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.

I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).

Hello from onlylans.io

I stood up an instance on linode for myself and a couple friends.

We’re lolimbeer.com !

Which is based on an old meme that I still find hilarious.

But, then I got a registration application that was excited about “lolis & beer”.

I still like the domain and I’ve had it sitting around for a minute, but i never really thought about it or read it that way before.

Sorry to hear that. But the whole thing is hilarious

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Lol, I thought so too.

Made me think of the arrested development license plate, A new start, ANUSTART .

Also on kubernetes, hopefully this message works. First time testing from my self-hosted instance.

https://lemmings.basic-domain.com (basic-domain.com since I already had it) lemmings because I loved that game, and it had a "lemmy" touch to it

lemmy.nrd.li - The domain is pronounced Nerd-ly. I welcome anyone that considers themself a nerd and any community someone feels like being nerdy about.

I also have like 20+ others domains... Most of which are unused... I may have a problem.

Hello fellow domain hoarder 🤣

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I created dis.ney.ink to try to be the Lemmy version of the Disney subreddits (such as r/dvcmember and r/waltdisneyworld) ... so far there's 3 users and ~9 subscribers

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Three users @borg.chat I was hoping to get established sooner but 0.17 gave me endless trouble that I was never able to resolve.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I tried installing an instance on Docker a few months ago, and it didn't work. Last month version was far easier to install imo

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

jemmy.jeena.net is a subdomain because under the main domain is my own website.

I don't host lemmy (yet) but my domain is zyphr.xyz, I wanted zephry.xyz but it was taken.

Wish I had looked at other options before choosing to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

fl0w.cc- single user; the domain is meant to be part of my username :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I have a few but my main one is https://nick.geek.nz followed by https://nickwebster.dev which currently just had a redirect, some email stuff, and this Lemmy instance.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Started like 20 minutes ago, currently kinda getting created.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

New instance less than 20 people ATM. If you can't see it from the username it is Kerala.party

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

My instance has a couple users currently lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hello. I run coeus.sbs

It hasn't been running long and it will evolve over time. I have a community called [email protected] for posting images of green things.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Howdy! Just me over here… 👍

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I have no.lastname.nz 31 'users' but 20 are bots that have been banned

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I started with fbxl.net, the domain I've owned forever. It started with social.fbxl.net, then video.fbxl.net, then lotide.fbxl.net, and now lemmy.fbxl.net. I've also got a matrix home server and a nostr relay.

If there's a piece of advice I can give you, it's to plan to self host more than just one thing. Once you have one thing, you're going to find out it's kind of addictive having your own thing to go to and you might want to host other things. Subdomains are a nice way to give you that chance.

https://lemmy.socdojo.com because I'm not creative with names and just tacked it onto everything else on my lab/domain. The 'socdojo' part came from my first IT job where the T2/SOC referred to their little cave as the 'socdojo' aka a training ground for the soc newbs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Self-hosting lemmy.blue!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I was surprised nobody'd thoughr of this domain before. feditown.com

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

l.dustybeer.com

I'm the only one here.

voltage.vn

Closed registration while I fix some stuff, which might be a while. So I've only got 2 human users or so.

Last I checked mine is the only instance in Vietnam, but that might not be true anymore.

https://leddit.danmark.party, because it's running a bot named Leddit that pulls content from Reddit. And, uh, Denmark Party, because I love Denmark and I thought it would be really funny to own a domain named this. I also wanted to split my serious and silly projects into different domains, so I bought this extra domain and use it for all of my silly projects now.

(Not posting directly from that instance so I can leave the bot in peace, but federation definitely works because posts from it are getting through to other instances)
