You can hist both on the same VPS without problems.
But hosting things is kind of involved, especially installing and updating. You at least need Linux knowledge to be able to do it.
An alternative seems to be https://yunohost.org/ which takes over most of the work for you, but I have never tried it myself.
Yeah the hetzner one.your biggest bottleneck will be the hard drive space.
But here I would propose to get a object storage and connect it to peertube, mastodon and Pixelfed, all of them let you store the media files in object storage, that is probably the cheapest way to host it.
Oh and as a future PeerTube admin, may I interest you in my channel? https://tube.jeena.net/c/peertube_admin_chronicles/videos
Every software has its own documentation, so you need to look there because they are made with different technologies so that the installation process is different.
You can start with the smallest VPS, mastadon, pixelfed and peertube should work well enough on it. Once you want Lemmy you will need to expand it, but that’s normally quite easy with VPS providers, without the need of reinstalling.
The accounts server is also part of the same repo, it’s called tokenserver https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs/tree/master/tokenserver-auth but yeah good luck getting that up and running.
Yes I did for many many years. There are two parts of it, one is the accounts themselves like the identity and the other part is the part which syncs the objects. I don’t host the account myself, I just use mozillas account server, because I don’t see much benefit for me and it’s quite complicated to do.
Bach then I wrote a long article about how to do it with the old python version: https://jeena.net/firefox-sync-15 but that version is obsolete because it was written in Python 2.x which had it’s end of life a coupple of years ago.
Now there is the rust version. The problem is that the rust version is even more complicated to set up. Therefor I created a docker-compose so people could do it in a easy way, and it collected quite many github-stars: https://github.com/jeena/fxsync-docker/
This is the one which I am still using, but it’s also a older version from last year. It uses the docker images Mozilla releases. There is a problem https://github.com/jeena/fxsync-docker/issues/3 with the newer version and configuring it to run with your own MariaDB instance instead of google-spanner which Mozilla uses.
To fix this a guy took inspiration from my git-repo and did a lot of work building his own docker images with the configuration changed so it uses MariaDB instead of spanner: https://github.com/porelli/firefox-sync
Sadly I didn’t have time yet to check out his version, but it looks very promising.
Yes exactly, but not only to the NAS but also between each other.
First you need to change the UI port on the second user, to do that you have to change it in the config XML file for that user.
Once done you can start both instances at the same time. How do you start it now? I’m starting it with systems, and there is the way to start it for each user seperatelly on boot with:
systemctl enable syncthing@myuser.service
systemctl start syncthing@myuser.service
For android there is https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/wiki
I use syncthing like you on a Linux laptop with two users. You need to run two instances of syncthing on two different ports then there is no problem.
PostgreSQL is the more feature rich, but if you don’t care about all those features like saving and searching in json structures, Geo data structures and a to of other stuff because you have a simple APO then MySQL is good enough, maybe even SQLite.
I agree with your sentiment that it’s very bad that you can’t even move communities to a new server if the admin wants it, not to talk about if they didn’t want to.
I really like how matrix implemented it, you can start a public room, other people can make aliases, if your server is gone everything is still accessible through the aliases.
How hard are the concept of uploading to more than one platform and dogfeeding selfhosting to understand.
The thing is people always talk about there being not enough content on peertube but then nobody uploads their videos to it even if they have an instance. And on top of it, there is a easy way to synchronize your YouTube and PeerTube channel too if you insist to keep using YouTube for uploading, just add your YouTube channel URL to your PeerTube channel and tell it to synchronize, that’s it, it will do it for you. But for some reason the self hosting YouTubers can’t be bothered with that?
Most of the views would be still in YouTube anyway, and those tremendous amounts are not that big because with PeerTube you share the bandwidth with other instances and even other clients (source: I’m running my own instance).
So they do have a PeerTube instance, just chose not to upload anything to it?
They could always upload a copy to YouTube to reach the rest also.
So why are the videos not self hosted?
I use http://www.duckdns.org/
Ah interesting to see where our Korea community is running on :D
https://radicale.org is taking care of our address books, shared calendars for the family, todos and notes, all with one Backend but many different clients on different operating systems.
