Several weeks ago I started to monitor my #selfhosted services with #prometheus. Two weeks ago I set alarms to notify me about possible problems. And today I made updates and buckups so I used alert silencers for the first time. It's so straitforward. I love it.

Next huge task I am plannig is to migrate it all from docker to kubernetes.

if I where to setup a new @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org which server software is nicer to work with?

Synapse Or Conduit?

synapse seemingly has the pro in terms of support for tools such as synapse admin: github.com/Awesome-Technologie…
and the ability to use oauth and handle user management using solutions such as authentik.

while conduit seems to be more resource efficient and better in terms of speed?

Some of the reasons I chose @Tutanota and Coolify.

Extremely happy with both of them! Props to the devs.

The thing about blogs: If it looks modern with a short URL and has tons of cookie popups and self-promo, stay away. If it looks like a plain HTML page with some basic CSS, found at a long URL at the bottom of your search result, it's probably trustworthy and written by a passionate self-hosting human being.

Basically, the more it looks like motherfuckingwebsite.com, the higher the quality of the material you're about to read.

Would you help a poor single-user Friendica server admin out and boost this post?

Boosting will increase the number of servers my server federates with.

Thanks!

EDIT: that is probably not exactly how it works, but it kinda depends on which of the myriad of ActivityPub servers is seeing the boost, and I haven't checked all of them on how they decide what to pull in. For sure, having someone follow an account on the friendica server will have that friendica server push updates to the server of the follower, but other than that? Who knows :)

Thanks for the overwhelming amount of boosts anyway, and thanks to those following :)

I just migrated my personal #XMPP server based on #Prosody to its own #selfhosted server. I could not believe how easy it was, including transferring configuration, accounts, stored messages/files, etc.

BTW, the new server is just tiny, with 1GB of RAM, and it still seems to use only a fraction of it.

I suppose this is the result of dealing with an amazing protocol (XMPP) coupled with an excellent piece of technology (Prosody) 👏

“ I actually work with and manage multiple Kubernetes, mission critical infrastructure that actually matters. I spend my entire day working with containerised applications, and what do I find when I load up Reddit? Ansible playbook writing maniacs trying to automate their light switches. You are all a bunch of sick freaks who probably dream in YAML and wake up in cold sweats wondering if you forgot to enable that cron job”
