Some people view the Fediverse as any federated protocol.

Much like ActivityPub, it’s just a protocol, and it is whatever you make it.

You can but it is very clunky. Bonfire looks like they may have or will fix this in the future.

The Fediverse has plenty of problems but…this ain’t it.

A bigger problem would be the inevitable outcome of what happened with Instagram; people just post pictures of text to get more reach (and probably also to circumvent Mastodon’s stupid character limits).

It’s a stupid and arbitrary limitation, but I digress.

And how do you communicate with the Pi0?

It’s a nice article and it’s good to see you adopted automatic Docker installation but…you wrote an article about self-hosting, and then published it on…Medium…?

We all use Signal already for messaging but it just doesn’t fulfill our screenshare needs.

…why not?

Most important feature it needs is the ability to screenshare with system audio, such as for streaming games or watching videos.

It has that. Have you tried their videoconferencing feature?

Other than that you can use one of a million Jitsi instances (Element has a publicly available one). Personally I use MiroTalk.

Everyone uses Immich now 🤣

It exposes the server to the entire internet…

Maybe reverse proxies will do it for you

Reverse proxies require configuration.

what the security risks are for HTTPS for a service that will already be accessible remotely?

Already accessible via VPN. Meaning it’s only accessible to those explicitly allowed to access it.

It’s a lot more simple. If anything Nextcloud is better for Enterprise customers.

Exposing https requires a lot more configuration and also carries with it security risks.

OwnCloud

Hmmm we could use my Cryptpad instance… OK but I don’t get notification on my GMail

😡 ntfy.sh 😡

They don’t get my email address on a privately-hosted server…

You could use Matrix but it is very finicky and complicated.

You could use XMPP but they don’t have any nice clients.

You could use Zulip but it’s confusing as fuck to navigate.

You could use Mattermost but it’s tied to a corporation that seems intent on removing features from the open source version to convince you to buy a license.

You could use Quiet (not self-hosted but p2p) but it’s very new and very Alpha.

You can use NextCloud Talk but that’s probably more than you need, and it seems to be very difficult to maintain for many.

I won’t engage in any arguments, these are just my opinions, and options for OP.

Ghost is just one piece of selfhosted software. But I have inquired and they have declined.

They’re not running a charity.

They are, actually. They’re a registered non-profit.

Chances are the email requirement is just what they have for other features.

More unnecessary functionality.

You should probably ask the developers then

…which ones?
