Axel KnaufRight in time for today's Digital Independence Day I am celebrating my one-year-anniversary of self-hosting this @gotosocial instance and fediverse account.
https://fedi.4x31.dev/@id/statuses/01JR3RS5MGBABWRKH9DV17F8QH
Small resource footprint, easy to self-host and with a cute sloth as mascot + in combination with an awesome web client, @phanpy => an unbeatable duo:

After a little bit of reading up on the docs I've now set up my personal #fediverse instance using #GoToSocial - smooth sailing so far, esp. with the provided compose file for use with podman: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/getting_started/installation/ I am using a #Caddy reverse proxy in front for SSL termination, since it does all the LetsEncrypt ACME stuff out of the box and the virtual host config is literally three lines long: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/patterns#reverse-proxy This also includes WebSockets without additional parameters, so live updates from clients will work nicely. Speaking of clients, I now settled with panphy.social. A modern web-based UI, highly configurable, and the #vim-like key bindings are lovely <3 #selfhosting
