This is for the Lemmy.World server (just the physical box, not the related VMs). Around 12TB last month.

It would have been better if they communicated to us first. I don’t disagree that user signups should be spread over instances. We now have a link to https://lemmyverse.net on our signup page so people can check if another instance would fit them better.

I do host some stuff myself 😉 but there’s one thing to keep in mind.

Don’t self host stuff that your family still needs after you’re gone. Unless they are self host nerds like you. I stopped self hosting our mail and docs for example.

Would you agree?

I did register writefreely.world planning to host that one day, but I need some more selfhosting nerds to help out running all these instances :-) The foundation is now already running a few dozen Fedi instances :-D

I run a pixelfed and misskey on the same server, and used to run a mastodon besides that. No issues. (I use docker)

Depends on what sort of invoices. For my invoices for billable hours, I use Kimai

I hadn’t either until a few years ago. It’s something worth considering.

(I’ll add links / descriptions later)

I host the following fediverse stuff:

• Lemmy (you’re looking at it)
• Mastodon (3 instances)
• Calckey oh sorry, now FireFish
• Pixelfed
• Misskey
• Writefreely
• Funkwhale
• Akkoma (2 instances)
• Peertube

And these are other things I host:

• Kimai2
• Matrix/Synapse
• Silver Bullet
• XWiki (3 instances)
• Cryptpad (2 instances)
• Gitea
• Grafana
• Hedgedoc
• Minecraft
• Nextcloud
• Nginx Proxy Manager
• Paperless-ngx
• TheLounge
• Vaultwarden
• Zabbix
• Zammad

Anything that the family uses. Because when I cease to exist, my wife isn’t gonna take over self-hosting! So e-mail, chat, documents etc.

Ooh… Silverbullet looks really useful!! Just installed, need to figure out what I can do, looks like a lot of functionality!

I really like Joplin

Oh too bad. I run it at h-y-p-e-r.space, so I’ll just continue to use Synapse for now. Don’t want to add a subdomain

I’m still running Synapse. Could I migrate this to Dendrite or others? Or would I have to just re-install and lose all messages…

I think I should own .world

Yes, terminology… I mean single instance. And although you can create pg_dumps of separate databases, a true (online) backup of separate databases is difficult. Tools like pgbackrest or barman don’t support it. (I mainly focus on Postgres)

Backup / restore gets complicated if you have multiple apps in 1 dB

Probably some bored kids.

I run XWiki in Docker.

I do now!

It’s run by the people that are making Lemmy. They’re very busy improving the code, which we already benefit from on our server, but I understand they don’t also have the time to update lemmy.ml with every change in code. I think a lot will improve as soon as 0.18.1 is released and am sure they will update lemmy.ml as well.
