What about popos?

Snikket is a simple, secure and private messaging app (based on XMPP) ( snikket.org )

For self-hosting though, the project I work on - Snikket - uses XMPP but has all the nice modern things you'd expect ready to go right out of the box, more like a Matrix (Synapse/Element) setup. Probably the biggest thing missing for Snikket right now is an official web app (we currently have Android and iOS apps)....

lautan OP ,

This is one-click install, easier for beginners / non-tech people.

lautan OP ,

I thought you could install as a docker container?

lautan OP ,

There is a docker container setup with automatic lets encrypt and proxy. Can search around for it.

lautan OP ,

No it's an open-source service to host your audio.

lautan OP ,

What kind of industry or type of solution do those projects solve? That can be a big factor too.

lautan OP ,

I know a lot of companies even if using your OSS won't pay for bug fixes etc. It's really sad.

lautan OP ,

That's too bad. I've done some open source before but nothing that popular. If someone finds it useful then it can't be crap.

Looks nice

lautan OP ,

For sure me too. Board the hype train.

I use blackbox, looks nice and can customize shortcuts. https://itsfoss.com/blackbox-terminal/

This is the best option

Framework 13 AMD running PopOS no issues. It’s great.

I'm new to networking and self-hosting and have no idea where to start.

I've been slowly working my way though a list of skills to learn, both to put on my resume and as personal growth. Networking is the next thing on this list. I am not sure what I am looking for, but I want to start another project. I have built many a personal computer, but the world of networking is a pretty foreign concept to...

I recommend an Orange pi 5 with Armbian installed. Raspberry pi is under powered and it’s a pain getting compatible software for the arch.

lautan ,

Many docker images are not built for the raspberry pi arch. Maybe the newer models don’t have the issue but installing anything like Nextcloud or Seafile was a pain.

lautan OP ,

That’s a good point. But those people can be banned? I guess Reddit handles this by moderation and archiving old posts.

lautan OP ,

Yeah that would be the case.

lautan OP ,

Well that’s why I’m asking for input. And I won’t launch this on every instance without letting them know. Baby steps.

lautan OP ,

I heard it’s not optimized well but I’ll take a look at it.

lautan OP ,

The fediverse is a few thousand servers, from Mastodon, Lemmy, etc. Can’t say the amount of posts but there are a lot.

So on the more technical side, I plan on using a light weight fast search engine called Sonic (It’s written in rust). I have already used it in other projects and it can handle billions of messages / posts. But it has a cost it doesn’t have faceted search, like for example if you want to exclude certain texts from the results. I think this is a fair trade off. The other solution would be to use something more mature like ElasticSearch but it’ll be expensive (I’m assuming not much money will be made from this and I’m talking about donations)

For scanning sites there are premade lists to start with and it’ll be possible to scan new sites from other instances if found. So a bit of both.

lautan OP ,

Yep

lautan OP ,

I mean they are posting on the public internet, they should know that it can be read by anyone. I like the idea of users opting out.

lautan OP ,

Yep, the idea is to simulate the type of results you get from Google. People trust Lemmy answers more than spam sites now a days.

lautan OP ,

It’s limited to only Peertube and it’s not the most intuitive. I want to work with them on expanding this.

lautan OP ,

It will be very little if not downloading full html pages.

lautan OP ,

I heard it will send out requests as fast as possible essentially creating a DOS attack but I could be wrong. Also the UI can use some improvement.

lautan OP ,

I’m reaching out to see their thoughts. But there are limitations to what they can index.

lautan OP ,

People been doing that now but it comes with limitations. Thanks for the input.

lautan ,

Why Arch? Why don’t you try PopOS? I never had an issue using that distro.

lautan ,

You can use nginx as reverse proxy that will redirect the traffic based on the path or domain.

Framework laptop is pretty good.
