A friend just told me about Start9, which makes both hardware and an OS for self-hosting:

Nice!

@LoudLemur Commento does work with Ghost.

It's funny how the guide to a self hosted fee free substack / patreon site using Ghost builds on a paid theme and a paid commenting system that's all but fee free. Nice side step circle.

@doodlemania2 @jdaviescoates
As for Substack running on Ghost, NOPE, it's just them using Ghost compatible themes on top of Substack.

Well, I host Cloudron in my home office with dynamic IPs on a NUC. Outbound email gateway is my very privacy conscious mail provider mailbox.org. For a small family, that’s more than sufficient.

This is the coolest way to run Cloudron, the way that, I think, could bring Cloudron to the masses.

If you ever have time and the inclination and could create some sort of "how-to" video explaining how to solve the tricky parts of accomplishing your setup, I think that could be massive for Cloudron. @girish @nebulon what do you think?

The cool thing: it’s all already building into cloudron! Dynamic IPs DNS (in the network settings) and support for email gateways.

The only thing you have to do on your side is to report your current IP regularly to the domain provider. This happens via ddclient, most commercial routers have a similar function build-in.

@ajtatum Congrats on the success and all the learning! 😎

@timconsidine said in Video Streaming for Cloudron:

@LoudLemur in my understanding, streaming (especially Live) is not so much a question of technology, but of scale and server/bandwidth resources to support dozens, hundreds, thousands of connections. It is necessary to consider use case and scale in order to answer effective performance.

I think you have a pretty good idea of how that should be thought from the basis. So, in this regard, asking oneself for a start, what's the ultimate goal using video streaming or even podcasts or video sharing would be worth spending a bit of time on the question.

As @luckow mentioned about the possibilities and limitations of a VPS using a 1G bandwidth, it is important to keep in mind that for live streaming to large audiences it will eventually take more than 1G of bw output to smoothly scale streaming to such audience, whatever output capacity you have on your server. When you get in the thousands of live viewers even increasing RAM on the server won't be sufficient, it will help but you will need a bigger pipe to push it out. 🙂

OBS Ninja is a good example. Relatively simple to install/host. But how much does it support ? I don't know, but I would guess on most VPS servers or even small dedicated servers, it would be relatively limited.

OBS is used on your local rig and so it depends on your local resources to reach the streaming service server.

I know Peertube has live streaming capacities as well, however I haven't had the time to test it out yet. It would be interesting to learn about anyone else who might have tested this already, and if tested with OBS and well it works, or not lol 😆

Happy for someone to challenge this understanding. Would love to be proved wrong.
Happy to prove you right ✅

@samuelbevan2000 you have to port forward port 443 in the router to the vm.

@necrevistonnezr said in Thinking about self-hosting; why do/don't you run your own hardware?:

More interesting is the router you have at home and what traffic you're able to block etc. More advanced routers allow to block traffic based on IP lists etc.
