• caddyserver for reverse proxy
• docker-compose for ~75% of documentation
• logseq for notes, though I don’t keep much.

Docker and docker-compose are nice because every service you want to run follows the same basic pattern. You don’t need much documentation beyond the project docs and the compose files themselves

Edit: caddyserver can do automatic certs, even behind a firewall if you set up the api call method. Varies by registrar

Use any old computer you have lying around as a server. Use Tailscale to connect to it, and don’t open any ports in your home firewall. Congrats, you’re self-hosting and your risk is minimal.

I’ve been daily driving arch for like five years now, and this is just flat out not true at all. I agree it’s not a beginner distro, but if you know what you’re doing and know what you want it’s the best.

Arch is great for gaming, but it’s not for beginners

Dude, life is too short to wash spoons with your hands

second time doesn’t take two days, but yeah you’re right.

Those two days aren’t really spent configuring, they’re spent learning.

If people wanna steal my code they can steal it, it’s why I publish it. It’s not that good anyway

I don’t agonize over every line of public code or anything, I just make it reasonably maintainable and generalized enough to be useful to people who aren’t me. If it’s a throwaway bash script with hardcoded paths and such, why would I put it up anywhere?

Not really, If it’s throwaway then I don’t publish it anywhere.

My open source work is published under my real name because I feel like if someone is running my code, they should know who I am? Also it helps with my CV and such. I don’t go into politics or anything controversial though, keep it pretty professional.

Ubuntu is dead

Kinda showed your ass with this one

It’s a gag, I promise. He’s talked about it on their podcast

The guy who wrote it is the editor-in-chief.

First I’d ask if you need to open ports at all - if this is only for your family’s use then Tailscale or one of its alternatives can accomplish the same goal without opening ports in your firewall or worrying about security flaws in your hosted services.

If it’s for public use, maybe consider cloudflare tunnel?

Personally I use miniflux, which has been amazing. It offers the fever and Google reader APIs, which many phone apps can talk to which means the UI can be almost whatever you want (I’m using reeder on iOS)

It supports all the feed formats, but for sites that don’t offer a feed you’ll need some other solution like kill-the-newsletter.com

• If you don’t have a surplus of time and energy, self hosting is not for you. You’re taking on administration that normal people effectively contract out
• docker is worth learning and using. It’s one thing to learn, and with that knowledge you can run basically everything. It really does make your life easier

That’s fair, but I’ll point out that eating is sort of a subscription model.

‘dd if=image.iso of=/dev/do_not_fuck_this_up bs=4M’ is a complete tutorial

It doesn’t? Been a month or two since I updated the ISO but I’ve never had a problem
