Self hosting: real game starts today

@selfhosted

So, it's done: my main domain has finally got its transfer to Hostinger, new provider where I have the VPS I'm experimenting in.

Real game with WordPress multisite/multilingual and self-hosted Fediverse starts TODAY!

@elettrona @selfhosted Wordpress and fediverse... that's impressive as a starting point; most people begin with a basic web server and some hand-written pages.

    @khleedril @selfhosted It is 25 years I work on web, I started this self-hosting experience on my personal website, through YunoHost, which is a web-based application manager. Users say terminal knowledge is not needed, but, well, it helps a lot!
    I'm not a sysadmin, can't manage a VPS from scratch. But I do my best to make things work.

    Who tf starts with hand written pages? I always heard nextcloud, WordPress or the like.

    vim index.html

    <html><header><title>Welcome</title></header> 
    <body><h1>Welcome</h1>  
    <p>Here's my random thoughts and links I keep forgetting  
    </body></html>
    

    :wq

    Why would I want to learn wordpress, much less spin up a database, for that?

    listen, young grasshopper, back in my time we didn't have this wordpress thing you're talking about, nevermind nextcloud. back in my time if you wanted to host an homepage you had to write your html by hand, with a dip pen, on parchment, uphill in the snow!

    ok, I may be mixing up things a bit, but you don't have to be that old to have started self hosting pages when wordpress didn't exist and the alternatives were writing html directly with a text editor or, a few years later, using some kind of graphical editor that saved pretty bad html pages you could load on the server like your handwritten ones.

    (or you have to be old, and I am old :D )
