Self-hosting is becoming popular among a certain kind of user,
-- say the typical readership of ItsFoss.
There is a simple explanation for this shift:
people want their data, dollars, and destiny back.
Centralized platforms optimized for engagement and extraction are colliding with real-world needs
— privacy, compliance, predictability, and craft.
Linux, containers, and a flood of polished open-source apps have turned what used to be an enthusiast’s pro…

Self-Hosting is Rising and Linux Users are Leading This Revolution
Self‑hosting isn’t anti‑cloud; it’s pro‑agency. It’s choosing the right locus of control for the things you care about.

Why a self-hosted blog and not Instagram? #bigtech

Why a self-hosted blog and not Instagram?
You may have asked yourself why we're self-hosting our own blog instead of publishing on social media to potentially reach a wider audience.

Paperless-NGX has become the true successor to #DEVONthink 3 for me, which now focuses on AI and changed its payment model. The automatic document classification is impressively accurate. Container hosting makes self-hosting straightforward. If you want modern, intelligent document management that works cross-platform with full control,

After months without working search, I deleted the elasticsearch 8 container and created a new one with elasticsearch 9. Currently hydrating it with tootctl search deploy. 12.721.688 documents, 2 hours left.
I hate self hosting. (Still thankful to everyone who makes it possible.)

I had some weird ass Jellyfin issues so I tried to log into my NAS with the web interface to check on it and could not... so I SSH'd into it to do a reboot and somehow instead rebooted the computer I was sitting at. Went to a different computer to try and that one was powered off. Went back to the one I rebooted on accident and it didn't reboot so I started it up. Went back to the other one and it was up so I used that one.
Self hosting puts you in control.

Wow, what a wonderful day at @… ! They put on a great conference and I was honored to have been part of it. I held a privacy workshop and gave a #fedvierse talk. I just posted the worksheets from the workshop and the presentation from the talk over on the …

For hosting our internal source code repositories, we're using #gitea. There are a bunch of other options and all of them seem to mimic github's look and feel. Gitea was the one I found out about first some years ago and it stuck. It has an issue tracker and works well for doing pull requests and reviewing them online.
There's a commercial cloud hosting offer and an enterprise opt…

Forgejo – Beyond coding. We forge.
Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge. Easy to install and low maintenance, it just does the job.

Thinking about self-hosting a chat system but it's really weird how militaristic the websites are !
E.g. rocket chat https://www.rocket.chat/ and mattermost https://

Where should we recommend events & community host long videos that isn't YouTube?
* Vimeo - paid, embeds work, recently acquired is a bad sign
* @… - free, no embeds

Video on Demand (VOD) options for ATProto
We were discussing video hosting for later playback aka “video on demand” VOD for videos from ATProto events to embed on web pages and attach to posts. Note: Stream.place is great for streaming! VOD is on the roadmap. What options are there for storing and playback of videos? Hosted Vimeo Has been a good platform for many years. Recently bought by Bending Spoons, so likely going to get worse. Might be OK for the short term. Example from EuroSky Live “showcase” page: Videos are …

The true #matrix experience, it spins then errors out.
@… I honestly gave matrix a try (self hosting) but this is ridiculous, I’m unable to enter an unencrypted chat room. This is now before and after the cloudflare downtime

Google Safe Browsing has started blocking websites using #Mailcow for self-hosting email. Google calls them dangerous, and they're right: dangerous to their data-driven business model.
Yet most people still use #Google services. They talk about privacy, even attend

Thinking about hosting my own mastodon instance for some art projects. And I'm sure you all would appreciate me not spamming my art from this account 😉
Digging into it, I'm confused about #relays. Obviously, I don't want to go for the biggest #relay since it's a self-hosted…

Self-hosting #forgejo on my lan was a bit more of an adventure than I expected, especially around the https side of things. But in the end, success!
