Self-hosting journey update, and WordPress: latest development from a super-newbie
@selfhosted
I must recap as I set my instance to delete 2-weeks-old posts.
Months ago, I talked about my very first journey with self-hosting my digital services, including my website.
As I'm not very skilled with sysadmin stuff, I use a YunoHost installation with all its pros and cons.
Having severe accessibility needs (I'm totally blind) I have limited choices for what concerns CMS software with related extensions if any. So after months of exploration and test, I've come back home. To WordPress.
Last time I updated Fediverse about my experience, I was struggling with multisite network giving an unpleasant error in the non-main site, such as "too_many_redirects"
Making it short, I discovered that YunoHost doesn't let me run a multisite properly when installed in a subdomain such as blog.domain.tld
So I had forcefully to install it in the main domain, and a subdirectory such as domain.tld/wp
Now I'm concentrating on my theme, I will clone it with the plugin "CreateBlockTheme" then activate it network-wide.
I need a multisite for multilingual, as all current multilingual plugins have poor accessibility support, and are mostly paid.
Then I may need a new taxonomy registered to organize stories, the glossary plugin, SEO plugin, ActivityPub, and I should be all set!
The last, hard, challenge I have, is the fact that now my site runs into "domain.tld/permalink-post" for Italian, and "domain.tld/english" for English
The new one should run "domain.tld/wp/post" and "domain.tld/wp/english/post"
YunoHost doesn't let me build a WordPress site in the root directory with multisite installed, so I must find the way to tell nginx I want the product to be physically on /wp/ but browser can point to domain.tld/post or domain.tld/english/post...
And if possible, this change to be in a file on its own, in order to be able to delete it without damaging the whole nginx conf.
Last detail, I'm on hostinger, kvm2 package. vps.

Hello! I am a product/project manager in software development. I'm interested in FOSS, science fiction, playing piano, making music on FL Studio, and hiking. También aprendiendo español. I set up this server to learn more about self-hosting and the fediverse. I want to learn more about mesh. I'm also learning about web development.

Hetzner is doing another price increase.
this time it seems to only affect new orders, not existing ones .. but the price increase is pretty steep, like 2-3x or more

The webserver for my websites (https://blog.hofstede.it and others) is now runing on 15.1-RELEASE arm64 with PKGBase 🙂
Upgrade from 15.0 to 15.1was pleasantly boring:
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/#pkgbase
- Creating a BE for the new version
- Mounting the BE to /mnt/upgrade
- Executing :env ABI=FreeBSD:15:aarch64 pkg-static -c /mnt/upgrade upgrade -r FreeBSD-base”
- bectl activate -t 15.0-RELEASE
- Rebooting the system
Everything working fine, all lights green

I’ve started a new server for those of us obsessed with selfhosting and homelabbing.
If you love tinkering with servers, automating your house, or just hoarding data, come say hi! It’s a chill place to learn, share, and troubleshoot together.

Seems Bitwarden is enshittifying, time to pick a successor. Going to setup vaultwarden, aliasvault and passbolt and try them out for a couple of months before making the final decision.
It's not just for me so best to be extra careful. Vaultwarden has a leg ahead as it's very easy to migrate, I should be able to run it with the Bitwarden app.

Introducing ChatSLM. A small language model with a big heart.
▪ 0 tokens per query
▪ 0 L cooling water
▪ runs on a single ARM64 core in Nuremberg, hosted on FreeBSD.
▪ no telemetry, nothing sent anywhere
▪ consistent, reproducible answers every single time
Give it a try. It's often quite helpful.

I run https://blog.hofstede.it aiming for maximum digital sovereignty!
DNS: My own authoritative servers (PowerDNS) with DNSSEC signing.
HW: Own physical server in a German colocation
Net: My own Autonomous System (AS201379) for full BGP control
Stack: 100% FOSS (FreeBSD, Caddy, Forgejo, Pelican)
Web: <600kb total size, 0 trackers, 0 external deps. All assets hosted locally.
I don't even log IPs. Data I don't store is data I can't accidentally leak. Keeping data is a burden!

Self-hosting isn't about trusting the internet less. It's about trusting the person in the mirror more, even when that person accidentally breaks their own DNS at 11 PM. #SelfHosting

Hot take: the most underrated skill in tech isn't writing code. It's knowing when NOT to build something. Every self-hosted project I've loved started with 'do I actually need this, or do I just want to tinker?' The answer is usually both, and that's fine. #selfhosting #fediverse

Weekend project that turned into infra I actually run daily: MastoSum.
The stack: RHEL host, 100% rootless Podman. Web on FastAPI, Celery worker/beat/flower, PostgreSQL 16, Valkey. All on userspace networking (pasta), images built & shipped by a self-hosted Forgejo runner. No root daemon, no privileged anything.
What it does: tracks technical hashtags all day and produces one daily briefing, every point linked to the original post + author. It reads only public hashtag timelines, credits every source, and trains on nothing.
And yes, an LLM writes the prose: a local Ministral model from French lab Mistral AI, running on my own hardware. No cloud, nothing leaving the box. Saying that plainly, not burying it. The whole design goal was to point readers *back* at the authors, not replace reading them.
Example output:

Grow Your Own Services 🌱
@homegrown@social.growyourown.services
Encouraging non-technical people and organisations to set up their own online services instead of relying on massive corporations. All the recommended services are free and open source, and available through managed hosting providers. You can find out more on my website at https://growyourown.services 🚫 Completely opposed to cryptocurrency, "web3", NFTs, blockchain, tokens, defi, daos etc. They are scams. Maintained by @FediThing
social.growyourown.services
If you want to set up several different online services but can't afford different domain names for them all, you can just use subdomains of one domain instead. They are limitless and cost nothing extra.
e.g. You could have a Mastodon server at social.example.com, a PeerTube server at video.example.com, a Nextcloud server at cloud.example.com etc.
Each subdomain can use totally different software and be on totally different hosting providers.
