📝 Migrating infrastructure off Coolify #Development #Webdev #Docker #Coolify #Tailscale

I've spent a while recently migrating my personal infrastructure off Coolify. Coolify's an excellent tool and one that helped manage the initial learning curve of managing and deploying things when I started to self host things. As I got more comfortable with the process, issues and details I found myself wanting to remove it as an...

I've been using #yunohost for a few months to #selfhost many apps.

Overall, I find it pretty cool for personal use.

But for more serious projects, I would feel better using #docker containers.

I've considered switching to #cloudron , but I don't see myself subscribing to a closed source software. On the long term at least.

I recently found #coolify and it looks interesting. I might give it a try.

Gotta love getting better at utilizing what is there.

In the past a lot of small machines (mostly old Raspberry Pis) were running services in my homelab.
Since I did not know anything about Virtual Machines or Containers, it was one machine = one service.
Over time I learned how I could migrate these to a Proxmox-System (mostly because I could not afford more hardware) and not to freak out, when (not if) one or multiple services went down.

And now, a lot of those VMs have been changed to docker containers (using #coolify though), reducing the used ressources further, so I could migrate nearly all services.

My homelab now only contains a Switch, the Router, a Raspberry Pi for Home Assistant (I just do not feel confident about migrating that) and the Proxmox-PC... it feels incredible, but it really does not look impressive anymore o.o

In Hindsight this is not hard or spectacular, especially for people who know that stuff inside out, but for little old Ben, this is a big step forward.

Ben is happy... and he needs to find a new usecase for those Raspis... or at least a few LEDs for the Rack :D

Mastodon Post / Thread
🚀 How to increase Mastodon character limit WITHOUT forking!

Tired of the "merge hell" when updating your custom Mastodon build? You can change the 500-char limit to 7500 (or more) while staying on the official Docker images.

This works perfectly for Mastodon v4.3.0+ and @Coolify users! 🛠️

The Secret Sauce:
Instead of rebuilding the image, we use Docker Volume Mounts to overlay two specific files and set Environment Variables.

1️⃣ Backend: Create a local copy of status_length_validator.rb with MAX_CHARS = 7500.
2️⃣ Frontend: Create a local copy of compose_form_container.js and set the fallback limit to 7500.
3️⃣ Config: In your docker-compose.yml, mount these files and add:
MAX_TOOT_CHARS=7500
MAX_STATUS_CHARS=7500

Why this rocks:
✅ Update-proof: Official updates won't overwrite your limits.
✅ Zero Build Time: No waiting for hours to compile assets.
✅ Mobile Ready: Tusky/Ivory will auto-detect the new limit via API.

Mastodon Bash Sitemap Generator is now live.

I built this lightweight tool to solve SEO indexing issues without the heavy overhead of standard Ruby tasks. It uses direct PostgreSQL queries via Bash, making it extremely fast and ideal for Docker or Coolify environments.
