In answer to the question "what softwares are you hosting?"
( long post warning )->
While I am good with things like flashing OS's onto all kinds of devices, and designing and maintaining my own website, I am a total noob at anything server related. I tried to setup a Yunohost server a little bit ago, so that I could self host a bunch of Fediverse related services, and all went smooth until it came to the port forwarding, which just confused me to the point I gave up (noting given I have a local network of a bunch of desktops vital to my biz, I didn't want to do anything that could compromise its security). I plan to turn the box I put Yunohost on, to running Open Media Vault on as a local NAS & local music server.

I do however pay for Bluehost to remote host my own website, & after discovered Softaculous, which allows easy installation of some platforms, some of which I can add as subfolders to my already existing domain, making it way easier & cheaper to configure. So I added a Piwigo photo gallery that I can upload to directly from my Android phone, and share either publicly or to various private groups - https://piwigo.org (or see the public part at https://totalsonic.net/photos ). I also added an Open Source Social Network instance - https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/ (aka OSSN), that I set up just for two users (my biz related blog and a personal one), so I can post public facing long form news to my website without needing to upload html - that's at https://totalsonic.net/ossn/u/TotalSonic

So, I'm not hosting anything Fediverse or ActivityPub related right now, but I am working on more "digital sovereignty." Given a Friendica instance I was on is shutting down tomorrow, & that I've experienced outages on the Diaspora instance I am on, self hosting makes sense towards having continuity & forward access into the future to ones posts. Think I am most interested in getting a PeerTube or similar instance going though, while there are plenty of well maintained public instances for micro-blogging & similar (for which I am really liking Wafrn now) seems to me we really need to get away from YouTube's near monopoly for video.

Congratulations on your #ActivityPub Open Source Social Network ( #OSSN )
plugin, @redegelde

It's been a pleasure watching it come together.

It's great when more platforms enter the #Fediverse, esp a project like OSSN.

Esp awesome since OSSN is installable in so many PHP hosting control panels, like CPANEL's Softaculous. It's like it is opening the Fediverse to a entirely new class of self-hosters.
