-hosting on the fediverse:

I am setting up a #GoToSocial instance for myself only.

It looks like #relays are the answer for populating timelines and making sure your own posts find their way beyond your bubble.

But I am wondering about resource usage. What are the cost efficient ways (resource cost, but also literal VPS cost!) to improve my timeline and my own posts' reach on my own single-user #GoToSocial instance?

#RelayServers #Selfhosting


Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeLab and #SelfHosting

There is a @homelab bot that replaces the old gup.pe homelab bot.

Mention it in your homelab or self hosting posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the homelab posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.

For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.

In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.

Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation.



Got my own domain name, set it up for my server and sent an email from it.
I feel the power coursing through my veins.

Next up is figuring out how to host a blog.

Thank you @yunohost!
