This is good to know because I’m learning about nginx currently, so I’m glad it has practical use without opening up my network 🤘

What a relief, thanks for the clarity! I have vague memories of doing that as a teenager to play various games with friends, which sounds like something risky a teenager would do 😅

Shoutout to @[email protected] for helping me appreciate the joy of docker compose. I got to set up Navidrome and it’s been great!

With that said, I have a security-related question: at what point in self-hosting am I exposed to the outside internet that warrants things like reverse proxies and other security measures? I’m currently typing router IPs (e.g. 192.168.x.x) to access the services, so is my machine exposed if the only people intending to connect are local on our wireless network?

try using docker compose instead of docker, it makes everything so much clearer

It’s absurd how right you are — I just figured that out and everything suddenly works perfectly

Good to know, thank you for the tips!

Total noob to Docker (desktop for windows) and I’m just trying to figure out how (and where) to add a config to my Navidrome image or change lines on the image itself, to point it to my music library and create admin login credentials (ಥ﹏ಥ) If I can accomplish that then I eventually want to try Immich or NextCloud afterward.

I want to switch to Linux but I’m not sure where to start! I want to

• play current-gen games (graphically speaking) on steam, as well as
• lots of retro games with Launchbox/RetroArch
• do 3D modeling in blender, and
• produce music in a free DAW.

I don’t know if any of those factors impose restrictions due to software/hardware differences (or if that even makes a difference), but I want to move over everything I can into a linux environment

Is Vanadium not as ideal compared to Ironfox? I’m new to GOS

Open source means it can be publicly audited to help soothe suspicion, right? I imagine that would take time, though, if it’s incredibly complex

I’ve been getting into the fediverse for less than a month, and it seems the biggest barrier for a newcomer like me is settling on a select few out of many clients/apps. One question I think a lot of people migrating want to know is (and I open this up to anyone):

What’s the fewest signups needed if we want to enjoy all of the federated replacements to corporate social media? It sounds like each client demands its own account but I’m wondering where/if there’s overlap, because…

My Lemmy account already worked on movim before i discovered movim. That’s really cool but I don’t know 100% how that worked (same community server, I think), and how many other apps/clients offer that.

Movim is XMPP and I don’t know how that overlaps with ActivityPub, but I want to better understand so that I know how few accounts are necessary so I can micro and macro blog, share original/repost images videos and music, have group communities, and have a personal page to post things on as opposed to thread/conversations/forum posts and not have to manage ten separate accounts if I can help it

Good to know! Still new to the fediverse so I’m trying to get a good lay of the land in terms of what different platforms offer

Isn’t Hubzilla the next one they made?

I had a feeling it was something like that 😅 I’m excited for the platform and for the future of the fediverse, and I hope the upsizing is as painless as possible!

Patiently waiting for my application to get accepted (ಥ﹏ಥ) how long does it take on average?
