Hey, for those of you out there who self host something, preferably either an ActivityPub thing, website, or email (but open to hearing about whatever unusual and/or exciting things others may self-host) what tips do you have for someone who wants to get into self hosting? Thanks!

​​ (pls boost for federation) attention social fediverse instance admins who host their instance using their personal computer!!!

i have several questions about self hosting, if you're willing to answer that'd be very much appreciated
​​

- what are your system specs?
- what software are you hosting?
- how many users are there? how much activity is there?
- how does it run? how many resources does it use up (federation counted)?

thank youuu

How do you make a Globel feed on a Mastodon instance move more? It's at the slow pase of like 1 post every 20 minutes.

Hmm it's been a few days and I'm still getting days old posts pushed to my self hosted instances timeline like they're new posts. Any way to fix this? I'm on akkoma #selfhostingfedi
hmmm now I can't follow people from my private instance and their profiles aren't loading, even when i have fedibuzz set up for that instance β€‹ damn self hosting is tough lol; any admins got any advice? #selfhostingfedi

So the first option is to set up Mastodon, Pxelfed, Kbin, and whatever else on your own domain. It's even possible to get most of them to use SSO, which is really well done. I took a look at https://v.st/ and I was impressed by all the services they've stitched together and made easy to setup.

It requires you to maintain all those apps and have some sort of docker service to run them, but that's doable

I suppose my main objection to this sort of thing is that these apps are all designed for large numbers of users, and the amount of infrastructure needed to run them is pretty big, that then requires a lot of upkeep for a single person service. If I wanted to add something like a writefreely instance to it, then I either have to work out (and possibly code) an SSO plugin, or accept that it will have to have its own auth.

This might be an easy way to get started at #SelfHostingFedi, whilst one waits for something better to come along, but it's far from optimal
