Success! 🎉🎉🎉 All of my services, including this instance, have successfully migrated to my new (new to me) server. I use @
YunoHost (yunohost@mastodon.social). It's a great way to run server apps without being a complete expert, but allows (sometimes requires) the use of the command line. A great way to learn.
You don't even need fancy equipment. All of this can be run on an old desktop or laptop. Most of this can even run on a Raspberry Pi.
So, what am I running on my server?
- #
Streams - Social Media via Fediverse and federates with Flipboard, Threads, and millions of other sites.
- #
Nextcloud - Google Photos & Drive alternative, complete with object, landmark, facial, & location recognition & in-browser document editing. Includes tasks, calendars, RSS Feed reader, Forms, Map location history, Notes, Music & Podcast player.
- #
Syncthing - Device to device file sync. No cloud needed. I mostly use to sync my Bible pdf markups & notes in Obsidian.
- #
Calibre Web - Ebook website that syncs books to you Kobo ereader.
- #
Audiobookshelf - website for audiobooks, podcasts, & ebooks.
- #
Actual - Home Budget Software.
- #
Peertube - Video sharing site similar to YouTube.
- Matrix via Synapse - Encrypted Chat which should be the replacement of all other chat services due to its flexibility.
- #
Vikunja - A to do app with kanban & collaboration.
- #
WordPress site - Website hosting for multiple sites, including our family website, my personal website, Tales of My Life website and a few others.
I'd be glad to help anyone wanting to learn how to get started. If you're looking to own your own data, this is the path to digital personal sovereignty. You do not own your posts or photos in Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter. You don't own your files or photos in iCloud, Google, Onedrive, or Dropbox. All these companies have to do is close your account for any reason (or no reason) and you've lost it all. Can you imagine losing all of your photos stored on Facebook or Google? 😱
Self hosting is KING!
