Self-hosting web services (email, www etc) as an alternative reminder in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Shout-out to mailcow-dockerized, a GPL-3 licensed setup of postfix/dovecot etc with sogo as webmail. Managed by a German IT company, I've been running it in production for more than a year, serving a handful of domains. Very happy with it.

Oh, and they're on mastodon as well: https://mailcow.social/@doncow

How do I use HTTPS on a private LAN without self-signed certs? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] xrun_detected@programming.dev 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

+1 for the letsencrypt wildcard with DNS verification, been using this for years. with dehydrated (https://github.com/dehydrated-io/dehydrated) you can automate renewing the certs, pretty convenient.

One thing i didn't see mentioned yet - you can also easily create a wildcard for a subdomain of your domain, e.g. *.local.example.com. Most DNS providers let you define something like _acme-challenge.local IN TXT ... so you don't even need to define an extra zone for local.example.com. Probably makes no big difference, but i like it ^^

I had used /e/ as a daily driver for about a year, on one of the officially supported phones (FP3). Installation was easy, and coming from other custom ROMs I remember thinking "wow, this just works!” ;) Didn't use any of the /e/ services, things worked fine connected to a self-hosted nextcloud.

For a usability I think this is how painless an alternative ROM should be if it wants to reach a wider audience.

Encrypting data on local servers? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] xrun_detected@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm using https://github.com/dracut-crypt-ssh/dracut-crypt-ssh on some of my servers. The initrd opens an ssh port where you can login and enter the passphrase. Setting it up is non-trivial, but it works well. Haven't tried it on Debian but there should be something similar.

What brand names do you insist on buying? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

Wera for screwdrivers and wrenches. Best tools I ever had.

Anyone here tried Owncloud? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] xrun_detected@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

Well, yes, but...

nextcloud forked owncloud back when there was only the php codebase.

opencloud forked owncloud ocis, which is a rewrite in go.

So while both forked "owncloud", or "something named owncloud", i doubt they'll have any code in common.

Owncloud seems to be pretty much over IIRC.

The company behind it got bought be some american company in 2023, that promised that everything will "stay as open as it is" - you won't believe what happened next ;)

Then recently many of the developers left to join OpenCloud, which seems to be a fork of owncloud, lead by a german open source veteran.
