Good morning Fedi Friends!

Self-hosting journey day 3 – I'm about to check my #VPS setup to see if the #DNS records have finally propagated.

Massive massive respect for sysadmins and selfhosts who have to deal with this stuff all the time (and for critical jobs!)

Wish me luck 😅

My NEW idea of living dangerously: adding (or tweaking?) a PTR record for my VPS setup – because the last warnings I have on #YunoHost have to deal with reverse DNS.

✨ Just yesterday I had no idea what this all meant, LOL ✨

BTW if you find all these messages annoying, I recommend you mute my hashtag #mySoCalledSudoLife 🤗

And HUGE thanks to all the people who have provided brilliant tips so far!

Now REALLY wish me luck 😅

Good morning from Italy!

Taking advantage of the fact my parents are giving breakfast to my 3-year-old to do more #YunoHost tweaking.

I just ran the diagnostics and my jaw is ON THE FLOOR. I see GREEN ALL OVER - including "Email" (my nemesis) !!! 🥳

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Good morning Fedi friends!

Now that my VPS is set up correctly with #YunoHost, all I have to do is select the first app to install.

I was certain I would go with #Sharkey (as I'm totally smitten with it) but I'm now having a case of cold feet and wondering if I should pick #Friendica instead.

Do I select something beautiful and fun to use... or the most advanced software (with an old UX/UI)?

I'm currently the embodiment of the hard choice meme 😅

Update: we now have a new candidate in the running: #GoToSocial. Thank you to everyone who suggested it to me.

I've been looking at its documentation and I find it really impressive. Its "reply controls" are an amazing feature: docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/ (amongst many others)

Will read up about it and seriously consider it 😅

📣 Major update: I'm now hosting my own #Fediverse instance 🥳

It's hard to believe that when I wrote this post just 17 DAYS ago, I would reach one of my goals so soon: elenarossini.com/2024/12/intro

On 12/5 I wrote that I wished to become so proficient I could host my own Fediverse instance.

Well, thanks to the magic of #YunoHost I reached that goal today. I will share more details as soon as I beef up security and finish setting up.

P.S.: special thanks to my Fedi mentors ❤️
