Talos is amazing and if you want to start from a fully automated setup (GitOps, Renovate), I highly recommend using https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template

Glad you found your ideal selfhosting setup!

Enjoy!

Dococd + renovate goes brrr

It would be nice if you used Lemmy’s builtin “crosspost” feature: that way you can share across communities to reach everyone, but (some) client software we use won’t show it to us 7 times, because it knows it’s the same post.

Now I get this:

Docker Compose is really the easiest way to self-host.

Copy a file, usually provided by the developers of the app you want to run, change some values if instructed by the # comments, run docker compose up and it “just works”.

And I say that as someone who has done everything from distro-provided packages to compiling from source, Nix, podman systemd, and currently running a full-blown multi-node distributed storage Kubernetes cluster at home.

Just use docker compose.

PostmarketOS allows you to use upstream Linux

Old PCs are plenty powerful and compatible with everything, but if energy consumption is a major concern, an old phone can work too.

You are 100% right that Android is a very weird Linux and Termux is limited.

PostmarketOS is a project that enables installation of a full upstream Linux onto old phones. Then you can run whatever (ARM-supporting) distro you like on it, without weird kernel limitations.

Interesting approach but looks like this ultimately ends up:

• being a lot of babysitting / manual work
• blocking a lot of humans
• not being robust against scrapers

Anubis seems like a much better option, for those wanting to block bots without relying on Cloudflare:
