Yes, should be easy to find. Nextcloud has a tool for that.

PostgreSQL makes it faster still.

In a way. I have a WordPress blog with an ActivityPub plugin to also publish to Mastodon. It’s on a different domain than my Lemmy instance.

Only thing I had to do was to set up Apache as a proxy for the Lemmy Docker. Apache can serve different stuff depending on the domain. Nginx can probably do that as well.

Sure. But serving files is the core functionality of Nextcloud. You can remove every other functionality. But the files app cannot be removed.

I’d argue that the primary function of Nextcloud is to serve files. Of course the other services lack other stuff, which is why I’m still using Nextcloud. But I still wish its performance was similar to pure file servers.

I compare it to a samba or (s)ftp share. I wish it was similar in speed and ease of use.

It’s become better since I migrated over to PostgreSQL. But it’s still not great.

Set up a weekly or at least monthly reminder to check for updates. That’s the most important thing to do. Outdated packages may have known security vulnerabilities.

Pretty sluggish for me as well. Bare metal install with Apache, PHP 8.3, since a few days PostgreSQL and the whole Redis memcached opcache whatevercache stuff. Next step would be to check if the AIO Docker is the magical thing that makes it fly.

Some 8 core CPU I’m too lazy to look up, 16 GB RAM and two HDDs. SSDs would probably help, I guess.

We definitely use the calendar on Nextcloud. Everyone has their own one and it’s shared with the other. We tried using tasks but that didn’t work out for us, but I’d say it’s more because of us and not for a lack of tools. Both work with open source apps on Android.

What’s worked best for us for our groceries is a dedicated Signal group. By now even our children are in that one.

If it’s really just three pages I would just build them with static HTML and CSS. Maybe use PHP to have common elements in a separate file, but that’s about it.

That was more or less the default of the PostgreSQL container and it ran like ass because I don’t have a SSD.

Basically I had to give MySQL a ton of RAM for Nextcloud and PostgreSQL for Lemmy. For now I’ve put both on the same PostgreSQL instance and let them battle out who gets the assigned RAM by themselves.

It’s fairly straightforward to migrate a db to a new postgres instance, so you’re not shooting yourself in a future foot if you change your mind.

That’s what I needed to hear. I’ll just try it out and see what works best for me. Stupid me didn’t even think of that.

I’m not really bothered about services going down all at once. The server is mostly just used by me and my family. We’re not losing money if it’s out for an hour or so.

If I went with a shared service I would run it natively on Debian Stable.

Lemmy currently uses a dockerised PostgreSQL service. I’ve got 16 GB RAM which is currently mostly occupied by both MariaDB and the PostgreSQL Docker.

Mythbuntu. It started its life as a MythTV server.

The auction servers are not really that different from the others. You get the same support. Every few years I hop onto a new auction server when it’s cheaper than my current one. Never had any problems. When a HDD dies I get a new one as quickly as with the normal dedicated servers.

What you do with it is up to you. I run most of my services on bare metal. I did some virtualisation years ago but didn’t see any benefits. I have one or two services running through Docker. That might go up with time, as it seems to be the easiest way to get something up with the optimal configuration.

I was really surprised when I learned that they have any locations at all besides Germany. I remember when they were just starting out and I spoke to Mr Hetzner himself about a support issue. Good times.

As far as I know Gmail and others also offer using your own Domain with them. Maybe that’s easier for you.

I’ve used tt-rss in the past. Don’t know what state it’s in currently.

If you have Nextcloud they also have an RSS app.

No, I’d actually be interested in that myself. I currently just rsync to another server.

For protection against ransomware you need backups. Ideally ones that are append-only where the history is preserved.
