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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hi all, I tried hosting my own lemmy instance to take some of the load off lemmy.world, but a lot of the posts do not get synchronised to my instance. When they do, they never got more than a couple upvotes.

I get a lot of warnings in the logs that I've got an incoming connection not on my allowed hosts, of which I've put "lemmy.world" and "lemmy.ml"

Does self hosting like this actually reduce the load on lemmy.world and the fediverse? And how can I fix the issue I'm having?

As someone said don't set allowed hosts, leave it blank. Only use the blacklist (I recommend blocking exploding heads).

What version are you running?

I ran the 0.18.1-rc3 branch off dockerhub

Didn't know allowed hosts allowed all when it's blank. Might give it another shot
