Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I tend to grow my fleet of servers every couple months, and that requires me to once again setup everything from the beginning, settings, sshd, update debian if old version, new user for ssh, docker/podman, ...
Quite literally added new vps to my fleet yesterday and spent 4 hourson setting all that up, when it could have been a simple ansible script.
Then yes, learning Ansible is a good way to have base OS settings for your systems. I love that it's agentless - works over SSH.
The ugly part is that they keep updating it in a backwards incompatible way. In one version the paramerer is called "file" and in another it's "dest", they pull shit like this and don't provide a tool to update playbooks automatically.
But updating is rather optional.
Sed comes into play there, or :%s in vim, whichever you prefer ;)
