Unrelated but I’m very impressed with how well this posted to Lemmy from Mastodon. Exceptional

I have a racknerd KVM VPS running a socks5 proxy and a mastodon instance. It’s been great!

I used this: https://redact.dev/

I checked earlier today and, at a cursory doomscroll, everything appears to remain deleted so far

It surprises me too on some level because it does seem very obvious.

I’ve also learned on multiple occasions over the years that I value different things and I value them much more strongly than a large swath of the selfhosting community. That may speak to whether or not people selfhost for ideological, practical, or other reasons that I am unaware of but, at the end of the day, I find myself disappointed that the version of the selfhosting community that I imagined and thought I was on the same page with is simply not the selfhosting community that exists.

Lol I used a script to overwrite my 13 years of fairly active redditing with a join-lemmy.org link

Good call. I’ll try and do that but I am easily distracted so may end up disappointing you

Edit: Should be good now

I went ahead and just cloned it to my personal Gittea and made it public

If what you need to accomplish can be achieved via shell commands, it would be hard to beat OliveTin for this use case.

I solved that for myself by making genre folders and just tossing books in them haphazardly as I download them.

I gave Calibre a brief shot and was immediately put off by how big and clunky it was. I’m sure it would have been perfect if I gave it more of a shot and spent time tweaking.

Kavita has been my solution for the last probably 7 months and I’m loving it. I don’t need anything outside of “put book in place” and then “Open Kavita, see book” and it has been perfect for that. It’s essentially plex but with books in terms of how using and maintaining it has been.

“Youtube considering incentivizing piracy”

If I’ve already run the last version recently is there a reason to run this new version immediately?

For me:

• Document things (configs, ports, etc) as I go
• Uniform folder layout for everything (my first couple of servers were a bit wild-westy)
• Choosing and utilizing some reasonable method of assigning ports to things. I do not even want to explain what I need to do when I forget what port something in this setup is using.

Ubuntu Server (Or really just Ubuntu) is probably going to be the easiest in terms of package support, general support, and usability. It’s pretty straightforward and there’s infinite tutorials for everything you could possibly want to do

holy shit EDIT: Just got a pretty sick little vps for a year for like $40. Thanks!

HUZZAH!

Because you’re looking? I guess I don’t understand the question.

edit: lol wtf happened

Here are the Lemmy and Lemmy-UI sections of my docker compose

I would imagine you could simply paste your domain and ports into those and get up and running. I can also provide the entire docker compose file with my secret stuff removed if you think that would be helpful
