  • Isn’t my dad the hosting provider? I ordered the hardware, he connected it to his switch and his electricity and pressed the button to start it the first time. From there on I logged in to his VPN and set up the server like I would at Hetzner.

    But you’re right it doesn’t really make a difference. I feel the only difference it makes for me where I post my questions on Lemmy if it is in a !selfhosting community or a !linux community.

    From a feeling perspective, even if I use Hetzners cloud, I feel I self host my single user PieFed instance (and matrix, my other websites, mastodon, etc.) because I have to preform basically the same steps as for things I’m really hosting at home like open-webui, immich, peertube.




  • I did that first but that always required much more resources than doing it yourself because every docker starts it’s own database and it’s own nginx/apache server in addition to the software itself.

    Now I have just one Postgresql database instance running with many users and databases on it. Also just one Nginx which does all the virtual host stuff in one central place. And both the things which I install with apt and manually are set up similarly.

    I use one docker setup for firefox-sync but only because doing it manually is not documented and even the docker way I had to research for quite some time.





  • Nicely done!

    I did my first ESPHome just a couple of weeks ago too. I always wanted to measure the CO2 in the bedroom, because my wife always closes the door when we go to sleep (she wants to prevent the cat to go in and sleep on the bed because she is a bit allergic to it). And I sometimes wake up in the night and feel it’s such bad air that I have a hard time to fall asleep. I suspected that it’s the CO2.

    Now that I can see the numbers it was much easier to explain my reasoning to my wife:

    We still don’t have a solution for it, but at least now in the summer we can crack open the window. But at least we understand the problem a bit better :D

    I have a baby at home and that makes it impossible to keep up with all the updates. Reading the release notes? God damn, I’m glad I have the time hit the update button once a month and then pray to god that it doesn’t break anything. If it does then it’ll take months before I have time to investigate.

    This led me to abonden HA from the summer house already. My dad’s HA has been turned off for three months too because I just can’t find the time to fix it, and at home it’s running but I have only one type of ZigBee things still working, other things are just broken like my script showing random pictures on the TV.

    I really wish for a LTS version. I don’t have those problems on my Server where I run Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
