I’ve been saving all of these today. Thanks a bunch!

And they PAID to be there!

Oh that’s dope. How many hours are you running? Do you also use them for things like encoding or something like that?

Sweet!

What’s up is everything I’ve been running and down is what I haven’t.

not working

I haven’t been able to get friendica to connect to Maria DB, so I’ll eventually try just MySql. Grafana isn’t running bc I would need to change a lot of things to get an exporter into each container and the truenas apps don’t really allow that configuration - fine if you have docker compose though, which I’ve started doing more and more.

new

I just got up and running with Stirling pdf, a free (and paid) PDF editor. That looks pretty sweet.

But I’m now also using 15GB of the 32 on the system, which is still plenty for Arc cache for me

what I want

I want to rent a VPS to host various fediverse apps, probably Lemmy, pixelfed, and write freely to start, for the nomad/expect communities. I’ve been looking at netcup and they have some decent arm offerings.

I’d like to put Talos Linux on it so I can get some kubernetes experience. They have a good sized server for €10, so I could expand to add a DB server or one specifically for logging and metrics.

I was looking at Hetzner, but I’ve read that their block storage is super slow and causes timeouts on DB.

Of course, can I even run these apps on arm? I guess I gotta find that out.

One thing I’d like to do is make a web page that makes signups super easy and would create an account on all services, ideally. Not a huge deal of that isn’t reasonable, but it’d be nice to allow doing it once rather than multiple times. If I could get sso, that’d be good, but I don’t know how supported that is.

I’m actually watching a video about that, complete with studies and everything.

you’d probably be better off setting up your own domain server and trying to get that working

That’s technically a subdomain and the same reason email went with @

That’s TrueNas. It can run docker compose files so I’m abusing the crap out of what it’s supposed to do haha.

Yeah, just me and my family for now. I have gotten a lot of knowledge setting stuff up and hope to eventually get some VPSs set up for some public Lemmy, pixelfed, and maybe mastodon instances for digital nomads and expats.

Eh, it’s a document viewer. I figured they’re referring to Plex and jellyfin when they say media.

All these. I just added calibre web and may phase out Kavita.

Elena Rossini (@_elena@mastodon.social) is a journalist who’s gotten into the fediverse and self hosting with Yuno Host. She’s documented it on her blog. It’s worked out really well for her.

This is super cool! You really get a lot just by making a FE for the lemmy API. Good work! 👍

Who cares. Do it!

I don’t even know what voice to image in my head for this. A raspy pikachu worn out by life? What does that sound like?

I haven’t tried those, so not really, but with open web UI, you can download and run anything, just make sure it fits in your vram so it doesn’t run on the CPU. The deep seek one is decent. I find that i like chatgpt 4-o better, but it’s still good.

The coder model has only that one. The ones bigger than that are like 20GB+, and my GPU has 16GB. I’ve only tried two models, but it looked like the size balloons after that, so that may be the biggest models that I can run.

I got it working with my 6800XT. I’m running deep seek r1 14b (somewhere around there) and the deep seek coder V2. I have a link to a blog with those instructions

For me federation is working to mastodon, but I don’t think comments are really out yet, but I use cactus comments for it, but that doesn’t federate to mastodon, it federates to matrix. It also requires a matrix server, which was a total pita to set up.
