Id much prefer people just posted on Lemmy.

Given that you can add Lemmy users in Mastodon / Friendica I think you can follow them from an account on any of those. Lets see as I follow my Lemmy account on friendica.

Im just new with yunohost.org but it does seem to make installing applications very simple. Users, email, reverse proxy.

And I learn something every day. ;-)

Aim on Day 1 of yunohost. Running on a VPS Today but planning on moving it to a local server when I get my OpenWrt routing sorted out .

So this is 100% a really common situation. I don't know any of my friends that aren't hovering at about 96% of their gmail capacity and don't want to pay. In fact that's me today. Hence I've been looking around at self hosted alternatives and had previously looked at extracting my emails from Google and loading them in from local storage into Thunderbird - However I was playing around with Yunohost today and randomly uncovered this page - https://yunohost.org/es/email_migration I'm not sure how relevant it is but points to potentially some approaches. I can't vouch for them but I'd love to hear from anyone who has used imapsync or larch

I'm on day one of Yunohost after months of trying to work out how to approach hosting things like Nextcloud and struggling through bare metal installations, trying to slowly get my head around Docker. Its like suddenly seeing the light .. I mean I really didn't think I would almost have an email server running today. (Its this a dangerous thing?)

I have a friend that uses the Go Cardless for importing data into FireFlyIII for several months now (May at least six) https://docs.firefly-iii.org/tutorials/data-importer/gocardless/ - Happy to put you in touch if you want to talk to them. - I'd actually like to find a UK Credit Union that would support data import for Selfhosted people. I think there would a really good fit. I'm also on day one of using YunoHost to spin up self hosted applications (Today on a VPS tomorrow on my local RaspberryPi ) I might fire up an instance of Actual.

I'd love to know how many people use Actual / Firefly to demonstrate that there would be interest for a Credit Union to look at offering such a service.

Sorry that should be coopcloud.tech

I have been looking.at the same thing. Basically alternatives to Google Workplace or MSFT 365.

https://lemmy.ml/post/21772726. I think most people are using a hosting providers email and web hosting and then maybe running Nextcloud and other apps themselves though there are some providers who are doing integrated email and Nextcloud.

There are things like coopcloud.tech and yunohost.org that appear to be trying to provide.out of the box self hosting 'recipies' Im just starting to look at yunohost but just for me / the family. - Id personally love to meet people and work through using these together as I am not an expert. It would seem that these might be the 'killer app' for self hosted alternative cloud services but Im not sure and they might not be quite mature enough. I have know knowledge of the admin overhead.

Google and MSFTs free for non-profits mean that clubs/small charities end up using those two anyway.

coopcloud.tech

They have a handy comparison - https://docs.coopcloud.tech/intro/comparisons/ might look at Yunohost - If anyone has any experience I'd been keen to catch up. I'm a newbie though

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah there does seem to be some crossover. I get the feeling that coop.tech is thinking more standardised solutions for multiple people / organisations where dokploy is more bespoke . configs individuals/ individual orgs.

 

I am thinking that this might be a bit over the top but Im interested if anyone uses the tools and recipes designed by coopcloud to deploy their self hosted applications.

 

When looking for plugins how do people sort through all the 'free' plugins that sound great but are actually 'fremuim' where all the key features are actually in a PRO version?

How do you locate the fully featured proper open source plugins that are well maintained and used?

 

Im sure this has been asked before i juat can't find where it has been - Maybe need to work on how to search Lemmy better. But...

Id like to eventually self host some sevices that require external access. While I have IpV6 addresses my IPV4 is dynamic.

Whats the best free way to be able to point some domains/ subdomains I have to my external dynamic IP and keep it updated. Im running OpenWrt on my router. - So possibly should be posting there.

Free Dyndns services seem to be a bit crap. Do I need to pay for a VPS? (seems to defeat the point of self hosting)

 

I'm doing a quick review of the Addons that I am using on my Windows PC. I've had a look at some of the previous posts to try to get an idea of where things are at

Currently I have the following Container related Addons but I think things have moved on a bit since I looked at this.

This means that opening Facebook and Google automatically goes into relevant containers and using Switch I can create separate containers for Work, Banking etc.

I noticed that I'm not using Mozzilla's Multi-Account Containers

Ideally I'd like to be able to:

  • Have Facebook and Google Open in their own containers
  • Potentially open separate containers for different Google Accounts
  • Allocate other domains to open by default in a specific container (e.g a list of Bank websites into a specific container) but be able to override that
  • Have links from Thunderbird open in relevant containers

What are people using in terms of Container addons?

 

Just a bit or a wandering mind on my part but one of the issues in the back of my mind is what happens to whatever self hosting I setup if something happens to me.

Ideally I'd like to be able to know that in case of emergency Id be able rely on a good friend or two to keep things going.

My thought was that would require some common design patterns/ processes and standardisation.

I also have these thoughts because eventually Id like to support other family members with self hosted services at their places. Standardising hardware, configurations etc makes that much simpler.

How have others approached this?

 

This is a sort of a cross post but I was thinking maybe to get some visibility on the issue of UK public agencies requiring the use of private social networks to engage with them - Maybe a petition? Im surprised that someone hasnt started one already..

 

Ive always wondered. - Should I be adding relevant hashtags to Lemmy posts related to the subject of the post to make the content more findable on other Activitypub services?

 

My Android Phone allows you to run two separate copies of installed applications and a second space where you can run a different profile for apps (Think a Personal or work persona). The stock file manager clearly captures a range of personal and usage data and information for ad targeting. I'm therefore looking for an alternative open source File manager that I could use that allows me to access files in both profiles as the stock one does. Any ideas?
