Wireguard in docker, no way of password authentication?
casey 5 months ago • 100%
Yo - absolutely!
WG easy posts the GUI on a separate port than the primary Wireguard port you'd need to open in the firewall. I think it's 51821 - but this can easily be changed depending on if you're using docker-compose files or a gui like portainer to manage this.
In my case - I am using Nginx Proxy Manager - and it even has it's own basic password requirement "Access List" availability. With NPM I'm routing that gui over vpn (local dns) but you could put it behind a password with limite security via Access List, or the step beyond look into "middleware" like Keycloak.

[SOLVED] Why is my Lemmy instance not finding other instances' communities?
casey 1 year ago • 100%
I am glad to see more people selfhosting their own. Makes me feel less out. Had the same issues.

Reddit does not have the problem in the exact same way. To have to articulate the nuance would be exhausting and clearly not productive. Please continue to ask that question until this community has a valid answer.

Self-Hosting Lemmy: How easy is it to federate?
casey 1 year ago • 100%
I have so far been able to access and post on everyone else’s instance from my own. I do struggle with searching but I’ve considered that to be due to the large amount of people. Example was when beehaw crashed the other day.
So far, it’s been simple enough.

Adding allowed instances
casey 1 year ago • 100%
I believe I've had to put them in there if I wanted them to be easily searchable. It did seem I could access another instance but that mine didn't have any interest in collecting data until that was put in.

Are all these thousands of lemmy servers useless?
casey 1 year ago • 100%
A very valid question I am also interested in knowing. I’m wondering how much management it will be for me - who created his own instance and am having to find all the other communities myself. Or if my instance is doing anything but providing me a unique instance address and name.
Chatcasey 1 year ago • 100%
In a sense I promoted that idea because I believe that communication should be open and free. Frankly, I do agree with you that keeping the community to mildly tech savvy folks is quite nice indeed.
I welcome and look forward to reading everyone’s thoughts on the issue. I made some large posts because I wanted new folks to see they could come here - not that they will stick around ultimately.
It’ll be up to them.

Best Providers for hosting a Lemmy Instance?

I haven’t tried, but I imagine federating will be a hassle without a clear way for the other services to exchange responses.

How can we backup all posts from a community in the old place (/r/quebec for instance) and copy all posts and comments to the new place (/c/quebec) ?
casey 1 year ago • 100%
I think it’s more people tired of the pollution that took place, and trying to preserve the clean and friendly one we have so far.
I do personally agree with saving old ones, but I’d highlight them as legacy and then make only the admin be able to edit/create content there, with links to the new one still as suggested before.
Don’t burn books, but let’s not study incorporate the worst things and make them normal here. I think is the feeling.
I support the archiver program myself xD

Reddit Exodus: Welcoming the Selfhosted Community to Lemmy - Migrating to Freedom! (Crosspost)
casey 1 year ago • 100%
I agree, which is why I offered no solution as of yet… I suppose best we have right now is resounding opinion of ‘most liked’ in a thread. I suppose that would lean itself to revealing the idea which holds the highest consensus.
In some tech groups, it may become feasible for malicious actors to feign intelligence, and that’s partly what I’m hoping this slowly curtails. Use of LLM and the rest in our discourse.

While I’m immediately tempted to request to be made a mod, I’m going to wait a day or so and see how frequently other new members start posting.
This is my day one, so not ideal for me to make any assertions or claims. I do enjoy the spirit that we have though so far.

I’m going to be honest and say it’s probably a challenge, but with the combination of ChatGPT4, I bet you be just as successful as I was! I was able to get my instance to run behind Nginx Proxy Manager. It took several changes but is functional now.

Greetings, self-hosting enthusiasts and welcome to the Selfhosted group on Lemmy! I am formerly /u/Fimeg now Casey, your tour guide through the labyrinth of digital change. As you’re likely aware, we’re witnessing a considerable transformation in the landscape of online communities, particularly around Reddit. So let’s indulge our inner tech geeks and dive into the details of this issue, and explore how we, as a self-hosting community, can contribute to the solution. The crux of the upheaval is a policy change from Reddit that’s putting the existence of beloved third-party apps, like Reddit is Fun, Narwhal, and BaconReader, in jeopardy. Reddit has begun charging exorbitant fees for API usage, so much so that Apollo is facing a monthly charge of $1.7 million. The ramifications of these charges have resulted in an outcry from the Reddit community, leading to a number of subreddits planning to go dark in protest. These actions have pushed many users to seek out alternative platforms, such as Lemmy, to continue their digital explorations. The migration to Lemmy is especially significant for us self-hosters. Third-party applications have long been a critical part of our Reddit experience, offering unique features and user experiences not available on the official app. As members of the Selfhosted group on Lemmy, we’re not just bystanders in this shift - we have the knowledge, skills, and power to contribute to the solution. One of the ways we can contribute is by assisting with the archiving efforts currently being organized by r/datahoarder on Reddit. As self-hosting enthusiasts, we understand the value of data preservation and have the technical acumen required to ensure the wealth of information on Reddit is not lost due to these policy changes. So, while we navigate this new territory on Lemmy, let’s continue to engage in productive discussions, share insights, and help to shape the future of online communities. Your decision to join Lemmy’s Selfhosted group signifies a commitment to maintain the spirit of a free and open internet, a cause that is dear to all of us. Finally, in line with the spirit of the original Reddit post, if you wish to spend money, consider supporting open-source projects or charities that promote a free and accessible internet. With that, let’s roll up our digital sleeves and embark on this new journey together. Welcome to the Selfhosted group on Lemmy! P.S.

Indeed - today something finally toppled in the internet realms. I felt it, and I created my first instance and joined. I'm sure many others will to.
I even ran into a few difficulties setting up my instance not yet documented but added a few comments to the relevant github threads. It's happening, and fast.

It cost me nothing really to add the instance but I've yet to add a bunch of people talking and communicating - thus filling my drives... In the past I used the Matrix protocol and while it's entirely different I think for a moderate community we should be able to last a good year on a TB if we has some reasonable limitations on size.

I had been having a bunch of issues attempting to connect different communities from there to my instance - so it wouldn't surprise me xD

I kinda write biased so I could spur precisely this sort of stimulating response. What will it mean when the large cluster of people aren't quite as readily available though... and finding the hidden communities is once again about being 'in the know'... I'm really just musing over here as I watch the world...

I concur and am actively researching this issue as well. I, for example created my own instance but am not entirely sure I should be the one to host yet another Selfhosted community. I am hoping for a dominate 2/3 of them to win out, preferably lemmy.ml as it was the first I discovered. Alas, you asked a very pertinent question that I think you should keep searching to find. I did see the owner on Lemmy.world actually responding to his thread...
We should absolutely instill the desire to keep this community alive though.
What do you guys think? Will many instances of these platforms intercommunicating strengthen or weaken our ability to converse?

I think this is one of the first pushes where convivences don't mesh with security. We have been taken advantage of for a very long time, and very easily. This type of diversification I feel will ultimately be healthy.
